Feel like an opportunity was missed here to simply ask… ”any updates on this?”

Miami was horrible in the trenches on both sides of the ball vs. Jax. As such… O- The OL (Cook &Davis by extension) D - Oliver & Groot

They were not similar games. I don’t think you watched the MIA game. Dolphins looked soft. Jax ran the ball at will on them and Miami’s OL couldn’t get much push either. If McDaniel can’t scheme up quick, open looks the Dolphins’ O gets pushed around and Tua is hesitant. Miami got dominated for 3/4 of the game and a few flukey plays got them the W. That is not what happened in Buffalo.

I was only responding to your response about Allen and the potential for this offense to do something similar the KC the past two years, that’s all. I still have plenty of concerns about this team, particularly the defense, when it comes to crunch time against good teams. I also expect the Bills O to struggle early in the season while they try to integrate a lot of new players and kinda/sorta a new offense. However I expect the O to get things together by game 5-6, though with this schedule that might be too late…

Defensive performance in the playoffs, plain and simple. The Bills’ D, either do to players, coaches or injuries has not produced like the KC D. Football is a team game… There’s also the idea of trying to use such a small sample size as playoff football to justify a take, why not use the much larger sample size of “all games played.”

Reading between the lines what I see is, “ Mahomes pads his stats with 1 yard TD passes that Andy Reid schemes up.” Am I doing this right?

The two are closer than most football fans want to admit. They're equals almost everywhere but Mahommes is the much better screen/short passing game QB. Allen frequently misses in this area and he's one of the reasons the Bills' screen game has been subpar - his ball placement doesn't allow for YAC.

The problem is you’re misidentifying the weakness and why they’re blitzing. They’re not doing it to exploit the OL, they’re doing it because the Bills lacked the ability to make them pay for the blitz - a WR group who can get behind the D. It’s also why the Bills’ didn’t throw deep as often as in the past.

Yep, back in the day the news was free… Wait, what??!!! F’n paywalls!!!

Just read a couple of write ups on him, both says he plays 3T (or 5T) which makes sense given his size.

Reaching a spot here soon where one of the 5th round picks would be enough to move up from 95.

Please take Mitchell. I want no part of a lack of effort talent.

Yeah, on tape, he’s my favorite DL prospect in this draft. His medicals leave me wanting nothing to do with him. From what I’ve read his fusion survey gives a player - on average - 3-4 years playing time before it fails. Maybe he’s the exception, I wouldn’t take the chance though, let another team make that gamble.

Pretty soon it won’t take next year’s 1st to move up…

To take a defensive player? The teams at the top of the draft are the worst teams in the league…

I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade up for Turner or Verse. Everyone would assume it’s for a WR then be pissed when it wasn’t. 😂

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I’d prefer, in order: 1) Trade back, grab a WR 2) Trade up to 8-10, grab a WR 3) Pick a non WR at 28 if the value dictates it. 4) Draft a WR at 28. This is all generally speaking, of course, it depends on how the board falls. Only WR that can reasonably be gotten at 28 who I’d take there is BTJ. I don’t think he’s falling that far. I like Robinson there if he’s available. And while I love Latu’s game I just can’t get behind selecting him earlier than, say, the 3-4th. Everything I’ve read says that his fusion surgery has an average shelf life of 3-4 playing years. He's a ticking time bomb and has already used up most of those years. Maybe someone gets lucky but let another team take that gamble.

Which is why if one of the top 4 or so guys at edge are there in the 1st the Bills should seriously consider taking one as one of the plethora of WRs will still be around in round 2. Taking advantage of the depth of the WR class means you don't HAVE to take one in the 1st.

The Athletic did a similar exercise a week or so ago. They didn’t share the metrics they used but the Bills came in as the 4th best team in the league based on roster construction. I think that’s a tad high and it’s somewhere in between 4 and 10.

Other. It obviously depends on how the board looks but, in general, given how bunched up the WR are after the “Big 3” I’d like to see the Bills trade back somewhere in the 35-40 range, picking up a 3rd in the process then draft a WR there. Then, use one of the 4th round picks to move up in the 2nd and grab a WR again. The Bills could conceivably end up with something like McConkey and Lagette.

With how deep this class is I don’t want them spending the assets necessary to move that far up but I’d be all for double dipping at the WR position in rounds 1 and 2.

Yeah, I mostly browse these days. Not sure what inspired me to actually reply this time. I’m usually able to ignore bad takes.

Did you see the D on Sunday? Swarming to the ball, fired up after every play. They were the definition of “high energy.” You’re confusing sloppiness - on offense, in the passing game- with low energy. Even in the run game they're shown that they can blow teams off the LoS, which doesn’t illustrate “low energy.”.

Manning wouldn’t tolerate “bad behavior” by Harrison? Harrison, unlike Diggs, had several serious bahvavioral issues and I never heard Manning say a word about any of it. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/114971-marvin-harrison-the-nfls-quiet-bad-boy-wide-receiver So don’t lecture us about Manning “holding Harrison accountable.” 🙄
