The team may not need Ertz, but if they don’t it’s not because they grabbed the 9th RB and the 17th and 30th WRs taken in the draft. bingo. and if we are 12-2 with a shot at homefield and a bye week... and take an injury or two in the passing game... I’m all for having a surplus of proven commodities instead of seeing who might be able to step up. not a pressing need to be a playoff contender. The type of move you think about if you think you are a super bowl contender. 1

Imagine living in the year 2020, where the Chiefs are coming off a Super Bow won with a third year QB because they have the most talent-laden offense in the NFL, and saying the Bills don’t need another good receiving target because Dawson Knox isn’t a rookie anymore.

I guess if you come to play only one or two games a season, choosing the Superbowl as one of those is pretty smart.

Billl Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I find it unfathomable that so many fans of a team that once lost 4 consecutive Super Bowls waive their hands at the idea of adding one more weapon.

But I'm curious to see how this offense looks to start the season. We may not really need him. - Addition of Stefon Diggs - Drafting Zack Moss to replace aging Frank Gore - Drafting two good-sized WRs in Gabriel Davis and Isaiah Hodgins - Not to mention a year of experience for Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney at TE All of these factors, plus hopefully another step in development for Josh Allen - and I think we may be good enough to score quite a few points on offense. We really didn't struggle in the Red Zone last year. Our biggest problem came between the 40s, and drive-killing mistakes. I gave your comment a like because I too share your optimism about the fact that we traded for Diggs, drafted Moss, Davis and Hodgins, and that I also am hopeful that Knox fixes his drops issues and becomes the best TE this team has had since Metzelaars. HOWEVER, those are ALL just "ifs" at this point in time. I do strongly believe that the Diggs addition is the closest thing to produce immediate dividends. But for all the talk, all the hype surrounding Davis, and to a lesser degree Hodgins, these are still just rookies(4th and 6th rounders at that) who have yet to play a down in the NFL, at a position that typically takes a couple years to really get adjusted to, even for bonafide blue-chip 1st rounders. And the same goes for Moss. We're talking about a 3rd rd draft pick that hasn't seen the field yet, has been a little banged up in training camp, and isn't even projected to be the primary RB. I think he has a great chance to be productive in his first year, however not sure how much of a "difference maker" he can be, especially this year. I'm praying Knox has worked through his drops issues, and if he has, man his ceiling is sky high...but if we have the ability to sign a guy like Ertz, and I'm Beane, I'm breaking BOTH legs running to the phone to make this deal happen. The guy is a proven top 5 talent at his position and takes our offense to certified ELITE status instantly. No brainer.....i make this happen 100 times out of 100...

Their cap is all screwed up and Goedert is the best backup TE in the NFL They are in the neighborhood of 90 million over the cap floor For 2021...yeah, at some point this team needs to move people.

I won’t say beane is sitting on his hands but some fans are terrified of being the favorite instead of an underdog.

Yup. fills a nice niche with this roster and without a huge long term commitment can age off the roster as young guys get pay days. A set with ertz, diggs, brown, beasley, and singletary is actually elite instead of good. And has more depth. 5 minutes ago, MJS said: Most of the players they want brought in are not that good.

machine gun kelly Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Saint, I like you’re head on this one with the set. We could also see a 12 personnel with Diggs, Brown, Ertz, Knox, and take you’re pick, Moss or Motor amd we are the reincarnation of the Ravens last year. They played a lot of 12 personnel last year and was hard to defend.
GreggTX Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Knox has potential, but a handful of splash plays don't make him great. He needs consistency. As of now, he is not even average due to drops mostly. I think he will improve, but how quickly? Ertz would be a huge addition, but that also assumes that Allen makes enormous strides as a passer or he won't be able to take full advantage of his receivers.

They had lots to spend and spent it on (now overpaid) career backups. Everyone is swooning over guys like Addison and Jefferson. Then again, we have a 'Josh Allen MVP thread, so why not? Diggs was the only impact player added this offseason other than rookies. I just hope Davis Moss and Epinesa pan out. Edited September 4, 2020 by GreggTX
