mjt328 Posted November 5 Posted November 5 On paper, the 2022 team probably had the most overall roster talent. There was a reason everyone was picking us to win the Super Bowl before that season. For the first few games, they really looked the unbeatable (Rams, Titans). Starting in Week 3 injuries started tearing us down (Micah Hyde, Von Miller obviously the biggest), and they never reached full potential. I think the high expectations, the injuries and the Damar Hamlin situation really drained them by season's end. There are pieces of this roster I really like. This is easily the best RB room that we've had during that period. Same with O-Line and Tight End. If we ever get to see Matt Milano and Terrell Bernard on the field together, it would also be the best at that position group. Christian Benford, Rasul Douglas and Taron Johnson are probably the best combined CB group, although Tre White was the best single player at that position. At the same time, this is easily the weakest Safety duo we've fielded since Sean McDermott became the coach. Wide Receiver looked good when everyone was playing (for one week). Outside of that, it's been the worst unit we've given Josh Allen to work with. The D-Line has the players, but is really playing poorly this season outside of Groot and some splash plays from AJ Epenesa. Quote
DCofNC Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Glad some people have noticed the competition level, the teams they have beaten have an average of about 3 wins on the year, nothing to get excited about yet. If they can even hang with the Lions, I’ll have more optimism. I expect the back half of this season to be ugly. 3rd or 4th seed is most likely, depending on the health of the Texans. The rest of the division is so far back, it’ll take a miracle to not win it, but there’s a strong chance they lose at least 3 more games and 4 or 5 wouldn’t shock me. Unfortunately, I believe we are still just playing for a draft pick. Quote

This team just put up 30 without WR1 and CB1 against the top offense last year. Don't see any reason we can't win out , obstacles happen, injuries happen but I see the most complete team I've seen in the Allen era imo Just curious of the families thoughts of why or why not they are or aren't GO BILLS HC is the weak link. I’ve said it for years. he’s done a great job with this team, but he’s not the guy to take them to the promised land. maybe with another franchise, but not with the Buffalo Bills. Quote

Best offensive coordinator and perhaps our best RB’s. Couple that with a very disciplined JA and perhaps this gives the edge…hard to really say Quote

GASabresIUFan Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Is this the best Josh Allen of the Josh Allen era? Quote

Eastport bills Posted November 18 Posted November 18 When fully healthy, ( Milano, receivers and O-line) it seems like best complimentary roster we’ve had. If that translates to a championship it would mean losing Diggs brought this team together. Quote
colin Posted November 18 Posted November 18 If you add Coleman, kinkaid, brown, smoot, Carter, brown, and Milano to the team that played today you have a problem. If cooper doesn't have a cast he might go off for 150 too. The holes have been pass rush and lb/safety play on d and today those guys showed out. Throw in an all pro, a young stallion at st and a big body vet at de and you are looking at no good matchups. I'm not as sure about the O because of Josh Allen has a couple guys and some blocking he's good for 30 on anybody. Complete that roster and it's a horror film. Quote
appoo Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I’m beginning to question my own ball knowledge. In my mind this is the worst roster since Josh made the leap in 2020. The defense has 2 borderline like bluechippers in Groot and Oliver. The offense has Josh Allen, a great slot in Shakir, and two really good tackles with some good backs…but this team doesn’t have a Stefon Diggs. It doesn’t have 3 stud DBs. It doesn’t have an elite athlete at middle backer. Heck it doesn’t have an established WR like Gabe Davis. It doesn’t have a single first rounder on the oline. But the offense has Josh Allen. Replace him with like Russ Wilson and this team is 5-4 or worse Quote

The D-Line has the players, but is really playing poorly this season outside of Groot and some splash plays from AJ Epenesa. 2022 the team had two very big flaws even if you factor out the injuries. The offense lacked a second consistently good pass catching option besides Diggs and the offensive line was a complete mess. The Bills had Spencer Brown coming off a solid rookie year but having major back surgery made him a suspect player to go into the season without a proven vet option there. The Bills also had a suspect guard combo with Bates and Saffold. Finally there was hope that Gabe Davis in year 3 fresh off that insane KC playoff game would take a step up as a WR opposite Diggs but that didn't happen and the rest of the Bills WR core was mostly role players. I went into 2022 thinking the defense and special teams was stacked while the offense had some issues. The issues manifested on offense while injuries hit the defense hard in season. 1 Quote
Billsatlastin2018 Posted November 18 Posted November 18 (edited) ALLEN is now the best of the Allen era! Edited November 18 by Billsatlastin2018 Quote
Nelius Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Seems to be now. Some of have tried to knock his rushing game this year but the results today kind of change the narrative. He’s right where he usually is statistically now. On pace for more rushing yards than last year currently. And that aspect has been picking up, he may rattle off another 300-5 before the year is over. Really incredible that he’s having his most efficient passing year ever, while still rumbling for his rushing normals, and people act like he’s not the most incredible cyborg in the NFL. Josh is going to set some eye popping records. Quote
Bills!Win! Posted November 18 Posted November 18 I think the difference between this years team and others is we have 5 Solid B- receivers. Quote
