Serious question, are the Bills officially in a rebuild? I'm not sure I see how this roster contends with Miami or the Jets with Rodgers back now. Going to be a dog fight for the division, if we're lucky IMO.

a healthy miller and milano does wonders for the bills d esp if they get anything out of elam

on offense they need a rb and a number 1 wr now and knox to stay healthy

dont expect us to outscore teams 45-42 as of now though

- homiedclown


Miller isn't just shot?

Milano agreed. But still need a corner, a linebacker and help on both lines, on top of the RB and WR1. That's a lot to do in one offseason isn't it? This reminds me of when Beane traded Darius to cut future cap expenditures. I still wonder if this is another short term rebuild.

Can he punt a football? He may be more impactful on the Bills if so.

He might be, but "The Last Dance" documentary actually changed my view on this. The year Jordan came back and got eliminated by the Knicks, he told his personal trainer he wanted to start working out the next day for the entire summer because he wasn't in basketball shape that year. Side note, that whole "Space Jam" gym setup was hysterical. If a guy like Jordan, whose only injury was "playing baseball", needed a whole summer to get back to where he needed to be, how much more does any athlete coming off a torn ACL or Achilles? We saw the same with Jack Eichel in Vegas. The difference was between last season and the season before night and day because he had a whole offseason healthy.

They haven't really been doing that for two years now.

If the Bills trade multiple draft picks to move up high enough to land one of the top WRs, are we happy with that move?

I'm at the point where they need to hit a homerun at receiver in the draft, not just take a big swing. Whether they trade up, let a guy fall to them, or even pick a guy in the 2nd, the guy had better end up being a stud.

The average Bills fan is mad right now

The average dolphins fan is happy


Real Bills fans know beane has a plan and replacement in mind.

That Diggs trade just feels wrong. I understand he's 31yo but if that's all you could get, from a contender, you just don't trade him IMO.
- QuinnFan


Beane has been great as the Bills Gm. Every move he’s made has been well calculated.

He knows what he got and what he’s doing

I’m not worried.

Excellent WR class

Any contract can be traded.

Take a (frank)ing note Kev.

- TheSabresTaco

You stole my response. Clearly when the Bills need to shake things up it’s ok. The 31mil they’ll eat just on Diggs is substantially more than a Skinner buyout, top NHL guy, starting goalie.
He’s made a serious statement here on being invested in one team over the other

I will have to check that out. I may be really undervaluing healing time there.

All I know is that Jack Quinn tore his achilles and he's never stopped being an absolute beast so.....

Yes, we do need a Torts to come in an bench guys who don’t want to work. That’s how you create a system, buy in

In Beane we trust, but let's not pretend every move has been good. This is the same guy that brought in Kelvin Benjamin to be Allen's WR1...

Just my opinion but losing last year has closed our window or it's close to being closed. We had to many chances and they blew it.

The Sabres are so talented and close....all they need is a hall of fame coach to come in build a winning system for them to get over the hump....thats all.

For this upcoming season it looks like they'll take a step backwards to some degree. The degree depends on additional moves made including the draft, as well as how effective a couple returning players can be.

That however changes for the 2025 season... And Allen will still be in his prime.

Talent, just through more talent at it, if that doesn't work throw more talent at it.
It hasn't worked yet, but my god it has to, someone said it on the Internet.
