Allen is the guy, there is no question about it.

Sure
Just a matter of how good he will end up being

To be fair, Larsson/Erod/Thompson actually generate shots and could threaten to score once and a while.

I'd rather bring up CJ Smith and waive Elie or sit someone but I don't think that's happening yet

- sbroads24


Shot generation hasn’t been leading to goals for our lower lines though
Idk that we can count on it happening at this point?

I like Foster & Zay as part of our top4 WRs

Don’t see us drafting a WR in the 1st unless we trade down

Not much i like in the UFA department
Maybe Golden Tate?
Maybe John Brown?

Other than that,
we’re gonna have to look to make a trade i think

- jdfitz77

Too early to say. If we were picking top 3 I'd agree but we will know more after combine.

I wouldn't expect Erod to continue to shoot 2% 5 on 5 and Thompson will eventually have a few go in as he's getting 2-3 shots a game.

I wouldn't put all of 23/53/9 on different lines. With how great Eichel has been they really only need another line to chip in here and there and to have Larsson continue to play the D role

Power play needs to figure it out as well.

For as bad as they look at times they are 2% away from being in the top half of the league, which is like a couple goal difference right now

Were actually 16th in PP goals scored.

The thing is when we don’t score there is a better chance of us getting scored on. Even sustaining zone time and putting shots on net could help change momentum in a game. When the PP can’t even get in the zone it’s deflating.

Yeah it's not a great PP by any stretch, just isn't as bad as it's made out to be.

Rex Ryan is in play for the @MiamiDolphins if Adam Gase gets fired.

It really all depends on whether or not Allen works out

Most NFL teams go as far as their QB takes them

He definitely looked better overall after the injury
Long way to go though
So hopefully he takes another step forward this offseason

- jdfitz77



generated 2 rushing TD's threw for 3td's had 95 yards rushing and accounted for 85% of the offense. 4 for 4 in the red zone.... but yeah He has a long way to go.... he missed 9 passes today.... 9 and at least 3 of those were throw aways... It wouldn't kill you to just enjoy the game he had...

@JoeBuscaglia
Upon further review, regardless of results with the 4pm games, the #Bills are locked into the 9th overall selection even in a tie scenario with Denver at 6-10 and in SOS. The #Bills have the worse strength of victory, which gives them the better pick and 9th overall.

I do too, but I must not have checked the standings at all over Christmas. The wildcard race is tighter than I thought.
