PAPER TIGER: Buffalo Bills
I hate being the bearer of bad news, but the current run is over in Western New York. Heading into the Bills' Monday night matchup with the Jets at MetLife Stadium, I'm just not buying what Buffalo's selling.

"Despite the presence of an MVP-caliber quarterback with "take over the game" potential, the championship window has closed on this version of the Bills. Buffalo has been weakened by free-agent departures (SEE: leading tackler Tremaine Edmunds and leading rusher Devin Singletary), coaching attrition (Leslie Frazier stepped away from his role as defensive coordinator in February), philosophical changes (current OC Ken Dorsey vs. old OC Brian Daboll) and potential chemistry issues (hello, Stefon Diggs). All of that, plus the general trend line of this team that finished last season with an enormous thud, does NOT inspire confidence in a Super Bowl run through the minefield that is this season's AFC."

Lets start with Edmunds..he is not a superstar and wasn't worth 18m per season good luck living up to that contract and expectations in Chicago.

Singletary is also not a star player just a serviceable back with heart(I wish him well with the Texans) and we have a better RB room this year.

Frazier was responsible for 13 seconds in KC and Edmunds looked lost in coverage during the OT book closed on those two.

McD was a great DC before he became a great HC so there is no problem there besides that the Bills led the league in point differential last year

Dorsey had huge shoes to fill replacing Dabs and he only led the 2nd best scoring offence in the NFL as a rookie OC hardly falling on your face.

With a year to analyze what worked and what didn't this offence is not going to falter it is going to soar.

Great teams overcome the loss of a few players and coaches and they already proved that last year losing 3 games by 8 points total imagine being 3 field goals from a perfect season and the world throws shade on you.

Not that this team needs Bucky Brooks dissing them but if I were McD this would be a very large poster on the wall
Amen to all of that.

I really liked Edmunds and Singletary and if the money hadn't been an issue I'd have liked to keep Edmunds especially since we do have a question mark at MLB now. But he never showed he was game changer worth the money he got from Chicago...and that showed yesterday when he had 4 tackles (2 for losses) vs. Green Bay. Motor was even less impactful vs. the Ravens. With Cook, Harris and Murray are going to be far more productive and balanced at RB than we've been in the past few seasons, which should take pressure off Josh and the passing game.
