"I'm not at all convinced that everything is going to work out well, but on the other hand, there's nothing wrong in thinking it should." - Michael Collins, Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot

I don't. To quote the architect from the Matrix, "Hope. It is the quintessential human (Bills fan) delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness."

If they do arrest this woman I'll give you 50 to 1 that Democrats immediately start a lie that the administration plans to send her to El Salvador.

We've made it to 33 on this one, and this is only ONE of the WR threads.

Interesting. I think Jesus sees Sanders as false idol and one of the Pharahos wicked henchmen. Probably stays completely clear of the political landscape and sees DC and its occupants generally in a Soddom/Gomorrah vein. While we disagree there, your imaginary dialogue likely played out as you have laid it out above. I can def see that.

How about we just look at the market price of a 200 carry 1,000 yd-ish back - (+ 50 rec for 300 yds) because that is what he has been, and that is the role the Bills have in mind for him. And that is not a $15M role. The useless bit of information about Cook's relative usage on our team is irrelevant. Without Cook someone else would be the second most productive player. And if that player got 200 carries and around 1,000 yards they too would not get $15M, no matter how exciting they look doing it. While you can downplay the 2 v 3 downs, you don't mention Cook not being out there during the crunch drive vs KC. Lets not pretend the coaches didn't want their best personnel out there - and Cook was not on the field. A $15M player should be out there in crunch time.

Cook is worth $15 mill > Bill’s chick. No matter how hot she is, she’s already a PITA.

If Kelly is just willing to handoff to Thurman, which they were daring him to do, our time of possession goes up, we win the Super Bowl and Thurman is the MVP. Period.

Yup, I'm thinking, like some others, Week 1 SNF vs. Ravens.

Totally fair question and good question - If you are going to pick what WR between the 2 years is the most accomplished or best overall player, the only correct answer is Diggs. But these are the considerations that also factor in: This is a 5 vs 5 comparison, not which of the 2 groups had the single most talented player. Talent is only part of the equation, its about how does that fit in within the offense we run. Diggs not only was no where near the same player in Brady's offense he had been during his tenure in Buffalo, but he wasn't even the leading receiver (Shakir was) during that period despite double the targets of anyone else under Brady. Josh I fully believe is better without him than with him and the tension he brings. Was Diggs still a strong WR1 in 2023, yes of course. Was he as good as he had been his first 2 years in Buffalo where he was a top 5 WR in the NFL, not IMO. Was he as good as he was in 2022...maybe, but he didn't look like it the 2nd half of 2023 in Brady's system and had costly drops, including one that could changed the outcome of the KC game on a dime bomb from Allen. And honestly I thought he faded some the 2nd half of 2022 and postseason too under Dorsey. I was a big Diggs guy, my dogs name is Diggs. This isn't to throw shade at him. I was even one of the ones (who was totally wrong) and put his foot in his mouth and thought there was no chance Beane would take the massive cap hit to move him when we did and thought he would instead do it in 2024 if things remained tense with him and Allen/Team. But make no mistake about it, I was also very confident that we got better as a team and offense through addition by subtraction when we moved on from Diggs drama and let Gabe leave. And if you check my 2023 offseason history, you will see that wasn't just hindsight, I was very vocal about that belief. During the season in 2023, I started threads demanding things like calling for Dorsey to get fired, less snaps for Gabe and more for Shakir, etc. In the offseason, I started the Calling it now thread on Shakir the day after Diggs was traded, kept telling everyone Mack Hollins is better than people think and will have a real role in the offense, that the offense would still be top 5 in the NFL, we might see Josh Allens most efficient and best season, and that it would maybe be Allens best shot at MVP when he does given the perceptions heading into the season about the WR room. I said all those things a lot all offseason. So while I know Diggs is the best "individual", I don't think just having him in the WR room makes it the best group for this offense and Allen. Nor do I think the 2023 version of Diggs is talented enough to erase the deficit I think the rest of the 2023 group faces in comparison to the 2025 group. Just my 2 cents

AJ Brown complained about his targets all the way to the Super Bowl. Theres something in the water when it comes to WRs

I agree, but they got 11 pages out of it.

Not defending this because he’s an idiot. Also, Tua doesn’t belong in the top 5. Apparently though he started by saying, “excluding Tua here are my top 5” or something like that. The story has gone viral but evidently it’s not really accurate.

So our chances for going to a SB depend on nursing and hockey?

No reason not to

Diggs wasn't a burner but he was excellent at creating separation and that's why Allen and him had such great chemistry. Josh is a very visual QB and an average NFL starting QB anticipatory thrower. He usually waits until he sees a WR open and then uses his bazooka arm to get it there. It's why having a WR with separation skills is more important to him than someone like Joe Burrow. That was my problem with the Keon Coleman pick and why I was hoping to hear Ladd McConkey was the 33rd pick after day 1 last year..

And everyone would be making fun of you as well.

Thats where I don’t agree. He plays the least risky player, which doesn’t give you the best chance to win, it just lowers the mistakes. When a guy hasn’t been in camp and the other guys are doing well, he won’t displace the worker.

It's never higher than about a 25% chance even for the greatest teams, so I'd give the Bills about a 20% chance. This is why it is foolish to ever expect a superbowl. The odds are far too low to ever expect it. It's something you hope for, not expect.

I mean, we all pay for it one way or another. At least this is more transparent and direct.

Why would I? After years of abuse, why would this year be different? 13 seconds was the year. Window is shut.
