I'm not sure why people don't recall why Kincaid fell out of favor. He was HORRIBLE in the playoffs. Even the one long catch he was credit for in the Denver game was clearly a drop that they got away with.

Did Kincaid go to Josh's wedding ?

It's crazy we had both Darby and Gilmore in their prime, and Rex completely destroyed it

Are there any other caveats you'd like to add? If Diggs is cut, it's because he can't play and they will not cut him until they know that which won't be soon. As I said, it will not happen until he "sees the field" which is just as true now as it was prior to the video being released.

sup amigo. Long time no chat. this next clip is iconic as well,. I saw her play a show wearing this white bell sleeve top below. she is such an Icon xo love her. Good to read u matey. senor Freebo on Bass sometimes. He plays tuba for her too LOL I was in front of he at a show in Mesa AZ amphitheater once. Me and a GF were dancing and flirting with him making eye contact. we were right up front. we made the man BLUSH lmaooooo true story

Darby was more of a non-fit of the scheme. Obviously, in hindsight guys like Gilmore and Woods went on to be big stars for SB teams and clearly not any kind of culture problem. Darby was the same but more of a good starter than a star. Watkins and Dareus were the flakes. Really what McBeane were doing was getting rid of the young, early round talent because those are the players with contract leverage that can undermine a no-name young regime's agenda. They only wanted players that would be beholden to them. That approach works but ideally you don't have to tear it down to that extent to build it back up. KC and Reid have always been able to stay a step or two ahead, despite never drafting as highly since 2013, because Reid didn't ever need to compromise on talent.

What do you suggest rather than just looking at the box score in US Today?

You don't say.

Guessing Diggs didn't make the cut...

It wasn't a print story that I am aware of. It was verbatim from Paul Hamilton. He's repeated it numerous times on-air from his sources within what was PSE. Hamilton is about as reputable as anyone in the Buffalo media. Obviously, the fact that Pegula will let this drought drag on 14 years without ever turning everything over to some proven pro's speaks to his stubbornness. Even Ralph threw up his hands and gave up full control to Tom Donahoe at one point. However, it speaks well of Pegula's character that he promised full control to McBeane and has clearly honored that. That story is equally substantiated. Nobody has ever publicly admitted it but it's understood as fact. But the other story that has been making the rounds since 2017 was that Pegula and Whaley were both all-in on drafting Patrick Mahomes but McDermott wanted to wait until he and Beane had a full season of scouting QB's. So if you were an owner and the situation goes down where the player you wanted to select has personally eliminated your otherwise SB contending over and over........you might be inclined to think you could have done just as well if allowed some input.

I’m struggling finding it now as well which is weird since he does so few interviews. I swear I remember it!

Was Darby not a culture fit? I cant remember anything from then. Or was that a scheme fit thing? The Sammy trade at the time was bigger news to most. Was he traded after only his rookie year here?

Can you post that story? I have been looking for it for ages now.

Well we already knew they were going to be drafting a QB in 2018 well before the Darby/Watkins trades. That's why they handed Mahomes to conference rival KC 4 months earlier. To get another 2018 first rounder. I don't think you and the other BBMB refugees had washed ashore here yet but the general consensus was that the primary "signal" of the Darby/Watkins trades was that they were tanking. It didn't go over well when I explained how getting rid of the core young talent(players with leverage) but keeping all of the old vet talent meant they were going to try to "Jauron ball" their way to the playoffs. You couldn't pay me to re-watch that brutal 2017 offense.

The story that came out a few years back confirmed everything I needed to know about Pegula. Where it was reported that, even with all the winning and success, he regretted signing so much control away to McD and Beane. You’ll never see me advocating for McD to be fired.

I believe all those stats were in 2024

I remember being in Chicago for the year we drafted him. Jim Kelly came out on stage to announce the pick, this was after he beat the cancer he had gone through. Roger Goodell didn't even have to introduce him as they both walked out on the stage, the crowd erupted when they saw Kelly.

Wow

All it took was a new president.

Too bad Curb Your Enthusiasm ended. They could have done a whole episode at the wedding.

Nope Dustin Hopkins too!

Never look at pff regardless if good or bad for the Bills
