For me, I wouldn’t rewrite history as he was a top 5 WR when he came here, and eventually he aged and his drama didn’t help. He’s on the tail end of his career so I hope he can make some plays for NE, as I don’t hate the guy. As an aside, a couple of years ago he was incredibly nice to my sister who was doing her banking in Hamburg. Diggs was in the middle of a commercial, but stopped and spoke to her for several minutes. He didn’t have to be nice, but was just kind to her.

To be fair he was having a great year last year before injury but he was arguably WR3 on that team, definitely WR2 behind Nico Mounds would be an All pro every year with 17 Nico Collins actually reminds me of him and he's top 5 imo with a lesser QB

3) The tape speaks for itself on the tackle attempt downfield

I don't think the scheme needs a major overhaul. I am interested to look at how the Bills approach 3rd down. The Frazier defense was a very good 3rd down defense and for this scheme - that does not mind giving up yards in return for keeping control of points and making teams go the distance - you have to be good at both getting takeaways AND winning 3rd down and since Frazier left we have gradually got worse on 3rd down. In fairness that also coincided with the drop off in health and reliability of Hyde and Poyer and no less than Bill Belichick used to say were the absolute best in the league at disguising coverages when those two played together. That is big on 3rd down because the QB takes the snap thinking you are in one defense and then by the time the ball hits his hands you are in something else. I think it is the combination of the coordinator changes and the weakness of our safety play that is the heart of the problem more than the fundamentals of the scheme. They HAVE to be better this year.

I almost thought that you were listing former and current Bills players who may be doing their own shows..

What did he average in the elimination games, which is what I actually referenced? And how many TDs?

There are many great drummers. Peart, Bonham, Moon, Stewart Copeland, Buddy Rich…even Ringo…and not necessarily in that order. My top guy? Peart. Technically sound, intricate, dedication. Great lyricist. Was perfect for Rush and loved watching him! As for the remaining guys, all great drummers who were perfect for their respective bands. Again, even Ringo who I’ve been learning to really like. I just feel Neal was a step above. A sleeper that I love watching from back in the day is Joe Morello who played with Brubeck.

My thought exactly. Beside, nothing else can excuse the defensive play calling.

Than there was the 14 year drought in the 70s. Lots of 2-14 seasons

It is regarded as true that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth

😂

No. The drought era Bills rarely got blown out. The only one I can remember is one year we were 4-3 or something and thought we might have a chance to be decent. Then we played the Cheats on MNF and got totally trounced.

So much FASCISM!! OH NO!!! How we all yearn for a uniting force!

For most of the drought Bills were never as bad as Sunday night. We had a lot of 7-9 teams that kept us in QB purgatory

This all sounds great and I hope it works. Let me know when the ink is dry

i can put him in the keenan allen/michael thomas group sure and ive been pretty consistent on him throughout. great player for the bills. absolutely oozed insincerity. liked having him and loved seeing him go

Definitely the greatest 4 year stretch of production, but Moulds was the greatest. Imagine having a player like that during Allen’s years. He definitely would’nt be getting manhandled by smaller DBs in the postseason the way Diggs did year in, year out.

I think the stretch of his first 3ish years in Buffalo, he was elite. unlike the other dudes you list, his peak was relatively short. So maybe over the breadth of his career, he’s no DHop or Davante or Julio. He’s probably closer in that Keenan Allen tier below those dudes. But I think it’s wrong to say he wasn’t elite when he was playing at an elite level. 2020 Diggs was on that level. That’s jmo.

This.

Diggs averaged 66 YPG in the playoffs in Buffalo. He also maybe had the best WR play of the decade in the playoffs in Minnesota.

Some teams have performed that badly in regular season games. It sucks to watch, but that is football. Sometimes the games suck. That's just baked into the nature of the game. Fans aren't entitled to a high quality performance by their team. The NFL itself does everything it can to provide an exciting product, but that doesn't always happen, especially in preseason.

i think the question was actually how good was he a lot of people saying elite and im just not there. he was really good borderline great but not elite. hopkins was elite. julio jones was elite. tyreek hill was elite. mike evans was eliteish. antonio brown was elite. these are his contemporaries and i don't really put diggs into their category. he just wasn't the complete package- lacked ideal size and speed. great route tree, good hands, not really a threat w the ball in his hands...he just didn't have enough tools for me to say he was the best of the best.

Wilkerson has won a PS job I think. He will be their next Shavers esque project.

It's not true. I haven't heard McDs presser, so not sure if he said it but if he did he might well have meant our 2s "on the night". But even our starting lineup had guys like Gouriage, Feeney and Codrington out there who are not even in our twos. They are threes. And they started the game for us.
