From a situational football standpoint it was the wrong call. Too much time on the clock and a harder throw to complete (based on yards and conditions). Love JA to death but he can get too confident sometimes. This is one of them.
keep in mind the d was shown to be extremely vulnerable so Mahomes had enough time left to score.
with all of that said it a point of conjecture. It does not
matter now.

Knocks on him are that he is easy to jam and lacks frame. Bills need someone who can get contested balls with a bigger body.

For those so high on RD 1 WR:
Keep this in mind - 19 of the 77 wide receivers taken in the first round this century have or had fewer than 100 career receptions in the NFL.
They tend to be fools gold.

If you watch the sequence on the second play broken down it was no wonder Diggs was not getting open. None of us know where he was supposed to be and what route he was running but the Bills had a terrible route design. It’s almost as if the Bills get in their own way.
If Brady does become OC these issues have to be cleaned up.

Here is my plan:
Keep Diggs - I think he was battling injury. He is still a viable force and a mentor for a draftee
Draft one in Rd 1
Shakir as #3
Round off with a second tier FA
Look at progress of Shorter and Shavers
Another lower (Rd 5+ pick)
We cannot just depend on the draft. We need at least one FA, maybe 2 to round off the roster
I am beginning to believe that Diggs may be a one trick pony who is a bit played out. Various corners have been highly effective in shutting him down. There remains a question as to whether scheme is an issue in his decline. Whatever the reason, his drop in production has been alarming and problematic.

This is good because it is likely to hurt both teams.

Sorry, guys. It was my fault. Two major errors.
first, I decided to wear my Bruce Smith jersey during the game. The logic was sound, as I was trying to channel the spirit of the 1993 Bills team that beat KC at home during the AFCCG. The problem is that I had not tested out wearing it, and it obviously resulted in the classic reverse jinx.
Second, my one son and I decided not to watch any PAT or FG attempts during the game. We left the room, as my other son reported the result after the fact. Bass must have obviously felt that lack of faith, which caused him to miss his FG.
I am very sorry. I will try better.
you make us sick. 🤢 we will continue to crucify you here for years to come. At least until you switch to another fan forum and you will suddenly become the best poster here ever.

Hard to say what this offseason will bring. The Bills will need to retool their roster as an outcome of cap and normal management. They have a very good core including JA so they will be competitive.

% OF WR HIT BENCHMARKS AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR CAREERS (starts with 2002 draft)
Draft Range No 1,000-yd seasons one 1,000-yd season 2+ 1,000-yd seasons 3+ 1,000-yd seasons 8-TD season 16-TD season
1st rd pick 51% 19% 30% 23% 52% 16%
Top-10 pick 50% 18% 32% 29% 57% 18%
So, only 49% of first-round wide receivers have had a 1,000-yd season. On top of that, only 30% have had 2 or more. It’s not exactly like I qualify a two-time thousand-yarder as a superstar. That’s a pretty low bar for what is supposed to be elite talent. There are just so many misses that it’s hard to consider anything here as set in stone. Here’s another way to put it: there have been 15 drafts since 2000 with multiple wide receivers taken in the first round. Only twice have all the first-round receivers hit 1,000 yards at some point in their career. In twelve of those years, multiple receivers failed that test.
For some set of reasons it is hard to translate college success to NFL success at the WR position. If in round one only 30% have two + 1,000 yard seasons it does not look like a good gamble.

Can you back this up with data? My hypothesis is that early round receivers are producing more and are doing it more quickly than in years past.% OF WR HIT BENCHMARKS AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR CAREERS

For everyone wanting a WR - statistics say round # 1 picks are a coin flip relative to productivity in year #1.

Look for Josh to get into rhythm the next time they have the ball. He was a little hyped up.

Defer with the hopes of double dip TD’s at the end of the 1st half and start of the 2nd.

Loss of Bernard sucks but of you had to get only one of the two for the Chiefs game, Johnson probably the better one to have.

Heartbreaking that we will not see Kim all nervous in the owners box today. Thank you to the Pegula family for keeping the Bills where they belong. It’s truly a gift to WNY and Southern Ontario.

How much of the issue is scheme. I agree with some of the earlier posts that suggest age may be a factor for Diggs. However, they are paying him like a #1.
I think the Bills lack a big body possession receiver to complement Diggs.
