All this bed wetting from some of our fans. You whine as if we are miles away when in fact both our last two losses against KC the game could have gone either way. The Bills are on the cusp of getting over the hump. Also, the main core players will still be here for the Bills next year, we have 3 new players on offense who broke out, Shakir/Cook/Kincaid. That should give fans a lot of hope, get another playmaker through the draft and a couple other solid picks on defense and this team will be ready to take the #1 spot barring significant injuries.

The Bills are right there. No need to overanalyze, the Bills last two losses to the chiefs were coin flip games, could have gone either way. Just keep surrounding Josh with talent and the Bills will eventually beat them and be on par with them.

I think he has shown he can be a highly effective back 15-20 touches a game and the other backs should get around 8-12 touches. obviously the concentration drops were killers and he will have to get that cleaned up. I also think he hit a wall the last 4-5 games. I think his body wore down as he never had that many touches since he was probably in high school.

Combines are going to be absolutely huge for him. If he somehow manages to run in the 4.4's he will be a first rounder.

He’s so smooth

Of course I’m not nearly as privy as the scouts to who can do what, but based off what I’ve seen, I don’t know if I’m sold on Legette. His size and speed is incredibly attractive, but his route running is meh, he has struggled to separate in the senior bowl and has a very short track record of good production. At this stage you would be largely drafting him on potential. And aside from Franklin who may not be there when we draft, I don’t see any other explosive possibilities worth the 28 pick aside from Worthy. However I am beginning to really like McConkey, dude played for a top team, has several years of good production and is a tremendous route running technician who is really twitchy who can separate. I just get the feeling he is going to end up being a #1. He reminds me a little bit of Diggs. I just don’t want to miss and I think McConkey has one of the highest floors in the draft at the WR position.

I’ve been thinking this quite a bit lately: What happens if there is a prospect available who is a great route runner, who is pretty twitchy, decent speed that can separate that is rated higher than the top explosive down the field prospect? I think you go with the higher rated prospect than the ideal explosive player.

I think he knows he didn’t play well at the end and that the Bills were still winning and that was his self-defense mechanism talking there, casting doubts whether or not the Bills would retain him. He will very likely still be a Bill through 2024.

Joe Brady will get to have the entire off season to design plays for this offense, this past season he didn’t have “his” plays for this offense to execute under his vision and they still executed pretty well. Joe will need to figure out a way to get Diggs in positions to win. Diggs will go into the season as WR #1. Diggs will need to perform like a #1 WR this next season specially when it matters or he will most likely be cut before the 2025 season.

Preferably, I would rather have the Bills draft a blue chip WR prospect who can blow coverages off the top. Tremendous speed with track record of production. Such as a Franklin, Worthy and possibly Legette. Legette worries me a bit because he is unrefined and has only one season of good production but that size/speed/build combo is appealing. I would also like to see the Bills use another early to mid rounder on a WR who is a twitchy, polished route running technician who can separate and this draft seems primed to have a number of those sort of potential prospects. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a number of day 2 and 3 picks who go on to be very good receivers in this league. We just have to hit on those picks.

Is there anyone seriously criticizing Joe Brady's gameplan and how Allen was executing it. It was nearly flawless, there may have been a couple run calls that I would have dialed something in differently in the 4th quarter and in hindsight maybe Josh should have passed the ball to a crossing Diggs but it's less than a handful of plays and even so, Josh was looking to see if that play would develop to Shakir and it did and unfortunately Jones got just enough of Allen to not be able to throw that ball accurately to Shakir. Yes, you could argue that the situational awareness for Allen should have been to throw the immediate open guy in Diggs to run down the clock but he was looking to take the lead. Brady and Allen both were an A + and neither were the problem.

If I were to have a hot take takeaway from this last game its that we need guys who can be explosive down the field threats. Those 3 dropped passes were killers and it was clear that the strategy for that game was first look to see if something he liked visually was there for the down the field and if it wasn't he dumped it off. I thought it was a great gameplan and execution and for that matter discipline from Josh Allen. Unfortunately our WR's failed us with those 3 drops.

A few points: - Yes, he should have addressed the media, it's what leaders do. Fans do matter and as a leader you have to face the music for these press conferences. - Diggs is a leader in the locker room, he works as hard as anyone and he cares deeply about winning. Let's just stop pretending that he is apathetic. - Something happened to Diggs this year and I still believe that he was playing through some sort of nagging injury. I find it hard to believe that someone plays great all their lives and from one day to the next they become a very middling receiver. Something happened. - Diggs was not the player we needed this last half of the season and for that matter during this game. He made a huge mistake with the drop and it certainly was a contributing factor to losing the game. We needed a good version of Diggs and we didn't get it. - I'm concerned with Diggs play moving forward, I do think he will improve from what we saw over the past 3 months next year, but I'm concerned until he begins showing that he is still "him". - At the very worst, you still keep Diggs and don't even consider trading him (unless you get a too good to pass up trade offer) I wouldn't actively seek for it. It's imperative that the Bills draft from my perspective at least 2 WR's with the first four picks. Look at Green Bay, they drafted all these young WR's over the past 2 years and they are beginning to show out. It's time we do the same and find our #1 and future #2 WR. Diggs should be one of the top 2 WR's next year with a draft pick being the other.

Winner of the worst post of the day and there have been many

Who stays and who goes Who stays: Offense: OL David Edwards Defense: Daquan Jones Micah Hyde or Taylor Rapp Epenesa Dodsen Shaq Lawson Dane Jackson everyone else from the list goes. Tradavious White - Roster cut Replace most of the depth with draft picks.

Almost as good as we could have hoped. Dodsen, Taron and Douglas all playing

What did he say?

I don’t believe he had a concussion. I believe it was precautionary.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us do the opposite. I expect 4 man rushes to be the majority of the defensive snaps but I think McD will run more 3 man rushes than blitz packages. Thats what Cincinnati did in the 2nd half against them when they came back and won the AFC championship game 2 years back

Yes but there isn’t a huge drop off with Jackson. We are just fine with him, Douglas and Taron.

Just a few days ago I would have thought that Bernard would have been the last one to return out of that group, the fact that he may be available for this week is crazy. I view that the distinct possibility of Taron, Douglas, Dodsen and Bernard playing this weekend as very encouraging news in the injury front. If they all return we are very near full strength on the defensive front.

Once you see it, you see it.

Yep

Yeah, what will matter to anyone is when it counts we beat them when it matters, specially when it counts.

I certainly wouldn’t say that Elam had proven himself but he has shown the ability to make big plays in big games and that is something to take into consideration.
