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.

Rightly or wrongly, anyone who thinks McDermott is anywhere near the hot seat is either: - Completely delusional in understanding his job safety with the Bills as a coach or - Has it in for McDermott and wishes for him to be replaced. He’s not going anywhere, Pegula loves the relationship with McD, he trusts him and is very comfortable working with him, not to mention that McD has taken the Bills to the playoffs 5 out of 6 years and has won the division 4 straight years.

We also traded away Wyatt Teller

It was bad, 38 mph sustained winds with gusts around 60 mph. Josh was able to throw 10 - 15 yarders effectively, in fact we didn't begin throwing the ball until the 2nd half when we came to a realization that he could make the throws. I think the offensive game plan will consist of tons of running with some play action and I believe the play action could be very effective.

For me, that’s the key to the game. The mentality has got to be one of toughness and nastiness on both sides of the ball. Pound the rock, and be highly efficient in the play action pass game. Josh can throw 20 yarders effectively in 20-30 mph winds, Rudolph cannot and that is one of the advantages. The other advantage is Allen’s ability to run it very effectively. They should look for him to run it 10-15 this game. At the end of the day the game will be won in the trenches and Allen’s unique abilities.

This Bills team is built better for bad weather games than in any time in the past that I can remember. The defensive line is stout, I imagine Linval will be called up to beef up the Defensive line, the Bills will look to do a lot of running and play action. 23-13 Bills

That was just the 1st quarter. The interior O-line was much better in pass protection after that initial let down.

Lenny has fresh legs, is a power back, can block, really good pass catcher and is a known player to produce during the playoffs. We should totally make the switch.

I had suspected that Diggs has been playing through an injury, for me this confirms it. The week before he showed up on the injury report with a back injury he played 98% of the snaps and the week of the injury he played below 50% of the snaps. He has progressively increased his snap count and I know this is an unpopular take, I thought he was getting a little more separation this last game. Barring no setbacks he probably will get around 75% of the snaps this coming game and if the Bills win should be back to close to normal in about 3 weeks. I do think he will play his best game since the injury against the Dolphins.

Just reading his body language and what he is saying, I think he believes he will be playing in very short order at the level he was playing before his injury. He sounds very confident.

Ja'Marr definitely is cocky af. We'll see how motivated it will get those two good corners they got out there.

It truly is odd. He is playing less snaps and again this is anecdotal but he appears to often waive himself off the field. He doesn't seem to get much separation on the balls thrown his way and he isn't being targeted as much. It doesn't make sense that all of a sudden you'd hit a wall. I think it's some sort of lingering injury that hasn't been reported, we've heard of such injuries with Gabe, Beasley and even Elam that weren't prominently mentioned to come find out much later on that they were playing through some sort of injury. If the Diggs we all have seen over the past few years doesn't come back for these last two games and playoffs then I don't see how we can make it that deep into the playoffs.

Those questions were terrible, almost in a tone as if they are writing off his season as a growing pains sort of year. Play has dropped off some over past few weeks but overall I’m encouraged to what he is going to bring and I think he has a critical role to play if the Bills advance deep into the playoffs.
