Mr. WEO

no points for acknowledging the obvious...

keep shouting to the rooftops. you're not onto something

what would be the incentive for one owner to allow a handful of owner have the most success (NE, Philly, KC, for example). A SB win brings tons of extra cash to an owner through sales, etc. and of course refs can alter the outcome of a game--name a pro sport where they don't/can't? if they are influenced by outsiders, that's a problem. any claims that they are being told to alter games by "the league" have never made any sense what so ever. people need to create conspiracies to help them deal with a reality that they don't like or accept.

well...who WOULD be aware? The coaches? The owners? and why would you be "open to the idea" this is going on?

Helming the worst Offense in the the NFL. And Kellen Moore? Brian Flores? lol what is this?

oh yeah

They stink every year. Perfectly consistent.

Running Man! sweet

part of it is

1/3 of yhe pro bowl scoring is fan vote numbers. Likely, not as many Bills fans voted for Josh as LC for Mahomes. In the NFC, 15 49ers were the top vote getters at their positions. That’s crazy.

Jags are perennial losers. No worries

there won't be time for acclimation, what with the jet lag as well...

the intense heat may wipe out 48% of that 52%

doomed....

where di he say that Nacua had a shot to be drafted in the 1st round? also, I'm pretty sure Nacua was available in the 5th. Bills went with a guy projected to go in 5th/6th/7th round.

oy when did Diggs last show up on the injury report and when was his last suplex. Also, if it common knowledge that Diggs is playing with a back injury, what is the competitive advantage of McD insisting that he knows of no medical reason for Diggs's dropoff?

As everyone know, "hurt" isn't the same as "injury"--so why try to make such a point? Again, Defenders have needed no such "inside info" to slow down Diggs, so his decline has proven your premise false. Also, "body slamming" a player to "take him out of a game" is an option on any tackle. If it really had that result with any frequency, and for such a low cost (15 yarder), logic dictates that you would see guys taking the penalty on an opposing WR1 more frequently. But you don't. So that's another dumb argument that gets endlessly repeated here.

I will rephrase (see above)--I assume Diggs is as banged up as any player. I have no evidence or reason to believe he is debilitated to the point where he has declined for 3 months. His HC says his decreased snaps are not injury related and, specifically, that there is nothing medically wrong with him. As for his decreased snap counts--this mostly started when Brady took over----and it was explicitly by desing: "Look, I think there's times where we definitely tag him out of plays," Brady said. "I think it was something earlier in the season we talked about to get to where we want to get -- to just not playing (that many snaps)."

every guy is playing hurt. As for the bolded, posters mention this a lot--but it makes little sense. It's up there with "bulletin board materail" and "trap games", "Santa Claus". Stuff fans like to talk about. obviously keeping the opposition "in the dark" about some presumed Diggs injury has has had "no advantage whatsoever" for Diggs or the Bills---he's getting shut down all the same.

what has Samuel's "stand ou" trait brought any team so far? why would you pay for that? his 4.31 was like 8 years ago. He's a downgrade at WR2 (like all the bums I mentioned that have taken a check from McBeane and are long gone). you have to do better than that... he's not injured. I don't know even what type of injury you are imagining--something that had no obvious antecedent, caused no missed and has been kept off the weekly injury report for 3 months straight? why would anyone believe that? clearly the lack of a mentioned injury has NOT stopped every D he has faced from stuffing Diggs, so your argument also makes no sense. They are all already "tipped" on Diggs.

Davis at 4 seasons has only 600 fewer yards, more TDs than Samuel at 7. He'[s had one career season over 700 yards. Davis has had 2 in 4. The guy isn't in any way an upgrade over Davis. He's not even an upgrade over Shakir. This would be the typical dumb Bills WR off-season WR move: nearly dead Beasley/John Brown, Crowder, Sanders, Andre Roberts, Duke Williams, Kelvin Benjamin.. Just an endless stream of bums passing though. no thanks I know it's popular around here to invent or postulate injuries for when players start to hit the tank, but you're making that up. McD denied this was the case just yesterday when directly asked. Davis and Diggs can be evaluated and discussed separately---and Diggs performance since mid-October is what it is, it can't be "clouded" by thoughts about the performance of another receiver. It's a huge issue that everyone is talking about.

I don't give Jets fans that much credit.

Rodgers whole "I'll be back to play this year" lie was such an unforced error. I'm assuming Jets FO made him say that when they already knew it wasn't true? It was always completely unbelievable so I'm not sure why they went through with that weird charade. Maybe to placate a hopeless fanbase?

more than one poster here believes this though lol

what injury? Diggs was a 5 star recruit who, after a somewhat underwhelming college career, made an All Rookie team with the Vikings. The guy who replaced him has been the best WR in the league since day 1. Look at the top 5 WR this year: Hill, Lamb, AJ Brown, Nacua, St. Brown---all high were impact immediately. Same for the next 5 (Aiyuk, Moore, Cooper, Allen, Evans. Why can't that happen in Buffalo? Problem is that Beane and McD have famously struggled to recognize the need for, or draft, really good WRs. every young TE wants to "put up" GOAT numbers, lol. it's pretty unlikely. this Offense won't be running through Kincaid. as WR1?
