HOMER!!!!! (I've been told that having a positive opinion of Josh Allen as a person makes me a jock-sniffing homer).
no that would have been Edmunds or Poyer in the past. McD currently
Josh is appropriate for all adulation...

It would be nice if Beane was competing on the field of play. I'm sick about this trade, but I understand. I just hope Beane has a plan to replace Diggs production
49 YPG over the final 13 games (including playoffs) shouldn't be hard to replace...

Its a quick watch. < 2 mins.
Basically said it is a loss for the Bills but not a huge one given he faded away for 2 seasons in a row. Allen always having to answer "are you good with Stefon?" etc
This is a great point. It became excruciating for the ultimate good guy, Allen, having to explain Digg's behavior.

You sound like the sort of Sabres fan who actually thought trading Eichel and Reinhart was a good idea, or that they were somehow part of any problem with the team.
A pox on your family for a thousand generations!
With or without Eichel, the Sabres stunk/stink on ice.

I don't think the Texans took on $19M of which $18.5 is fully guaranteed because "every other GM" thought he was a cancer
On the other hand, a guy who is turning 31 and is due $19M ($18.5M guaranteed) this season and $18M and $19M the next two seasons, has limited trade value.
I was referring to his trade value, which was minuscule, it turns out.
Most who might be looking for a top WR FA figured he was expensive/cancer/washed up/not worth a high pick this year

You don't think I understand that figure of speech, sour grapes? Well, you're wrong about that. That's a stone fact.
It's a stone fact that defenders don't always tell the truth about how they covered a guy.
Diggs had safeties coming over the top of him all year long, even if it wasn't man to man. And why not? He was by far our best WR.
In this year's playoff game against the Chiefs, it's a fact that on the play with 5:47 in the 4th quarter he had two guys within a step or to of him and Josh threw it to him anyway, that on the 4th down completion to Shakir on the left at 4:45, Diggs is the only guy on the right side or going there and when Shakir cuts back the guy who ran with him is staring right at Diggs, the only guy on that side and he doesn't notice Shakir cut back until way too late. Man-to-man coverage and Diggs ends up with two guys around him, Shakir none.
It's a fact that on the next pass play, at 3:19 and 3rd and 4 Diggs is alone on the right side, tight to the line and they've got trips on the left. The safety on the left comes down to cover one of the trips, leaving one safety deep. Diggs collects his CB, an LB who heads towards him despite him being the only guy on that side, and the deep safety stays in the middle, leaving a ton of room for Sherfield to convert. Here:
And those four around him don't include the safety still on Diggs' side behind all these guys.
I mean, I guess the Chiefs don't consider this double teaming, since they didn't do that? Again, Diggs was the only receiver on that side.
I went to watch the crucial drive at the end, the one that ended with the missed field goal. I watched specifically the first few plays and described above. The coverage was absolutely focused on Diggs.
That's a fact.
Diggs running into coverage isn't always double teaming....

Totally unfair.
We still don't know what caused that freefall. Was it that with the playbook from an old OC and the playcalling of a new OC they couldn't find a good way to use him? Nobody can say for sure, but that is very likely a large part of the problem, if not most of it.
You can pretend that it was all on Diggs. But there's no reason to think that's right. Could easily have been on others to a large extent. Now we'll never know. Pretending we do know, and putting it all on Diggs, is just sour grapes.And it's a stone fact that he was drawing the vast bulk of the coverage and making things much easier for the other WRs.
Certain kinds of WRs tend to start going downhill early. Diggs' type, the exceptional route-runners not dependent of top end speed, tend to last longer. Every reason to think he'll still be very very productive for several more years. Unfortunately.
We are going to pay him in the high $20M range to watch him on TV catching passes in Texas. This was a horrendous time to let him go.
But it doesn't seem like we had any better choices, with how relations with him were proceeding.
I don't think you understand that figure of speech..
anyway--it certainly was not the new OC that put a fork in Diggs--the player was taking himself out when he was displeased (with Josh Allen of all people!!). What other, "to a large extent" are responsible for his decline? They should be easy for you to name since you seem convinced.
the bulk of coverage? both in week 14 and the playoffs v. KC, he whined about them doubling as an excuse for his crappy performance. yet after each game, the Chiefs D were quick to comment that they weren't even doubling him up.
give us your "stone facts"

It's really not.
It'll likely look better as we move towards the season.
But this was a huge hit, particularly for this year's team and future cap status.
And to remind you, Diggs was 6th in the league in receptions, 13th in yards, 10th in first downs and tied for 7th in TDs last year. It's not fair to only look at his worst section of the season and pretend they sum up his year. Not even close. That production absolutely can NOT "be replaced quite easily."
It was the majority of his season. totally fair. he was in free fall---time to cut him loose

Diggs was in no way shape or form "the heart and soul of the team." Your saying he was, IMHO, calls your judgment into question.
Or if he was, that helps explain why they have fallen short.
he was a cancer, it turns out--not heart and soul.
his (essentially) zero trade value confirms what every other GM felt about this guy. McBeane just wanted to get rid of him

Thanks for the correction. Felony, not a misdemeanor.
I stand by the rest of my post.little will come of this legally?

but, but, but...."he's not going anywhere"!!
Clearly McBeane had enough of this guy dogging it down the stretch.
He will make a decent WR2/3 in Houston

I think two things can simultaneously be true:
On the one hand: Rice was almost certainly driving one of the cars. He was involved in or caused an accident causing bodily harm to another person and then fled the scene, which is a misdemeanor potentially punishable by jail time.
On the other hand: He has good legal representation, money, is a star athlete, and some of the specific fine points of the incident may be difficult to definitively prove. And thus, he may get off with a fairly light punishment.
I simultaneously think that Rice is fully guilty AND that very little will come of it either legally or in terms of league punishment. Somewhere from 2 to 6 games suspension is what I expect."Leaving the scene of an accident involving death or serious injury is a third-degree felony, punishable by 2 to 10 years in a state prison. If the injury is not serious, it is a felony punishable by up to one year in a county jail or up to five years in a state prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000."

He was always unhinged, even as a collegiate player. There’s reports of him farting in a doctor’s face - multiple times - and laughing about it. He was also kicked out of a college. Guy has always been a head case, it’s who he is, but the CTE stuff has really turned it up a level.

So much to unpack:
fake allegations years old filed away until they needed to weaponize them
burner phones to communicate with GM suspended for "extreme DUI"
Larry Fitzgerald and unsolicited letters

hyperbole is fun.
but seriously, it never ceases to amaze me browsing social media and seeing the numerous crimes blatantly posted by the individuals committing them. There is an entire IG profile for a man who drives a supposedly stolen modded up Z06 wrecklessly, outrunning cops, etc.

1 or 2 games depending what the police cook up.
i don't care that he is an nfl player. the social media trendy crap of racing cars on the highway needs to be curbstomped.
however, he's not one of us so he will get favorable treatment.
cops don't charge.
the DA won't have to "cook up" much---just go to the tape....

The legal counsel Rice has returned states that he is currently "cooperating with authorities".
That doesn't sound as though he has physically "turned himself in", per se, but he's not on the run or anything. The language of the counsel's statement was certainly vague.
Rice so far seems to be handling this incident verrrry carefully in its aftermath. Smart move.
Leaving the scene of an accident (on camera!) where one victim of his driving decisions was sent by ambulance to the hospital isn't verrrrry careful aftermath handling...

Wouldn't be the first College Basketball star to transition to the NFL...
Usually they end up at TE tho like Antonio Gates or Jimmy Graham or Tony Gonzalez...not sure I've ever heard of one becoming a left tackle before...
6'9" 275 lbs currently and his body is huge and could easily support 320+ lbs with likely little loss of mobility...
He has gotten the attention of NFL scouts, people in college personnel roles and GMs big time apparently with his performance at the tournament...dude looks like a ballerina in the low post.
26 minutes ago, Cray51 said:IF he has interest, he would need to bulk up another 40-50 pounds, and show he has upper body strength to match his light feet.
As you mentioned, that's at least 2 years before you even have a bottom of the roster guy. Another 1-2 for any chance at playing time
there is no chance he is under 300 lbs right now. Zero.
