    Compare Keon Coleman to Tee Higgins and feel better. Higgins had a slightly faster 40 (4.59 to 4.61) but Coleman had a superior 10 yard split (1.54 vs 1.66).

     

    Colemans 1.54 10 yard split was actually in the 68th percentile among all the WRs in the draft. 
     

    We have multiple burners on this roster, but we have lacked the big, physical WR with some athletic ability for years. 

    I thought we needed one last year for sure.  

  2. Ranked no. 10 WR by CBS Sports.  ABC said he is  a great fit for the Bills.  Seems like he has good hand eye and ball sense.  Satisfied but not thrilled, let's see what he can do.

    Diggs was voted a team captain.. never said one bad thing about the City of Buffalo or the organization

     

    Came to practice every day and played his butt off for 4 years

     

    The media drummed up his diva status and helped drive him out of town... There's been nothing but smear pieces about him for the last 2 years

     

    The national media and pundits drove him out of Buffalo by highlighting this narrative day in and day out for 2 years

     

    He certainly never went to the podium and said I want to leave or anything bad about Buffalo.. never not once 

     

    What he was was hyper competitive

    The Bills organization would allow NOTHING to drive him out of town other than his declining value and production as a player.

    Lost in the Diggs news of this week is how wrong the Buffalo media have been about Diggs over the past year:

     

    - WGR hosts routinely dismissed callers who raised Diggs' behavior as an issue

    - Team beat reporters took pride in pushing back on the national narrative that Diggs was an issue and could be traded.  They would boast about how they're local, on the ground and more tuned into the team.  They'd highlight the cap hit and claim that anyone from the national media who suggested a Diggs trade didn't understand the cap implications.  They loved going on national shows to tell everyone how much they know about the team and how the national narrative about a Diggs issue was wrong and potential trade wasn't happening.  Matt Bove even tweeted that Diggs wasn't getting traded literally less than 10 minutes before the trade was reported

    - Tim Graham (who I previously thought was one of the few good ones) is now reporting how Allen snapped at Diggs after the Week 1 loss to the Jets.  It's such a disservice and somewhat disingenuous to withhold information like this until he's gone.  It highlights how many of these folks care far more about maintaining relationships/access to the players than holistically reporting what's going on with the team - especially a week 1 incident involving a player who was the talk of the offseason

     

    It's unfortunate we don't have media members covering the team who we can trust.  I can only wonder what will continue to come out about the Diggs situation, or what would come out about McDermott re: 13 seconds if he gets fired. 

    Dude the local media has to work with this team day in and day out.  What good would it do to comment on speculative gossip and break their trust level with the players?  That would be stupidity plain and simple.  I personally am glad the local media have maintained a level of civility and respect them for it. Talk all day long about the quality of play but keep the gossip out of it.

    I'm 65 and wanted his arse canned after 13 seconds of pure coaching idiocy. But clearly the majority of "partcipation trophy" fans of McD are content to win some reg. season games for the sheer entertainment.  Go figure?....watching this team fail every year in the playoffs hardly screams entertainment. But if you set the bar low you'll never be disappointed. 

    I hear you and I would say not so much lowering expectations but realizing they are "this close" to breaking through despite the mistakes.  KC seems like the only one in the way really.  Some player moves and we are right there again next season.  They know exactly what their roster needs are to beat them imho.

    He put Buffalo on the global sports front page. Despite the horrific crime he likely committed much later in life, he was absolutely MUST SEE tv! Here’s a great video compilation of his Buffalo Bill on field exploits.

     

     

    Thanks!  This is one of the best highlights of OJ I have seen.  I don't remember him returning kicks.  

    Man can he turn the corner and shoot the gaps like no other.  Best runner in NFL history.  

    I screamed at my parents TV every time he got the ball.

    I trust Cosell's analysis as he doesn't appear to be emotionally-biased and goes by the tape (tape don't lie)

    Been watching / listening to him for years.  He watches so many game recordings that he knows more about every player in the league than anyone else really.  College ball too. 

    He wouldn't say it if he didn't think it were true.  The question is can SD rehabilitate next year?

    This is redemption for the 1966 AFL championship game... 

     

    This is for the City of Buffalo

     

    This is Josh Allen's destiny

     

    Patrick mahomes has never tasted the 12th man... This is a challenge

     

    We are hurting but the team is next man up... We need the vintage 12th man

     

    We need fanndemonium and raucous energy... We are deep on the D line

     

    And this is the last hurdle.. they are the monkey on the back... The Boogeyman

     

    This is a special team embrace it Sunday night and it will be the start of a special season
