  1. I'm wondering about this myself based on his press conference.

     

    Is it a good idea to bring him back if the price is right? It sounds like he's open to returning. 

     

    There seems to be two key contingencies to consider (other than the contract)

     

    Is he open to the role of player / coach / mentor for the young guys.?

     

    Can we afford a roster spot for that type of player?

  2. The talent is still there. If this team were coached by someone like Mike Tomlin or Sean Payton, everyone would be suggesting they're a tough team and will make a SB run. But because we lack the weapons with superstar auras like OBJ or Tyreek, the overall team gets discounted.

     

    McDermott needs to find a way to win NOW and lack of talent is no excuse. Let's see if the receivers room can stun the football world.

    Well, it’s better than re-hiring Ted Nolan… time will tell how much. 
     

    I’m hoping that Adams made the decision to fire Granato some time ago and gauged the interest of other currently unemployed coaches.
     

    I suspect, however, that Adams knows his job is on the line and Ruff is a desperate panic hire given their familiarity with one another with Adams having previously been on Ruff’s staff. 
     

    Hoping it works, but certainly tempering my enthusiasm (despite being a big fan of Ruff during his first stint).

     

    To those citing his lack of a Cup, he got them there and came close with a much less talented team than the Stars, and their best chance was derailed by a freakish run of defensive injuries against Carolina. It was certainly not a coaching issue in either of those seasons. Can’t speak to his time outside of Buffalo. 
     

     

    Nolan got fired after leading a weak team to the conference semi finals. They were tremendous overachievers . . . Jason Dawe, Brian Holzinger . . . not elite talent.  How can you fire a guy after winning a playoff series? Not to mention, that was the year Hasek got hurt in the postseason  (or was he faking?) and he still managed to win a playoff series with Steve Shields in net.  Don't understand how anyone can dog him. Hasek wanted him out so they pushed him out.

     

    Then he had two seasons with the Isles and made the playoffs in one of them. Isles at the time were infamously dysfunctional 

     

    As far as his second stint in Buffalo . . . it hardly seems right to hold it against him after the LaFontaine fiasco. Management was dysfunctional.

     

    Ted Nolan got shafted hardcore. Never got a fair shake and it's a shame. Not saying they should hire him now. But someone certainly should.

    I'm confused. What did diggs do? He didn't tweet it.. someone replied to him. It has a like, but the screenshot doesn't show who liked it. Can someone explain it to me?

    He "liked" a tweet that said Bills fans are the worst and bitter AF.

    Personally, I think this deserves a thread of its own. But I also understand why some fans don't want to go down this rabbit hole.

     

    The bottom line: Diggs is too emotional. Last week the fans "were the best." This week, they are the "worst." 

     

    The truth is that you don't want guys who are too emotional going into battle with you. You need guys like Brady (who napped before the SuperBowl.) You need to be able to turn emotions on and off at the right time.

     

    Diggs isn't able to do that. So, ya know, **** him. Go tear up another team's locker room.

    Disgraceful human being?  Come on man.  Is he a drama queen?  Yes.  Do I think he's a bad guy?  No.   

    Fair enough.

     

    I'm mad at him because he could have been part of the solution, but instead made himself part of the problem. Taking himself out of games? Undermining his QB's confidence? Allowing his brother to bash Allen on Twitter and not sticking up for Allen? Allen is 27 and needs a good support system around him. Diggs was the worst kind of personality.

     

    Dorsey and Diggs majorly screwed up the O in 2023 and it's a damn shame.

     

    How did KC fare after they got rid of Tyreek Hill? (Immensely talented but also a head case).

     

    Diggs is a top 20 receiver who benefited from having a top 3 QB. I don't wish him well.

    I really wish the media would do their jobs and stop rehashing the Diggs drama. It’s over and done with. 
     

    They need to focus on what really happened with Brittany. I need to know the scoop.  

    The NFL is a 365 24/7 operation. We are in the heart of the off season.

     

    What do all the fans complaining and commenting here want the media to talk about?Potential practice squad players? No one cares about that. The audience cares about superstars. That's Diggs and Allen.

     

    When Buffalo was an irrelevant franchise (for more than a generation!) fans complained that the media wouldn't talk about them and always disrespected them. Now, the media is in love with the Bills and fans still complain.

     

    Josh Allen is an icon and everything about him will be a national or even an international story. He's part of the fabric of the NFL now.  This is because he's so immensely talented.

     

    We can't have it both ways. With immense talent comes hyper publicity.

    Bills Punter Sam Martin Wins AFC Special Teams Player of the Month

    https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-sam-martin-afc-special-teams-player-of-the-month#:~:text=Bills punter Sam Martin was named the AFC,punter to earn the accolade since November 2006.

     

    He got an award in December of 2023 and then she got injured running on a football field chasing after a player making a play after a block.

     

     

     

    You forgot the part where he stopped to pick up his handwarmer! He needed that before making the tackle.

    Is this another ***** punter thread?

     

    My god. 

    It's the offseason and it's an important position. Why wouldn't there be?

  9. Maybe I'm biased, but I absolutely despise Martin. That play in the WC game where he got hurt last year (PICKING UP HIS HAND WARMER!!!!)  before running after the player who recovered the fumble from the blocked punt was one of the worst plays I've seen since the infamous butt fumble.  He should have got a lot more criticism for that embarrassing play. He should be run out of town.

     

    It also cost us a lot in the KC game since he wasn't 100%

     

    Martin is clearly not an athlete. But worse than that, I'm not sure he knows how to stretch properly. A punter should be the most well-stretched player on the field.  Has he never run a sprint before?

     

    Bean has screwed up the punting situation massively.

     

    Years of Brian Moorman led me to believe that it's not that hard to get a solid athletic Punter. Moorman was small AF but he was also a really great athlete. Did he ever get hurt during his long tenure?

     

    I don't know what Sam Martin is. I'd say he's a bum. Kick his ass to the curb.

  10. I know the ACL injury wasn't 100% his fault, but it was still stupid by Hines. Why put yourself in a position to get injured in the offseason? You're 26-27, only a few years in the league if you're lucky. Jet ski after you've retired. He had this coming.

     

    The point is that offseason / off-field /non-training injuries like of this nature are unacceptable. Buffalo shouldn't have been obliged to pay his salary last year.

     

    Good call to axe his contract as it shows horrible judgement on the part of Hines.
