I think the Jets are a bigger threat with a healthy QB, but playing devils advocate, Nate Hackett should be the reason why someone thinks Miami is a bigger threat.

It’s just tough to watch the drops after watching him at Georgia. He routinely made the catches deep downfield. His hands were his biggest selling point.

Yup. I think the plan is Kincaid + RBs being the pace setters for the offense and using the WRs best to suit their skill sets. I also think Shakir and Samuel will fair better outside situationally than many think.

Sorry, I suppose I replied before finishing reading your post. I don’t see how any GM would be ok with that tweet and knowing Diggs’ history, we’ve seen this before. Walks like a Diggs move, quacks like a Diggs move, it’s probably a Diggs move

I agree with all of this- trading him was part of the plan if they could get good value- I think they got good value, it just doesn’t kick in until next draft. I just can’t believe that the tweet wouldn’t ruffle their feathers.

you’re acting as if I’m saying the only reason he was traded is because of the tweet. That’s not what I’m saying. I believe that they were taking offers and wanted to trade him but they didn’t like the offers enough to pull the trigger just yet. The tweet help madden offer look a little sweeter- having your WR that has been in the negative spotlight almost every offseason talk smack on his QB could even lead to his value dropping if he were to say something on top of the tweet- agree to disagree you don’t find what Diggs said to be offensive to Josh? If you do, you don’t think that’s an issue?

I don’t consider that to be a snarky and ambiguous tweet. It had a purpose either way. If you’re right and he tweeted after being informed of the trade, it was a shot at Josh. If I’m right, and the tweet just further proved that this relationship is over, he got exactly what he wanted. And we sent him to one of the best spots for him. It’s my opinion that he didn’t want to be here anymore and he had an opportunity to force himself out, just like he did in minny. I didn’t want to trade Diggs- I was hoping we’d keep him. Then I saw what he had said and changed my mind- I would have preferred if we could move on. Then hours later- he’s gone. But then again- I’m not a GM. I just don’t think one has to be an NfL GM to realize when a relationship is fractured beyond repair

Nothing but my speculation but I think your sequence of events is on point but I’d point out that Diggs’ “you sure?” Was what further happens I think the trade was on the table and they weren’t pulling the trigger but that tweet sealed the deal. But who knows?

You can look at it that way. I don’t think the roster losses that constitute this a “rebuild” were that big minus Diggs and Floyd. Neither player played significant roles in our seasons turn around. 2 Older players that didn’t live up to their contracts when they were needed. Gabe- mehhhh- paying him would’ve been a terrible mistake imo. Poyer and Hyde had clearly lost more than a step- their replacements may actually be upgrades comes playoff time. Tre- we got nothing but big cap hits from Tre for 3 years. phillips, settle, Joseph- I think our replacements are better. Sure- our WR unit is worse than last year based on history- but what else is noticeably worse? One could argue that this team is better on D by replacing declining vets. The team that barely lost to the champs will get back Milano, Bernard, Benford and a healthy Douglas. Von miller should be better and I love that soloman will be learning from him. I think that we’re a pretty competitive rebuild as I don’t think we’ll be much worse, if at all, yet have put ourselves in a much better cap situation going forward…..which will increase our chances of winning for the remaining Josh Allen “prime years” The chiefs were in a similar rebuild. Their WR unit regressed and they won back to back Lombardi's edit- forgot to mention Morse. That loss could be a big one, but Edwards was a capable LG for a Super Bowl winning team. Up the middle, Mcgovern should be a more physical force than Morse too. Might not be a noticeable drop off if at all.

It’s just an incognito “Mack Hollins- our WRs suck” thread. Don’t get it twisted

Correct- the Bills chose to improve their salary cap structure for the future as opposed to giving themselves the best shot in 24 at the expense of future years cap. It’s something that every talented team with an elite QB will do at some point.

Agreed on the Von front. While I don’t believe he’s a sure thing to be good again, I think it’s unfair to assume he’s toast because of what we saw last year. That may be the case, he may be done….but I believe some people are built different mentally and physically. Based on his career, I believe Von may be one of those built different. If he plays in 14+ games, I think he’ll get 6+ sacks. Regarding Groot and AJ, I think they’re both shoo ins for 7+ (if healthy). AJ has improved every season and has an explosive get off. Groot has looked like a dominant player at times- then he inevitably gets a lower body injury that slows him down. Stay relatively healthy and I think they hit over 20 Yeah- I’ll go under on 54. Eager to see what Babich brings to the table though.

The most loved and hated player in basketball history behind LeBron James

At least we have Caitlyn Clark and her fans vs the haters to take over the media until preseason

Hopefully one of them can make a play in the f******* playoffs! 😂

Awesome!! That’s a biiiiiiiig boy!!! I’m sure you’ll enjoy watching him grow into a man. Good for you! 👊🏻

Time will tell, but I think Cooks burst is on a different level than Davis. And while Cooks hands have been a mixed bag as a pro, his hands were arguably his best trait coming out of college. I love Davis and I expect him to be the starter in 26, but I’m expecting Cook to be the unquestioned starter. Could be similar to Shady and Gillislee/Karlos. Unless……Cook continues to fumble. That’s the one thing that will put him in the doghouse. it’ll be interesting to see how Cook deals with the competition with his eventual replacement

Based on history- It would be great- until he inevitably gets hurt and has zero playoff impact

No, but you’re comparing them to the bengals- a team that was gift wrapped two elite players because they were bad- I don’t give Cinci any credit for drafting those two. Both picks were givens. I do give them credit for signing Trey and drafting Higgins, wilson, pratt and cam Taylor Britt. Jury is still out on last years class and Dax Hill from the prior year. You mention Ed being the 4th best DT and Cody ford being a massive bust….as if the bengals didn’t bust taking Jonah Williams and drew sample with the 11th pick in rd 1 and 2…… as if they didn’t draft Jackson Carmen in rd 2……zach Carter in rd 3. GMs make poor selections- several of them. It’s inevitable. I think Beanes biggest blunders have been in FA.

Dude has been on his couch for 2 years. How does this make Buffalo look like fools and not the entire nfl that also allowed him to sit on his couch?

You’re wasting your time. You should be littering every thread with McD sucks posts. Obv

Thanks for putting that info together.
