    The Trade For Diggs

    To my fellow Bills fans, I think about this all the time. I am curious everyone else’s thoughts on this.

     

    If we hadn’t traded our 22nd pick for Diggs Justin Jefferson falls in our lap that following year. I know this is in hindsight and Beane was trying to get us a solid weapon in which he did. Diggs was great for a few years but I can’t help but wonder how different this team would’ve been for a decade plus of Allen and Jefferson.

    They needed a vet WR with money because of rookie QB contract to compete vs waiting for receiver to develop.

     

    minnesota had other vet receivers to not put pressure on Jefferson.

     

    don’t forget they got a 2nd for him from the Texans.

    On NFC….

     

    East…it looks like the eagles will win the division and be only playoff team

     

    South— I think Tampa wins the division. Carolina has 5 divisional games games and plays nfc west except AZ .  Carolina is 5-4 so thry are in playoff hunt.

     

    west— San Francisco, like chargers, played division form early and went 3-0. Next 2 games are also div games. The results will say a lot about how they do in the division 

     

    Arizona before beating cowboys were 2-5, all one score games and I think 4 of the 5 had blown leads late in games,

     

    north— all 4 are 500 or better.  Some talk of all 4 making the playoffs is possible, but unlikely.  This is very wide open. Green Bay has 5 of 6 divisional games games left.

     

    i think the 2nd place teams in north and west make WC. 3rd WC is between 3rd place teams in north and west and 2nd place in south

    My thoughts……

     

    new England is decent but they are going to falter some.  Good start has given them confidence.

     

    Indianapolis was in a bunch of one score games last year, I think 8-6. They won 2 near or at the end of the game.  Thry have a tough closing schedule playing twice against Jax and hou and they play ATL, KC, SEA,and  SF. Indy got TEN twice

     

    JAX— they still have TEN twice, hou ne, indy 2 times. Thry have chargers, broncos,and  cardinals

     

    at 3-5, does Houston try to fight for division or fade? They lost to JAX earlier  and play them in Sunday a los puts them in a hole being 3 games back in record+ season sweep.

     

    west….

     

    chargers have the upper hand because they swept division play at 3-0 earlier in the season.  They have PIT and JAX before their bye and still have PHL and Dallas.

    Denver has 5 divisional games to play and Jax, gb, and wounded was team to play.

    kC still plays twice against Denver so they still control their fate in division race. Thry also have dal, Indy, and Houston.

     

    north…

     

    I only see the division winner making the playoffs from here.  Baltimore still has 5 divisional games games to play.

     

     

    i think the WC teams will be the 2nd place teams other than the north.

    Not from ESPN but what play is this person speaking about, because all I remember him getting hit was on the 3rd down play that forced the kick before half, which to think the cheer was at all related to him being injured means you have no idea about sports at all. Was there another moment?

    It was the hit in the end zone just before the FG.

     

    if you look at the replace bishop hit him hard and he left the field and the trainers took him into the locker room before half ended with KC needing to kick off and the kneel down.

     

    if I was there I would have cheered to.  Because he was walking off the field. They wouldn’t have been cheating if they brought the cart into the field.

    I agree. Would I love him to get some playing time, especially if we are up big against the Panthers, sure. He's had 4 practices in the NFL, 0 preseason games. The likelihood that they'll throw him out there against KC with under two weeks of practice are extremely unlikely. 

    I’d rather have him be a surprise to KC with a lack of game tape.

    These would be my changes…

     

    - Get rid of illegal formation. The only thing that stays is OL have to be within a reasonable distance of the OC. The “guy is covering up  or not covering up” is dumb and meaningless to the play. 

     

    -Allow two or more men in motion at the same time as long as no one is going towards the line of scrimmage at time of snap.

    Formation is how you know who the receivers are and who are not.

     

    the idea is you don’t want players with a running start.  It also cause problem with false start penalties.

    8 hours ago, LabattBlue said:

     

    - Illegal man down field. Who cares.  As long as they don’t catch the ball, let the OL go wherever they want. Specifically, if they are 5 yards downfield on an RPO, so what. 

     

     

     

    It’s about who you need to cover vs who you don’t.  You could modify it a bit such as engagement with a defender thus you could push it to one yd.

     

    the one yard rule also governs other rules.

    Who cares if the wide receiver covers up the tight end?  Why is this a penalty?

    It’s about formation.  The idea is the end points are eligible players to leave the line. The others need to be off the line.  It’s an historic rule about formations vs designated numbers by position.

    Bottom line - Giants scored too quick

     

    Its 2025.  If the other team needs just a FG and has 30 plus seconds left - that’s plenty of time.  
     

     

    I’m just a common sense coordinator looking for a job.  


     

    i would not critique that.  You can’t play around when you need a TD.  If it was a FG, you can make a better argument or if they scored a TD when all they needed was a FG.

    I've seen this proposed before, sort of like a football version of a 3 point shot.

     

    I think it should be the other way around, there should be MORE points for a short FG, to reward you for driving deeper into enemy territory. If you only got 2 points for 50+, for instance, It would put more pressure on the offensive team that is driving for a FG at the end of the game to tie or win, they'd have to get down to the 30 or so to get 3 points.

    Thsts what I said…shorter get more pts, longer gets less so that incentives going for it.

    Here are some rules I think are dumb and that should be changed:

     

    1. After a missed FG, why is the ball spotted at the point of the kick instead of the previous line of scrimmage?  The team not only misses the FG but also effectively gets penalized 7 yards.  I say change this rule.

    Why not an mis just be a touchback? 
     

    it’s the risk associated to the kick.  Which might deter teams from trying.

    2. When a team gets flagged for delay of game, why not give them the option to use a timeout to avoid the 5 yard penalty?  It would make for some interesting coaching decisions.

     

    need to watch the clock and be click aware.

     

    9 hours ago, Dan Darragh said:

     

    3. In victory formation, the QB should not be charged with a -2 yard rushing attempt.  It should be "team yardage" or something like that. I saw a game the other day where the backup QB was pushing forward to get back to the LOS on each kneel-down, which is just dumb and dangerous, but he apparently didn't want the negative rushing yardage.

     

    sure you could exclude it from individual rushing attempts and associated stats, same with spikes to stop the clock.

    There, I said it.  Now back to ragging on Beane and McDermott and Brady.

     

     

    what if you changed values of FZgs based on distance so the ones under 30 are 4 pts, 50+ are only worth 2.

     

    why not put lines about 5 yds from the sideline. Players can’t line up outside here, players from field/ sideline must leave/ come in the field. It becomes an illegal substitution penalty.

     

    also use these line for KOs where if the ball falls inside this line, and hits in the field again, before going out of bounds then the out of bounds is the ball spot.

    It makes sense if you’ve watched how terrible that offense is.  He’s an offensive HC and they are miserable in that department.  I have no problem with them getting rid of him.  Dude had Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Mixon.  That’s why he got a HC job imo

    He’s an off coach who needs off talent that he does not have.
