We have definitely taken a step back. We will have to see where we are when we go to camp.
The team stunk last year until it phased out (he phased himself out) it’s WR1 getting 12 targets a game.
The “better” team on paper lost at home to Denver and should have lost to the Giants.
I was more worried about the leadership loss.
But we’ll be fine:
Allen
Dawkins
Bernard
Douglas
Von
Ed
Milano
And there are some very promising ones in last years and this years class.
Bishop
SVP
Keon - give him time
Kincaid
Carter - The DT from Duke
Give me this group.

I blame McDermott and Beane for paying Diggs while playing for another team. I don’t care if he wanted to leave, he was under contract
I’m pretty sure that’s what they told him in June 2023. Because it’s clear as day now that Diggs wanted out after the Cincy game.
Anyone still defending him now - I don’t understand it. And I defended him in June 2023. I thought if it was about Dorsey he had some merit. It was understandable to be questioning the hiring of a first time OC.
But it wasn’t that. We fired Dorsey mid season. The offense looked like something was wrong. I can’t possibly imagine what it was (Diggs). But we still make a miraculous run to the playoffs despite injuries again on defense. And he was checked out. Helped get a guy fired. Set a clubhouse on fire. Because he always knew he would continue to demand for a trade and of course the team knew it. Yet we still played our ***es off to get in.
And knowing we had to deal with this clown and still won thru it all, it does make McD’s performance as HC impressive - his team stood up for him and they didn’t quit on him when they could have especially knowing the Diva was checking out. Looks like they didn’t agree with whatever Diggs beefs were.
If folks want to say this will be a wasted year - and believe me I understand - I’ll just argue last year with Diggs on this team was a wasted year. Raise your hand if you think Beane should have traded him in March 2023 and if you’d have been good with that?
It was a no win situation for us. We were paralyzed by his antics and whatever freaking falling out he clearly had with Josh. Who I really want to stop referring to Diggs as his brother. Just say he was great for us on the field for 2 regular seasons and the first 8 games of 2 other regular seasons. Thank you for your service.

I blame the Gm and coach who is the only team in the NFL to not draft a WR in the first 3 rounds in 5 years. With Josh Allen as your qb
You have 2 starters there - they determined Davis (plus Sanders in 2021) - made it not necessary to draft one in the first 3 let alone 2 rounds.

Then you do what it takes to move up and grab at least one of the top 4 if not top 3. This was the time to sell out and get into the top 10. We have cap space next season and could used free agency and not have a 1st rounder. Heck we didn’t use a first this year so what is the difference?
No it wasn’t.
Too many guys aged out and holes need filling.
That cost would have been too steep with what we’re doing.
Now, next year you might be able to make that argument especially if the following happens:
1. Rousseau breaks out
2. Elam breaks out
3. Bishop is a hit - Rapp and Edwards are good
4. Milano back to old self
5. No issues or setbacks at Oline

Why would we be drafting WRs high when they had Diggs and other serviceable players? They also drafted Kincaid high last year and again this year. What are you crying about?
Exactly. They stuck with Davis. They had Shakir to step in. They drafted other key players along the way to fill holes - like all GMs there were hits and misses.
Yes I would have made a hard decision on Davis after 2022 to move on. But why create another hole in a SB window.
We took our last swing to get over the hump with Von. Injuries derailed 2022-23.
Beane is getting way too much flack over not having spent more picks on WR when 2 starters (one elite the other a hope for break out waiting to happen) were firmly in place.
Which one was going to the bench after we draft one in 2022 or 2023?
They had a plan. It worked. Horrific coaching in 13 seconds and injuries in 2022-23 ended our seasons.
And Diggs quit in the middle of it. When, why, how, we don’t know - but it’s a pretty safe bet to say that guy just wanted to get out before the rebuild - and the only way to do it was to be a prick. That likely cost us on the field. This goes back now to 2 seasons.
If he’s not a prick, they can’t trade him. He forced the issue. And we’re left a month before the draft needing another WR and carry 25 mill in dead cap.
Be upset we might need another WR. But that ain’t 100% Bean’s fault. It’s 90% on Diggs and 10% Beane.

For the record, I’m not upset about the WR room.
The vision Beane had for this offense in 2024 simplified:
Diggs
Coleman
Shakir
Samuel
Then add all our draft picks except the Duke DT and you’d have our team. Pretty dang good.
But this organization was thrown into mini turmoil bc of Stefon Diggs. Period. If your take is “Beane has neglected WR and this is what happens” you’re just wrong.
Diggs was supposed to give us 2024 and 2025.
He quit (as we know now) at the end of 2022 and throughout 2023.
I refuse to trash Beane over the WR room that was supposed to include Stefon in the plan until he tapped out and quit.
Quite frankly, I’m sick of the fan base rushing to defend Diggs over the GM that oversaw the construction of this perennial SB contenders roster.
It’s embarrassing.
I’ll be rooting for Coleman and Shakir harder than I’ve rooted for 2 Bills WRs. And if we need more ammo I trust Beane, whose cap is all screwed up this year bc of Stefon, will find more ammo.
Go Bills!-

Because Davis stunk and Diggs quit mid season someone tell me with a straight face that last year’s group was better?
We played almost a whole season with our supposed WR1 having quit on this team.
I'll take these young hungry guys and Kincaid over that and Coleman just might be that WR1 right away who knows.

This team is the 2022 Chiefs. Reboot season.
We were never coming out of this draft with a WR1 so I’m not concerned.
I love that they played everyone with the “move heaven and earth” leaks.
And collectively our WR/TE group is better than the trash they had in 2022 AND 2023.
This is why I wanted to lean into OL. Hopefully SVP can keep McGovern where he is at LG and we have our C for the next 10 years.
Coleman (90 targets)
Samuel (90 targets)
Shakir (110 targets)
Hollins (60 targets)
Hamler
Shorter
Kincaid (likely 120 targets)
Knox (50 targets)
Cook (60 targets)
Davis
There’s your 600ish targets.

I don’t want to hear squat when we can’t secure pass pro up the middle or run for 2 yards when you have to absolutely have it.

I ran the Steelers here in the last mock and said we would trade back and were taking Frazier.
Might happen here.

If you’re upset about the WR room - BLAME DIGGS
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Big Blitz
He was traded. We took on 26 million in dead cap. He was a no show last June. I defended him believing there were issues with Dorsey/offense. We fired Dorsey.
He was still traded.
Which ones were dealt by their teams and which stayed and won a SB?
He was traded. We took on a 26 million dollar dead cap hit.
Would you like more evidence he was a massive problem?
You want to blame the Organization and McD go ahead. This is now twice Diggs did this.
