It's right there in the title. The man we basically got in return for Patrick Mahomes has basically been nowhere for this team since 2021. He's due to make a ton of money in 2024 and judging by his "comeback" in 2022, it seems absolutely insane that they are gonna pay him all that money next season to fearfully rehab through November and then play like a 5th rate CB when he comes back.
We also have two starting CB. Benford and Douglas.
Cut Tre White's ass as soon as we can. Either that or he needs to accept a shitload less money, cuz otherwise we will just be showing that this team is not serious about winning a Super Bowl.
Spoken like a true "Bandwagon" fan.

A lot of people will defend Diggs. I can’t find much to defend him on. Disappeared the second half of the season, takes himself out of the game way too much, drops passes, never fights for yardage. Not exactly many superstar qualities left.
I think he is playing injured again. In 2021 he played the last half of the season with a torn Oblique muscle. Oblique muscles are attached to the bottom of the rib cage. They are the ones we sue to twist and turn our body at the waist. When one is injured you usually can go about life mostly normal. That is until you twist or turn the wrong way. THEN - very painful, like a broken rib type painful for a few minutes.
That sort of situation would explain why he avoided contact whenever possible.

F the Chiefs.
I am routing for the Lions!!!!!

I believe Gabe has great talent however I also believe he is "lazy brained". He doesn't seem to study the game and just tries to get by on "winging it".
IF he ever decides to buckle down and train his head as much as his body, he will make some team a hell of a player one day.
I doubt he will find the motivation playing for the Bills.

GO BILLS!!!!!!

I really wish he'd cut that out. It's not only incredibly lame, it's completely beneath him given how tough a player he is.
But... Do you think he should just "man up" and play tough guy? Would that not send a message to defenders to give it their best shot?
Just maybe - Josh is sending a message that "if you mess with me - I will try and make sure you get caught".
Maybe Josh is trying to make sure the refs notice.
Even with all that - players STILL take cheap shots. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like other teams players taking cheap shots at our players.

Have you not watched him play for the past 3 years?
He always goes down to avoid contact unless he is already on the run. That's his way of preserving his body to prolong his career and stay healthy.
In 2021 Diggs played through a torn oblique to help his club reach the AFC Championship Game.
A torn oblique has a way of being easily re-injured. I know this from personal experience. Move the wrong way and extreme pain for a short time then ok.
It seemed to me that was his reaction to being tumbled after that tackle. Commentator speculated that he had the wind knocked out of him but oblique pain is intense but short lived as long as you don't twist the wrong way.

I think the Pat's number one and number two picks may very well be for HC and GM - Bill did both jobs, I believe.

I have watched every game for decades. Literally.
Even gotten free trials of fubo, downloaded apps, got up at absurd times to see London games, etc.
But this game isn't on LOCAL ROCHESTER MARKET because piddly little peacock is trying a money grab.
All the other "exclusives" had free trials, were simulcast on a real network, or even in the case of prime- everyone already has it. But peacock, tiny little bullschitt peacock with nothing worthwhile to offer? The NFL not only isn't afraid, they actively don't like us.
So I can't. I just can't. Sure, I could afford the subscription; but I can't positively reinforce negative behavior by the NFL trying yet another way into fans' pockets.
They will take our tax money to build the brand new stadium for a billionaire, but we can't even watch the effing game. Pathetic.
I hear ya!!!
BUT
I recently signed up with Peacock because they offered a whole year for $19.99 - ya can't beat that with a stick!
OR the price is $5.99/mo too much to pay for your Bills Backer Bar ????
This seems kinda like a "moleHILL you're choosing to die on..."

Actually, it's not such a big difference. Both guys are abusing their bodies.
The offensive lineman I heard was talking about eating 6000 calories a day for months in order to maintain his playing weight. He said for his entire playing career, he couldn't roll around on the floor with his kids because he had no flexibility, and because all of his joints ached from carrying the weight.
I'm not defending Dawkins, at all. I'm disappointed he didn't have the discipline the modern game requires. I'm just saying that it's naive to think that guys going on crash diets are the only guys abusing their bodies in the NFL. A lot of them are, from their brains to their toes.
" couldn't roll around on the floor with his kids because he had no flexibility, and because all of his joints ached from carrying the weight. " WOW
Agree both extremes are not healthy. I don't think Dawkins will last very long in the NFL if he continues his off season antics. IMO

I agree. It used to be much more common for guys to do what he did - let himself go and then diet like crazy to get ready for the season. I was surprised to see him so overweight.
Still, his diet was pretty incredible.
The flip side is I heard a retired offensive lineman interviewed on the radio, and the interviewer commented about how fit the guy looked. The retired player said he weighed 190, and that he had eaten enormous quantities of food to maintain a playing weight around 300. When the season ended, he would drop to "only 260" or something in the off-season, then eat his way back up to his playing weight. Once he retired, he started running and returned to really was his normal weight under 200. He said there are a lot of pro football players like him, which means they are "dedicated professional" athletes who are trashing their bodies to carry the weight to play the game. Cuts both ways.
There is a big difference between your example and Dawkins.
In your example players work hard and ate to carry extra weight. When season was over they did not eat the extra calories and thus their weigh went down normally.
What Dawkins did was over eat and added 40 pounds of fat. Then went on a water and salad diet, basically a starvation diet, to lose weight but THAT way of dieting usually results in the lose of muscle.
QuoteStarvation diets have far-reaching negative effects on the body. Starving to lose weight changes the metabolism, reduces lean muscle, reduces bone density, and decreases strength

Beck - I am definitely flattered. I've written that a couple of times, but I don't think anytime in the past couple of years. It was a hockey game.
Yes, it was an epiphany. It was so clear that those women were really focused on their bodies and how they looked, and suddenly it dawned on that of course they would be because their partners were also focused on their bodies.
Think about what Dawkins did. It was, apparently, five or six weeks, 35 or 40 days, where EVERY DAY he: (1) drank 100 ounces of water before he ate anything. Think about that. Eight glasses of water before eating anything. (2) Ate a salad for lunch. (3) Ate a salad for dinner. (4) Maybe had a protein bar. That's it. Every day. I couldn't eat my favorite food every day for six weeks, but that diet?
These guys are focused on their performance in ways that, to be honest, aren't normal.
Many Pro athletes are very focused on their performance and live a lifestyle dedicated to that purpose.
Dawkins is not in that category because he trashed his body so bad that he had to Crash Diet (not healthy) just to undo the damage he had caused in 6 or 7 weeks time. A dedicated professional would not have trashed their body to begin with.
What Dawkins did was his own version of Binge and Purge - not healthy!

Mark Gaughan: Dion Dawkins feels fit, trim, and he's ready to make Bills' haters eat their words
Dawkins had lost 40 pounds earlier in the offseason. He has been strictly following an eating regimen laid out by the team for the past six months, since the start of March. He’s in great shape and ready for the start of his seventh season.
He gained an added 40 pounds from his 330-pound playing weight during late January and February.
“I was like 370 by the start of March,” Dawkins said. “I was kinda binging as comfort. Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner. It caught up quick.”
Dawkins met with Will Greenberg, the Bills’ assistant strength and conditioning coach and performance development coach.
“I started drinking a ton of water,” Dawkins said. “I would drink 100 ounces of water before I would eat anything, before I would put any food into my body. Every day. Then I was doing two Chipotle salads a day, like 600 to 800 calories a day. That’s it. If I needed a pick-me-up, I’d have a protein bar for 200 calories.”
He gained FORTY POUNDS in TWO MONTHS!
That is one hell of a binge. Team dedication be damned! He had to work as hard as he could just to get back to end of season shape. MOST dedicated players, like Micah Hyde, work most of the off season to get BETTER than last season - THAT is team dedication.

Diggs posted two different messages on his Instagram story. The first said this: “I just be letting people cap. If them lies help you sleep better tell em big dawg.” The second said this: “My phone been silent for like 6 years. Ion play all them sounds and *****.”
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/06/13/stefon-diggs-breaks-silence-on-instagram/
First of all - Is English his second language?
"If them lies help you sleep better tell em big dawg" - Who is "big dawg"? McDermott or Josh Allen?
Stefon Diggs has an attitude that effect the locker room this year and most likely wants changes to his contract that will let him move on at the end of the season if not earlier.
In my opinion!

Not digg'n Diggs anymore.
These are bullshoot games.

Ohhhhhhhh.
in that case, my stance was wrong. I literally thought people were complaining that others were watching live on channel 4 (I believe I’m remembering the local Buffalo channel number for bills games) and posting in the live thread. And they were mad because they were streaming so they were delayed.
thanks for the clarification.
Your first assumption was correct!

You don't have to understand it or agree with it.
But be aware that if I get a report that somebody is tipping picks and it is diminishing the experience for others, I will lock that person out without hesitation.
Is there a way for me to know if my feed is faster/sooner than everyone else's?
Maybe ONE person should be designated as the "revealer"?
Maybe there should be a designated member to officially start the discussion for the long awaited draft pick?
I am serious - how do we all know ,when it is safe to discuss the pick?
PS - I watch regular season Bills games on TV - I also read this game day thread while watching. I think it is great knowing ahead of time what the next play will be.

Josh Allen has guys that can run fast and catch the ball.
Josh Allen needs an O line that can give him enough TIME to throw the ball.

Does this team actually have the guts to move on from Tre White?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by cd1
One thing that concerns me is that he has had two, back to back, season ending, non contact injuries.
This has to get into a player's head and effect their performance going forward. How do you train or plan to avoid these things?
