    My ex-wife never made 1 of mine, actually the oncologist commented as much (made 5 years Dec 8th & my divorce came through Feb 24th this year).

    I thought divorce was the worst thing that ever happened to me, until I came to realize it was the second best thing that ever happened to me.

     

    Congratulations on moving forward. It gets better each day.

    One positive from Diggs departure that isn't being discussed

    is that I now believe the narrative on Josh and the Bills in general has changed. We are now according to the media a non contender. We lost both our top two receivers and one being a top five guy in Diggs. We had to let go of our safeties, our Center, and our best pass rusher from last season.

     

    The window is closed. The Bills won't be a threat, and Josh has a rag tag group to throw to. 

     

    This to me opens up the door for Josh to elevate his game this season...to stay within himself and the offense to put up a phenomenal season which will give the media no other option but to recognize his greatness and finally let him win his first MVP award.

     

    This team is not what the media is portraying it in my eyes, but that doesn't matter because they have already decided we are worse, that Josh has no real receivers, and that we are yesterday's news.

     

    It's a good spot to be in for not just the team, but for Josh and his MVP chances

     

    It's always good to be underestimated.... and then surprise them. That's how I lived my professional life. It's a good life hack.

     

    I am always uncomfortable when the Bills are highly rated, like they were last season.

    On the TBD news page, Syracuse Post suggests the Bills might even trade down.

     

    "The Bills might ultimately be content with letting the draft play out and addressing the position at No. 28 — or even possibly trading back."

     

    That would cause a melt down around here.

    For those who don't know, I will add that HappyDays is very selective about what he shares in order to protect his inside source(s), but he has been shown unambiguously in the past, to have inside gouge.  I wish he'd share more of the "things that (he) know(s)" but I "get it".

     

    I think it's also telling that very few Bills players commented on his "goodbye" post or on the trade news, in contrast to how news of Gabe Davis FA signing was received.

    I suspect no one wants to be the source of "bulletin board material" before the Texans game this season.

     

    Are we really going to miss any of the departed players?

    I've been a Bills fan since 1980. I've seen them come, I've seen them go.

     

    For me, the Salary Cap dump of 1999 hurt the most.

     

    Sometimes their departure stings. But it stings like ripping off a Band-Aid, it hurts for a moment, then goes away.

     

    I doubt many here will rue the departure of Diggs next January, except for a few of the "I told you so" types.

    So You Need to Move Diggs..Why the Texans??

    Forgive me in advance if this subject came up somewhere in the 116 pages of the Diggs is traded thread, but...

    Let's assume the Diggs trade had to happen now...why the Texans?...Yes his production is way down, but even at 31 he's still got a lot left in the tank...and you may have handed the team that, at least on paper, seems to now be the most talent laden in the AFC. 

    People certainly would be up in arms if we dealt him to the Chiefs or Bengals, but the Texans may be a tougher "out" this season.

    My biggest complaint in this whole matter is that Beane couldn't find a trade partner in the NFC, or a team in the AFC searching for a QB and not a threat.

    Maybe other GMs around the league are wary now that Diggs has whined his way off of two teams, and weren't willing to give up a second round pick.

    You answered your own question.

     

    Due to Diggs malcontent behavior, it was a market where the buyers had control. Maybe the Texans were the only takers.

    Diggs traded to Texans for picks

    Yes?  Why would we not?  Diggs does nothing in the playoffs and our defense was a M.A.S.H. unit and we still had a decent shot at it this past season.

     

    You don't need the best roster in the league to win the Superbowl.  You just need to win 3-4 games in a row at the end of the season.  Having a better roster makes that easier, but the Giants did it twice with merely decent teams and guys stepping up at the right moments.

    Yep. ..and if you have Injury Luck, you can go far.

    This affair reminds me of the Bill Belichick mantra: Better to let a player go too early than too late.

     

    Beane is letting go of Diggs a year early--or maybe just in time.

     

    I'm OK with that. Especially after Diggs threw Allen under the bus.

    True.  A second round is not nothing and the Texans wanted Diggs so Beane had something to work with, but he had his back to the wall to get something done.  I’m sure he had to compromise more than he would have liked. 
     

    The consensus on this board was the the Bills got fleeced.   I think Beane did well despite the position he was in. 

     

    Diggs poor behavior on Twitter made it hard for Beane to maneuver.
