Chi is gonna be good next year. It’s not gonna be top 10.
Completely dependant on Caleb Williams. If he's halfway decent or better, you're right. If he's a bust, it could be top 5.

I really like that trade. Honestly a no brainer. Next year we will likely have three 4ths because of Gabe Davis' comp pick.
Until the NFL just knocks it down to a 5th for no reason.

You know that just because a receiver didn't catch a target doesn't mean it was a drop, right? He dropped 2 passes on 17 targets in the 2023 postseason and 8 on 160 targets int he regular season. If you want to compare Diggs drops to Allen's Bad Pass percentage, you might be surprised.
The stat keepers are pretty generous toward WRs with what they count as drops. Diggs still had 2 on 8 targets (an insanely bad 25% for the record), including a perfectly placed bomb from Allen that could have won the game. The guy did not show up in the playoffs.

Maybe.
Maybe teams arent as willing to help out the Bills as they are the Jets. Already reported no one took our calls on the last trade up attempt.
It's a possibility. Although the teams that traded up or acquired picks (Lions, 49ers, Texans, Dolphins, Packers) are all contenders as well and didn't have any issues.

Too bad he didn't throw to Diggs a little more. Maybe he would have led us to Conference championship instead of another Pro-am.
Diggs caught 3 of 8 targets against the Chiefs. You wanted to see more drops?

Who promised you the bold?
Beane watched us lose a ton of starters. We have holes all over the Defense, especially in depth. Anyone who thought we were going to sacrifice a bunch of picks for mid-round WRs was on the wrong track.
Plus, you need 2 to tango and most of the teams are aware that the talent in this draft drops off a cliff after about 130 players. So those 5ths are worthless for trades.
Case in point:
You need to move next year's good picks just to get up in this draft.
Pittsburgh didn't trade for that pick. However, the 49ers did just trade two 5th round picks for the Jets' 4th round pick. And that's straight up-- as in, they didn't even give up their own 4th. And the Jets also traded away a 4th round pick for next year's 3rd from the Lions. Again, straight up. That's a normal trade value for any draft.
So your assessment of trade value is way off. It wouldn't have taken much to move up or even acquire an extra pick this round.
And there have been 7 trades this round with teams moving up or acquiring picks so there's no shortage of partners either.

So we acquired all these draft picks to be able to move around the board and now we're just going to watch every remaining viable WR get taken when we could easily move up and get one?

It is kind of an awkward moment when the team traded to make you a 2nd round pick instead of 1st rounder. But I mean drafted in the NFL is drafted in the NFL.
Just letting him know he'll be getting a second contract instead of a 5th year option!

This went through my mind as well- if this is the type of player they are looking for, then why didn’t the just keep Davis? Yes, Coleman is cheaper but he will also take a couple of years to develop.
Sooner or later they're going to have to learn that Top 100 picks should have an immediate impact and not take years to develop. Right?

How can 95% success rate be red??? Hell how can 77% be but then 73% be yellow?
Because it's in comparison to other receivers.
The only thing this guy isn't below average at (besides drop rate which is exceptional) is contested catches. But he wasn't even better at it than some other Day 2 receivers. And he's not big enough or athletic enough to do it in the NFL.
Love the hands, but he won't have the space to use them.

They were saying the same things about Mike Evans as they are about Keon Colman so hopefully he can be that type of guy for us.
Mike Evans is 2 inches taller and 15 pounds heavier and is also faster. There is no comparison between the two.

And not a single one of those was a Buffalo pick. Thats 5 years in the top 3 rounds. The wr position has been so grossly undervalued by Mcbeane it should be malpractice
He used a 1st round pick to get our WR1 who was arguably the most productive receiver in the league during his tenure with the Bills. We had more pressing needs after that. You'll get your WR in at least one of the first three rounds this year.

Kelce is a tool and a spoiled baby, but that wasn't a shove. Definitely bumped into him but Reid just wasn't expecting anyone to come in hot like that and lost his balance.
Calling this a shove is just being melodramatic.

Can you imagine the mountain of hot takes that would have ensued if Allen had air-balled an interception like Mahomes did in the Super Bowl?
These guys are held to different standards. Allen has outplayed Mahomes the last 5 times they played. Switch the defenses and Allen has the trophies and Mahomes doesn't.
Brady had the best defenses. Mahomes has the best defenses. Allen has a tissue paper defense and receivers with slippery hands.

Mahomes is as cool as ice in clutch moments. I hate that he keeps winning and my friends were laughing at me at how upset I got with the 49ers losing (not a team I routinely support) but I have to admit it...
When it's crunch time and the game, the season, the championship is on the line, if I can pick one player to make it happen, it's Mahomes. I hate it but that's the truth.
Yeah that gimme TD after the punt debacle and the final walk-in toss to Hardman were legendary. He really nailed those 4 field goals too. Amazing stuff.

They had injuries including tonight. They were missing Joe Thuney and Derrick Nnadi a starting Guard and DT. They missed Pacheco for a couple of games. Didn't have Bolton for a stretch of the season.
Pacheco and Bolton both played most of the year and the entire playoffs.
Pennel was an upgrade to Nnadi.
And apparently you don't need quality guard play when you can just hold on every play.
Basically, none of those guys affected their game. Give us either Milano or Bernard, nevermind both, nevermind the rest of our defensive starters who were out against the Chiefs, and we're probably celebrating right now.

Huh? If each teams scores equally on their first possession then it is back to the very old school rule of first score wins. So…..if first score wins and you win the coin toss is that an advantage or nah?
Well yeah if first score wins then you take the ball. But that's not the rule.

Drive 3 is sudden death though and that’s not a minor thing
Possibly a consideration in a shootout. But unless you have zero faith in your defense then you shouldn't worry about low probability scenarios over a high probability scenario.

If the receiving team scores a TD and makes the extra point, the worst that can realistically happen is that they are either tied in a game where the next score wins or they have to stop a 2 pointer. If the opponent scores and opts to kick for 1, then the receiving team has the advantage. If they score a FG and can hold the other team to a FG they gain a huge advantage. The only advantage for the kicking team is knowing what they have to do and possibly having 4 downs. SF failed in the game, but the rules are pretty even between kicking and receiving, maybe slightly favoring receiving.
SF can blame their loss on being outcoached several times in or near the red zone.
It also changes what they might have called in third down.
And that is an absolutely huge reason.
With respect to the bolded, that's only a consideration if the game is tied 35-35 or something. It was 19-19 because neither team could score. You don't base your decision on the mere possibility of 3 scoring drives in a row in this kind of game.

The first or second series for KC iirc went to 4th down and < 1 yard at their own 30 or something. If KC gets the ball first, do they go for it there knowing that failing to convert is an insta-loss?
They definitely punt. If you don't get it, the other team is already in field goal range to win the game. And you count on your better defense to force a punt against an offense that has barely functioned all night.

Chiefs beat dolphins, @ bills, @ ravens, and then the best team all yr in 49ers. Gotta hand it to them…
Don't do that. They already use their own hands too much.

Yeah it's pretty simple. If you receive the ball first, you get 3 downs to accomplish your goal. If you receive the ball second, you get 4 downs and it makes a lot of decisions easier.
