  1. You can get busts at WR in the early to mid first round, you can find pretty good guys late in the first round or even the 2nd round or 3rd round historically. If someone presents you with a deal to move up that you can't pass up, then do it to get a higher rated guy. But I don't overpay to move up, or maybe even 'pay up' to market rate. As others have said, you aren't totally devoid of weapons right now. Sure you'd like another one but its not sinking the team. Also, its obvious this year the team is in transition, this year, and likely next year, there is going to be a LOT of opportunity to fill spots on this roster for the next few years. Beane has some misses drafting high, but also has made some good picks in the middle rounds. I want as many 'lottery ticket' middle round picks to see how many of those spots/holes can be filled around the entire roster.
  2. Ideally, I'd like a choice half way between choice #1 and choice #2. I don't know for sure he was a 'cancer' but I do have a feeling he wasn't GOOD for other players other than himself...and personally I'm not a fan of the flashy/big celebration/social media posting players (I'm more comfortable with the 'do your job' and 'act like you've been there before' guys.) I for sure think he is a declining talent.
  3. I'm going to make a general statement here.... Most of the younger guys on WGR (and I like them most of the time better than Schopp and Bulldog) tend to like and support players that are active on social media, ones that can be or have the potential to be more controversial...stuff like that. Yes, they are into analytics and a lot of times have think rationally, but I swear sometimes they will give the benefit of the doubt, or slightly over-rate a player if they are simply a 'name' known around the league, or are someone who is a bit of a diva compared to someone else who just goes to work, plays football and goes home. To each their own, but I prefer the latter. Sure, I'm on the message boards and check Twitter everyday, but I do so for some conversation and news, the posting for the sake of posting by athletes, the 'promoting their brand', just isn't for me. I get it some people like that, but I'd just as much rather not have that on the team I root for, all else being equal.
  4. Guessing here but: 1. You are looking to get the best deal. They were the only ones that offered you something or at least to the level they did. 2. You think Digg is declining. Maybe, MAYBE he doesn't decline that much this year or has a bounce-back season. But you aren't worried that much about this year as this is a re-tooling/get under the cap year for the Bills. Next year (2025) is the year you load back up, and by then, you are SURE Diggs is on the dowside and no longer making the Texans that much better. 3. You think you matchup with Houston well with or without Diggs, but anything you can do to have someone else knock-off the Chiefs or Bengals before you see them in the playoffs is a plus.
  5. Many of us have been saying for over a year now that he lost a step or two and it was noticable. This may not be terrible for Miami, they look like they may have a lot of new pieces and maybe a vet in the secondary will help them back there, but I can't imagine he will be anything other than even a another half step slower than he was here last year.
  6. And more athletic. Are the players that come, will they be better than Poyer and Hyde, for example? Maybe not, but I don't think it'll be a huge drop off. I have heard a lot this offseason about big plays Poyer and Hyde made, even this year. But I have 2 questions when you are dealing with 30+ year old guys in the secondary....They made those plays in the past, but here another year, and another year older, would they be able to make them again? And 2nd, Those are the plays they made...how many plays did they NOT make that someone younger/faster might have had they been in their place?
  7. I am not too interested in this, but I the little of what I have looked into it the less I understand exactly what it is going to be and what it will give me that I don't already have. I've been tuning out of watching sports for years. Ironicially, the one 'major' us sport that gets the least major attention (NHL) is the only one that I am watching more (a little more, but not a lot more). As for the Rest, the Bills are really the only NFL team I watch anymore (I haven't evne watched much of the other playoffs and don't know if/how much I will watch of the superbowl). MLB and NBA I hvaen't watched a full game of in years.
  8. Coaching isn't perfect but its good enough. Personally I wish McDermott would employ more of a m2m defense rather than so much zone..but he is who he is. QB is great, one of the top 5 in the league and on his best day might be the best. You are going to have 'good Josh' days and 'bad Josh' days but on the good days he's basically unstoppable. OL is slightly improved from last year, but that just makes them just average-to-above average. WR's are an issue. For me I truly think Diggs is closer to 'done' than to 'good'. Defense is fine. It would be great to have an Elite pass rusher next year, and I want both safeties to be younger/faster, but WHEN HEALTY they are good enough to win with a Healthy Josh Allen heading the offense. All teams deal with injuries. I truly think this team just had too many key ones on the Defense to get by with. They have the talent, they had 'good enough' coaching. They just did't have enough depth.
  9. I'm ready to move on. Bring in some young guys with more athleticism. Will they be as good mentally at reading the offense? No, but that is a tradeoff you make now.....less $$, more athleticism.
  10. Unless there was a major injury Diggs was hiding, he might not even be that good of a #2 receiver the way he played. Less speration than usual, not as many moves after the catch to get that extra couple of yards....he just looked very 'ehh'. There is real chance that age/workload has caught up to him and he is on a quick slide down in terms of usefulness.
  11. Constant worrying? Its the FIRST thing I said on this forum all week about any problems they may face, anything negative chances they have at all in the playoffs, so look at who you are replying to before you make a comment like that and tell me to 'get off' something. Second, it is a concern. its a regular NFL week? Well we have all seen stats that teams that are on a shorter week by 2 days or more vs teams that are not fair WORSE in the following game.
  12. Really early look at Monday 4:30pm weather....18 degrees at kickoff, wind chill at 6 degrees....still kinda windy 10-15mph, but no where near as bad as tomorrow would be. Chance of light snow (2-3 inches for the whole day in Orchard Park on Monday).
  13. That is one of the first things I thought of.... if it had to be done, it had to be done. But that is going to be a huge competitive disadvantage for the winner. The team that the Bills (or Steelers) will play next week will have 1.5-2 days more to prepare, to rest..etc.
  14. If Kincaid is your #1 going forward, Knox is still a very good #2 TE. Are you overpaying him? Sure, but any cap hit you take isn't going to be worth getting rid of him. Miller and White...yeah, not sure what can be done there but it looks like they are basically going to be non-factors for this team going forward.
  15. If all the NFL teams have to play international games every couple of years, can't Buffalo just stake claim to Canada? Sure most have bad memories of the Toronto series, but Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, ANYWHERE but Europe. I'd volunteer for Canadian games to see if could avoid getting 'drafted' to do Europe.
