Most people here had very few nice things to say about Diggs when he left, despite him being the most productive Bills receiver in history over his tenure. I said at the time that we had created an unecessary gap on the team by dumping him, but it didn't take 5 minutes for everyone to jump on the eVeRyBoDy eAtS! hype train. You don't just replace #1 WRs at will. A lot of teams don't even have one.

I think 2023 was our best shot. We were one good throw away from winning that game and we had the horses to beat The Ravens and SF Had we beaten KC last year, I think we would have been murdered by Philly.

We tried the high flying approach for 7 years and never really got close. Some people choose to imagine scenarios where we would've won theSB one of those years had a, b, and c happened and x, y, z not happened, but I'm not one of them. I think the difference between our drought era teams and where we are right now is a similar delta as the one between those AFCCG teams/13 seconds teams and a SB Championship. It's an entirely different tier of roster construction and situational execution that we've never seen in the history of the franchise. At times we've had one, but never both.

Yup. The exception doesn't prove the rule.

It's what worked for Brady, Mahomes, Manning, and countless others. If you want a high flying offense, enjoy the division championships and early playoff exits.

It's championship style football. We tried 7 years of letting Josh be superman and it was never good enough when the games mattered. Championship teams, and more importantly Dynasties, control the clock from the get-go. Josh is going throw growing pains in this style, which is the same way he was struggling when Dorsey was doing the same thing. He's going to need to figure out how to get past it. The way to win with a guy like Josh is for him to make a handful of big plays in the biggest spots, not on every drive. When the Patriots and Brady were at their best, they were downright boring to watch. When they aired it out all over the place, they usually came up short int he big moments. Do we have the right play caller/play designer for an offense like that? Probably not. That's the problem, not the strategy.

I missed the game because of a gig. I also missed the Atlanta game because I was traveling. They're the first two games I've missed since the radio blackout days. Loss is on me boys.

Except for the interception he got this year that won us the first Miami game. There was also a massive fumble he created last year on mark Andrews in the playoffs

The Bills could lose out and I'd bet every cent of my net worth that both McDermott and Beane are back next year.

Oh no, we lost a football game! What about last week when it aged to perfection? You can always count on a Bills fan to find one example of a time something didn't work out in their life and build an entire philosophy on it. Thanks for being predictably you, fellas.

I think people underestimate the responsibilities of the role that Hoecht had. Why doesn't every team have a guy doing that? In addition to needing to be an athletic freak, you also need to be extremely smart. Your responsibilities may shift on the fly and you need to be able to shift from pass to Run in an instant. Hoecht went to Brown where he studied business and economics (one of the top business schools in the country) and tutored calculus. Alexander went to Cal-Berkley where he studied Law (one of the top law schools in the country). I'm not saying Dorian is a dummy. He didn't take a classic athlete type major (Tulane - Homeland Security Studies ?), but I'm just saying that there's a pattern of really bright dudes playing that spot, and I'm not sure I've seen him pop off the screen with diagnosing plays throughout his career.

It's pro sports. Everyone is enhancing their performance as much as they can and trying not to get caught. It's all part of the game. If they want to take a dead cap hit of $9.5M, sure. Why would they? He looked like our best defensive player when on the field.

That's a tough SOB. Pure clowning right here. People just say ***** these days.

That's not typically what teams do in the playoffs. If any team wants to sell out to stop the run against one of the best players to ever throw a football who's in his prime, I'd welcome them to do so. We don't have Spencer Rattler under center, we have Josh ***** Allen. The reason this whole offensive philosophy works, is...

The lamest take in all of sports fandom. Good job on being the first to bring it up today. I might even say that's "secretly elite".

I'd take credit, but it was as predictable as the dawn.

Allen has more "best friends" than I have bottles of whisky. He'll get over it. Matt Barkley was his "best friend" too. As was Tanner Gentry. Why can't he be best friends with someone that can play? May I suggest Justin Jefferson?

McGovern and Edwards are the only guys you need to sign there. The rest get replaced with draft picks and guys already on roster who are backfilled with UDFAs and Vet minimum guys.

If you're saying he isn't elite, you haven't been watching him play. He was arguably the best quarterback in football last year. Flacco isn't doing what he did.

There's no changing of the guard. It's just an off year for the AFC powerhouse teams, but those teams are very good. No one is going to walk all over Indy, Pitt, Denver, New England or LA. It was smart for the Colts to go all-in because their window is probably this year only. They could be the 2017 Eagles.

You say that now, but just wait until Beane signs Kingsley Johnathan tomorrow.

This makes no sense. Why would they care if Hall plays for the Bills for half a year?

Especially since Buffalo fans will add an 's' onto anyone's name. Samuels and Samuelssssss? No thanks!

pretty steep IMO for what you get here.

No. I have a problem with him being an oft-injured player who is praised for his potential more than his actual accomplishments. I'd have no problem with him as a #4 type player.
