    Elam gets to much hate he is probably our biggest and most athletic DB and hasn’t looked terrible out there.

     

    I wouldn’t be giving him up for pennies he’s 22 years old 

     

    you always need DBs as well so we would just be drafting a 5th-7th rounder to replace him or signing an old vet no thanks 

     

     

     

    I fully agree, I understand it should be a certain level of frustration with him, but some talk like he is worthless. He's had some flashes here and there, also I for one thought that INT he made in the EZ against Steelers in the playoffs was a damn good play.

    He is a fun follow, just keep Damars name out your mouth

    Did yall hear his response? Talking about he'll get butt rped ? but by someone other than him. ?

    Really a sad storyc, dude was on pace to being a top 5 - 10 WR all time and devolved into an awful rapper/Internet troll

     

    If he was mentally "ok" even, he'd likely be playing for a contender this season.. Sad

     

    Yeah, I don't bother wasting any time paying attention to these sort of ignorant things....

     

    When hearing about the anal rape comment it kinda reminded me of back when Mike Tyson talked about eating someones children

    McClappy lost to “Pey-A-ton” and that mess of a team at home because he can’t be bothered to count anymore either 

     

    That was unacceptable especially from an experienced HC that has been talked up as one of the top....

     

    Also it could be considered a blessing in disguise because if Bills won Dorsey would have stayed around longer. I'm not sure if Bills go on that winning streak with Dorsey.

    Not even close? This is just factually wrong. We got the exact comparison you're making just last season. Tre White was at least at 80% last season. And that best game you talk about? It wasn't better than Douglas' best game. The games that weren't that game, he wasn't playing at the level that Douglas was for us prior to going down in Miami.

     

    He didn't fully return to form with any sort of consistency before the Achilles injury. And now he'll be coming back from that too. He's a complete question mark at this point. There's no saying he'll even be 80% of what he was. It's incorrect to say that he was better than Douglas last year and insane to say he definitively will be when he returns.

     

    Not trying to get all up in you guys conversation, but just wanted to say Benford is emerging as the best corner imo. Of course you can't leave out T. Johnson either

    Because he always has.

     

    He was still playing at an extremely high level in the 10 games he played in 2022 at age 33.

     

    If we get 80% of that 10 game in 2022 Von Miller, it's better than "some of the younger guys."  And who exactly are "some of the younger guys" you're referring to?

     

    I just think he may be at that point in his career that this time may be different. And yes I agree he did play well those 10 games in 2022 at 33yo. Now this is 2024 and age 35. May not seem like much, but those 2 years from 33 to 35 can be a bigger difference than it seems. Don't get me wrong, I hope he does but I just have my doubts.

     

     

    The younger guys I was thinking of was obviously AJE, Kingsley played hard when he got opportunities

    It wasn't just 8 or 9 games to round back into form after his last injury.  It was 6 games and then an entire offseason and then however many games in 2023 you would argue it took him in 2024.

     

    Von now has an entire offseason to get his body right and recover.

     

    You're actually convincing me even more that cutting Von simply won't happen.  It's clear you think it's strictly his age as the reason he's "shot."  You've hitched your wagon to that idea, and that's fine.

     

    Brandon Beane signed him to a contract that very clearly intended to keep him for at least 3 years, plus the previous restructure.

     

    Von Miller is not getting cut.  He'll have the offseason to recover and get right and then we get to see what percent of the old Von he is in 2024.

    I'm just not sure what it is that would make you feel confident enough at this point in his career he can return to perform very much better than some of the younger guys

    I don't dispute the final point - to be clear. But Von is toast. I'll happily eat crow if he isn't but I put the chances he is back at less than 5%. 

     

    I also don't have any issue moving on from both. But I'd probably try and find a pay cut I can live with for Tre first.

     

     

    Yeah I think so too. Think probably at this point they'd end up better off to move on

    Is it me or does Diggs look like he gained weight? His face looks a little different.

     

    Maybe he lost motivation when Brady came onboard and cut down his downfield routes, started mailing it in a little.

     

    Then he couldn't turn the focus back on when needed to on the few deep shots he got late in the year...

     

    If anything, I'd guess it's probably that he's getting older and at that part in his career when a player starts to lose a lil juice or whatever.

     

    But anyones guess is as good as mine I assume

    Why do so many people not care about Diggs? Disrespect him? Think so poorly of him?

     

    Go to a game. He is on the field warming up with as much passion as anyone. He talks to the crowd, he makes the game special for many people - especially children. The dude wears his heart on his sleeve for each game and remains a higher end talent at WR.

     

    It's weird - especially because he is the only WR we have going into next season.

     

    It may seem that way now, but I wouldn't be shocked if something happens and he won't be.

    I mean, dude literally broke a leg. Can't hold that against him.

     

     

    I think most QBs who are average at best would likely have a good chance to put up better stats with all the level of talent  Burrow has had. Similar to the Brock Purdy type treatment.

     

    I don't think Burrow is as good many believe he is.

    I'm not sure where one could find this information, but I'd be willing to bet that Bass has more trouble when kicking in cold weather (lets say 30 degrees or below). 

    For example, he missed two extra points in the perfect game. It should have been 49-17, not 47. 

    He shanked one last week in the cold.....he's from SC, kicked at Georgia Southern.....maybe we need a cold weather kicker?

     

    I don't think it's because of cold weather. I think he's just not that good. Not nearly as good as many thought couple seasons ago

    You are talking about the same play…the play where diggs was open for a short gainer Shakir was absolutely wide open for a td 😂. Which is why I’m telling you the throw to diggs there didn’t make a lot of sense with how well the chiefs defense responded in that second half 

     

    the throw to shakir was probably even easier than the throw to diggs tbh…there was no defender to effect the throw 

     

     

    No, one I'm talking about wasn't Diggs. Can't remember if it was Shikar or maybe Kincaid coming across open. I'm trying to see if I can find the particular play I'm referring to.

    Great logic Einstein.

     

    Apples and oranges.

     

    Bass had two FG attempts in the game and horribly missed on one. 

     

    He practices daily in the stadium with the conditions present, and in his own words " I Misjudged my kick".

     

    He wasn't responsible for the loss, BUT he certainly was responsible for the Bills not making it to overtime!

     

     

    Yeah I don't know what's going on with him. Last week he very badly missed what usually is an automatic 27yd FG

    It doesn’t make sense because shakir is wide freakin open for a td lol. Y’all are talking like it was a 50/50 jump ball type play 😂. That throw to diggs even if it was unaffected by Dawkins getting backed into josh at the last second probably gets stopped short meaning you need another big 4th down conversion then multiple other conversions to possibly do what one throw to shakir would’ve done.  ‘Keeping the drive going’ means nothing if you can’t get in the end zone and the way the flow of the game was going, it’s more likely we don’t pick up those tough short yardage plays.  

    That's not the play I'm talking about....I will see if I can find the ones I'm talking about. There were 2 instances (1 ended up punting, other was FG attempt I believe) that would have been a 1st down had Josh taken it

  14. Just now, Generic_Bills_Fan said:

    This still makes no sense to me…you couldn’t bleed the clock for a gw fg in that situation like we have seen in games past…the chiefs defense was getting the best of us late and you absolutely take the open td if it’s there.  
     

    this hindsight over analysis is going overboard…even if he takes that throw to diggs there’s still a very good chance we get held out of the end zone and lose the game then we’d all be here saying ‘why would he pass up a wide open td we were playing not to lose’ yada yada 

     

    If it doesn't make sense then I don't know what to tell ya, also why do you assume they bleed the clock for a FG? You take what the D gives you and multiple times there were WRs crossing wide open that would easily gotten 1st down to keep the drive going.

    Images below show the release of the pass (left) and a moment later (right). There was no way Diggs was getting that first down. Diggs is a terrible YAC guy and had two defenders squared up between him and and the line to gain.

    Not sure we are talking about the same play. There was 2 times in particular I recall that a WR was open crossing that would have been a 1st down and Josh didn't take it
