fake news... quietly walks away sh*t lol

Agreed. The only player on offense they have truly moved for in round 1 was Josh. Other then that its been defense or draft while in position.

1000% agree and it is why drafting 2 WRs rnds 2-3 along with adding a Chalk or even ODB seems like the only real way to eliminate some of those IFs and Hopefullys. Hinging on a single rookie seems really dangerous production wise. Either you have an elite talent or 2 to beat a great opponent OR you have enough truly good talent that it is pick your poison when they look at your offense. As currently constructed the Bills have neither on offense, you cannot count on someone emerging. I think Shakir Kincaid Cook offered a ton to like, but realistically you need either a blue chip WR the way Diggs was or two more guys to move the needle the way we hope.

I am hoping that the WR corp can be like 2019 where Beasley and Brown came in and gave established solid production. Thing with that is Smoke still went for 1000 yds 6 TDs which for a rookie would be pretty impressive. But if between two rookies shakir samuel kincaid the end of year stat line is this I am happy with it (no order of who): 75 rec 925 yds 6 TDs 69 rec 855 yds 5 TDs 50 rec 625 yds 7 TD 47 rec 565 yds 3 TD 43 rec 510 yds 4 TDs 3480 yds 25 TDs That isn't including Knox or RB etc.. but something like that would be solid even without a 1000 yd guy or anyone over 80 rec

Honestly I think if the board kind of falls as predicted where BT would be gone before we can get him I would trade back to try and have at least 3 2nds/3rd and draft two WRs there AND maybe even take a flyer on Chark or even ODB for a year. I really would prefer a to insulate the position as much as possible. I just don't see the Bills getting a proven established WR OR one of the Top 3 WRs so to me you need to take a few guys and hope maybe one turns out while having a proven guy also to step up.

Mock drafts, media analysis, bills fans, etc.. everyone has the Bills doing things to address the WR position with Diggs leaving and the larger hole that is now created. Realistically outside of a trade for a Aiyuk or Tee Higgins type player where it is established WR with a track record of production, the WR position will be a question and probably still an area of concern. Even if the Bills move up to draft one of the big three WRs there will be a question of immediate production and adjustment to the NFL. If the Bills move back and draft 2 WRs in rounds 2-3 your at least initially expectation wise at a lower starting point compared to one of the big three guys. The production Diggs had given even with the drop the back half of the season and the now loss of him and Davis production also is going to be a question for everyone and those stepping in. Is there a scenario for you that makes you comfortable with the position moving forward?

Agreed but I believe it is part of their mandatory overseas agreement. Obviously overseas week 1 stinks but I guess you can have a good viewing party and the rest of the year not have to worry about it

lol I am not sure if the final four is even in my top 10. In general I have found CBB increasingly boring, could just be me or less time having kids now. Also even though I am a NOVA fan for CBB who have been good for a long time, locally Cuse has fallen, UB stinks, Bona is up and down, etc... just haven't had much to root for locally to give me a vested interest But for fun this is my top 5 of sporting events (not including bills): 1. NHL playoffs (hockey is my favorite sport) 2. NFL playoffs 3. NFL opening night/NFL opening weekend in general - tied here 4. CFB thanksgiving weekend 5. Masters

That is where I am. "oh Shakir will step up and do this" "Kincaid is gonna be Kelce" "draft pick X and Z will explode" etc.. its hype and excitement but reality can be quite different. Robert Foster was nothing in 2019, it was the establishment of Beasley/Brown that allowed Josh to take a next step. The truth is the Bills offense had a higher baseline with Diggs then without him and it is 1000% possible the hype that people keep throwing all over just fails the match up. Just because Diggs is gone doesn't mean the replacement is equal and it very well can be worse. It is great they have some nice draft capital the next two years and 2025 they have more cap space, but they currently have the worst skill group at pass catcher since 2018 and even if Josh elevates them they are starting at a tough climb.

Tupac is coming back?!?!?

"Will fans still try to jump in the pit"

Nope we make final decisions today, its over pack it up lol

The offense is worse at multiple positions, the defense healthy may be equal or better. The problem is the offense matters wayyyy more and right now the cupboard is as bare as it has been for Josh since 2018 (it is not that bad for the record but certainly is rough). People really need to soften their expectations for the offense as even with two new WRs who could be drafted in the first 3 rounds it typically takes a year just for a player to get seasoned, the o line is in transition with Morse gone, they have a new OC, and even if everything is perfect it still takes time to gel. On paper this is easily the worst the team has been since 2019 and a wildcard is probably a solid season at this point.

Having a franchise QB means you always have a chance... but the size of that chance varies based off the roster and what your going against. Right now the Bills are at best a wildcard team as they seemingly reset the roster. Betting that young players will come in the draft and be immediate impact players is fools gold. Sure maybe 25-26 the impact becomes real, but it takes a good season to truly learn the way of the NFL and with that unless they bring in another top target the offense is limited even with Josh. I am bracing for a non playoff year and if they even make the playoffs it will feel like a positive.

Is it possible to learn such power? (#starwarsreference)

Tom C was the one time they had a guiding force and vision which the results justified. Doug is a good coach but Baalke is a joke of a GM and until he is out I think they will just keep treading water.

They did have 7 primetime games last year, but the real killer was the three straight at night THEN 4 straight 4pm games with one more primetime game. 22' they had 7 primetime games including thanksgiving, but they only had a single 4 pm game which was far better and the primetime games were spaced out minus the Rams opener and Titans the next week. The fact the middle of the season was their worst stretch of play AND the large amount of non 1 pm games really pushed the limits haha

This is not the opening game which will be KC v someone. This is the 2nd game the next night which the NFL is trying to market by the peacock crap again. Lucky for me I could care less and will be at a concert outdoors ignoring their BS again

I wish the Bills could be the 4pm Thanksgiving game if it has to happen. We drive from Buffalo to Roc for our 2nd dinner which starts at 4 and the year of the Dallas game was basically one massive awesome Bills party. Unfortunately if they play Thanksgiving day its either Detroit or a standalone game at night. Black Friday I actually would not mind as it was kinda cool having a game that day and with CFB imploding their traditional rivalry games or not having as many that day I am ok with the NFL in that spot.

That isn't an option haha but I agree

I picked Thanksgiving as week 1 I really prefer Sunday at 1 and having to wait is the worst especially after doing it last year

The NFL has announced they are playing two games Christmas Day meaning the prior weekend on Saturday four teams will also play then. The NFL plays three games on Thanksgiving and at least one on Black Friday. Finally week 1 the NFL has at least one Sunday Night game and Monday Night game with the possibility of a second Monday Night Game. Odds are the Bills being a top 10 team will be in one of these slots this year, which would you pick with that being the case.

The biggest anger which I do get is that if you do not keep the seats you have then you go to the back of everyone until all STHs either renew or also opt. So you will have people that are 20 year STH that are moved to the end of the line because they can't afford their current seats and that could mean they may not get a seat at all. Coming from Rochester my brother law and I are splitting tickets. Drops the cost in half as we each do 3-4 games and we sell 1 or 2. I can tell you a lot of people will do the same and have zero issue with the cost with it split; those who say it is too much will be replaced (as heartless as that sounds, that is the attitude from the team at this point).

My guess is the club seats were a test balloon for what they could charge and they are basing decisions off of that. Vast majority of people are not club so they probably are seeing what the sentiment is

Bye Affordable will be cheap tickets most can afford. The teams version of affordable vs ours is drastically different unfortunately. But the team is also good now so it’s at a premium. When the up and down days someday return more will be back at a lower price.
