  1. I understand the reasoning, but it has that same stench of NBA superstars skipping out on the dunk contest, trying to protect their image.

     

    Or for a more apples to apples comparison, players sitting out their bowl game to protect draft stock.

     

    It won't hurt him at all, it just looks weak to nonathletic, amateur, know-nothing dorks sitting at home & judging from the sideline like myself....

    It's the ankle socks.   Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison, Issac Bruce, etc. were all slim/lean guys.

     

    That definitely adds to it. But those early season highlights really stood out, as it looked like he was wearing this oversized helmet vs those super skinny legs.

     

    Also looks like he gained weight over the season. Maybe it's in my head, but by the end of the video he looked like he filled out quite a bit.

  3. I will never be against improving the OL!

     

    Even if I'd like them to be looking for a young WR1 to eventually take over for Diggs, protecting Josh is just as important. 

     

    The Chiefs spent quite a few picks on linemen & now have a solid core of guys. I'd be thrilled for us to do the same.

  4. My first thoughts were "wow, only a 6th?!" but I really don't think Fields is very good...

     

    I still think Russ will get the starting job in Pittsburgh, so this is just an insurance policy. He's interesting for the running element to his game, but otherwise he puts up Tyrod passing numbers.

    You think these are equivalent😂😂

     

    You're the one who posted the first image, completely disregarding everything I said.

     

    Oh no, Diggs got mad on the sidelines 2 years ago! How terrible of him!

     

    Point is, competitive players get mad on the sidelines. Big deal. The fact you thought that was relevant at all to what I said is bizarre. We were talking about "cryptic tweets," hence the title of the thread.

     

    I literally said "with the league's storied history of diva WRs, this barely registers" and you responded with an image of him yelling on the sidelines. The fact YOU think that's "equivalent" is what's funny.

  6. I will neither "face it" or "deal with it."

     

    This is like people saying the 2017 Bills were set because they had Kelvin Benjamin, Brandon Tate, Zay Jones and Deonte Thompson... but this time we have 31 year old Stefon Diggs, too!

     

    But we have Dalton Kincaid! Oh yeah? Well they had Logan Thomas who put up 72 receptions, 670 yards & 6 TDs his first year with Washington! 😉

     

    We NEED more young, ELITE talent. The draft is where we have to look.

  7. He's not out there in the media, constantly in front of the cameras yapping on about the QB, teammates or the organization, yet people act like he's sooooooo much drama.

     

    Just accept he likes the social media attention. He's probably chilling with friends saying, "Watch, all I gotta do is post 2 or 3 random words & suddenly thousands of people start freaking out."

     

    Is that immature or annoying? Some people will definitely think so. But with the league's storied history of diva WRs, this barely registers.

    Nope. Samuel is a predominantly a Slot. Has been so his entire career. You can split him out Wide from time to time, but he's not a guy you can exclusively play there.

    So the Bills basically have all slot receivers... even Kincaid was drafted saying he'd run in the slot. 

     

    And at this point in his career, even Diggs might be better off in the slot 😅

    Maybe Curtis Samuel? Or (dream scenario) find a way to trade for Brandon Aiyuk since he's on the last year of his contract, wants to get paid soon, and are cap situation will be much better next year if we want to find a way to extend him? Yeah right... wishful thinking, but a man can dream!

     

     

    YAY! I got like... half my wish!

  10. This is not the year to do this.

     

    I know, I know, we all want to win NOW. But we took our shot with Von Miller & co., and fans seem unhappy or unwilling to accept the reality of our situation.

     

    There are too many holes, and we've got too much money tied up in existing contracts. Obviously people are learning that "the cap isn't real," wasn't exactly true.

     

    So as we watch the Bills scrape the bottom of the FA barrel & high profile players go elsewhere, people are understandably looking ahead to the draft. Sure, the Bills are likely to trade up at various points in the draft, but only in the later rounds.

     

    A bunch of 4th, 5th & 6th round picks are only going to help you move around so much, mainly within the same round. With the Bills only having a single pick on day 1 & day 2, they're more likely to trade back than move up imo. The team also is trying to get significantly younger, so they'll need as many of these picks as they can get.

     

    I could see them being more aggressive next year, but this off-season will be less splashy... draft included.

  11. Hell yeah! This was one of the few players I actually named as people I wanted!

     

    I think he'll be very successful here if he can stay healthy.

     

    2022 - 64 rec / 656 yards / 4 TDs

    2023 - 62 rec / 613 yards / 4 TDs

     

    Obviously not the numbers Gabe Davis put up, but also - he was playing in Washington.

  12. Eh, we get one of these guys every year. Only this time they were even cheaper (because we're broke).

     

    John Brown

    Cole Beasley

    Emmanuel Sanders

    Jamison Crowder

    Trent Sherfield

    Mack Hollins

     

    Oh shoot, we're going backwards... 🫢

    Falling behind KC????

     

    How?????

     

     

    I wouldn't say we're "falling behind," but the Chiefs definitely have the advantage (again).

     

    -KC as-is was good enough to win the Super Bowl already

    -Their biggest needs are tackle & WR, and they've got the money to pursue one while drafting the other.

    -Resigned Chris Jones.

    -Now have $15.3 million in cap space.

    -Just like we expect for our players, it's fair to expect many of their young guys will improve after another season.

     

    Here's some of their recent draft picks that have become starters & will likely improve even more -

     

    Offense:

     

    Rashee Rice WR (2023 2nd round

    Wayna Morse LT (2023 3rd round)

    Isiah Pacheco RB (2022 7th round)

    Creed Humphrey C (2021 2nd round) - 2nd team All Pro, 2 x Pro Bowl

    Trey Smith RG (2021 6th round)

     

    Defense:

     

    Trent McDuffie CB (2022 1st round) - 1st team All Pro

    George Karlaftis DE (2022 1st round)

    Bryan Cook SS (2022 2nd round)

    Nick Bolton MLB (2021 2nd round)

     

    Their OL is mostly young draft picks, their defense was #2 in ypg & resigned their best player, and they've got more money to spend. Not only that, they've got that Super Bowl credibility that'll attract players easier like the Pats were able to do. The Bills have less money, older team, key players coming off injuries, and only made it to the divisional round. That's saying nothing about the obvious coaching disadvantage.

    What was Milano?  I can do this ALL day point to late round picks contributing.  Not all Positions need top picks (really only QBs)

     

    5th round, but we all know the likelihood of a late round guy panning out vs guys in the top 3 rounds is quite significant.

     

    I'm not even disagreeing that we can't find guys in the late rounds, only that it's not a smart bet to assume you'll get multiple starters out of 5th, 6th & 7th round guys. Earlier this year I was listing off all the great WRs that came from later rounds, so I'm all about that.

     

    But there's a good reason 1st, 2nd & 3rd round picks are valued so much higher than last day draft picks.

    Draft

    Draft

    Draft

     

    11 picks 

     

    The Bills have:

     

    1 x 1st rounder

    1 x 2nd rounder

    2 x 4th rounders

    3 x 5th rounders

    3 x 6th rounders

    1 x 7th rounder

     

    Are we really relying on 7 x 5th round picks to all be signed & fill our roster needs? Plenty of those will be bundled to move around in the draft, but 5th/6th/7th rounders aren't netting you too much either way.

     

    Then again, our 6th & 7th round CBs contributed more than our 1st round CB, so maybe we'll get lucky.

  16. No, we have nowhere near enough "elite" talent.

     

    Elite:

    1. Josh Allen

    2. Matt Milano (when healthy)

     

    Maybe Elite:

    1. Stefon Diggs - Used to be elite, but age or commitment is slowing him down

    2. Ed Oliver - Great season last year, but didn't make an impact in the KC game (unlike Chris Jones on the opposite side of the field)

     

    There are some good players a tier below, but not "elite."

     

    Go back a few years, and White, Hyde & Poyer would definitely be on that list. And with our cap situation, Beane will have to draft extremely well this year to fix that issue.
