not reading this entire thread, so apologies if i repeat something from earlier. Why arent we winning Super Bowls? we play in the same conference as, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. thats it, its just that ez. Chefs have a hall of fame offensive coach/QB. we have a defensive coach. so Billsy for us to finally get rid of Brady, find a once in a generation talent at QB, and we get stuck playing 2nd fiddle to the new Goat, and his unstoppable offensive genius coach. its the same way the rest of the league felt during the Brady/Manning era. if you werent fans of the Pats or Indy/Denver, then you might was well just call it a season from week 1. least we get mostly entertaining football in the regular season. if only we were in the NFC right now.

cant ask for much more than that start right there. ive seen enough, get the starters out.

that Diggs guy seems like he can catch.

like everyday then?

oh ffs, hes done. sucks.

damn even the commercials didnt show up for the game ready.

he should reply the same way John Mckay did for the Bucs years ago "im all for it"

lol Barkley.

lookin like mbe that rumor about Peters might need to be more than a rumor. Tackles looks bad.

gonna miss RJ so much.

u cant, at least not right now. you eventually fire the coach, make him the scapegoat and hope a new hire can somehow turn these guys around.

yep thats AJ, almost, all the time, almost

lol, yawn.

who at One Bills Drive do i send the bill for the hour i just wasted watching this team? also, ty Sam Martin, for the one bright spot. overpaid millionaires who cant do the basics..

people seem to forget that for a RB to be successful, you need much more than just the RB. how often do you see top RBs switch teams and continue to be successful? hell, they rarely stay successful on their original team for an extended period of time anymore. there is a reason why RBs are valued so low now. you need 5 other guys to also help make that RB be good. Zeke was on fire his first few years for the Cowboys. helped that the they had one of the best OLines in the league at that point. injuries, guys moving on, suddenly Zeke cant RB anymore. the biggest problem with the NFL running game now is the majority of college teams dont use a power running game anymore, mostly spread offenses, which leads to a glut of OLinemen that cant block for that kind of run game. college has become a wide open passing fest cuz its easier to teach pass blocking quickly to young kids. Wiscy employs the power running game because its tradition, also a tradition of zero competent QB play. Taylor appears to be good, just how many NFL lines are built for what he can do though? im sure this is about money, it usually is, and im sure theres a team out there that is just desperate enough to make a move for him, will they have a line that can accommodate Taylor and continue to make him look good? highly unlikely. either way, must suck to be a Colts fan atm.

Rodgers did see Mike White have his soul removed by Milano twice in one game last season behind that atrocious OLine right? im sure ARod is that aware right? should be funny.

on paper, no, the AFCE is not being overhyped. however, we see each offseason teams that win the offseason and seemingly get better, but crap out. AFCWest comes to mind last year. alot goes into being a good team, luck, hard work, intelligent coaching, etc, etc. some of that you cant control no matter how much money you spend. every team in the league is 1 or 2 key injuries away from being terrible tbh. we wont know whos actually legit until the games are played, but on paper, sure the AFCE looks to be really tough this coming season.

sounds like McD was genuinely shaken by that conversation with Diggs. makes sense with how McD responded that day to the media. ive had zero issue with Diggs his entire tenure here. he balls out as hard as he can 24/7. hes a team leader, does the dirty work, and gives a sh!t. the Bengals playoff loss was so friggen terrible that i felt the same way Diggs apparently did at the time. i said it back when it happened, least it seemed like he cared while the rest of the team looked like they could care less. cant fault the guy for wanting to win and possibly questioning wtf is happening with the organization. ill take a guy who is legit passionate about winning, shows his emotions a bit, over somebody whos just going through the motions to collect his paycheck waiting on the offseason to come. if he becomes a locker room cancer, then you show him the door. highly doubt it comes to that, Diggs isnt that kind of guy imo.

Carson Wentz played at an MVP level for an nearly an entire season till he got hurt. one year doesnt mean much imo. we'll see how well Hurtz does with a full season of tape on him. he better hope that amazing OLine stays healthy.

one mans fear mongering is another mans pragmatism. Josh needs to be Josh, but, Cam was considered indestructible as well, and it didnt last. all it takes is one shoulder injury on a goal line dive, or one head injury, or etc etc etc. getting older in the NFL is no joke. bodies start to break down overnight for some. while Josh is indeed an ironman up till this point, you never know. what really needs to change is the line needs to give him hours to sit back there and sling the ball with a clean pocket, the thing that made Brady and is making Mahomes look so good. we need receivers to get separation, a running game that is a threat, playcalling that doesnt rely on Josh making plays with his legs. this team needs Josh in the game, uninjured. the offense dropped off when the UCL hit, as expected. yes that was in the pocket, but it shows just how much this team relies on Josh being Josh. 3rd and 2, 13 seconds left, win or go home game? go be an athlete Josh. 3rd and 2, 8 minutes left in 1st quarter vs anybody regular season, caution. nothing wrong with being cautious.

good dude, marginal player. ez pz.

cant wait till its an elite player, one of the ones that you cant just say, hey, dis guy is a nobody, waive his ass. will be a bit different when its a top player. its inevitable.

exactly what i thought at the time watching Diggs blow up at Allen. the team as a whole looked so lethargic, so uninterested in the game, that i was fine with Diggs acting like a player who gave a s&#t compared to the rest of them. not saying they didnt, but man it looked bad.

to go 13-3 with a first year offensive coordinator, and a defensive HC who obviously doesnt help much with the offense, is no small thing, especially taking into account all the extra stuff that went on last season. Bills O started out fast, i imagine with a large dose of what they knew from the previous seasons O helping. Dorsey gets more comfortable, starts to add more of himself into the offense as time goes on, injuries happen, O becomes limited, then stagnate. still managed 13 wins. imma give Dorsey some rope. lets see what happens. the hate, whether its for a player, coach, whatever, is just something people do to try and cope with perceived failure of something theyre invested in. somebody has to be the fall guy. when in reality, if you look at things objectively, with a level head, and look at both the positives and negatives of a situation, you can make a more informed decision or opinion on something, and not look like a fool. lashing out emotionally rarely ever leads to a positive ending. also, keep in mind, eventually defenses/coaches get enough tape on a new coordinator, what his tendencies are, they adjust. if the coordinator cant adjust likewise, well, not going to be as easy. happens with players also. i wonder if Dorsey just didnt adjust enough, or were his hands tied by personnel and injuries. Josh's UCL injury was a bigger deal then was let on. defenses knew it and adjusted their gameplans. you could see it.

could very well be this ^. same thing happened in Minnesota. he got tired of the offense and Kirk and wanted out. now Josh is definitely not Cousins, but theres something here clearly. whether its personal between Diggs and Josh, or its an offensive thing, who knows. need to get this figured out before the season starts. McD and Beane are concerned. so that tells me that they dont really know whats upsetting Diggs. that tells me its a personal issue between Diggs and Josh, that the two of them need to work out. Coach and GM cant do much about that.
