    I would not call Coleman “twitchy”, I would call him a smooth moving athlete who can contort his body to adjust to off target throws.  He is an overall very good to excellent athlete, but instant quickness and lateral agility are not his calling card - at least to my eyes.  He will have to really improve his route running, but I don’t expect him to become an elite route runner at his size.  I think expecting him to be a difference maker or true go-to guy is pretty optimistic.  If he becomes a solid WR2 and good red-zone threat I think that is a win.  With an extra 2nd round pick and perhaps an earlier draft position, they might be in shape to get a difference making WR next year.

     

     I’m certainly not qualified to state my opinion as fact - it is just what I see when I watch him.  I am rooting for him to show me to be very wrong.

    You probably right about twitchy.  I might add I think he has a lot of dawg.

    Agree that they had no choice but to move on from Diggs.  Fixing the cap was also important.  Note that I specifically said my lack of Coleman enthusiasm was NOT his 40 time.  My concern is his ability to get open - something he didn’t show a lot of in college.  He is young and a great all-a round athlete so upside is intriguing.  If he can become a very good route runner, he might be outstanding.  Still, not a lot of guys with his profile really excel in the league.

    Coleman’s upside is very interesting.  If he can use his twitchy moves like Jefferson he’ll be a difference maker.  He will be coached up on route timing.  On contested catches he’ll win most.  If JA17 can make Zay Jones look good, Keon will make us forget about Diggs.  I think he’ll be ROTY.

    They open with a 9 game roadie and close the season at home.

    No you didn’t

    And that happened because he was in London? The Bills went on to have a very good season, including finally getting the Chiefs at home in the playoffs, a full three months after returning from the UK. They just didn’t finish…again. 

    When Matt went down, I said no Lombardi.  We did pretty good though.

    Your way of interacting with Brady does not make you a "true Bills fan".  Do you have some kind of Bills Mafia code of conduct made up in your head we all have to adhere by?  Me, I would not ask him for an autograph but I would not ask Josh Allen either.  If I found a way to shoot the s*** with either I would.

    My Mafia code has been altered somewhat from all this feedback.  I’m a lifelong learner.

  5. I’m seeing some short Fb vids of people getting autographs and selfies with the GOAT QB in public places.  I think a true Bills fan wouldn’t.  I wouldn’t. I even saw him autographing someone’s clothing who didn’t ask for it.  Now that’s a Brady move. If I was in the same elevator or sat beside him in coach (ha), I would definitely tell him I’m a member of Bills Mafia and I’m glad he’s retired.  I mean I’d have to say something, wouldn’t I?  But no autograph or selfie.  How bout you?  Would you, could you, should you?

    Well, I generally like the takes of the fella you are arguing with, but this is correct on all points I think.

    What I will say is they could not have gone big or probably even less big without sacrificing filling all the holes.

    Clearly, that is and remains Beane's recipe. It gets you to the playoffs, but you don't have the elite playmakers that help you advance.

     

    Caveat: I was fine with Kincaid. He's an excellent selection. 

    Still hoping Beane has a post 6/1 move to add a significant piece to the WR room.

     

    I think it was the right move not to sell the farm for one of the big 3 WRs.  First, they might be a bust.  Second, we’ll be a better team with the players selected and we are in good shape for the 25 draft.

    I don't think you bring in Hamler and Claypool if the plan is to say trade for DK Metcalf after June 1. Those aren't just camp bodies IMO, they're bets on upside. Not that I agree with the strategy but that's my guess.

    If you can get DK, get DK.  If you want a Lombardi, get DK at 1 second past 12pm.  Do you remember Moulds?

    Sorry. I was at the Bills-Pats -5 playoff game and I'll never do that again, despite the outcome. 

    The worst game I remember was that Steeler game that we needed to win to get in, and they played bench sitters.  Cold and wet and windy.  I think the NFL wants Buffalo to play in the elements, especially snow.  Must watch TV.

    My point is that the new stadium being fully enclosed, would greatly cut down on the sideways wind/rain/snow. Will it still affect play and fan comfort? Yes. Will it be the annoying wind chill tunnel where your beer freezes in less than 3 minutes? No. I don't believe so. And let's not forget the amazing tag line that the exterior of the new stadium will cause "wind confusion". That has to account for something, right?

    The domed stadiums I’ve been in can’t compare to the Bills game day experience.  Maybe it’s the structure or maybe it’s the fans.  Maybe both.  Just wish the canopy could’ve been more like the donut hole in the old Cowboys place.

    The kid is a physical freak, has a great mindset, catches the ball, and is only 20 so of course guys are like "yeah you can get something out of him."

    Yea, you can tell he loves the big stage.  And he’ll bring back fun to the games.  Diggs was having fun the first couple of years, but things got tight.  Keon will lighten things up.  I like it!  Go Bills 🦬🦬🦬

    It is not.  

     

    The expectation is to take a step back.  Hopefully contend for the division or the wild card.

     

    Everything is setting up for another 4-5 year window starting in 2025.  

     

    They needed to purge salary and age a bit.  This past build failed to get a superbowl.  I blame a few bad contracts, mainly Von Miller, as well as the inability to get a WR 1B or WR 2 for the past 2 seasons.  Diggs' act also hurt.

    Not making playoffs is only scenario where there’s a cleaning house.  The key is Von.  I think this draft will make our D better, and IF Von returns to form, then we are in the drivers seat.

    Well I don't know all the details but I suspect our head coach is a major player either directly by being the main reason they haven't won or indirectly by not being able to smooth it over.

    McD is referred to as a players coach.  If that’s your approach, then you’re gonna have guys like Diggs pop up and off.  Wouldn’t happen with Belichek.  A real players coach would develop a culture where player leadership checks people like Diggs.  Even this is hard to do when a diva gets a huge contract and the rest of the guys don’t feel they have credibility to set expectations. A common theme in this years draft class is team leadership and I like it.

    IfAt this point the answer is on the roster or we wait until 25. 

     

    If Coleman is more Keenan Allen than Kelvin Benjamin.

     

    If Shakir is ready to step up to be a younger Diggs.

     

    If Samuel can be the Curtis Samuel mold.

     

    If we can get something out of Shorter..

     

    If Kincaid can take a major role in the game plan.

     

    If Brady can make it work

    I predict Shorter will give us 500 yards. If Shorter was healthy last year, Diggs would’ve been whining more due to fewer targets.  Coleman and Shorter will put some bruises on CBs.

    Yea Coleman is going to be a starter. I guarantee it unless he gets hurt in training camp or something. They are going to take another WR, I said that in multiple other posts. They will do it tomorrow.

     

    I also don't believe that just going full firepower offense is the way to beat the Chiefs. Every game against the Chiefs is a story in each game.

     

    The first time they played they weren't ready for the moment and got overwhelmed by a better more experienced team despite taking an early lead.

     

    The 2nd game we put up 36 Points on offense and lost the game because our defense couldn't get off the field and coaching blunders

     

    Last years game was a tightly contested battle where we were highly injured and the Chiefs made more big plays than the Bills down the stretch of the game.

     

    Really 2 out of the 3 games was simply the Chiefs came through in the clutch and the Bills didn't. The Bills need to make the plays in the right moments against the Chiefs on offense, defense and special teams. They have failed in all 3 phases in them in their 3 separate playoff outings.

    Great analysis.  We are close.  Chiefs are not on another level.  They’re not our daddy.  JA17 faced a better D than Mahomey, but that won’t be true next time.   Our day will come.

     Look at the 2 - 230 minute mark. That is not normal for a guy that is 6"4. It's abnormal athletic ability to have that body control and start and stop at that size. 

    See a lot of separation and running by people, over people, and bouncing people.  I see what Josh likes.

    Use the same rationale for Beane trusting his evaluators instincts. Do you think if the Bills had a first round grade on worthy or Leggette they wouldn’t have taken him? They have a plan. Trust our GM and if in three years he gets fired because this draft was a disaster and it lead to losing then we will know won’t we. Truth is we just don’t know.

    even though we have lots of NFL caliber talent evaluators here.

    🤡🤡🤡

    I haven’t seen this GM do a CJ or EJ yet, until then, let the process roll!

    I'm sure you can at least understand the skepticism. People here have been banging the drum about getting Josh better weapons for a long time now, and every offseason the front office defenders have said that we have players that will break out and that we have "enough". But it hasn't been, for years now. And we now lost Diggs. 

    I think if we get Coleman or McCockey, and a 4.3 John Brown type burner, Josh will have nuff.  That ball will be flying all over the place.  I’m serious.

  18. All the guys who argued to sell the ranch for one of the top 3 WRs must be like ready to jump off a cliff today. Have a cup of tea and chill.  Hope we end up with Cooper and Coleman.  Shorter will bust out this year.  Maybe bust isn’t the right word.  Should be an exciting year.
