Diggs just starting following 3 Bills players on IG, Poyer, Jones, and Shaq.
First reported last night. Pretty sure its somewhere in the pages of speculation here.

Not that Morse or Feliciano had great games sunday either, but I'm just curious why you may be more up on Spain than either of the other two - would you feel the same way about Ford spelling Feliciano at times as well?
Couldn't agree more - especially with Dawkins. I don't have anything against him, but I don't think he's a tackle much less an LT. Just an opinion, but I actually would've preferred him at guard in the interior, but is currently LT at present by default more than anything. Granted, they made him a captain but I'm not sure his play has reflected his increased work ethic they saw.
Given 5 of 6 of these guys weren't on the team last year, and where we were last year with the OL, it's a remarkable upgrade across the board. Certainly, this is the short term solution, but I'll def be curious how they approach Dawkins when his contract comes due.
I dont think they plan on paying Dawkins. I have a feeling you'll see them go LT early in the draft. Have Dawkins and the rookie compete. If Dawkins wins they move the rookie to RT for a year, move Ford inside to RG, and Felciano over to LG. I still contest Ford doesnt have what it takes to play tackle in the NFL. He lunges too much because his body type is much better suited for guard.

Maybe I am mis-remembering but wasn't that the only ball he was good at beginning of last year? What the hell happened to it and why is he overthrowing by 5 yards while under-throwing it by a few as well. I have no explanation for this whatsoever but for this offense to click, he REALLY needs to keep teams honest and hit some of these....like how about one? Besides his amazing runs and the the throw he makes on the run from time to time, what throw can he actually make now?
This is not to bash the guy at all, I seriously want to know where that long-ball went....
Definitely been thinking the same thing. It seemed like he was stepping into the long throws better last year. I've noticed, especially against the Patriots he was drifting or running backwards while throwing the more low pct throws.

Yep very easy. I went online and did it. Done two weddings and a funeral since then.

The only guy who will command a lot of money in the next couple of years will be White. They need to get weapons. They could sign Green and draft a wideout. Money is not an issue at this point for the Bills.
Poyer and Milano will need to be resigned.

It always sounds like they are saying "M"eedle.
Wow, and while I am typing this that ad pops up. ?
At least it is not an "adult oriented ad", those really frustrate me. If I had a child(ren) in the car with me, I would be so mad! Kids shouldn't have to hear those ads, and you never know if they will be on WGR or not. Usually it goes in cycles, luckily I haven't heard any lately.
I hear you on those. The sports podcasts I listen to always seem to have them. Makes it kind of discouraging to try and listen while I do work around the house.

Jay Gruden, should and will be the first. O'brien really should be out in Houston.

The way they say NEEDLE makes my skin crawl.

It's not that Allen isn't elite, it's that he's still one of the worst passers in the NFL.
I just want Allen to be average at this point. He needs to stop being a liability.
This. Allen has started 15 games.
9 or those 15 games he had more than 1 turnover. 7 of those 15 games were multi interception games. 2 of those games are multi touchdown games. He is a bigger liability than he is a help.
Nothing about the kid makes me think he is going to be a long term answer at QB. He is very lucky to be on a good team. People want to believe there is this light that goes on for quarterbacks. I've never seen it. Good quarterbacks usually come into the league good. Josh is the same player he was in college. Extremely physically gifted, but incredibly prone to huge mistakes.
The biggest question for me is if McBeane are willing to let their careers be ruined by the kid, or if they will be smart enough to move on after next year.

Playing the way he is playing he simply isn't going to last in the league so it doesn't much matter whether or not you like him as a player. He's going to be on the shelf a lot and those injuries will likely be increasingly debilitating.
Unless you really like Matt Barkley, prudence dictates that they take another QB fairly high in the near future
If he doesnt finish the year strong, I would suggest you see them take a quarterback somewhere in the 4th or 5th round of the draft.

I think he is the quarterback of an exceptionally good football team, but I wouldnt say I ever went over to the side of having faith in him. Running aside, he is putting up numbers very close to guys like Blake Bortles, Deshone Kizer, and Geno Smith- sense a trend here. I am not sure Josh is ever going to be a good starter in the NFL. I think the Bills spent a first round pick on a more athletic Derek Anderson.
Everytime he rolls to his right everyone knows whats coming. I hope I am wrong, but he may be the worst starting quarterback in the league right now.

Concussion protocol takes quite some time. If there’s even a hint of a problem you will never see a return. Cheap shot that never seems to happen to Brady. Why? Because Brady dumps the ball off at the closet hint of pressure.
My issue is with the zebras, that interception where D back lost the ball while our defender touched while out of bounds should have been incomplete. That clown In NY is biased.
I am getting mighty sick of his "dumpoffs" into the dirt with no wideout near the ball.

And stats are everything, right? I suppose you would argue Tyrod was a top 10 qb when he was here and his QBR said so.
They arent everything but they are something. If you want to say QBR which is a statistical mix mash is similar to YPC and touchdowns per game be my guest. I think youre going a long ways to defend a comment you made that isnt true. Die on that hill because it really doesnt matter. Edleman isnt a burner neither is Beasley.

I think my statement was firmly based in reality. Edleman gets YAC because hes an athlete, Beasley catches the ball and falls down 50% of the time. Edleman can take it to the house on you, Beasley is not that threat. Is Edleman better bc of Brady? OF COURSE, but hes also better because hes flat out better.
Again Edleman has almost the exact same yards per reception as Beasley and less tds per year. As such your assessment that one can take it to the house on you and the other falls down isnt correct.

Edleman and Beasley fill a similar role, but are not similar athletes. Edleman is a superb athlete that happened to be a QB before and then played DB/WR to make it in the league, hes smart as hell and even more quick and explosive. Beasley is not fast nor particularly quick, he works like hell and has a pretty good eye for finding soft spots, offers a lot of nothing after the catch outside of a dive forward. I see why the Cowboys couldn't have him as their best WR. He's more of a safety blanket than a game changer.. Edleman can BURN you.
I think playing with Brady has blinded people to ehat Edleman is. He may be a better athlete than Beasley but for God's sake he doesnt burn you. His yards per reception is exactly .6 of a yard better than Beasley over their career. When you talk about touchdowns per season Beasley has Edleman. The difference is really targets. Edleman is targeted a ton and Beasley spent most of his early career as a 4th wideout. Not saying Beasley is better at all. But lets live in reality a bit when it comes to what Edleman is.

You know what's interesting...almost all the Madden champions look like they could be athletes. In fact...most video game champions I ever see aren't overweight slobs which is interesting considering how often they must be sitting their playing video games and how such a huge portion of our population is fat regardless of occupation or hobby.
Says the guy posting on a message board. More worried about the fact that more than half of our population have turned into judgemental killjoy jerks because they can hide behind a phone or computer.

I'd say this is a smart move, but the owner is as much to blame for this as anyone else. They need to get a real GM again and start building their team.
Hopefully Marone and Shurmur wont be long after.

Easy enough. Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State are the three teams that are consistently on television in the Northeast every weekend. You watch enough of those games and they become the teams you cheer on. There is something very cool about Notre Dame's uniforms, the play like a champion today ritual. I enjoy them and could care less if they win in the College Football playoff. Aside from Alabama and Clemson no one else really does.
-
Never cared too much about trading Peters. Having him on the team wouldnt have made Losman, Edwards, Fitz, Manuel or Tyrod any better.
-
Bradham is a pro bowl level linebacker but he is also a pro bowl level idiot off the field. Think Milano is the better player right now
-
No thanks. He is an average wideout who has name recognition. If youre going to pay someone that amount of money go big and get a game changer. Otherwise wait until the offseason.

If everybody already knows what Zay is, why would they be auditioning him? The Bills arent using the regular season to showcase a wideout they would be lucky to get a 7th round draft pick for. There isnt any ploy or 3D Chess going on. They think Zay is better than Duke right now, and thats the bottom line.
