They need to look into trading him. That salary may make it impossible.

Has the same issue Gabe Davis does, he cant catch. Just my opinion but if they are going to spend any money on wideout they should bring in someone to take the #2 role not just compete.

Easily a 11-13 win team again next year.

Does anyone else find it odd they stopped doing these together starting last year? Hadnt they always done end of the year press conferences together before 2021?

Its so bad its funny.

Yes he can. In every scheme you have multiple formations. I am sure McDermott's playbook has formations where his cornerbacks play press coverage. But instead of calling that play, Frazier called off coverage. In McDermott's world he would also be the first to take the blame for the loss but the guy isnt going to fire himself so...

Bring in Jack Conklin at RT. Draft Saffold's replacement early. Double dip in the draft at guard to bring someone in to compete with Bates.

They won 14 of 18 games. Diggs isn't going after the coaches alone. He is going after his QB.

The Kumbaya vibes has led to a lot of wins for this franchise. There are plenty of hotheads in the NFL who haven't won jack. Being fiery may be passionate but it isn't always effective. It can often lead to dysfunction.

I am not looking for them to run it back. I am looking for them to get better and I believe they will try because the front office has always tried. I like how the Bills are further away. But the Bolts and Browns who have shown absolutely nothing with their respective QBs are closer. Take the emotion out of it and be honest about what these teams actually are. The Bills will be back next year.

They've literally contended for a Super Bowl for 5 of the last 6 years. The over reaction today is nuts. This team has been around for over 60 years and not won a Super Bowl (AFL Championship yes) and everyone is acting like its easy to do just because they have a good QB.

The only thing that showed up from Diggs yesterday was his mouth. He played like trash too.

They can't cut or trade Diggs. The cap hit is huge either way. Its not Diggs or Dorsey. Its Diggs under contract right back in Buffalo in July because he signed it and took their money. Hopefully he is over his cycle by the time the season starts next year.

My only issue with him is size. He is listed at 5"10 172, will be interesting to see what he measures out at during the combine. May be strict slot guy.

Makes sense. Started the topic to for discussion sake, and you have valid points. Not sure how I feel about Hyatt yet. Seems like the idea that a WR takes 3 years to develop has gone out the window with so many young guys having success out of the gate. The free agent list was another reason I had either of these guys as an option.

Love Zay Flowers. Was hoping he would come out last year. Actually reminds me a lot of Henry Ruggs who I loved coming out of Alabama. Would have had a great career had he not made horrible decisions.

Better to show you can get there than to constantly fail in advancing there at all.

And in what I just laid out I gave him a new RT and a 1st Round Guard. Say you bring in Jack Conklin at RT, Draft O'Cyrus Torrence and sign Michael Thomas. Think those are all upgrades

The issue is picking late. Picking at 27, Johnston, Addison, and Smith-Njigba are likely all gone. Would you rather have Jalin Hyatt or the other two I've listed?

Even if they pay Thomas or Beckham on the cheap they can still bring in a RT in the offseason. If you sign a WR is free agency you have the freedom to go Guard in the 1st.

This year and next year for sure. But this offseason they will need to pay Burrow, which means the 1st year of his large deal would start in 2024 and they also need to pay Jonah Williams, DJ Reader, Tyler Boyd, Chidobe Awuzie, and Tee Higgins in 2024. They will eventually run into the same issues the Chiefs and Bills currently have in paying people.

The Bills can clear a lot of money by restructuring contracts this offseason, however if they want to trade for someone like DeAndre Hopkins or Brandin Cooks they will have to find someone to take on Ed Oliver's contract as well. We wont be able to keep Oliver and sign another big money wide receiver. That said, Michael Thomas just restructured his contract to make it easier for the Saints to move away from him in the offseason. If the Saints dont move him off their roster by March 17th they will owe him 32 million dollars next year, something I dont imagine they want to do. With Thomas and Beckham both coming off of injuries and playing very little the last two seasons it's possible they have to take a one year prove it deal, hypothetically something in the range of 7-8 million dollars, doable for the Bills. If we have to go the route of taking a chance on a gifted but tarnished wideout, which one would you prefer? If neither, what other option do you see for the Bills?

He isnt a better regular season Quarterback. But its starting to get really hard to argue the kid isnt better in the playoffs. He is 5-5 in playoff games, and is one game away from being in his 2nd Super Bowl. When QBs are remembered long term, no one brings up their supporting casts at the top of the argument. By the end of next year we could be talking about Burrow being a better all around QB, but at the moment it goes Mahomes then Allen. Like it or not, the national narrative around Josh right now is whether he is the next Philip Rivers.

Post of the year right here. Its nearly impossible to win a Super Bowl, the amount of randomness involved is pretty incredible. It took Andy Reid 20 years to win one, and no one should ever debate how great of a coach he is. McDermott has a better win percentage, playoff win percentage, and average win per year than Andy did in those 20 years leading up to his first Super Bowl win. Firing McDermott will do nothing expect start us back at the beginning.

I hadnt heard they had Saturday off. Kind of inexcusable.
