  1. Don’t like having Allen run the ball up 30…
  2. Let’s get a cook 80+ yard td run
  3. Never seen a team able to get a field goal off in that situation. Don’t refs usually hold ball to let D sub?
  4. Wouldn’t be a Bills game without a Def TO
  5. The vaulted Andy dalton drives down the field…
  6. Sane coverage and pass rush every time.
  7. Allen looks frazzled on every play. Haven’t heard the “seeing ghosts” term in a while. But that is Josh right now.
  8. And we got away from Cook and we punt.
  9. Let’s take Cook off the field. Negative yards. Negative yards. Negative yards. Real smart.
  10. Joe Brady has happened. And lack of WR.
  11. It’s Cook or bust at this point. Not seeing anything different coming out of the bye. No separation. No creativity in passing game. Same old screens and short passes. Occasional mid level to Kincaid. Maybe trying Cook on the wheel or just the screen.
  12. 0-2 with Jackson. Not that it means anything.
  13. Would not be shocked if its Cam Lewis starting. But my money is its Poyer. I really hope they sign or trade for someone soon. We were already in need even with a healthy Rapp and Hamlin.
  14. Damar is on IR
  15. How is Poyer the best option? Simmons, Whitehead, Maye, Gardner-Johnson?
  16. Brady to Penn St. McDaniels to Buffalo. Super Bowl win.
  17. His contract is manageable this year and next. Worry about 2027 later.
  18. The speed comments are spot on. It’s not just speed getting open or speed to the ball. But when I watch other games I see guys catch the ball and they are gone. I al not sure if it’s physical or scheme though. The Bills seem to always be running in crowds, behind blockers etc. I rarely see guys in one on one match ups wre they beat a guy with speed. It’s like they don’t have space to get up to full speed.
  19. Based on the value chart and what JAX received for 17 from MIN. The Bills in theory could have gotten #17 for 1. #28 and #60 2. #28, #128 and 2025 3rd rd pick; Maybe a 4th as well.
  20. I get where you’re coming from, and I actually agree with parts of what you’re saying, especially around context and the fact that there wasn’t an obvious, slam-dunk Diggs replacement sitting there at the Bills’ draft slots. But I think you’re still missing the broader point of what “passing on a replacement” really means. It’s not just about identifying one specific player they could have drafted or traded for but it’s about whether the organization prioritized that need enough to create the opportunity. Saying, “there was no one available at our picks” ignores that front offices routinely move up or structure cap space around a position they deem critical. The Bills clearly didn’t see WR1 as that level of priority. If Beane and McDermott had viewed replacing Diggs as a foundational need, they could have approached the offseason differently, whether that meant freeing up cap to pursue a higher-end veteran, packaging picks to move up for BTJ, or even structuring a trade before the draft. Instead, they made a conscious bet that their offense and Allen’s playmaking could sustain itself through scheme and depth rather than a true WR1. That’s a valid strategic choice, but it is a choice. So when people say “they passed on a replacement,” it’s not necessarily saying “they passed on Player X who was guaranteed to be better.” It’s saying “they chose not to make replacing Diggs a top-level investment priority.” That’s fair to debate. You’re absolutely right that there weren’t obvious perfect options, and that DK and Pickens came with baggage or cost issues. But you can still fairly question whether the Bills’ overall philosophy, essentially deciding WR1 wasn’t worth aggressively targeting, was the right call for a team trying to keep its Super Bowl window open. In short: You’re right there wasn’t a sure-thing replacement sitting there. But that’s partly because the Bills didn’t put themselves in position to get one. That’s the real debate, not who they literally passed on, but whether they should’ve prioritized finding a true WR1 more than they did.
