    the going was tough DURING THE GAME. What you are referring to is after the "war" is already over and the guy just wants to go home. He bailed on no one. He was one of the only players leading the charge during the game, when it actually counted.

     

    The second that game clock hit :00 he's not beholden to anyone. The entire team should have been kicked out of the building immediately at that whistle for how they performed.

     

    The Bills ran 42 passing plays vs the Bengals.  Josh was sacked once and hit 8 times by the defense during those plays.  That equates to Josh getting hit more than once every five drop backs. Josh also ran the ball on another 8 plays and took real shots getting tackled on many of them.   

     

    Allen paid the price all day long for the horrific O-line play.  Dorsey didn't help him any either.  Josh was taking a beating all game long and then he gets called out by Diggs?  Diggs standing there screaming in Allen's face in front of the cameras and his team mates.  And Allen sat there and took it without saying a word.   That happened during the game, not after the game

     

    Diggs doesn't have a problem doing a post game presser when he goes 8 for 125 and a TD does he?  After the worst loss of the season he let Josh go out there by himself and take the heat.  How many questions did Allen get asked about Diggs screaming at him in the post game presser?  How did Allen handle those questions?  In a manner befitting someone with a "C" on his uniform.  The complete opposite of how Diggs carried himself that day and how he has continued to act this post season.  Now he's a no show for the voluntary work outs.  There's some leadership for you.

     

    I'm still glad Diggs is on the roster and I hope they can put this behind them, but don't think for a minute that Josh or his team mates will forget it.  Diggs was a jerk during the game, and he bailed on the team and Allen afterwards. 

     

    Doc, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

    The game was over, the season was over, he left.

     

    What does everyone want him to do? Hang out and give everyone goodbye smooches for trying so hard during the first half of the season?

     

    There was nothing left to do or say at that point.

     

    Get over it. I'm sure the team has.

     

    Disagree. 

     

    I didn't see Diggs sitting next to Josh in the post game taking any responsibility for the game.  No one else on the team ran out of the building like it was on fire afterwards, particularly no one with a "C" on their jersey.  I was a sergeant in the airborne infantry.  When you have a "brother" who bails on you when the going is tough you don't forget it.  You can mend fences and move on, but you don't forget it.  Like I said, friendship and loyalty are cheap when things are going good.

  3. I like Diggs but he acted like a jerk at the end of the season.  Friendship is cheap when times are good. Leadership is easy when things are going your way.  It's when things fall apart that real friends and leaders step up.  Diggs bailed on Allen and his team mates after the Bengals game and that was a punk move on his part.

     

    That's not how "Josh's brother" and a team captain should act.

  4. I want Beane to grab the two best O-linemen on the board with picks 1 and 2.  Give Allen 3+ seconds in a clean pocket and he will dominate with the WRs, TEs, and RBs we have now just like Mahomes did last year with a less than elite receiving corps. 

     

    Allen is the key, protect him, give him a pocket, give him the time to get through his reads and the offense will be deadly.

    The “learning to fall” premise is flawed.  He can try to tuck his chin all he wants but most of the time he’s not going to have any control with how his body hits the ground - especially when other players are on topic of him.
     

    It’s different in WWE as the wrestlers (who also tuck their chin) know when then are going to fall and have a high degree of control of their body.  

     

    I  disagree.  Look at the Milano concussion.  He falls backwards like a limp fish and snaps his head against the ground.  Completely avoidable.    After the first concussion the next ones happen easier.  I agree, the concussion vs the Bengals that knocked him out for good would have been tough to avoid, he got whipped to the ground.

  6. They need to get a martial arts instructor to teach Tua how to fall backwards without hitting his head.  I took Hapkido lessons at a local YMCA when I was a teenager and they taught us how to fall in every conceivable manner without hitting your head. (Yes, I could take Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris in a street fight)  Every class that was part of the warm ups.  You practice it over and over until it just happens naturally.  It's not rocket science.  The concussion from Milano was completely avoidable

     

     

  7. I watched him closely the last two seasons.  (I drafted him both years in my FF league)  He killed me both years.  I'm not sure if Stafford just never looked at him and threw every ball to Kupp, or if Robinson just couldn't get open.  I suspect it is the latter though because even in the handful of games where Kupp was banged up Robinson did not produce.

     

    I'm fine with him going to a conference rival.  I think he is just a guy at this point in his career.  It's a shame, he's another talented player who's career was crippled by the team that drafted him, the Jags, and then went to another team, the Bears, that also had terrible QB play.  

     

    He had a couple of seasons where he flashed his potential.  If he had a solid QB throwing to him he could have been special.  He definitely had some tools.

    they get to Superbowls

    every contract signed years ago looks like bargain. I hate that. Wait in 2 years when he gets a new one

     

    Josh didn't give the Bills a "hometown discount" in the amount of money he is being paid.  Where he did cut the Bills some slack was in the length of his contract.  Josh signed a six year contract that began at the end of his rookie contract locking him up until 2028.   With Hurts new contract, he is also locked up through 2028.  

     

    Josh entered the League two years before Hurts did and both of their second contracts end in 2028.  The Bills got to lock up their guy at a lower rate for an additional two years compared to the Eagles, and with the inflation of the QB market, those extra years are big.  The Chiefs robbed the bank getting Mahomes to sign for ten years.

     

    In today's NFL, I think the length of the contract is more important than the amount of the contract.  Every additional year is incredibly valuable to a franchise.

    Does it really matter? How much more will it be? And nfl contracts are so fluid. They all get restructured and then you have to pay them the same. Every elite qb kinda makes the same. Except prime Brady when he took less than market value.  Once you have to pay your qb, you are giving up like 30-40% of your cap.

     

    Respectfully, yes, it does matter that two Conference rivals are going to drastically reduce their available cap space and flexibility this off season.  Ask Beane whether it was easier building a roster before or after Josh's second contract.

    ESPN's Dan Graziano reports Odell Beckham "has offers on the table from multiple teams," with the Jets being his most likely landing spot. 

    Graziano believes Beckham could wait to make his move until after the Jets have acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Packers (ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said the trade is all but a done deal and that neither the Jets nor Packers are in a hurry to get it done). It remains to be seen what kind of deal Beckham can get after playing in just 21 NFL games since the start of the 2020 season due to multiple ACL injuries. It was reported this week that OBJ reuniting with the Giants should be considered a "long shot at best." 

     

    Would certainly prefer to see OBJ land in the NFC and not in our division or on the Chiefs...

    You also have Doyle, so that leaves 12 OL and means you'll be cutting three of them, plus any other lower rated players they may have as typically teams go wit h9 on the 53 man roster.

     

    To me that's not a good use of money as likely cutting players you just gave a signing bonus too.  Granted not high bonuses, but when tight against the cap to start with, every $$ counts.

     

    It’s about competition and insurance against injury I think.  If we didn’t sign these guys and a starting O line guy tears an Achilles in camp or preseason the guys we signed aren’t on the market anymore.  I think Beane is just being prudent.

    You got to be pretty desperate to trade for a 39 year old quarterback who talks about retirement almost every week. This is not even a good plug in player. This is not Tom Brady, it more like a Ryan Fitzpatrick looking for one last fling

     

     

     

    The thing that makes me feel like this is a good thing for the Jets is that the aforementioned 39 year old QB went on a "darkness retreat" to help him decide if he wanted to play football again.

     

    Everyone knows that going on a "darkness retreat" is a very powerful experience that can help a person make major life decisions.  Granted, its not as powerful as rubbing crystals on your nipples or wearing Copper Socks, but it is still powerful none the less.

    Makes Hyde's contract look really bad, especially since we have a dead cap on our books for next 3 years for him, over 3 million next year.

     

    The Bills are paying a total of $12mm this year for the best safety duo in the NFL and your take on that is negative? 

     

    Wow.

     

    Next year the cap hit for those two is $7mm.

     

    Is that too much as well?

     

    Sling and miss for strike one for Back2Buff....

    Defending the first comment by pointing out his best year was with Dak is certainly a choice....

     

     

     

    My best season was 2016 with Dak???  Check the tape?

     

    2016;

    Games played;  16

    Targets;  98

    Receptions;  75

    Yards;  833

    TD;  5 

    Comp %;  76.5

     

    2020;

    Games played;  15

    Targets;  107

    Receptions;  82

    Yards;   967

    TD;  4

    Comp %;  76.6

     

     

     

    I just checked the tape Cole, and you're wrong.   

     

    I supported him with his vaccination stance.   Now he is just being a jerk.

    We would likely renegotiate his contract and lower the cap hit. 

     

    Hey Era,

     

    I just don't think he's a good fit for our offense.  Henry is an old school back who needs 20+ carries a game to find his grove.  I don't think Dorsey wants to invest that much of the offense in running plays, and he probably shouldn't as long as we have a healthy Josh.

    Is there one (or more)?

     

    Hey Doc,

     

    I'm not sure how deep the field is for big backs this year.  I'm not a draftnik kind of guy.  I imagine there will be some to chose from late in the draft.  It seems that RB is the one position where it's easy to find a stud in the later rounds.   

     

    Beane may want to keep his limited free agency resources for other positions.  We'll see.

  17. I think the best bet is to draft one.  Find some 230lb back on day three of the draft from a smaller FBS program who has shown an ability to pass protect and not fumble and bring him in on a cheap contract.   Supposedly there's not much of a learning curve for RBs going from college to the pros. 

     

    He'll likely be the change of pace back, short yardage back and should be able to contribute right away. 

     

    On the cheap.

    Beane looking to add "heavier, power style running back."

     

    Makes sense with only shifty pass catching backs on the roster.  Doesn't bode well for bringing Singletary back.

     

    D'onta Foreman?  Damien Harris?  Zeke Elliott?  Pool is getting shallow at this point. 

     

    Draft one?

     

    Not going to be D'onta Foreman... going to the Bears, 1 year, $3mm.
