Diggs was playing for his ego. That’s his biggest motivation. His own self. He wanted the prime time audience to see how much better he was than Josh Allen and responsible for his success. Meanwhile, Allen has never said anything about Diggs in the media. It’s the most one-sided beef I’ve ever seen. Buffalo paid him handsomely, gave him a great QB, and made him one of the most targeted receivers during his time here. I don’t get it and I never will, but I can’t wait until his true character comes out once he stops reaching his target quota.

Beane showed that he’s willing to make an in-season trade if the position is a complete dumpster fire. Sometime it works (Rasul Douglas) and sometimes it doesn’t (Amari Cooper.) This is an important year and seats are starting to warm up on the defensive side. Babich might be the chosen scapegoat

Better off wearing a referee uniform as they were the team who had the most impact.

Well, thankfully the players play the game so we as fans can speculate and look at future matchups.

To answer OP’s question. Drake Maye is better than any QB they’ve put on the field post-Brady. His ceiling is Justin Herbert, but he’s got a pretty high floor. Personally, I would be super excited as a Pats fan. Beating (one of them) the SB favorites on the road was a huge milestone. The Patriots are going to have a winning record this year for the first time in forever. Honestly, I don’t think it’s as bad as people think. A weak AFCE has not been the blessing most Bills fans thought. It’s good to have a rival to keep the Bills as an organization sharp. Now that it’s not such a cake walk into the playoffs, the younger players will have earlier exposure to adversity. I miss the big rivalries and I feel like it’s been lacking in the AFCE for a very long time. Brady never had much of a rivalry with anyone other than the Jets for a couple years. Unless anyone else has a different opinion, the last great AFCE matchup was Marino/Kelly, correct ? The Bills/Dolphins in the late 90s - early 2000s was a fun matchup as well because both teams were so evenly matched.

Absolutely. Red zone turnovers are the reason for losing a 3 point game 99.9% of the time. Even if it doesn’t result in points for the other team, it still takes them away from the Bills. No turnover = no loss. PROTECT THE BALL

Boy was I mad when I joined Freshman Football and we weren’t running the Air Coryell. We ran some prehistoric offense called the Wishbone from the 1800s. I was convinced my Madden knowledge would’ve propelled us to a championship.

But why not include Nabers? He’s on their roster. You can mix & match those bottom teams honestly. They all equally suck. I don’t think the Bills are at the bottom. Cook brings their value up tremendously. Kincaid is also developing into a true top 10 TE. WRs are lacking incredibly, but Shakir and Coleman are nice pieces for any offense. Finally a coach that take advantage of Trevor’s athleticism. Hes a big strong guy and ran a 4.6. Always perplexed me why Urban Meyer or Peterson never took advantage of this !

Mike Williams. I forget how far this place goes back. These are all good points. Mcconkey put it together for a whole season. I want to see Keon do the same thing. They are both (Shakir and LM) slots, but a good player is a good player. Bellichick did it for years.

When did I ever say this ?? This board isn’t one giant entity.

Mahomes might have the worst skill position group in the NFL

DIME

This Jaguars defense looks so familiar 🤔

Kansas City benefits from a garbage non call. What’s new

Nope. Not this year. Much better teams in the AFC

The Chiefs looked like the 3 Stooges on that dropped pick 🤣

One of the few times this message board was right.

I still want to see the offensive PI called on Shakir that they conveniently forgot to show a replay of. I knew by the end of the 1st quarter the Bills weren’t winning **** The penalties called on the Patriots later in the game were irrelevant because they were already in the lead. The refs just had to keep the Bills head from getting above water. The most telling penalty was the holding call on the last kick off return (were the Bills the only one holding?) If the returner got it out to the Bills 40 then there’s actually a chance Allen could rifle a pass to someone out of bounds for 20 yards to give Prater the chance to kick a 60+ yarder. The Bills are always near the bottom in penalties. Did they just forget how to play this game ? I’m not buying it. That game was heavily swayed in the Patriots favor. They gave them every opportunity to win it. Hochuli and his father are notoriously terrible. And both never favor Buffalo.

Wasn’t a great game by Joe Brady by any means and Babich/McD has a lot to answer for as well, but let’s be real. Patriots never would’ve won without heavy assistance from the refs. Every time the Bills sniffed the red zone there was a holding call or phantom offensive PI. Patriots had 0 flags going into the 3rd quarter. Constantly going from 2nd and 2 to 2nd and 12 is hard to overcome. That’s why 1st down plays are so important to get those 4-5 yard runs that Cook has been excellent at.

Josh is now the Elder Statesman of the Bills. All of his receivers are 5+ years younger. They all look to him for guidance. I think the urgency was there. They just couldn’t get into any offensive flow because of the lack of running game and constant flags. This was as sloppy as a game I’ve ever seen. That was the only way the Pats were going to win. Even a Bills offense performing at 80% would’ve smoked New England.

Yes. You’re right. Blame should fall on the ones who recruited him in the first place. He created a running game, but not to make the Bills more explosive in other areas. They want to run it so they can play ball-control offense and keep it close until the end so they can win it by a FG instead of blowing teams out of the water like they should be doing.

. I do agree with you fundamentally. There was a 3rd down play late in the game where Josh was scrambling back there trying to find the open guy and none of the receivers made their way back to the ball like they are normally supposed to do on off-scripted plays. That’s on coaching.

The refs gave the Patriots every single opportunity to win this game. Funny how there is always an officiating controversy when the Bills lose. The only time the Patriots got flagged were blatant unnecessary roughness calls and pre-snap penalties. Not to mention the Patriots were holding allover the place. The Bills couldn’t get into any type of rhythm whatsoever.

I’ll tell you one thing and I’m not afraid to say it, but I don’t think Brady is the answer at OC. Why are we clipping the wings of Josh Allen ? The Bills looked more afraid of Drake Maye last night than the other way around.

lol Diggs is a joke. I guarantee you 100% of his motivation last night was about him beating Josh Allen. He could’ve been on the other side of the field making plays and guiding our young receivers, but he wants to be the big man and Allen is too big for him to overtake. F that guy. Seriously. Good for New England. They won their SB this year and seem to be on the right path.
