Lance Alworth comes to mind. I would be very happy with McConkey. I suspect we'll pass on him if he's still available and then deeply regret that we didn't take him.

Referring to Lamar Jackson and the playoffs kind of destroys your whole point. For a guy with 2 MVP's and whose team twice secured the #1 seed Jackson has been remarkably bad in he playoffs. Jackson & Allen do not exist on the same field when looking at playoff football.

Agree. At the end when Diggs ripped into Allen for all to see he was clearly dispirited at how the game had went. The idea that it was Allen alone who was flat for the game is simply absurd. The Bills defense allowed the Bengals to easily drive 75 yards for TD's on their first two possessions. That set the tone for the game - the Bengals came to play and the Bills were in la la land.

And they would need to throw in a roof for the new stadium. No and I still don't think he's as good as Allen.

These two points are so wrong for so many reasons. 1) The idea that Diggs was the only guy on the team that wanted to win is ridiculous on its face. Sure, Diggs worked hard to project the image of the only one who cared but IMO he was posturing most of that time. I think back to his standing there in Arrowhead Stadium watching the Chiefs celebrate their conference championship win. Talk about a posed Kodak picture moment. And the idea that Allen doesn't care about winning is based on what exactly? Your perception that in the first couple of months after the season ends the guy actually lives his life? I don't know where this came from but its a meritless smear IMO. 2) And to say that the reason Allen hasn't won a Super Bowl yet is because he doesn't "put the mental work in" is flat out crazy talk. So you think if Allen had spent the off season studying how not to let your Special Teams and Defense blow a 3 point lead with only 13 seconds left would have helped? Because I'm wondering what more then leading the Bills on TWO late 4th quarter TD drives could a more mentally prepared Allen have done in that game.

I think these people wanted Allen to hold passing drills at his house in March with the WR's including Diggs & Davis.

Wait, you don't get off this easy. Isn't the point of you guys complaining Allen isn't devoted to football 24/7 in the off season based on your belief that Mahommes is all about football all the time and that he stays in great shape. Choose one or the other.

No. We aren't slackers. We're here on 2BD posting away. We take the off season seriously not like Allen.

I can't fathom why you would post this drivel? You think Allen would rather have had the TD then the easy FG try? Wow, high level football insight there.

I can think of a few 2BD posters who were disappointed when they learned it wasn't our Allen!

Is there no limit to their pursuit of profit and market penetration? I et Mexico & Canada but freaking BRAZIL?

No

What does race have to do with it? But you throw it out there.

How big a dick would we think any Bills player was if they went up to Bass after he missed that FG against KC to ream him out? There is NO excuse for Diggs to have gone after Allen at that point. None what-so-ever. Add this to his publicly yelling at Allen on the sidelines in the Bengal's playoff game and I say good riddance Diggs. It may hurt us this year but in the long run this was the best thing that could happen to this team.

In the last 6 playoff games (2021 - 2023) Diggs has been a no show in 5 of them. Allen was a no show (along with the rest of the team against the Bengals) in 1 of them. Can you imagine the crap Allen would be taking on 2BD if he had only one good playoff games in the last six games? How the hell do you know that Allen "doesn't put in the work"? And where do you get the idea that Allen has a huge ego? Judas Priest the attacks on Allen under the guise of the Diggs trade are bizarre.

And you know this how? And for someone who would "give his life to win a Super Bowl" Diggs sure did disappear in the 2021, 2022, & 2023 playoffs.

I love Milano and think he's one of the best LB's in the game but if this is true and I believe it is then it's a part of the problem. We need great impact players who play impact positions. And after Allen we've been decidedly lacking those type of players in the playoffs. And all you have to do is look at Diggs production the last 6 playoff games (2021 through now) to see that he was far from being an impact player when he was most needed to be one.

By my count Cook dropped 4 easy TD catches and on only one of the drives that he dropped a TD pass did we go on a score a TD. So yes those drops did hurt us. But Cook also made some big plays in the passing game. My expectation is that he will work on the drops reducing them. At the same time as he gains more confidence in a pro passing attack his big plays will balloon in number.

I believe (maybe hope is a better word) that this is a classic case of taking one step back to more easily take two steps forward. If ever there was a WR draft that made this decision easier this year is it.

Don't forget that Cook is likely to play a larger role in the passing game.

To be fair Allen launched three deep balls which on most weekends in the NFL would have been caught. Both the WR's that couldn't make those catches are gone. If they catch 2 of those 3 shots we win that game.

And when you throw in his yearly disappearing act in the playoffs................

This is spot on. Hopefully though McD/Bean have got religion and after taking a step back by releasing Diggs they take two steps forward in the draft and land at least one if not two high end WR's. This is the draft to do it and next years #2 they got for Diggs absolutely should be committed to moving up to draft a better WR.

I am very confident that Curtis Samuel is a #2.

And the Chiefs are doing it big time now.
