I’d trade up for MHJ, which won’t happen, but I wouldn’t for anyone else. I don’t see the bust potential being any greater for a receiver we take at 28.

Do I think we win it all? No. Can we win it all? Yes. In reality none of the guys we lost this offseason contributed much to the run we made in the second half of last season.

I still believe there’s a chance we don’t make any big splash at the receiver position. I don’t think there’s going to be a big trade, and wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t draft WR in the first round. This isn’t what I prefer, but I’m not convinced this regime values that position as much as fans and the media.

That’s fair, I forget Beane wasn’t the GM in Carolina, that’s on me. I do however see striking similarities in the construction of the Cam Newton led Panthers and this Bills team.

I don’t hate the trade, and I think Beane did a brilliant job turning us into contenders. However, I’m starting to see Beane and McD display some of the traits that ended Beane’s tenure in Carolina. Beane is team building the same way he did in Carolina, and it didn’t end great. I worry he’s repeating the same mistakes.

I’m alright with the trade because I don’t think Diggs is the same guy anymore. I am worried about not having someone who can stretch the field. I don’t know if Kincaid will ever be that guy. I think he can be great, but I don’t see any Kelce in him. Additionally, KC did just fine with mediocre receivers, but Allen is a different QB. He needs someone who can make big plays, win contested catches, and stretch the field. Allen slinging it downfield is too important to not have that type of receiver.

I have mixed feelings about this. It feels almost seems very “Patriot Way” like. We’re dumping a player who’s on the wrong side of 30, looking to future. I’m sad to see someone leave who meant so much to the Bills when we became contenders. We’re letting a player go who apart from Allen is the only elite talent on the roster. It feels like a divorce where I’m remembering all the good times, and everything Diggs should be to help us win a title. However, there’s another side that thinks Diggs isn’t that guy anymore. He might not be an elite receiver, he might have become the guy we saw during the second half of last season.

I like the fact that Memphis, San Antonio, Birmingham, and St.Louis are in this league. The idea of a spring league in smaller markets without an NFL team is great. Fan enthusiasm is important to me when trying to get into a new league. If I don’t see any interest in the stands, why should I be interested? It adds a human element that I find important. On the same note, I don’t understand why these leagues keep trying DC, Dallas, and Houston. Texas loves football, but those large markets aren’t going to care, they already have enough football to stay occupied.

We’re lucky to witness this Josh Allen led era of Bills football. I don’t like to nitpick, but only one thing bothers me about the current team. The Chiefs are better than us seems to be the mantra of this franchise. I realize the Chiefs are three time champs, but we need a little more swagger. We need to believe we are as good as them, we need believe we are a Super Bowl team. Instead, I hear coaches and players state the other side is just better. That’s not the mindset of champions. This team has a lot to be proud of, but I wish the public statements that hint KC is better would stop.

Fields is a bust who isn’t good enough, and Wilson is washed up. It’s simple as that, people are overthinking this. The Steelers will win games with defense and Tomlin’s coaching, but they haven’t solved their QB problem.

I wonder if pro sports leagues already do that. Canada has MLB, NFL, and NHL. I’ve never heard any complaints about taxes in those leagues.

We’ll see if other local businesses feel the same. The funeral director wasn’t going to bring a very lively crowd anyway.

Yeah, very disadvantageous to let the location of a potential stadium get out. I wouldn’t put it past Haslam to leave Cleveland if this doesn’t work out at the right price.

I think you just summed this up very well. The highest PSL’s are not geared towards “legitimate” fans. I don’t want to veer off topic, but this type of investment geared sale is very commonplace outside the sports world these days as well.

Yep, and anyone thinking Josh Allen is going to get all these calls are fooling themselves.

This is my biggest issue with more new rules. I can see KC winning five titles in a row once the refs call a “hip drop” tackle on every crucial play. I’m all about player safety, but this stuff is impractical in a game of tackle football.

A few things I gather from that game. We had an amazing defense, and it was a shame to waste. Eric Moulds would be an all time great if he ever had a QB. 2002 Bledsoe during the first half of the season was the only time. Lastly, I can’t believe that anyone thought/thinks Johnson was a decent QB. I’m not starting a Flutie vs Johnson debate, just saying the guy wasn’t good enough. QB play was a big reason the 1999 Bills didn’t go far.

I’m going to give a hot take. I don’t think pass rushers are paramount to defensive success as much as the past. Most elite QB’s are mobile athletic guys who can move around the pocket. I’m not saying pass rushers can’t make a difference, but they can be neutralized. Every year the playoffs come around, I fail to see pass rushers make big plays. The 49ers have Bosa who made zero difference in the Super Bowl, and the Lions Hutchinson wasn’t enough to slow the 49ers in the NFC title game either.

As others pointed out, most of Kincaid’s “issues” have more to do with the way he was used in this offense. I know this opinion isn’t very popular, but Dorsey and Brady were quite similar. Neither OC figured how to use our skill players to their max potential.

Deion should worry more about running a winning college football program, and develop Shadeur into an even more complete player. He’s scheming his entire game plan to prop up Shadeur’s stats imo.

This can be the case in many situations, and you wouldn’t be wrong. I just don’t understand why pro athletes can’t be smarter than this. The average Joe‘s relationship problems are something I can understand better than a pro athlete. Pro athletes have far more marriage/dating prospects than the average guy, yet they often choose toxic situations. That would seem indicative of someone who craves drama. Poor self esteem is one of the leading causes of remaining in a toxic relationship, that’s not an issue for a guy like Tyreek, I think it’s more an issue of a dude who doesn’t know what a healthy relationship is.

I don’t disagree, I think a lot of these guys find themselves in bad relationships with questionable people, but that says a lot about both parties. Let’s say every accusation is false, there’s no need for a pro athlete to stay in that type of toxic situation, unless they are a mess themselves.

I agree, and none of this drama has been destructive to the team in the past, so I’m never very concerned. This doesn’t seem TO in his prime where the drama hurt the team. My greatest concern is the possibility that Diggs is past his prime. I worry about that far more than social media posts.

He did some nice things with the Raiders, so I agree, but I don’t like the fact he’s thirty. In today’s NFL that seems to be the expiration date for productive wide receiver play.

Same here, I once viewed sports media as professionals with more knowledge than the average fan. I’ve come to realize they’re just guys with opinions, no different than random water cooler talk. The games are good enough for me. I still like talking football, but I don’t need articles or monologues from talking heads.
