You are all AMAZING and I will NEVER forget any of this no matter the outcome. This is life changing no matter what and you all mean so much to me.

Thank you so much sir…I don’t know the first thing about starting one of those though…

You all are so amazing. I love all of you. Thank you to all who have responded this quickly and to all that will. I’m out of options. I don’t want to post this here, but I’ve seen the amazing responses from all of you in past tragedies. You don’t know how much it means.

My wife had a brain aneurysm last evening and was helicoptered to york hospital in Pennsylvania for surgery. She is fighting for her life. The only reason I’m writing this is to ask for prayers for someone you never met, but is an amazing and passionate bills fan, like myself. I’m out of options, folks. This truly does fall on faith and hope that she will be healed. Thank you so much for reading this and I know your prayers will be felt. The Mafia is a family. We might not agree on things all the time, but we all want the same thing. At the end of the day, it’s a sport, but this is real. Please pray for my wife, myself, and our two children. Thank you.

The exact same thing can be said about wr. We have to get younger and cheaper there. I don’t wanna see gabe Davis replaced with another gabe Davis. Time to upgrade with a guy with a more complete skill set. We aren’t looking specifically for a 2 at this point. We are looking for a potential 1 as Diggs is going to be 31 next season.

I thought they said he plays faster than his 40 time will show?

I’m not sure where you saw that, and you may be right, but I saw on nfl draft buzz that he is projected to be around 4.59, which is awful.

I agree on all that. Legettes speed is undeniable. He’s got really strong hands, which are needed to catch Allen passes. He will never get outmuscled. Think dk metcalfe. His route running and productivity are suspect. One year wonders scare me a bit. I think if we get one of these guys in round 1 I’d be thrilled…Thomas, Franklin, Mitchell, Leggette, or Worthy. Walker is interesting and may end up in this bucket by the time of the draft. I don’t really want McConkey. He doesn’t run fast and doesn’t really fit what McD and Beane talked about the other day. I think it’s def gonna be a speed guy in round 1. But you make a great point about Polk. I just worry about an early run in round 2 if we wait. We can’t afford to wait and hope. I don’t want sit on my couch and watch all the remaining guys go at the top of 2 before we get a shot at moving up. That’s why I think they should set their board with about 3-5 WRs that they would be comfortable taking between 20-40. A slight move up or trade down depending on where they grade them.

I think that would be fine though. With Diggs coming back, the pressure won’t be on the rookie to be the guy right away. We need to draft a sure fire 2 that has the potential to be a 1 in a year or two. Im this case, I think a guy like Franklin would meet all the requirements that Beane is looking for. They talked for quite a bit yesterday about explosive plays. A guy like Franklin or worthy brings that. Who else do you suggest?

Count on it? Ok. Haha

Only if we take a different wr in the first. Roman Wilson is not the prized receiver we need to be targeting. He’d be a good second guy though.

I would probably become physically ill if they drafted defense in the first. That said…I don’t think it will happen. It’s time to build the offense around Allen.

You don’t think Thomas, Mitchell, or Franklin could be a 1?

The good thing in all this is it finally seems McD gets it. He talked for a while about throwing the ball and having explosive plays yesterday. You honestly have to be blind if you can’t see what this team lacks and what it needs more than anything else.

I agree. Well said. The point is that if we have a defense that is top 8-12, that should be good enough if you give the offense the weapons it needs to make it unstoppable. The problem is…will McD sign off on this? I don’t know if he will be ok with having a “good enough” defense.

That’s a good point. More reasons to load up on offense and make other teams try to keep pace with us.

What really makes this tough is that we spent an entire offseason a few years ago with the sole purpose of “sacking Mahomes”. It’s embarrassing. Im not sure how much more proof they need that this just might not be possible at a high rate. Philly had the best d line in the league last year and couldn’t touch him in the sb. We need to build this o around Allen and make it impossible to keep up with us.

Tough to blame injuries when our healthiest unit on d (the dline) failed to touch Mahomes.

I’m really thinking that we are just going to draft a more complete wr in the first and double dip somewhere in the third or fourth round and call it a day. With Diggs likely back, we have some vet leadership for the young guys.

I’m not sure about that. They got both poyer and Hyde in one FA period. They were both corners with position flexibility that allowed the bills to convert them to safety. I’d bet anything they are seeing who will be available on the FA market in a similar scenario where they could get them cheap and convert them.

Doubtful that neither white nor Elam will be converted to safety. Neither are strong tacklers which is what is required from that position. High as in round 3? No way it should be higher than that. McD took 2 late round corners and made them pro bowl safeties. We have other needs that need addressed by early picks.

I thought this same exact thing this morning. KC will be behind us again and needing the same thing we need. I expect Beane to move up for a WR for this reason. Can’t sit and hope our guy falls to us just to see KC pass us and get that guy.

Will he be there in the third?

Yeah. It’s pretty absurd to think the bills would take this approach yet again when it’s that exact approach that has gotten us into the current situation.

The only thing I’m positive about is that our season is over
