Watch all his targets. He can’t separate. He consistently has a DB all over him unless it’s a coverage breakdown .
For a guy that is touted as a 50/50 guy he sure doesn’t come down with a lot of balls
Just from watching the first 10 minutes of that video I saw him make more, high degree of difficulty, catches than Diggs or Davis did all of last year. Without watching the actual all-22 footage it's tough to determine how open he was on a lot of routes and then the window closes due to his qb missing the read or poor ball placement. On top of the fact that half his targets were screens or go routes. I don't think this video is as damning as you think it is.

This is called copium. We’ve all been there.
Colemans issue was never really smoothness. His problem is that he has no ability to seperate. Thats the issue. And none of his YouTube videos ever showed that getting better. He makes up for it by being incredibly skilled at adjusting to the ball and catching in contested spaces.
If I'm being honest that was the Bills WRs biggest problem last year "adjusting to the ball and catching in contested spaces" how many times did we fans watch Josh throw a dime to Davis and Diggs only to watch the ball hit the turf?
I'm sick of fans talking up how good Diggs is, and that Davis is a huge loss. They're both overrated and I say good riddance.
Maybe Coleman will actually make the circus catches I've grown accustomed to watching other teams make against the Bills. He cant be worse than Davis or Diggs, they're more liable to drop it than make a play.
Samuel isn't going to be huge drop-off from Diggs and getting Davis subbed off the field by a jag is addition by subtraction

Small sample size, yes. But boy did it spiral out of control FAST in all 2.25 games. In the most recent and only two full games, the Bills defense gave up TD-TD to start off each game. In the shortened game they gave TD and at least a for sure FG could have also easily been TD-TD in that one as well. Just no answers at all on defense in either of the three games.
Offense really never clicked in either as well.
Fair enough. The Bills defense as currently stands is vastly different than the Def that played against the Bengals those few times. If the offense gets going and doesn't feel the need to force the rock to an overhyped malcontent the games turn into shootouts instead of blowouts. Which turn into coin flips at the end of the day.
IMO, I'm glad they got rid of Tre, Hyde, Poyer, et al, I honestly think it boils down to the team being fed up with overpaid stars who've been playing well in spite of their talents, skills, athleticisim, etc. (Idk, maybe the defensive HC can actually coach guys up) I mean how much worse could the Def play against the Chiefs last year, Bengals the year before, or 13 second?

Also I hope Rice rots in a cell for the rest of his life. And the Chiefs and Benglas miss the playoffs in for the rest of the NFL's existence. Both, those teams and their fans, can frig right off.

I disagree. Bills have not really shown any hint at all that they can beat Cincy. We can't even be competitive with them. We are at least beating the Chiefs in the regular season and playing competitive game with them in the postseason. Cincy remains the Bills biggest challenge until proven otherwise. We just got lucky they didn't make the dance last year. They nearly did with a back up QB.
I mean the Bills have only played the Bengals 2.25 in the past few years since the Bills have been good, so to Cin has their number is disingenuous.
Sure,they got their butts whooped twice and it might very well have been 3 times for all we know. But only 1.25 of those games correlate to each other.
So many fans get caught up in these nuances instead of realizing how much actually luck goes into play during these games. Sure a great coach or player can swing some things but when you're talking the best of the best it's the little things that get lost in it all (for instance, Alllen missing Diggs in the Bengals game for a TD which without a doubt would've changed how the game played out)
The Bills biggest challenge is simply being the best version of their current selves. Just like the Chiefs, just like Bengals, Just like 49ers. The best team at the end of the year is the one who plays the best in the final game. It's that simple.
The Chiefs may not have been the best team the whole season last year but they were for the game counted most

That’s BS. I wasn’t hostile nor insulting to anyone until people started calling me out. Is the rule here that Bills fans get to insult fans from other teams without response?
New Era asked for my response to the events. My response was that he’s not going to serve jail time, and it didn’t impact the Super Bowl odds. In no way was I being an instigator.
Realistically, if I went to Chiefs planet or whatever cesspool you call home, and started trashing Chiefs fans and their critique of Diggs/the trade what would the response be?
Honestly, we all get this is the internet and you're welcome to voice your opinions but there's a thing called tact which you clearly lack.
If you want to have intelligent discussions about football or the Bills in general, this is the place. If you want to talk ***** to people about your favorite team go to fb, insta, or x and #Chiefs #NFL #Bills or whatever your proclivity.
This is a Bills message board. Get over youself

The San Francisco 49ers select Kris Abrams-Draine, DB, Missouri.

Thanks for making the pick. I'll have to let someone else take the reigns next time around

With the 63rd pick in the TSW mock draft the 49ers select Christian Mahogany, G, Boston College.
Not thrilled with the players available we decided to double dip on the OL. Mahogany slots in as a hopeful upgrade to Feliciano on the right side, where he can use his tenacity and pulling ability to open holes for McCaffrey and smash DBs in the open field in front of Deebo and Aiyuk on WR screens
(Considered Braelon Allen here as the thunder the to McCaffrey's lightning, having Henry 2.0 in that backfield would be insane. McCaffrey, Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, and Allen on the field in base sets would be insane)

With the 31st pick the SF 49ers select Jordan Morgan OL Arizona.
Can he play tackle is the big question but he can slide right in at Guard while the niners figure that out. Shanahan prioritizes OL and they are getting older. LTs can play a long time but not forever!
From Matt Miller "The 49ers were active in free agency, but they didn't do much regarding the offensive line, which struggled throughout the postseason. To me, that signals that the front office sees the draft class as a good opportunity to build there. Morgan played left tackle at Arizona, but he is seen by scouts as a potential guard at the next level. He has 37 games of experience and is a great mover in space. Morgan is a plug-and-play fit in the 49ers scheme."
@NewEra and the Chiefs are on the clock.
Thank you for stepping in. I apologize for missing the pick. That's the guy I would've taken so I'm happy about that. Sorry for slowing things down for everyone

3 hours ago, Virgil said:I have @NewErapick ready to go. With the draft day starting at 9a officially, @Hermeshas until noon to make his pick.
However, we've started to slow down with some people, so those who take the full 3 hours may not get a full 3 hours each pick. I want to have all 3 rounds done by Tuesday so we can get 2.0 rolling.
Sorry guys

This regime is good at identifying WR talent later in the draft (Davis, Hodgins, Shakir have all done well) but I question their ability to evaluate first round talent. In the 2020 draft, they didn't like the guys they scouted and proceeded to trade the 1st for Diggs. Meanwhile, they passed on the likes of Justin Jefferson, Aiyuk, Higgins, and Pittman. I'm happy with Diggs but the fact they didn't like these guys is a major red flag.
In all fairness the past few years the only one of those who's been on Diggs level has been Jefferson. So really it's a pretty even swap. Especially when you consider that JJ was a rookie taken late in the first. No one could've anticipated he'd surpass Diggs at this point. He'd be the No 1 pick (or close to it in a redraft).
So what you're saying is they correctly diagnosed (3 of 4) that Diggs would be better than. Maybe they didn't think Jefferson would be there and they're kicking themselves for it since they retroactively compared him to a Brian Thomas type prospect who'd be gone by their pick.
Nobody knows. Hopefully we find out soon, they're freaking awesome at it

I've been thinking about the idea of using a 2nd next year to move up in the 2nd this year along with 2 of the 6ths the team has. It would depend on how the draft plays out but we'll just say in the 1st they draft Franklin or Thomas, then around pick 40 or so, one of the other highly touted WRs starts to slide (Worthy, Leggett, McConkey, etc.)
How awesome would it be to see the team say you know what, let's force the other teams to play catch up, and add 2 guys to the mix that are going to make the Bills absolute matchup nightmares!? The amount of different looks the offense could come out in and just dictate to the defense what's going to happen would be absurd. The Bills could go from ground and pound to air-it-out and everything in between.
Ideally you'd be adding 2 WRs that are better than Davis and then saying try and stop us... The more I think about it, I'm all aboard the RD2 Trade Up Train

And i’m finally at the point where i’m not giving Diggs a pass anymore. I don’t know what the exact problem is, but we can’t have multiple dropped passes from our $20+ million dollar receiver in a playoff game. Just can’t.
He hasn't done much and the plan to force it to him so he gets his (along with a lack of other threats), has hurt the team

They have been pretenders all year. It's also not always about who is better. The Eagles don't want it this year. They're suffering the same demise as most Super Bowl participants the following year.
Fair enough. I think there's a few teams who've been in the mix the past few seasons, similar to the Ravens, Colts, and Steelers, during the Pats run that had potential to win any year. I'd put the 49ers, Eagles, and maybe the Lions, and Cowboys in that category, in the NFC. The rest are borderline.

Tampa can hardly beat their way out of a paper bag. The Rams have definitely been playing better but they don't look like a top team.. and Geno Smith is.. Geno Smith.. not a guy who instills much confidence. I could be wrong but I would be shocked if last year's league runner-up was one and done this year. Even if they lost to the Cardinals

I mean he had Shakir wide open for TD today. Literally wide open and a clean pocket. At some point he has to see that.
Yeah, it's frustrating that Allen for whatever reason has a hard time seeing when he has open guys. Not just for TDs but to extend drives. Whether it's an RB in the flat, or someone in that 5-15 yard range and he'll let one rip, or hold on too long and try to make something happen with his legs. It's almost like he gets tunnelvision on what he wants to happen. It's why he hasn't been MVP yet

Fact vs Fiction: "Keon Coleman is not a separator"
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
At this point, from my perspective, the Bills brass wants two types of WRs; big strong bully types (Coleman, Shorter, Cephus, Hollins, Knox, maybe Kincaid), and fast, shifty, precision types (Samuel, Shakir, Hamler, Isabella, maybe Kincaid). Not only that, they want to be multiple, meaning, able to run the full playbook with each of these guys lined up at any of position.
It's hard to type it all out but I'm imagining a playback where on any given play the defense is legitimately guessing who's getting the ball because anyone realistically anyone could and have not only a positive, but potentially major impact on any given play because of the mismatch problems these formations present.
The Bills might even transition to a heavy screen team given the amount Coleman ran and having speedy WRs and backs to catch out of the backfield. Having Kincaid and Coleman lined up in trips with Samuel off the line behind them and Knox on the opposite side of the line and Cook lined up next to Allen in shotgun present a number of match up problems that I can't imagine many teams can run with.
All of this said, that's my vision for the Bills offense, a multiple, spread offense that can condense to heavy formations and big body teams to wear them down and create even more opportunities late in the game from teams chasing around the fast guys and taking shots from the bullies.
