I have a feeling Keon's numbers in college (with a bunch of games with a backup QB) are not that predictive. Just like another Bills player by the name of Josh Allen.

“Thanks to his basketball background, Coleman “big brothers” cornerbacks up and down the field using size, strength and athleticism. But what really separates him as a pass catcher is his dominance with the ball in the air. Not only can he overpower defenders at the catch point, but he also makes leaping acrobatic stabs appear routine with his natural body control and extraordinary catch radius.“
This sounds like the perfect WR for Josh.

At least 18 games is better numerically.
16 games was perfect.

Now, if I could run 20 plays on the goal line, I think I could throw a few TDs!
Fake the handoff (can it be to Derrick Henry?) and lob a play-action pass to a tight end or tackle eligible...
Hit a fade to the corner off a 3 step drop... could I have Randy Moss?
If Andy Reid schemed me up a wide open swing pass to Thurman Thomas...
It's fun to dream :)

Upon reflection, thinking I could go 1-50 was being way too kind to myself.
I don’t think I could complete a pass against an NFL defense.

1-50, 4 yards, 0 TD, 29 INT
If they’re allowed to hit me:
0-4, 0 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT

I watched the Chiefs divisional game again and paid attention to Diggs’ drop. I was at the game so didn’t get to see a slow motion replay or a great angle of it live.
Watching it over, I don’t think it was that easy of a catch. It was hard to track the ball through the defender’s arms and with such a long trajectory. Also hard to overstate how bitterly cold it was out there.
I’ve seen Tyreek Hill drop much easier passes, multiple times in one game…

Josh will be motivated to show who he is without Stef…
Might be a career year coming up, with Shakir, Kincaid, Samuel, a rookie, Knox and Cook as his top targets.

Maybe being an absolute genius at your craft (like him and Kanye) makes you overrate your own intelligence on other topics?

Thanks for this, Beck W.
WR salaries are set to rise a lot, according to the Athletic.
I think this means even more that we need to be drafting our next WR1.
Josh Allen is set to start phase 3 of his career. In Phase 1 (2018, 2019) he was learning. Phase 2 (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) he had Diggs (who I loved, for the record) and Co. For Phase 3, he needs a cost controlled WR room that is reliable and interchangeable, with no one receiver demanding the ball. A costly free agent WR or a top of the first round rookie tend to expect more targets.
All of this says WR1 in the late first round or lower is a better fit, so I hope that's what we do.

Time was, Tasker was cool.
What a demon on ST. Just flying around wreaking havoc. You loved to see it.
And the year he played a fair amount of WR and actually did well... fun times!

I am starting to agree with Diggs more and more. We will always be loyal Bills fans, and if Diggs is still playing in the league five years from now, that will be impressive. He recognized that the team was not going to make it to the Super Bowl and made the decision to leave. I wish him the best of luck, and I would always choose Buffalo over Houston any day. However, if we get eliminated from the playoffs, I might root for another team for the first time since I was 12. Instead of being bitter and angry, I would just root for Diggs.
Thank you. He wasn’t wrong.
However, he has no future as a diplomat.

You could say the difference between Josh and Mahomes in the playoffs is Spagnuolo.
The difference between Josh and Burrow is Anarumo.
And the narrative won’t change until we beat one of them. -
Most national media has dated, simplistic narratives because they don't pay close enough attention.
And yeah, their narrative is that Josh gets hyper and crazy when the pressure is highest--it got formed by stuff like the Houston playoff game.
It will stick until Josh beats Mahomes or Burrow in the playoffs, or gets to a Super Bowl.

well good luck finding those players!!!!True. Well we got Josh Allen. And I think Diggs and Kincaid have that potential, but we need to get them going in the biggest games.
-
No way. This guy is the opposite of a game changer.
We need less medium-good players, and more guys who wreck playoff games.

I agree Rapp looked bad, but it looked like he turned a corner the last three games of the regular season or so. Less kamikaze, more anticipating the play. He looked like a young Poyer out there.

Sad. Gotta appreciate every day we have.

Also, about people who say he can't win a Super Bowl: “You can’t listen,” said McDermott, who’ll turn 50 next month. “I believe we’re doing things the right way. You only fail if you quit, and I’ve never done that. I’ve never been about that. Whatever it is, you always figure it out. You always find a way to get there. The only thing left to do for us at this point is win an AFC championship and win a Super Bowl, which is pretty darn good. There’s not too many organizations that can say that over the last seven years. We’ve done everything else you can do, and that is what gets us out of bed in the morning.”
About the tough losses the Bills have had: “Anybody that says they’re not affected by a loss in this line of work isn’t being honest,” McDermott said. “There’s a degree of, ‘Hey, did I do the right thing? Did I do enough to help my team?’ But then you need to be able to come back to ‘No, I know I gave it my all. I put in everything I could have put into it.’
“We’ve played those games once, but I’ve played them a million times in my mind. Every last one of them from the first game against the Jets in 2017 to that game right there a million times. That’s where your confidence gets affected the most because then you start to lose who you are and trusting your gut and your experience and your preparation.”
About the fake punt to Hamlin against KC: “Had I not faked that punt, with what I knew going into that situation, it would have been a failure had I not tried,” McDermott said. “I would have gone home that night saying, ‘What would have happened had I faked that punt?’ It didn’t work out that specific situation in that in that particular moment, but I need to do everything I can to help our team win.”

I was 18 for the first Super Bowl, 22 for the fourth. Huge Bills fan, still living at home in Buffalo for the first two, then in college. I attended the last one at the Georgia Dome with my dad. We were sure we had that one.
It did, indeed, feel like someone important had died.

I have had the same experience, the games come and go and I don't obsess about the losses as much anymore. I think 13 seconds, and then the Bengals letdown kind of broke my optimism.
I was also at the Chiefs playoff game and it was such a strange feeling, filing out with so many thousands of fans. Like it just ended so quickly, and we didn't have much to say. Everyone was mostly just quiet.
I really feel like we can get a deep threat with great hands and we can take home the trophy next year. GO BILLS.

Sorry guys, my 16 month old daughter got ahold of my phone 😅
Have no idea how she actually made a post…
Hopefully I’m not already banned!

I think they gave him the big contract partly for potential (those early angry runs) and partly because he's a team guy and McDermott loves him.

On tape the way he completes that last yard to drop the QB is electric.
Closes likes a shark.
