i guess that is a "yes" on the Jets too!Predict: you will have an immensely disappointing this coming year, again, as your preferred teams don't, again, come close to knocking off the Bills.
Best Wishes!
Wait, which team are you speaking of here? Dolphins, I assume-? I hope!
Yes.

What makes you say that their coaching staff is better than the Bills?
The Bills dominate them, have done a lot more, have actually been a contender, even last year with a slew of major injuries both early in the season and late in the season.
So, can you explain your point, why you believe this?
Or, is it just a joke, sarcasm?
I am assuming the latter is the case-?
Yes, the coaching staff that led two epic collapses over the last two years. That can’t beat a winning team.

Polar opposite of the smurfs from Allen's early days.
I wonder if the moves are a counter to the league trends towards the passing game that have resulted in smaller, but faster defenders who can cover.
Fine, you want to play that way, we'll just bulldoze your arses with 2 TE and big WRs. Let Cook juke his way through while Ray Davis and Josh Allen run over and past everyone else. If the defenders try to cheat up, we've got big guys with great hands who can move the chains from the slot, RBs who can slide out and catch, or contested catches on the outside. Maybe we'll be seeing a little more from the screen passe game than we have in recent years.
I think that's where they're going with this.
Great observation. Beane has been talking about needing to adapt on both offense and defense to stay ahead of trends, for months now. It actually started last year with the drafting of Torrence and Kincaid. Building a bully?

If he gets 80 receptions, he will definitely be over 1000 yards. He is too good after the catch not to be. Cole was amazing at getting to a spot and making the play to move the chains. He wasn't the YAC guy that Shakir is, Cole was easy to take down and tackle.
Shakir is also far more versatile than Beasley, capable of making passing game plays at intermediate and deep areas of the field as well as the short hitches and slants that Beasley lived on. I think he and Samuel are very similar players so it will be fascinating to watch how Brady incorporates them both. I am not sold on depth as yet, and Coleman has to rise to his potential, but I like the Bills top 3 WRs combined skill sets.

I don’t know, from everything I know Diggs was a great teammate and hard worker. He just didn’t want to play for the Bills anymore.
Gabe Davis and Shakir looked up to him and both developed great work habits. I don’t think Diggs would’ve been a bad influence.
Hard worker yes, to some extent. Great teammate? Not so much. Allen was not the only one tired of his act by all accounts.

So I have 12 negative post, tell me 1 thing Beane has done outside of Josh Allen? I will wait. No SB appearances will not be replied to for sure. Divisional kings which no one cares for except Homer's. Epic failure, no WRs in the top 3 rounds in 5y years being the only NFL team to do so. Our epic and overpaid defense has failed every year, and we have a generational qb that will go down as the best qb to never male a SB. Keep pounding that table Homers
Why negatives? You are a tiresome troll, that’s why.

Ugh. I had hopes that it was DJ Chark
Even if the plan is to add an established veteran like Chark, and I am not convinced it is, they do not have the cap space to do that until after June 1.

Yeah it’s the 1st and 2nd rounders they have problems finding.
let’s not even get into the 17 RBs they’ve taken in the 3rd round only to let them go after 2 years.
Zack Moss. What are the other 16?

Ha, I agree. But they have gone about half a round ago.
Disappointing that they did not make a move for one of the three remaining interesting WR prospects.

Sure. I am not saying for a minute Keon can't play. Of course he can. But I think someone else said it above he is a complimentary piece rather than a feature piece. To me if we had drafted him a year ago when we had a bona fide 1 and we were asking him to be an upgrade on Gabe I'd be very happy with that. That is what I think he is. I just worry we don't have a #1.
I think this is spot on. Coleman is an upgrade to Davis and that was clearly a need. I was not expecting a number 1 with this pick, and never thought Legette was that guy but he might develop into it I suppose. When they dumped Diggs they set up this dilemma. Perhaps since my expectation was not to come out of this draft with a true number 1 unless they somehow magically traded up for a top 3 guy or got very lucky, it explains the lack of desperation I feel over the Coleman pick. They were always going to have to approach this differently this year. I think if they can manage to add a guy today with some speed and Z receiver developmental upside they should be OK for this year. They may still sign a FA who can fill that role temporarily. In the meantime, Coleman is an upgrade at the X spot for sure.

Just skimmed through this. Many of the same people with the same bad takes you will find this year. Fun exercise. Thanks.

lol…..now Xavier Worthy is Tyreek Hill 2.0 🤦🏻♂️
People fall in love with speed. He is an incomplete receiver, a niche player, and not what the Bills needed. He may end up being more than that, but chances are far greater in my mind that he gets added to the pile of speed demons in NFL history who never grow beyond their gadget role. He will make some plays for KC, but I would be surprised if he rises above role player.

It better be a WR. Franklin is my guess. Coleman would not surprise me, but I hope not.

Deebo is not happening. He is a very poor scheme fit and not what they are looking for to fill their WR holes.

I tried to listen to Jeremy and his little friend this morning but had to turn it off. It was endless repeat of their hot takes over yesterday and the callers they selected which were even worse. An exercise in brainless analysis.

The chiefs did it to us when we needed a db and took mcduffie out from under us. Forcing us to trade up for Elam. What do they know as back to back champs.
The Bills wee never going to draft McDuffie. He was known coming out as a slot corner in skill set which is what he is. The Bills had just signed their own slot corner, one of the best in the league, to a hefty long term deal. Honestly, I cannot understand why anyone continues to believe this fairly tale other than pushing a stale narrative.

Tyreek Hill is an ignorant POS, who happens to play for an organization led by other ignorant POS coaches and managers. Sooner than later he will be washed out of football and be left with nothing but his POS nature to sustain him through life.

I hope it works out for you guys, but Devils fans were calling for his head long before last year ever happened.
Trust me, they won 52 games in spite of Lindy.
It's all in the past as the Devils have moved on.
Good luck to you guys.
No team wins 52 games “in spite of(sic)” their coach. That is just nonsense.

So I guess people thought that Terry was going to live forever and the Government will waive inheritance taxes for the Bills owners. This is the least surprising development this month with the Bills. When you have an asset that triples in value in a relatively short term, turning some of that appreciation into cash is certainly not unusual, especially when you have a near term need for $600 m in cash or so in addition to some estate planning to do. A minority owner at this point changes absolutely nothing with respect to the Bills long term prospects in WNY. In fact, the finances of this deal may well increase the chances that the Pegulas can keep control in the family for the long term. It seems that this is the intent.

Interesting. I have heard New England really likes JJ and that he very well could be the guy at #3.
I hope so.

I was not sure where else to post this but mods please merge if appropriate.
For those of you with Athletic access, Brugler’s 7 round mock draft posted today. Linked above. If you are not familiar with him, he publishes an excellent compendium and ranking of NFL draft prospects each year that can also be found on the Athletic. He has the Bills trading up with Jacksonville to 17 using their first this year, two fourths, and a second next year to take Brian Thomas. He has us with Cole Bishop, Safety in the second, and Javon Baker, WR in the third. This seems like an excellent result to me, but certainly interested in what the more knowledgeable draft gurus around here think.
I would be thrilled with Thomas in particular. Bishop seems more of a box safety but does have some cover skills as well. Baker is a potential replacement to Gabe’s role on this team, but with more ability to get open in intermediate routes. Good YAC ability as well.

People would like to drop out of Round 1, 13 total spots, to move up 2 spots in Round 2 and then get the 24th pick of the 3rd Round? That would put GB @ #28 and then the rest seen below before we pick. You still think we would get an impact WR at that point? I don't.
This does set them up perfectly for that rotational DL we have all been craving though.

Maybe I just watch the wrong sports media but I’m blown away by how this has played out. Every single offseason the national media basically said that Diggs was a malcontent that was causing friction on his team and with his QB. He’d throw out those famous cryptic tweets and every media outlet would take 30 minutes deciphering how unhappy he was. His brother flat out trashed his QB and Josh did nothing.
Now Diggs is traded and Josh Allen fed up after 1 loss makes an offhand remark (mind you no one seems to know what Diggs said before that remark) and that’s the whole story now. The Bills got robbed, Diggs is going to be part of one of the best offenses in the league, he’s suddenly a top 5 WR again. But man Josh Allen yelled at him ONCE.
Just crazy how it all flipped.
Trashing Buffalo and the Bills is a national pastime. This is nothing new.

Bills sign Chase Claypool, Smoot, Jones
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I agree. My concern is with back up plans. I think the depth is suspect. This is why a second WR prospect, even in the 4th or 5th round, was a popular desire with many fans. The Bills obviously disagree. At least they are willing to take the chance that the depth they have assembled is better than a prospect in those rounds this year. That could work. I do think they still would have rather had OBJ than Claypool, but if that was not to be , I like the upside of Claypool.
