That's correct - we got out from under 4 years of $20M+ cap hits and got a 2nd round draft pick for our trouble. If the Diggs of the second half of last season is the Diggs that we see in Houston there's going to be a lot of people eating their words about this trade.

I am not sure that the details are correct. According to the archive of the team website, the only two offensive coaches that had any type of long professional playing career from 2004-2007 were Sam Wyche the quarterbacks coach and Tom Clements (CFL) the offensive coordinator with both playing 12 years. It's hard to imagine either getting into it with a rookie, undrafted backup offensive lineman.

I am terrified from my experience that if true that might be a truly awful sign. Praying you're right

While the top quarterbacks in the entire NFC are Rodgers ... ... ... Prescott, Murray, Stafford, Cousins (?)

The AFC West is so loaded if this goes through.

A smart move from the Bills. Let Beasley and his team go out there and see what the market looks like. If he finds a team willing to part with assets for him and/or fulfill his contract requests, we gladly part ways. If not, maybe he accepts playing out the last year of his deal here or restructuring into a new deal.

This will not get a vote and is a total publicity stunt. It also isn't small government for the federal government to dictate to a state or local government how they spend their resources. As to the merits of public investment in a new stadium the calculus is clear: any developer investing hundreds of millions of dollars in New York is getting significant public support. The Buffalo Bills are a valuable enough asset for the region that public investment makes perfect sense when combined with a significant private investment from the Pegulas.

R1: 25 - WR Chris Olave, Ohio State A polished receiver with great hands who projects perfectly into the role departed by Emmanuel Sanders with a ton of upside. The perfect compliment for Diggs and Davis for years to come. R2: 57 - CB Kyler Gordon, Washington The replacement for the cerebral if athletically limited Levi Wallace. While our coaches and safeties have had to compensate for a lack of athleticism opposite Tre'Davious White, Kyler Gordon has all the physical gifts to match up with anyone and allow us to get more aggressive in the secondary. R3: 89 - DT Neil Farrell Jr., LSU The eventual replacement for Star Lotulelei with the ability to rotate immediately on early downs as a run stopper and upside rushing the passer. R4: 127 - CB Marcus Jones, Houston A top flight athlete and incredible return specialist with the potential to contribute in the slot on defense, R5: 166 - P Matt Araiza, San Diego State The second piece to solving our special teams struggles. R6: 184 - DT Noah Elliss, Idaho A big boy with incredible power as an early down run stuffer and goal line anchor with the potential to rotate on early downs at the one technique. R6: 202 - C Luke Wattenberg, Washington A versatile and athletic player for the Huskies with 48 starts at tackle and guard before seamlessly transitioning to center this season. The exact type of player this team loves for depth on the line. R7: 242 - TE Cameron Latu, Alabama A underutilized asset at Alabama who started on defense before a sophomore transition to offense. He had the biggest game of his career in the College Football Playoff against Georgia and could push Tommy Sweeny for snaps as a second tight end. I took at shot at the PFF Mock Draft Simulator and would be thrilled if we got lucky enough to have these guys on the board particularly in the early rounds.

I think some of this is likely because we are one of the leaders in air yards per completion. By design if you are throwing the ball further down the field you give the defense more of an opportunity to make a quick stop.

It just doesn't make sense though. Everybody struggles with the Chiefs. They're a great team and it's going to be a struggle to contain them, especially in big games. In 11 playoff games they've been held to less than 30 points twice. Saying that the solution to our mixed record in a very small sample against the Chiefs is to take a proven statistical strength and weaken it in the hopes of changing the result against the Chiefs is silly. It's like losing a few hands of blackjack with 20 and saying you know what, I'm going to hit 20 because I can't beat the dealer when they have 21. The odds of weakening our position is just so much higher than the odds that one of these retread coaches improves what is already a strength.

They played a better playoff game against the Chiefs than we did, that's for sure. But they also gave up 41 points to the Browns, 34 points to the Jets, and 41 points to the Chargers this season. If the negative on the Bills as stated by the critics is stat padding against bad/average teams, what happens when you loose to them and give up 30+ points to the Jets and 40+ points to the Browns?

Step forward - after outperforming expectations two years ago the team held up to the pressure of being one of the best and proved that they belong in the conversation as a Superbowl contender.

Thank you for living up to your user name and hitting the nail on the head. There isn't a coach in the league that is going to get more out of the group of guys we have than our current coaching staff. I would add for @FilthyBeast and the other critics: name a better defense than ours last year, even tougher, name a better defense in the NFL since Leslie Frazier took over as our defensive coordinator.

Championship teams don't fire the coordinator of their number one ranked offense or defense because of the outcome of two drives against one of the most capable teams in the league.

I'll be standing by for your apology.
