Slightly off topic, but we were never going to take McDuffie regardless. He’s a slot corner, not a boundary corner, and we already had an excellent one in Taron Johnson. In fact the 2 all pros this season for the slot corner position were Taron Johnson and McDuffie.

If a top 10 drafting team already has their QB on a rookie contract, it might make sense to pay a veteran WR (because they can afford it) rather than roll the dice on a rookie. Kind of like how we initial did with Diggs. It's the teams who have QBs on a franchise QB contract that really need WRs on rookie deals.

Hendrickson is ridiculously good. Sucks for the Bengals!

I think we have too many holes to spend a bunch of capital trading up for something that isn’t even a sure thing anyway. Spend the capital on a sure thing (vet WR trade), or stay pat and plug holes.

He's gotten two separate teams to 50 wins since he left the Sabres. He's a competent coach. News flash, all NHL head coaches get fired frequently. 25/32 current NHL head coaches have been with their teams 2 years or less.

That H helmet looks awful. I like the idea of the horn helmet, but the foreground and background colors are too close. They needed more contrast, or a white outline of the horn.

These sound like made up football players for a comedy sketch.

If the purpose of the game is to get a completion, then I think I could get 1. Line up in shotgun every play. Immediately throw it in the direction of a receiver (can’t even risk getting hit or it’s all over). Most passes are incomplete. Probably like 10-15 are intercepted. At least one would involve a WR making a play on my behalf.

I think the defense looked significantly worse when all the injuries hit this last season. I think this upcoming year will be a bit of a re-tool type season, with some youth on the defense filling starting roles, and young players on offense at the skill positions also taking on new roles with more touches/targets. I would say the goal this year should be to win the division, and then anything beyond that is gravy. If everything goes perfectly we could win the Super Bowl (with Allen anything is possible).

Hear me out… Pats are on the clock at #3, with Drake Maye being the top QB available. Let’s say hypothetically the Vikings are obsessed with Maye and want him at any cost. Vikings and Bills have a deal prearranged where we send them our first this year, next year and our 2nd round pick next year for Jefferson and a draft pick (maybe a 3rd this year). The Vikings send 11, 23, and next year’s Bills 1st to move up and get their guy (pricier than the draft chart, but they pay a premium to get a QB). They still have 28 to take a WR to backfill Jefferson. (not a rumor, just my own delusion)

We had like 17 years of dull moments, I'll pass on that

Considering the NFL is basically a money printer, I'm surprised something like cost overruns can cause a partial sale to cover it. I would think there would be some sort of financing available to cover the overruns using the team as collateral (but maybe there are rules against that, or maybe the interest rates are too high to make that option worth it).

I think I still want Xavier Worthy at 28 if we don’t move around. His speed is ridiculous and he’s an actual WR, not just a track star. Imagine Allen using his full arm strength on a deep bomb and having a WR capable of actually running under it. We haven’t had that, so Allen has been under throwing his deep bombs (leading to some INTs).

I think Maybin became an artist. Oh, you meant football career?

They have the space this year if they want it, and they will have even more space next year because they are eating Diggs’ cap hit this year, and Miller will be cut (not to mention all of the available restructures and the cap going up).

If Allen has 4 turnovers in the season opener again this year, then I’m blaming this.

I’m willing to entertain the possibility that we might be dealing with multiple curses here.

Maybe this will lift some sort of curse that had been on the franchise?

Your poll options don’t really make sense because they aren’t mutually exclusive. I would say no hard feelings, time to move on from a declining player. I think the front office had planned to do this next offseason, but things got moved ahead of schedule. In terms of all time Bills greats, I would put Diggs in the second group with Lee Evans and Stevie Johnson. With Andre Reed and Eric Moulds being in the top group.

Did he have an actual DWI, or did he have a “DWI” like Ed Oliver got? I’m not sure I trust Texas police at this point.

I think this is spot on. I don’t think we’ll “miss” the 2024 season version of these players. But I’m not sure we have adequate replacements to come near their 2020-2022 performance.

If he even catches it. Feels like there was a 50% completion percentage on those plays.

Watkins partially busted because we had mediocre QBs, and he broke his foot (and was never the same after that). My understanding is he had some substance abuse issues in Buffalo, especially while sitting around with his injury. We don’t have a mediocre QB now, and injuries are always a risk no matter what you do. Doesn’t seem relevant to our current situation.

Poking around the web, it seems like 49ers fans think they are going to get a first and a good roster player for Aiyuk. I really doubt it. They chose to pay Deebo, so Aiyuk is on his way out one way or another eventually which weakens their negotiating position.

I really like Aiyuk. I would do a deal that doesn’t include this year’s first rounder. Then I would structure an extension that gives him a low cap hit this year.
