90sBills

At best it’s even, roster wise, compared to last year. But it’s not a step back. Bills will still win the division and be #2 or #3 in the playoffs again. That’s where it will end. This roster hasn’t taken any significant steps forward in terms of talent so it’s difficult to envision getting past the divisional. That’s our ceiling the last few years and it won’t change.

Can’t believe the amount of people that didn’t immediately knew this is fake.

This has been the trend of the league the last few years. It forces offenses to be patient and matriculate the ball down the field. It works because not too many qb’s have the patience to do this without committing mistakes along the way. Yes we need a cheaper replacement for Diggs. That contract, along with Von’s, is a noose around this organization. But don’t expect the deep bombs to comeback with regularity regardless of which receivers Bills add. The game is about being patient and minimizing mistakes from the qb position. Methodically moving the ball down the field while playing keep away from your opponent. Of course that conversation will continue in the many many threads addressing it. lol

I used to think this. Especially after 13 sec. Now it’s more ‘As long as the Bills have Allen there’s a chance of winning the division’. Winning a championship will depend on a lot more than having Allen as qb.

Can I reserve my judgment until next Jan? Anything prior seems pointless.

Comp picks are after the regular picks I believe. So essentially a little better. Especially if the Titans are bad again. They didn’t really gain an extra 7th either. Just flipped theirs with Tenn. Really just a case of getting whatever they can for a player they wouldn’t be able to keep.

He’s definitely a great player. But I thought he played just ok in the Super Bowl. Gave up that TD to Jennings. Then would’ve given up the go ahead TD to Jennings in OT if there wasn’t pressure from Chris Jones on Purdy.

They already have a stable of good corners ready to contribute. Even then they’ll probably draft a guy in the 7th that will be a star in 2 yrs. Kinda their MO at this point.

It depends on how good the Titans will do this coming season. That could be a pick in the 60s.

Isn’t McDuffie already a full time starter for them? I think Jaylen Watson will slide right in for Snead. Physical corner with a knack for the ball similar to Snead.

I mostly agree with you on your analysis. He’s a really good corner and will certainly be paid top 5 money for sure. But the days of lockdown corners taking away 1/2 the field are over in today’s NFL. It’s better to develop young db’s and help them by investing in pass rushers.

Not to the extent that Mahomes is doing it. It’s basically an ota session without the coaches. He even has draft prospects working out with him during these camps. So him and KC get to scout them first hand and see which fits their system. Not sure how that’s legal to be honest.

Would you change your mind once the financials are disclosed and they’re paying him 20m aav? I think teams knew KC couldn’t afford to have him on the roster so all the leverage was gone.

They probably already have his replacement on their roster. Still terrible return for a quality player so that’s a good thing.

Wow. That is surprisingly low. KC lost this trade.

No one else holds a receiver camp for their teams during the offseason. That’s obvious to me.

So what you’re saying is it’s possible to participate in other aspects of life and still able to work hard on football during the offseason. No one is saying Mahomes only does football 24/7. But it’s obvious he does more than other top qb’s during the offseason.

No. I’m basing this on Mahomes offseason camps with his receivers. Also the fact that he has already met up KC’s newest signing. The fact that he has time to do this despite making all those commercials is actually impressive.

Exactly! Thank you! Just pointing things out is like committing a capital crime against Allen. He’s a great qb and could potentially bring championship to the franchise. It’s all good. Relax. Go Bills!

Reid has said that because of this they’re able to start Phase 2 when OTA begins so they’re ahead of most teams. I’m sure the reps that Mahomes get with his receivers don’t hurt either. Anyway I didn’t say Allen was bad for not doing this. I said that Mahomes is clearly driven to be the best and that is benefiting his team on the field. Not sure why that’s so controversial.

Still not believable with how all these guys having their own social media accounts. You know Diggs would for sure post if something like that happened. For Mahomes’ camp you should look it up. It’s pretty common knowledge. He has them in Texas. That’s how they ended up drafting Rashee Rice. Rice was there along with several other prospects. KC receivers were all there as well. Getting NFL players to show up for non team events during the offseason to run drills is a miracle in and of itself. I guess you could call that great leadership. These sessions may or may not ‘move the needle’ like you said. At the very least it starts a bond between the franchise qb and his new teammates. For whatever struggles KC had during the season they sure put it all together in the end. They were together for almost a calendar year time wise so that bond of playing for one another to achieve an objective must be really strong.

You really think if something like that would happened without the Bills social media team being on top of it in this day and age? Mahomes holds annual offseason camps to work with his receivers…current and newly added. He even works with draft prospects that would want to participate. Like I said not everyone is driven like this and it’s ok. But it’s clear he is driven to be the best and it shows on the field.

I believe his nickname is Showtime Mahomes.

It’s so crazy that they’re already doing that. Rashee Rice was also working out with them. Would love to see Allen, Samuel, and Diggs get together like that outside of team events. But not everyone has that drive in them. Mahomes is clearly on another level when it comes to being driven for success and it shows on the field.

Kidding aside I thought he played great for KC down the stretch. He was signed on as depth but had to fill in due to injuries. Can’t ask for more than that with his price tag. Hopefully he’ll play similarly for the Bills.
