I haven’t followed hockey since the team was good. Just can’t.
Will say I am surprised they fired the coach. Expected more of the same. Hopefully they can get a proven guy, someone that can get the most out of our roster.
Not sure who the big names are. Someone mentioned Tortorella. Loved the fire he has had as a HC through the years, latest record isn’t so good. Ruff, also latest records not great. Had one winning season out of four with NJ, one of the other three was only 30-27. Loved his passion and honesty when he was with us. Probably need some young blood - someone who can reach the players.

Can’t help but look back at the trade. What would have been?Wouldn’t have had Tre’ either.

Bills traded away pick that was used to select GOAT player.
I understand the situation at the time but it just adds to the misery of a franchise that is a punchline.
Yeah. But we wouldn’t have landed Josh, who I’d much rather have.Also, doesn’t mean PM would have been as good as he is in Buffalo.

I'm going to tell you what will happen with Stroud....
CJ will distribute the ball around the field, whether Diggs is involved in the play is irrelevant, however, when Diggs believes he's not getting his share of catches, he'll go after Stroud......which in turn, will start to diminish CJ's confidence in leading the team.
I believe, having a player likes Diggs is a bad pairing for a young QB.
Diggs will question every play, every QB decision, everything. He is going to make that kids life a nightmare. He will make him 2nd guess everything and when things get bad enough, CJ will just start distributing the ball around to everyone not named Diggs because he won't want to deal with him, which will make the situation even worse.
The dude is a cancer.......better to gut it and get rid of it, but unfortunately, our cancer is now firmly latched onto another young QB to wreak havoc.
If diggs was still on a multi year contract, I’d agree.
I agree he is a cancer. Thing is, he will most likely be on his best behavior, along with telling his brother to stop the garbage tweets. He will want to be a “team player”. He wants to create a highest bidder situation for next year, and some teams may not want a guy who’s forced himself off two teams and wants the payday.
The picture of him watching the chiefs celebrate at the time made us feel he was a team player. Hate to say, I can see now that may have been a contrived act.

What a shame. So unfortunate he could never find the real killer.
I heard they took all the mirrors out of his house.edit: interesting not a single mention on Buffalobills.com or the app.

I’ll be in my backyard hot tubbing it!
Have huge pines lining my yard on the south and west sides. Will block most of the sun. Mostly looking forward to it being dark at that time. Will be interesting.

Maddy Glab vindicated. Basically all the hot mic caught was Maddy saying Diggs was difficult to work with.
3 things cannot be hidden- the sun, the moon, and the truth
Won’t the sun be hidden in a few days? 😂Regarding Glab. Must be brutal to have to pretend to the public how wonderful a person, or situation is. While behind the scenes, that person may be a locker room cancer. I’m sure there are plenty of behind the scenes actions that will go untold. I’m taking this move as addition by subtraction.

what i notice watching the video that sets him apart from our other receivers is this.
when he has to turn is body to catch the ball and then turn back around and run his pivot point is very small..especially on the edge which
makes me a lot more elusive. watch others and they make a looping turn and get takin down.
also good power and balance lets him bounce off tackles.
He is also very good about catching the ball and immediately getting it into a protected position. Sounds goofy but watching the tape he engulfs the ball. Dude just knows how to catch the ball.He has great football awareness. Knows where the defenders are and has the ability to make immediate football moves. Ability to slip and slide and make extra yards. Good sideline awareness.
I think came on strong last year. That wouldn’t be the sole reason we traded Diggs, but certainly gave the Bills some peace of mind.

Isn't 31 mil in dead cap a cap nightmare ?
Not really. His 28 million salary was on the cap regardless if Diggs was here or not. That doesn’t change. Only 4 million dead money was added to the cap this year. Plus we get a ton of cap relief next season.Beane got himself in a place where he had cap space and made the best move for the team. Remember, there is another 10 million more in cap space after Tre’s post June 1 hits the books.
Yes, it may keep us from signing a big money WR. Unless, they get creative in pushing dollars to the backend of a new guys contract. Expect as least 2 receivers to be drafted in the higher rounds for sure and another FA.
The question that needs to be asked is, are the Bills better or worse after trading Diggs? I say the same, or better. I admit I was shocked and saddened when I saw he was traded. But one must look at his stats and impact on the team.Stats - production dropped off at the end of last season for sure. Couple that with less than stellar playoff stats. And not just this past years playoffs. We will get another receiver. With that new guy, and our existing guys, Josh will continue to have success.
Impact - Cap relief next year. And if the stories are true that he was a cancer in the locker room, better off he is gone.

Cosell made an interesting point, WRs tend to fall in the draft almost every year. I think about the Jeudy draft, Lamb and Jeudy all fell 5-7 spots from their rankings. Garrett Wilson fell a few spots to the Jets in 22
WR wasn't a pick until 20 last year.
Not that it's a fact, but those mocks that have Odunze/Nabers/Harrison ALL going by pick 9... they may not be incredibly accurate to how teams draft. Maybe one falls to 13-15 potentially, and then a team makes a move.
Some WR will shoot up the board. Feel McKonkey is the one this year, will allow another WR to fall. -

Not sure why they did not wait until after June 1st, cap savings much higher and they could have signed another WR to help. I don't want to hear excuses if the season goes bad. Someone needs to be fired, no more built in excuses.
Got best value for him.Texans wanted picks this year, albeit low round. Couldn’t happen if post June 1.

Spotrac isn't up to date yet, but I think we get something like $5-10M back in cap space next year. I believe there is still some dead money, but ultimately we get some relief.
I thought the Bills would have waited until after June 1. I remember that in that scenario the Bills would have gotten $19M in 2024 relief and $5M in 2025.
Houston got draft picks for this year, so couldn’t have been a post June 1. Wonder what a post June 1 trade would have looked like?-

Using round numbers it is $28M on the roster $31M off the roster. Effectively trading Diggs only costs us an additional $3M compared to keeping him.
Got it!Is there dead money next year also? If not, not a bad move IMHO.

Question.
We eat only 4 million this year, not the 31 million?
How does the 31 million dead money on 2024 play out?

Beane doesn’t do this unless he has a plan. Not sure what the heck it is. Tough to move up this year with next years 2nd round pick.
Am I unhappy to see him go? Not really. If he really was that unhappy being here. Fine.
Really wish we didn’t resign him TBH. Cap hit must be enormous.

Only thing is can they get there.
Other teams will know what they did and ask a kings ransom to move up.

Punter to center TD earlier game today was cool.
Vinny Papale just scored a nice toe drag drag TD. Son of Eagles great Vincent Papale. Had no clue his son was a pro football player. CFL, Spring League and USFL.

Do you have the computer on a surge suppressor? Bad power probably not what caused the power supply to go belly up, but important to have surge suppression.
How old was the power supply? They do have a habit of going bad, usually when older.

Looking forward to the first weekend. Not expecting a lot, hope it’s fun to watch.

Morse is a bigger than loss people think. Great repport with Josh and smart guy to call the line.
As said above, are we treading water or making a step forward?
I don’t see us as better with the moves so far as much as stayed the same.-

i would rather pour lemon juice in my eyes
The Rams/Panthers divisional game on prior to this one was a good game. 2004 playoffs. Bulger vs Delhomme. Panthers won to go to their first SB.I can’t watch the MMM though. Too much. Still.
Funny story. When we lost I took an old desktop telephone (bulletproof att phone) and slammed it against the ground in my basement bar. Blew it up a bit. Picked it up and threw it out my basement door into the backyard. A couple days later, brought my dog in off her run in the backyard, and attached to the lead was the tangled remnants of the phone. Found number buttons for the next few years in weird spots in my basement.
It was an illegal play.

Different schemes/systems fit different players for sure. Players around them. And of course, coaching staff.
