I feel like the other shoe has dropped. This is the worst that this team has looked since 2018, and then we had hope with a rookie QB. I feel no hope now. Diggs did in fact make Josh Allen.
You can't on one hand say "the Bills need more talent on their roster" and then on the other hand say "injuries are a lame excuse." Injuries take talent off of the field. Sometimes a team reaches a breaking point where they go from competitive to non-competitive due to injuries. I think that our defense may have reached that point.
They restructured his deal. He's a FA after this season. He'll play one year in Houston and then go on to Dallas to play with his brother or to KC to chase a ring.
But the Jets and Steelers can absorb the full cap hit. That is probably more appealing to the Raiders and their cheap owner. There is not much that Beane could do in that case. He can't force the Raiders to make it work with us. Even a first (which is a massive overpay) may not be enough to get them to do the cap moves to make it work with us.
The losses bring out a group of posters that only come out of the woodwork after losses. They are, as my mother likes to say, luxuriating in their first blowout loss in almost three years.
