When Diggs got here it was because he forced his way out of Minny which I agreed with him on (that opnebrinir) and as excited as was and have been with Diggs (minus 2nd halves) I have been waiting for today. He is addition (legit for the Bills tenure) by subtraction (in Minny—regardless of Jefferson—and his presence and “non-presence” here are top notch subtractions in the addition by subtraction scheme).

I'm just saying relax, brother.
I see great things coming from this franchise this year.
I am really frustrated, as most here are, I’m sick of seeing our luck and then we hit the lottery finally getting a generational talent at QB (sorry Jeff Tuel) and we seem not to be able to give him what he could have won with the last few years.
Drink a Guinness for you with a shot of Jameson and let’s be back to Bills Brothers!

Boo hoo......like Beane is going to leave the team with no legit WR?!?
....need a tissue?
No, I’m a mature adult, 45 year fan, who uses metrics. I’m not a sycophant like you who relies on a generalized statement not even on point.
I use information and past performance to render my opinion. You clearly just drink some Beane WR Kool Aid (Jim Jones did too). I’m just a realist. Beane isn’t the second coming and look at his WR picks. Aside from the Diggs trade (which could have beenJefferson) and Shakir I remember the great Kelvin Bryant trade, Harry, Sherfield and those draft picks Zay Flowers gone ASAP, Ray-Ray McCloud (who is PR but not good WR), Hodgins (gone) and Proehl.
Yeah, I’m the one who’s wrong. And, grow up and act like a mature adult who can discuss matters.

Stop being sooooooooooo friggin dramatic, dude..........we've got Cooks and Kincaid and we're going to replace Diggs.
Need a tissue?
Cooks going to play RB and WR? Heard plenty of people on this website talking about how cooks has issues catching so that makes me feel confident and those of you who said that I hope you admit agreeing.
Kincaid had a very good rookie season but I would not put him anywhere in the top tier of tight ends. That will happen hopefully, in three years.

What a joke. The best receiver we’ve had in 20 years and away he goes. Pathetic. Looks like more of a step back this season than I thought.
Well, it’s a good thing that Josh has Curtis Samuel, who has never hit close to a top tier WR and aside from Shakir’s one year improvement the following is a the WR room: Mack Hollins, Justin Shorter, KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, Tyrell Shavers and Bryan Thompson. Diggs had those declines but what if we’d gotten him a quality X to play off, thought this was the year and Samuel isn’t that guy—Washington let him go with McLaurin. Kincaid was a good first step we’ll see what’s next.
Andy Reid made KC able to win with those WRs—McDermott? Liked Brady but a year OC isn’t going to make mediocre WRs into SB winners.
I was a really big Beane fan and still hold out hope I’m just freaking out, but watching the way he has left a generational quarterback with without at least a 2nd top quality (2nd or 3rd tier) WR and then a totally mediocre group of receivers is just baffling. Worse than what GB did to Rodgers without Davante.

Ironic that in the year of the top WRs we’ll see in the draft for years to come that the Bills who desperately need a top tier young WR won’t get one. Instead we’ll wind up with a WR it’ll take a couple of years to begin to develop.
Heard Greg Cossell breaking down the top 5 or 6 WRs and he essentially said only the top three are impact players the rest have warts that’ll take a couple of years to begin to develop.
Just sad, really sad how I felt pre-combine and mocks and how I feel now.Irony is a way of life for us and on countless times, and for me it’s over four decades. It’s ok to say it out loud so I can move one. No shame, or self pity, just pure utter sarcastic, hilarity, Bills’ style. But one of these days! 🏆

If medically cleared JK Dobbins and Ty Johnson are a $3.1 RB2/3 tandem.
Spotrac Dobbins mkt $2.1M and Ty is $1.29M is $3.4M. Ty is set with his $$ but we need more weapons for Allen and Dobbins on a one year cap friendly prove it deal playing on a high potency offense, high profile team would help him a long way.This is the year for Beane to take a high ceiling shot especially since we have no money for another non-draftee on offense. Risk/reward.
BTW: JK Dobbins is 5’10 215lbs. Pretty strong.

Injuries look at the numbers when he started, 15 starts as rookie in 2020, missed second due to ACL in 2021, and rebounded in 2022 to start 8 games before ACL:
2020:
134-805-6.0ypc-9TDs-2 Fs-0 lost2021 out all year ACL/MCL
2022 Started 8 games before Achilles92-520-5.72ypc-4TDs-4Fs-2 lost
2023 Out all year Achilles
Guy surely distinguished himself when healthy. And, recovered from two major injuries. Tre still working on it but older and many wanted to give him a chance.
Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who did the surgery on Dobbins' torn Achilles suffered during the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Texans, wrote a letter to NFL teams informing them that Dobbins is ready to go, per NFL Media, which noted that ElAttrache's letter also stated that the running back looks "outstanding" in his recovery.

Sorry in advance for running on a bit. But I just wanted not throw it out there to see if maybe a few people agree.
Dobbins’ ‘20 great 1st year 134 800yds 6ypc 9TDs but tore ACL in ‘21 camp, missed all of 2021 and the first two games of 2022 before returning for eight games (93/520/5.7/2TDs) but then another knee injury sidelined him six weeks. Tore Achilles first game last year (surgeon cleared him 13 hours ago and said he was outstanding puts rep on the line with NFL).
Spotrac has Dobbins $2.1M mkt value (probably prove it contract)—Ty is only signing for $1.29M. With Darrynton Evans a “futures contract”, is it possible for us to have an RB2/3 tandem with Dobbins’ (and his super high ceiling) for $3.4M.
With Dobbins to getting “outstanding” clearance yesterday from his surgeon what would you think about our medical team checking him out and then rolling the dice for a reasonable amount of money (perhaps less than Latavius last year).
We could have had a potentially healed super high ceiling in Dobbins and some good camp competition with Ty. And, if Cooks ever went down a healthy and healed Dobbins could be almost like not missing a beat and then adding in Ty would be very nice. Brady could have a lot of fun. 🥳

Chiefs got a 2025 3rd round pick, and the teams swapped 2024 7th round picks.
Titans robbed them.The Titans also had to give him a 4 year $76M contract with $55M guaranteed. He was the number two FA CB behind Jaylon Johnson (CHI). Sure KC had several legitimate potential trading partners.
But, as we learned, escaping at the right time from not being able to afford salary cap number increases is a tremendous factor in most trades nowadays (unless you’re Denver!!).

Bates move still has me worried. Guy is with us for five years, plays every OL position, FO clearly values and judges his talent highly as evidenced by matching the ‘22 CHI offer sheet and keeping him here for five years.
I’m all for developing young players like Alec Anderson and Van Denmark (and a ‘24 draft pick). But the difference between signing Clapp at up to $1.5M (or even a couple hundred grand less) as the back up depth at C, along with Anderson who literally has no game snaps at C, to McGovern who had 100 snaps at C (apparently at Penn St. 5-8 years ago and has none since four years in NFL), makes me feel a lot less safer than if we had scraped together $2M more to get Bates to his $4M for one more year on a SB contending team.
And, Bates has the same significant depth for the entire OL like we had last year but who everyon agreed we were extremely luckily that we didn’t need to tap into it. I think we’d all agree that on a SB contending team having one more year with quality and extremely versatile depth on an OL that lucked out with no injuries last year would be better off with Bates.
As for the fifth round pick, even giving Beane a higher success rating it’s still a coin toss.

Yep. I was certain our DL would eat against a decimated line and Easton Stick. No one did anything until the Oliver sack to end the game
That was the perfect trap game look back at that brutal part of the schedule and where we were mentally and also with all the travel. Not a game to judge us for except for getting the win, as ugly as it was compared to the relative talent of the two rosters. IMHO.

Well, I'd rather take my chances than pay Settle that. Gabe Hall is probably better.
And, we definitely one draft too—if things fall the way it appears we might go DL first (could be very good value there—BPA) and then trade up in the 2nd to get our future WR1 (a year to develop as Samuel takes some heat off of Diggs and then three years of production and cap-tastic fun courtesy of the rookie contract—gotta nail this pick 🤞). Thanks.

He was playing out of position he wasn’t a DT last year he was out of his element playing end. Plus the Chargers defense was a damn mess under StaleyThanks for the great inside scoop, gonzo. Could be a nice (smart) snag by Beane. He’s surely locked in (probably hasn’t finished his brackets yet!).

Know we’re not big fans of PFF on TBD but it’s just interesting to see their opinion--they gave Austin Johnson an overall rating of 45.7 which is very low compared with what I’ve seen with other players.
By comparison Daquan was an 86.0. Which is why we paid him $8M per. Calais Campbell at 37 yrs old got an 80.0. That’s why he got $7M last year and will likely be close again.
Not expecting a low cost FA DT to be rated very high but with Johnson getting such a low rating makes me nervous. Jerry Tillery got a 67.7 and $2.75M for one year. Settle a 57.1 and got $3M per for two. Just gives you some comparative analysis so we can be realistic with our expectations (whether or not we agree with PFF). FWIW.

Definite 1st ballot HOF and one of the most dominant players on defense I ever witnessed. Between White, Smith, LT, Lewis to name a few that I watched as well. It would be a good discussion for fans who was the most dominant defensive player they watched in their lifetime.
Peter Schrager asked Bill Parcells "If you had the chance to start your NFL team with any player you've ever seen, coached, coached against who would be that one player in NFL history you'd start your team with?"
Parcells response:
"There are priority positions in this game, quarterback is one of those, so I consider that," Parcells began. "But if you're pinning me down -- I'm a little prejudiced -- I think I'd take Lawrence Taylor."
Coach Billicheat:
"I would just say I wouldn't put anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor, period," said Belichick.
"Maybe I'm prejudiced, he continued. "but I saw that guy every day for over a decade and he tilted the field for a decade. Until somebody does that, and there's a lot of great players. I'm not taking anything away from anybody else. There's a lot of great players that have been in this league, that are in this league, but personally, I'm not putting anybody ahead of Lawrence Taylor. Not yet."

“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry”. Sadly, after watching the WRs go at the Combine this came right into my mind (Thomas appears to be the delineated drop off point and we ain’t sniffing his used Combine unitard … that said, the history of the league is littered with so many alleged instances of bad prognostication).

Just make sure you do it after he trades Sheppard for Hughes. 😉

2024 WR Draft Class

Got rid of a future HOF WR1 past his healthy so why not dump more money that we were not supposed to have for a future HOF edge rusher. A guy can deal. 😈
