I actually think it may take pressure off Allen.
-In the talk piece I linked with Shady et al, one of the hosts (Acho?) made a big point of the pressure it puts on a QB when you have a top receiver demanding the ball, that it can influence the play calling and the QB's decision making. Shady disagreed. But it's a point: Josh has said he's a bit of a "people pleaser". Are some of the times when Josh was forcing the ball to Stef or to Gabe with poor results, influenced by his desire to "get them their bag"? Did it influence play selection? Was Diggs "don't listen to him" (referring to Dorsey) because Josh was trying to follow progressions and not look to Diggs first?
-Josh has said he doesn't like to "be an #######" and "call people out" about performance. IF it's true that Diggs was "going off" on Josh not only on the sidelines but in the locker room and sometimes practice to the point where it was detrimental to the team, does it take confliction away from Josh if he doesn't have that in his face and need to make that decision? Or was that "in his face" actually helping Josh? Maybe it helped initially in 2020 and 2021, but now it's a weight on him?
-It's been notable to me when Josh has talked about new receivers coming in, he's repeatedly mentioned "works hard, doesn't complain". Now Diggs has always been noted for working hard. But maybe there's been a lot of complaining, and that's been Josh's indirect way of calling that out (and not getting through)
I'm on my phone, so I hope I left the part I wanted lol...
10000% on board with this and I think that is what Beane was dancing around with yesterday in talking about Diggs being a fierce competitor and that whole comment....

I won't mind a big move, bit draft wise I’m not sold that anyone other than Harrison is worth more of a move up than it takes for Thomas. I may need to watch some more Malki Nabers and Rome Odenzu highlights.
If the vikings win about 6 games again next season and we end up in the same spot, the 2 seconds could get you to around 21 or 23...
Trading for a wr and having to pay them, just loads the cap right back and aside from JJ, I'm not sure we go that route. A cost controlled 5 year contract and now relying on Allen to elevate the WR should be the expectation.
It's not like needing to get a young allen a reliable vet type wr when we traded for Stef.
We all know beane is aggressive, he values traits and is always willing to swing a trade up. I just feel that with missing out on Mcduffie and even WRS last year, he is not going to sit and be overly patient. He is going to go get his guy. Best way to shut the media and everyone up is to fill this huge whole in a big way. That cap money next offseason will go towards the D is my guess as of now....

this is where I am at. modest move for Thomas, or Mitchell and some combo of Franklin, Legette, or Polk.
Beane is not going to do anything modest...this is a precursor to a bigger move
2 seconds next year for us will offset the loss of next years #1
To get a Rookie WR under a cost controlled 5 years over Josh's Prime = a big move and not a half-arsed modest one

Seems fairly obvious that QB's will make up 4 of the first 5 picks. Minnesota with their ammo of 2 Round 1 Picks this year above ours and their need at QB is going to trade into 4 or 5 for the last of the 4 Top QB's with a high 1st Round Grade.
Pick 6 tends to have either MHJ or Nabers available in most mocks. I definitely like Odunze. But if we were to trade to 6 with the board going as most expect it to, Odunze would not be my pick there.
Every year the QBs are going to to be the top 1-4 picks and it never happens. OTs and the 2 "elite" WRs will go and I would wager 2 of the QBs will not go in the top 6...
If Nabers or Harrison is there I will be surprised...It's possible, but I am fine with any of those 3
-
This is easy - Julio Jones it for Odunze with NYG at 6

Perhaps Maddy Gladd was right on the hot mic, the declining production last year, being invisible in the playoffs, flipping out during the Cin loss, the tweets, wrong side of 30, an enormous cap hit coupled with McD being very concerned and scraping the toothpaste back into the tube after minicamp = it was time to move on in a heavy WR draft class and get the value while you can
These comments from BBB stand out...
“but Stef’s a very competitive guy and I wouldn’t want to change that for him. I don’t think that was something — when we acquired him, I think we were very aware of his competitive nature. …
“You don’t want to get into every reason you make every move,” Beane said. “It’s not one thing with any player. We’ve traded other players here, we’ve acquired other players, him being one. Everything you do, you think is the best decision. You weigh the pros and the cons of every decision like this. We don’t take it lightly. But you always make it in the best decision of the Bills. And that’s what we’re trying to do here.

Damn. That sucks. Just bought some tickets in a worse seating location. 🤦♂️
I got lucky on these ones and then my sister who I usually go with (wife doesn't go to games and has a bad back) is "worried" about the weather (she doesn't even drive - I do). So I am getting this out there to see if anyone needs them...
I have asked a couple friends if they want to go, but they haven't gotten a thumbs up from their wives yet...
I will eat the $700 for the tix before I sell them to Steelers fans.

Selling my tickets, I have 2 Section 133 Row 30 Seats 17 & 18...these were bought from the bills, so no markups. Face value would be nice, but I can/will sell a bit cheaper

Davis is fools gold to me. Looks the part, makes Josh think he can hit him for big plays, then drops, runs the wrong route, or the Db beats him to the ball.
I’m over him
had 1 game (13 seconds) and turned out to be a JAG

Because he's 71-44 (second best in Bills history), has won us 3 straight division titles after 17 years of nothing, has fourth stringers forcing big defensive stops, and dragged this team back from watching their teammate die on the field.
Half the league would love to have him.
Half the league would love to have him, the teams ranked #15-#31 would be in much better shape. Now do the top 5 teams in the league. What does he bring to the table to help out coach the other team to win the game? When was the last time he out-coached another HC to win a game?
I'm stealing this from twitter because it is true...
But yet, we have to play complementary football - we can't when the Defense is again injured. There certainly seems to be the we can't go uptempo and put our injured and old defense back on the field - it is the offense that has to try new things...
Fine you are up 21 points on the Raiders and want to F around to burn the clock and get some plays in, fine - when you are competing against the team that trounced you in the playoffs this year and a loss decreases your odds for the playoffs by ~30%. Should be **** canned right there....
But yet last night he wasn't sure why we got away from the uptempo offense? People don't take a crap at OBD without McD knowing about it, he has things locked down that much.
Also, as shown earlier in this thread and from the week of the Pats game, he is involved in the offense, by both his and Doresy's comments. The players certainly don't seem happy. You would wonder if Josh, Diggs, Morse, Miller, Dawkins etc. are even challenging them saying show us why we need to change the offense ,we can get the others on board, but yet all you hear is simplification and uptempo from the offensive players and then you have an HC who says, well I don't know why we got away from it and in less than 24 hours says we cant to get to other offensive styles?
That's the leader you want to keep?

Josh McDaniels of course

I don’t trust Terry making decisions either. Look at what he has done to the Sabres. He cannot pick executives to save his life. But this is starting to seem inevitable - this regime is backsliding and McD seems to be out of answers for it.I mean if the HC reported to the GM instead of the owner....

You think you're funny or something?
Sorry I'm not just a standard knee-jerk Bills fan that wants a little nuance.
So tell me - why does he need to stay? Give us all a compelling from 13 seconds to now, why he should stay...

Im not even joking when I would take back Daboll as HC in a heartbeat.
And honestly McDermott might be great for the rebuilding Giants.
Daboll has a connection with Allen, and at this point, that’s all I care about … because Dorsey seems to have our star QB’s head in a tourniquet .. and the HC/QB relationship is very evident in KC, MIA and CIN.
It's not just Dorsey with Allen twisted up. It really feels like McD is twisting it up as well

It will be going from Lindy Ruff to Ron Rolston et al. I will bet you anything.
Listen Sean, I think you are a good guy and thank you for turning this team around. I have seen no growth in this team since 13 seconds and our offense is regressing. Very concerned with Diggs, complementary football, etc. you have zero answers...

Do you really want Terry Pegula making another coaching hire?
What are the odds that he is capable of hiring somebody that is an actual upgrade over McDermott?
Not a McD fan and think he is at his ceiling, but this is a great point and very worrisome

Beane's First-Round Deals
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Jefferson's age is what's key(and the fact he is a proven 1 and likely the best wr in the game) that is what makes him the only vet WR I would trade for and be willing to eat the contract he will get.
This is such a glaring hole, beane is certainly swinging big here in the draft, if JJ can't be had.
