    I’m not a fan of the guy but…. 
     

    For a 4th?


    Yep, I saw the trade on another site and also thought “we could’ve had him for a 4th?”.   Then I saw we signed Curtis Samuel and calmed down.   I don’t believe the Bills would’ve been able to take on Allen’s salary.

     

    Samuel is similar in play style to the guy he shares a surname with, Deebo, with respect to speed and running from the backfield.  Obviously a level or two below.

     

    And the Carolina connection continues.  🙄

    At WR the Bills should try to get a proven veteran plus a couple of draft picks for the long term.

     

    Picking at the end of round 1 in a position of desperation for immediate production at one of the most important positions on the field is asking for another season with no championship. 


    I saw an article that suggested signing DJ Chark, who I think would fill the proven veteran.

    Diggs - will he resurface as the Bills go to WR in 2024?

    For the he lost a step crowd, typically when a player slows down athletically it’s gradual. Diggs’ decline was immediate (and by decline I mean a full season projection of the second half of his season was still 80+ catches for 800+ yards).

     

    I feel this was more:

     

    Offensive changes in-season: His production dipped as soon as Brady took over, so there may have been a change in philosophy.

     

    Defensive adjustments: Davis, Knox, Sherfield, and Hardy scared no one in 2023, so could have the focus really settled on Diggs? The high volume of targets for Shakir may support this. 
     

    Injury: He was never on the report, but to assume he had some kind of injury isn’t a stretch. Big Groot was rarely on the report and it was wildly believed and talked about how he had a significant foot injury. 
     

    I think it’s in Diggs best interest if we started to spotlight him less, we need to stop having him be a 160 target WR if we want any kind of production from him in the very near future. 


    I believe his usage and the coverage on him in the 2nd half led to frustration and bad attitude.  Note how often he was taking himself out.  With more emphasis on the running game, he’s not a willing blocker.  Remember that Gabe got a game ball with no receptions because of his blocking.

     

    Having witnessed Lou Saban’s commitment to running OJ Simpson, a lot of the success was due to Bob Chandler and JD Hill willing to provide downfield blocking.  I don’t see that commitment by Diggs.

    Bills Re-Sign Quinten Morris

    TE room is now locked in. He's a pretty good #3 TE. Versatile. Will update with contract when available.


    Another way to look at this is that Kincaid is a TE in name only.  Morris is somewhat the #2.  From the team’s standpoint, Kincaid is the slot receiver.  Gabe leaves and Shakir is a starting outside WR.  That being said, I didn’t like how Kincaid was being us3d at the start of the season.  Many of his receptions were at the sideline, short of the first down marker.  I don’t think you want to do that with a large guy like Kincaid.  You should run those patterns with a quick, elusive guy that has a better chance of maneuvering for the 1st down.

     

    As most on this board, I would like the team to get a WR in the first round.  However, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t.  It could be because of the WRs available vs what’s available at other positions of need.   It could also be that they don’t see the WR position being as much of a need as some of us do.  If they are going to emphasize the running game, they won’t likely pass as much, thus reducing the need for a top WR in this draft.

    And while we’re at it — a reminder that In the U.S.A, it's offense and defense, not offence and defence! Unless you live in Canada or Europe, in which case, cary on with your weird spellings. 


    I favour your point.

    Painful.  Our Oline was finally good again.  Big hole to fill now


    I don’t know.  Some of you guys frequent sites like All22 that can provide more details but I just remember Morse frequently getting pushed by a rushing DT right into Josh.

     

    It was time to put a younger hopefully better guy in there.

    The right move by the Buffalo

    Bills Jordan Poyer is on the downside of his NFL career in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 


    Bill Walsh used to say “It’s better to let go of a player one year too early than one year too late.”

    Truly the end of an era on the backend of the defense. Thinking this means Rapp is back soon. 


    Perhaps Beane and McD will will dig up a couple of diamonds in the rough as replacements, as they did in 2017.    It has been said that safety is one of the most important positions in this defense.

    Chiefs-Bills trade that landed Kansas City Patrick Mahomes

    What about the teams that drafted 1-9? 

     

    BTW, nice memory wrt @jeffismagic I seem to recall a few other people lobbying for Mahomes and the debate swirling around the Air Raid offense and whether it would translate to the NFL. We'll always be linked to Mahomes due to the trade out of 10 - but that's hindsight. If his greatness was so obvious he never would have made it to 10 - let alone past Mitch Trubisky. 


    Most of the comments in this thread are hindsight BS.  In the 2018 draft, many here, including me, thought they picked the wrong Josh QB.  Look how that turned out.

     

    The draft is also hit and miss.  For every Josh Rosen, there’s a Matt Milano.

    Original article had more info.

    Canadian coaches are also paid a lot less in Canada just like players.  

     

     

    This was for first female coach in CFL which there were a number of articles on Dana Beattie, the Toronto Argonauts Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach, who joined the organization in 2018 according my article database.  There were similar articles on first NFL coach and first NFL referee.  Most of the articles previously indexed have been locked down or removed although I do not know reason.  If I have time I will check wayback.
