Somebody earlier mentioned Erik Flowers. He may not have been as much of a reach but Wade Phillips loved him and took him late in the first for some reason.

Marshawn, is that you?

Excuse me? Did you not notice all the guys under contract let go and the free agents that signed elsewhere? There are only 28 players left from last season. There are a lot of holes to fill.

So, Mr Pegula, why was Lindy bad enough to fire in 2013 but good enough to bring back in 2024? So, the hiring of the coaches responsible for this long playoff drought were mistakes, as was firing Ruff?

Yeah, and against the Bills. The Bills lost to Darnold also.

I don’t have the same confidence in front offices and scouting staffs as most. How could somebody talk to Jamarcus Russell and not realize he was an idiot who was happy just getting his first contract and then was “I’m good”

Buttheads! Man, had I not grown up as a Bills fan, I think I’d stop being an NFL fan. Their greediness and attitudes are getting to be too much.

I saw an article recently about Worthy that claimed the chances are slim that he turns out like John Ross. He supposedly is a very good route runner with a lot of experience running various routes. Plus, you can’t coach speed. The main drawback of him seems to be his small, skinny frame. The best way to combat press coverage is to play a WR in the slot and/or have him on the move. We seem to already have a number of guys to play the slot in Samuel, Shakir and Isabella. They need a big guy.

They should sell shares (like Green Bay) for like $100. The us Bills fans just need to buy 9.25M shares. Easy peasey. 💸 💵 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

Hopefully he can trade a few of those picks to get a 3rd round pick.

That is pretty funny with the name of the broker. I wonder if Diggs is part of the Company?

It used to auto renew with Directv.

It was 7 years ago, but the Bills had the 10th pick in the 2017 draft and KC the 27th. To swap picks, it cost KC their 2018 first round pick and a 3rd.

I thought that with the original post

No, OJ attained success with same team. It was unfortunate that the brilliant John Rauch decided he would make him a pass receiving RB. OJ should say thank you to Lou Saban when he sees him up in…oh, wait a minute…

You and 500K others that claim to.

Yes, unless someone puts Beane in a straight jacket so he can’t get to his phone, he gets antsy waiting for picks and will even move up just a couple spots to get the guy he wants.

I agree with you on the not trading up twice. Sure, they did it in 2018 to get Josh and Edmunds but they’re already without a 3rd. I also don’t see our defensive-minded head coach going for WRs with the 1st 2 picks without having that 3rd. IMO Curtis Samuel will overall be a better WR for this team. His versatility will allow them to do more things with him. Whether they move up for a B. Thomas or just stay put and get an A. Mitchell, they can wait until the 4th or beyond to grab a 2nd rookie. They can also still pick up a decent veteran free agent like DJ Chark to fill out the WR room.

If Al Davis was still alive, the Raiders would take Worthy at pick 13.

Replace one prima donna with another?

We don’t know how good Joe Brady may turn out to be, but obviously coaching definitely matters. Andy Reid got rid of T. Hill and was left with Kelce, has beens (MVS) and rookies. The KC offense had its struggles and the team relied more on the defense but when the playoffs came they could rely on Rice and the others to make enough plays to win it all again. Reid had them ready to play. As the OP stated, this team is mainly Josh Allen. He’s the only one teams have to game plan for. So, when you don’t have the marquee players, it comes down to coaching and scheming. Look at the Niners. They do have the weapons in Kittle, Aiyuk , McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, but Shanahan also figured out that you could have receivers running around all over behind the line of scrimmage so he used that to advantage. By season’s end, a couple of teams copied that approach but I don’t recall seeing the Bills try it once. Good coaching comes up with ideas that the opposition isn’t prepared for. Then, when the opponents adjust, you try something else. This can make your team very successful, even with just very good players.

Just saw a mock on NFL.com by MJD where he has KC getting Worthy, who he refers to as Tyreke Hill 2.0. Ugh!

If they were going to do this trade of a vet, it should’ve been done before the start of the league year. You had , Poyer and Morse as assets to deal rather than just letting them go. Likely they tried but had little interest. After some thought, I also better understand trading Diggs now if they were going to deal him. With the WRs considered so highly for this draft, chances are most teams would’ve rather waited to see how the draft turned out and be less likely interested in dealing draft assets for Diggs and taking on his contract. Having found an interested team, and having to deal late round picks along with Diggs, Beane may have had to bend over backwards to get the Texans to accept a deal. There also may have not been any other serious teams. Interesting also that the WR needy Giants, with ex-Bills at GM and head coach didn’t trade for Diggs.

I believe Larry Fitzgerald could be a 1st ballot HOFer.

I did not like him but I’d put a few others ahead of him. John Rauch for not planning the offense around the Heisman Trophy winning RB OJ. Hank Bullough had a horrible record (4-17) and was in over his head. He also frequently had halftime leads followed by the team doing nothing in the 2nd half. Harvey Johnson had a horrible record (2-23) but he was always the interim coach after the head coach was fired.
