I think there was a general consensus that Buffalo's offense needed to evolve. It had to become more than just the Allen to Diggs show. I can only speculate, but it feels like the coaches wanted to get reps to other skill position players and Diggs wasn't on board with having a lesser role in the offense. I'm not sure that this means he was acting like a diva as some suggest, but I do think it is something that caused some friction. To me it just seems like a decision was made to move in a different direction. The offense all ready began doing that last year and we saw the number of reps for Diggs drop off significantly toward the end of the season.
I think Diggs is still a very good WR and will do well in Houston. If he stayed here, his production would have stagnated. Defenses were clearly doing everything they could to slow Diggs down and Buffalo's offense was forced to find other playmakers. Fortunately, guys like Shakir, Cook and Kincaid stepped up. The offense all ready began to evolve. I can't really go so far as to say that Diggs was too much of a drama queen. He is a great WR and every great wants the ball. The organization simply needed to move in a different direction.
To me, it looked like Brady was very focused on spreading the ball around when he took over. I think his approach is the right one. I'm excited to see what new wrinkles are added to make the offense even more explosive. It seems to me that the overall philosophy pointed toward having to move on from Diggs.
The offense started to evolve the minute Dorsey was fired and Brady took over the OC role. The game plans were more complete and far less reliant on Allen and Diggs being heroes, resulting in a much more balanced offense and significantly better production by the team as a whole (not to mention taking pressure off of the defense by effectively running the ball). Diggs didn't like his reduced production, but the only stats that matter at the end of the day are wins and losses.
Dorsey as OC - 10 games:
Winning %: .500 (5-5)
Points per game: 28.6 (skewed by weeks 2-4 blowouts against MIA, LV, WAS. 23.3ppg in the other 7)
Diggs receptions/game: 7.3
Diggs yards/game: 86.8
Diggs TD/Game: 0.5
Brady as OC - 9 games (including playoffs):
Winning %: 0.778 (7-2)
Points per game: 27.4
Diggs receptions/game: 4.9
Diggs yards/game: 43.1
Diggs TD/Game: 0.1

I would like to start discussing things we should do this September for the 25th Anniversary Tailgate... Current ideas:
- Shirts with a 25th logo
- Looking at a Dinner Cruise
- Golf tournament
- Bottle of Blanton awarded to best tailgate sandwich (inside joke)
- etc...
Looking for a discussion on activities, venues, etc....
Please take off-topic conversations elsewhere. Much appreciated.
Hard to believe I've been around these parts that long, even though my account was lost in the great board crash of 2008(?) and had to be recreated.
I would definitely like a 25th anniversary TBDAHOT t-shirt to go with the one I got for the 20th. Cocktail cruise sounds pretty solid and golf sounds excellent. I'm up for all of it.

I suck at it, but I still do it. It's a good time.

I know Josh played great, but Diggs was even better. I also loved what Gilliam did. Too bad the throw wasn't a bit lower! I also have to give Dawkins for the best block when he steamrolled a defender on Cook's big run.
If this is referring to the deep pass down the sideline, I think if Gilliam had kept running instead of turning around for the ball, it would have dropped right over his shoulder, into his breadbasket, in stride.

Some of it was caused by me, but I caught a failing hard disk in my errors. I'll call that a grinning win.
Restoring all the data led to a couple database tables being corrupted. That has been fixed (I think). I have a few questions in, but I think we are ok. Every table checks out now.
Thank you for your patience.
Shades of the great board crash of 2008 that wiped out my original account. Pretty sure Gibran Hamdan was responsible for that one, maybe he's behind your failing hard drive.

My F5 key decided it was done about a quarter of the way into the Mario Williams thread.
Ground up and in the freezer.

Long time lurker here and 36 year Bills fanatic. I'm definitely going, where is your tailgate at? My buddy and I would love to swing by
It's in a section of Hammer's lot (across Abbott Rd from the stadium, adjacent to the RV lot). It's at the front corner of the lot.

if you think you can make it to the game, please think about joining our tailgate. We’re closing in on our 100
year anniversary.
If you think you’re going to attend, let us know!
I'll be making the drive out from Boston to be there. Looking forward to seeing you and everybody else.

So no Jets or Giants? Are they considered NJ athletes or they just don't have anyone good enough to make the list?
Yes and yes.

I came to TSW today hoping the find Mario thread 2.0.
Only 310 replies? ~200 before the first "F5" and not a single "ground up and in the freezer?"
Times sure have changed here at TBD.
For those of you who weren't around here back in 2012, you really should check out the Mario Williams thread. It's legendary around here.

If he's willing to give a hometown discount and take backup TE money to chase a ring with his childhood team, I'd let him be a backup TE. When he's healthy it would make for a hell of a two TE set.

I said to everyone at my place to kick it to like the 10 yard line and have them run 6-7 seconds off the clock.
Some thought squib, but then you can just fall on it.
Did anyone think kick it out of the end zone for a touchback????
Kick it out of the end zone is exactly what I thought. Perhaps it's because I still bear the scars of the Music City Illegal Forward Pass, but I wanted nothing to do with a returnable kick in that situation.
