Don't need wishful thinking, they have the best QB in the division. And yes that includes some 40 year old who looked like a shell of himself last year. Talk about desperate to hitch your wagon to a QB who doesn't win in the playoffs and is about to get a lesson from Father Time. Then we have a team with a QB that hasn't played a full season since his senior year in High School and is in danger of being out of the NFL with one more concussion which likely will come within the first 5 games next year. Finally, we have little Maccy. Exactly who am I supposed to be afraid of?

Leave it to the resident Dolphin fan to come up with some nonsense as usual. I'd say the Bills improved quite a bit from last year. At the end of the year, the Bills will win the division by at least 2 games. Book it. That's the best part...it doesn't matter what all the talking heads or the fans say, it's what happens on the field that counts.

Usually it ends before the first preseason game I think...did it used to continue past that before?

Meanwhile Dak is rolling around on the ground grabbing his ankle after a normal tackle.

Wheat anything is never an option for me, unless it's Einkorn/Virgin wheat, the kind that has been grown for 12,000 years...the type of wheat used now is the cause of chronic low grade inflammation in the vast majority of the population and pretty much everyone will be better off once they ditch the wheat in their diet.

Looks like all except one is open to the public... https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-announce-2023-training-camp-dates-times-st-john-fisher

This is awesome...the Bills and McD LOVE playing the underdog/get no respect role and this gives them all they need to play it...

I don't think that's it. He has regularly said he thinks Allen is the most talented QB he has ever played with and the sky is the limit for him, even after he left and before he came back last year. He never said Allen is a bad leader, he simply said Dak is the best leader...I am just interested in trying to find out the areas he thinks Allen needs to get better in to be considered in that category.

Which begs the question...what does he think Allen needs to do to reach that level or where is Allen lacking in comparison? I don't think this is a dig at Allen at all, Beasley has said many times he thinks Allen can be the best QB in the league and has immense talent and ability. I'm super curious as to what he thinks Allen needs to get better at in this department because all you have heard is how amazing Allen is as a leader since pretty much day 1...

"Whaaaaattttt?!?! You went over to Auntie's for some barbeque and didn't bring me a plate??"

The first one on 3rd down was simply a bad ball by Allen that wasn't catchable. He was open. Targets mean nothing if the ball thrown isn't catchable

I don't think he is out of line. In the playoffs losses the Bills have not made a concerted enough effort to get him involved, IMO. If you are going down, go down with your best players not getting it done...don't go down cause you decided to get cute on too many 3rd downs and not try and get the ball to Diggs, coverage be damned at times. Sometimes you just have to say, "My guy is better than yours and I don't care if he is covered or not, I am still throwing it to him and I trust him to make the play." Especially in the big situations.

That was mostly a made up media construct.

Doesn't say what the reason was but here we go again...

But that doesn't mean what he is upset about isn't legitimately something he should be upset about either.

All we can do is speculate since we don't really have information on what is actually happening and the conversations between the two players. Perhaps Allen said something about not studying film one night to do stuff with his girl, etc... Who knows? But clearly something is irking Diggs and it makes more sense that it's something regarding Allen not being as prepared as he should be at all times and relying on his ability too much rather than his film studying, etc... Perhaps Diggs feels that's why he has so many sloppy turnovers last year and dumb plays.

Parcels said as much about Lawrence Taylor.

There is a difference between having fiery juice on gameday and preparing as much as possible leading up to the game and watching film, etc...

Bringing me back to my childhood and having to listen to my Dad lecture me about the starving people in Africa who would love to eat what I am about to throw in the trash...

I have the right to go out and protest on the street corner and scream and yell stuff too. If someone decided to come out and kill me because they didn't like what I was saying, I still had the right to do it, there were just consequences I had to pay for it tho.

Diggs wants to win badly, but the way he channels this isn't always productive. The focus should be on getting him to channel that in a more productive way, not telling him he should care less...he wants to be great, and wants to win...I would much rather have that problem than players who are more interested in playing with remote controlled cars in the locker room.

They don't. They are free to report that if they want, but the Bills also have the right to remove their press credentials as well. Just because you have the "right" to do something doesn't mean there will be no consequences professionally if you do.

But it's also knowing WHEN you need to lock in and have that laser focus and when you can let loose a little bit... perhaps Diggs thinks Allen is not focused enough when he needs to be?

With Allen and Diggs being as close as they were/are, it would almost feel like a betrayal if Allen were to tell him he wants to win but won't focus like that and wants to do other stuff too. Like Diggs felt they were the same spirit competitively but then realized they actually aren't.
