Very interesting, I’m all for making a change if there’s a clear upgrade available, but I’m not for making the change for the sake of change unless this goes dramatically south. I’m more of the mindset that if you continue to have a top 5 scoring offense and an elite QB year after year that at some point things will break your way and you’ll get that title. I’m in no way interested in watching Allen’s career being ######ed due to inept coaching, at some point the change needs to happen if they can’t get there.

Also true

In fairness, 30 other teams have failed to accomplish that over the same time period

this is crazy

I know a Bills fan at work who says “ where was their impressive win last year ?” I said “how about at KC ?” he says “other than that one” I find it strange that I’m defending a 3x straight division winning Bills team coming off a 13 win season to another Bills fan.

Ahhh ok, makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

Wasn’t it widely reported the Elbow injury limited his short and mid range accuracy ? He was limited with arm angle variation. Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly.

I guess this goes to show being great at any one single characteristic doesn’t mean jack when others like arm strength, size and athleticism are average.

Much is lost in text, especially when it’s me delivering lol… it wasn’t meant as a dig or insult.

Toe tagged !!!!

Yeah I’m unsure how the restructuring works, I just took the posters word for it that it was language already in the contract allowing for restructuring without prior notice or consent. I’m not sure why it’s not plausible Diggs was told one thing about where his restructured cap space was going and then seen them sign Floyd instead. It doesn’t even need to be about Dhop necessarily, they coulda just said we’re bringing in help the offensive side of the ball. But do I know, just taking guesses like everyone else.

I’m speaking of Diggs displeasure of the constant doubles and bracketed coverages. Of course the Bills can restructure without Diggs consent, that doesn’t mean he didn’t ask what they’re doing with the cap room and was told they’re looking to get him the help he wants and needs. Nobody knows anything other than those in the building and more precisely Diggs.

Yes, I suppose I’m giving too much credit to the average viewer. I totally agree with the downfall of journalism but that being said, this spaghetti at the wall guess at Diggs issues are just as plausible as the other non informed takes.

I think everyone is aware that all these reports are pure speculation until we hear directly from Diggs if that even happens at all.

Not saying it’s true, but why is it bad journalism? Just speculation like every other outlet, this is just a different angle and to be fair it seems much more logical than Diggs wants the ball more. It definitely could be that along with his frustration of constantly being doubled and bracketed that he’s been expecting an upgrade opposite him to loosen coverage. I hope this guess at the issue has some merit.

They scored 10 points in a home playoff game and looked nothing like a contender, when you don’t follow any particular team closely like the fans do and you’ve maybe seen a handful of prime time games and that loss is your last impression then you see all the rats jumping ship. I would have been surprised had they not got off the Bills nut sack given their view of the team prior to the KC divisional loss. They need to win a title and even after that, there’ll be a segment of people who say do it again and then we’ll crown you. Life of the Mafia.

Simply play their very best in January and February and hope to also get some luck, this is one of the beat teams in the NFL as constructed.

Agree, most importantly the oline wasn’t getting run over on every snap.

I think this is exactly right, Allen just needs to continue to be himself and definitely not try to be something he’s not. Being vocal and rah rah is great if that’s who you truly are but imposters will be disrespected, ridiculed and mocked by their peers.

Couldn’t leave any options for the rest of us pfft

A significant factor in why TEs usually take a year or two to pop is the difficulty in learning how to pass/run block at the NFL level. Hard enough to learn how to beat NFL defenses as a rookie TE in the passing game as it is. If the Bills take much of that off his plate by essentially utilizing him as a slot receiver and combining that with being dropped into an elite passing offense with Josh Allen as his QB… then you can be a little more enthusiastic about Kincaid’s chances of bucking the trend year one.

I agree, it’s really been the last 2 years they’ve not met expectations. Allen is too good to not be playing in Super Bowls and for that reason McBean are on the hot seat. No title for Allen is an organizational disaster on par with Marino’s legacy, one championship is an organizational failure on par with Favre and Rodgers in GB. To declare Allen’s career a organizational success story they need to win at least 2 titles, Allen is that good IMHO.

Yeah wasn’t that a knock some people used on Barry Sanders… yeah he’s amazing but without those 2-3 runs a game he woulda went 15 carries for 28 yards. Maybe with Barry you were almost guaranteed to get those couple runs every game and that’s what makes him different but still kinda the same situation.

A lock.. yes

A lock ? Wtf is going on
