PetermansRedemption Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 It’s always telling when you get traded (potentially) from two teams in two years.

Expand Bobby Fisher, what a reference! (never thought I would see him mentioned on a football message board) He was a weird guy from what I have heard. I agree. Lets hope Diggs is everything we are hoping he will be and then some. Dam it has been a LONG time since we had a big time WR. Sammy never got there. Stevie J was good, but not quite a top 5-10 guy. Lee Evans was great on the go route, and not much else. I am thinking it has been since Eric Moulds in his prime from 1998 and 2002. That is a LONG TIME ago. 2

And I say that as Diggs's number 1 fan. I loved him long before he was a Bill. Expand No one is questioning OBJ's superlative talents. Without question wherever he has been he has been the most talented receiver on the team. Yet he keeps getting moved. Football is a team game where how you fit in goes beyond talent and to an extent actual production. Recognizing the fact that Diggs is less talented than OBJ I would still prefer Diggs on the roster than OBJ. You don't have to be an angel to be a wanted member on a team. On the other hand you have to have a level of maturity and stability to contribute to a culture of unselfishness that leads to team success. 1

Go Bills!!!
Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 OBJ is not a Cleveland type guy, nor a Minnesota type guy as well. 1

Paup (by the way love the name as was awesome), I don’t know if you remember the Phins game in December, can’t remember the year, maybe 2001 or 2, and was snowing of course. It went from a steady snow to a blizzard in the second half. It must have been a 4:30pm game. The weed fiend from NO ran for over 220 yards that game, and we still won. Moulds in the second half had a deep one handed catch for a TD. It was amazing.

Diggs was fined $200,000 for missed meetings and causing problems last year. It's funny how people convince themselves their guy is a better guy just because, despite evidence that says otherwise.

Everything clicked for the Bills in that second half. Moulds and Price were a crazy good WR combo 1
DJB Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I saw a tweet earlier that said they spoke to Shefter and Shefter said Odell isnt getting traded

Moulds in the second half had a deep one handed catch for a TD. It was amazing. Expand Glad you like my user name. Paup had two amazing years in 95 and 96 before injuring his groin pretty badly if I recall. He and Bruce were a deadly combo on the pass rush. (I have his 95 jersey and still wear it on occasion) I do remember when Ricky Williams ran wild against us for over 220 yards. But I think we did win that game. I believe that may have been Bledsoe's first year. I went to the Bills-Dolphins playoff game in Miami after the 98 season. (Flutie got sacked by Trace Armstrong to end the game inside their 10 yard line) I believe Moulds had 240 receiving yards that day. At the time it was an NFL playoff record. Not sure if it still stands. He caught a bomb down the sideline on our first drive. Exciting game. Disappointing ending. I remember talking with Chris Mortinson at the Ft Lauderdale airport after the game. Oh the memories!!

Their play calling in the red zone against the Bills was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. They would go jumbo and take their best offensive players off the field. It was so idiotic.

njbuff Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 People who wanna say that OBJ is the better player than Diggs..................... the number the last two years suggest otherwise and when it comes to "What have you done for me lately".................. Diggs gets the slight edge numbers wise. And in terms of talent on the field, Diggs doesn't take a backseat to anyone. That is why the Bills paid a heavy price for him.
MJS Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) It will be nice to have him out of the conference. And once again the Browns look like complete fools, if true. Trade for an all-pro receiver and then trade him away after one year.

Expand OBJ will never put up numbers like that again unless some OC replicates what they did for the Giants. That offense moved him all over the field and got him tons of targets in a variety of ways. Everything went through him. Edited April 16, 2020 by MJS

The Vikings had the best 1-2 punch at receiver in the league and wanted to play 1970s football behind Delvin Cook. Diggs is firey and he is a competitor. As long as the Bills get him the ball he will be fine. Expand Nailed it
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) On 4/15/2020 at 4:04 PM, GunnerBill said: If this happens could all the people who thought Adam Thielen would be fine without another top flight receiver opposite him because he was "the better guy anyway" please stand up? I am telling you... he needs someone else to draw the double coverage off him consistently or else his numbers will fall in 2020. As much as I love Diggs OBJ is an upgrade.... even he genuinely is a problem child in the locker room. Expand I think any WR not named Calvin Johnson would need at least a solid threat opposite him. If you are a top 10 WR and are constantly doubled your numbers are going to take a dive. Thielen is a very good WR that has huge games when not doubled. With the Vikings it was a pick your poison type deal with Thielen and Diggs. One would get hot, then they would get more coverage, then the other would get hot. Edited April 16, 2020 by Call_Of_Ktulu
