Maybe a little faster than lil dirty. Probably could get at a better price.

QB Bills Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 9 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: My thoughts were that the better team won. They aren't better by a lot..........but just enough to make the Bills the second best team in the NFL. Most of us watched the Chiefs do this exact same type of thing to the Chargers in LA a month or so ago..........eventually chasing all those jack rabbits around tires out any defense and when an NFL defense is that tired they can't stop ANYTHING. 13 seconds and 3 TO's was like having a minute left. Maybe you squib there but that's the same ST unit that just gave up a long return to Hill. They just needed KC to make one mistake at the end and they did not oblige. We talked about this last offseason..........the Bills needed to add more speed on offense and notably improve the finishing ability of the pass rush..........they didn't actually accomplish either. Instead they improved against the Chiefs this season because Allen got MUCH better over the course of this season and the OL gelled. Better team? Possibly. But you didn't need a mistake from them at the end of the game. There were 13 seconds left. Drop all 11 into coverage to blanket their 5 receiving options. It would have been next to impossible to get into field goal range at that point. The coaches weren't prepared. Blew the game and potentially a super bowl championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I really hope they asked Josh opinion on this. Not that they have to listen, but make him feel a part of decision making Edited January 24, 2022 by Solomon Grundy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieEm Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) 48 minutes ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Idk if 178 receiving yards is worth 4 million a year when we are so limited in cap space. I think he's saying we may lose him because as use another team that needs a returner/wr may offer him a larger role on their team. Alot more young quarterbacks that need some experienced wrs to help them develop -- while he might be welcomed to sign in Buffalo at a rate lower than he's offered elsewhere it becomes a question of what's in his best interest based of what he values most. For all we know Mckenzie may decide he prefers his restaurant in Miami and decides he's gonna walk away from the game. Or he may decide he wants to play longer and sees what other teams offer him and he may see if buffalo can at least offer close to that and he stays with buffalo. As for the narrative that he may feel disrespected and signs elsewhere expecting better opportunities. Perhaps, then again the whole benching him after the fumble may have been to give impression the staff didn't value Mckenzie and when he got targeted often in ne they seemed not to adjust to him like they didn't expect he'd be targeted as he was. Theres also other equally talented fast young wr who may decide they want to play with JA cause he has put enough on tape to see he's a elite qb that can carry a team. So Bills may have a larger number of players that are competing for the chance to play in Buffalo. They improve the oline to be the strongest unit then everything else on O looks better. You have the best wr but with a weak oline you may never get much use of the best wrs so wasting resources.

YoloinOhio Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 At least we know that FA WRs are probably going to line up to play here now. Beane, find a way to extend Diggs and sign davante Adams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I doubt that MacKenzie is interested in staying at this point. He had a rough year with McD and it sounds like there were lots of trust issues. This is a minor inconvenience and not a major problem. The guy had one good game. He is replaceable and being vastly overrated by the fans. We need to upgrade the skill positions not run in place by overpaying for existing players.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Don’t forget McKenzie was a castoff. I am a UGA fan and want McKenzie back, but I also think his skill set isn’t hard to find. There will be plenty of fast small guys in the later rounds of the draft. Heck Stevenson is on the team already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 12 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Actually Beane talked about it in his end season presser last year….. then proceeded to do nothing to attack speed offensively and then relied way to heavily on the draft to address the pass rush. As far as the last 13 seconds…. Their defensive alignment was perplexing to say the least. I am not sure we even needed to rush 3. We could have gone out there with Klein, Milano, Edmunds, and 8 DB's. It is a passing play anyways, would that not be ineligible man down field anyways?

Get an adams on this team with Davis as wr2 and Diggs as a slot would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: I hate this time of year. I think this is a case of trying to read to much into something where we have no context. This could be him just saying that to Josh after all he did on the field, leaving it all out there for the team. Doesn't necessarily mean he is saying good bye. I mean if he was saying good bye, why would he only do that to Allen and not others he is close with on the team or to the Bills or Bills Mafia in general? So for me, this is nothing other than a show of gratitude for the warrior Allen is. I seriously seriously seriously doubt that anyone in the organization has gone up to McKenzie and told him already he wont be brought back. My 2 cents: Nothing to see here but respect between teammates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are projections He had a couple of good games and honestly I think Josh will make a lot of receivers look good. Invest in the lines. We need to think about Knox and Diggs and Davis in two years. Maybe the can sign McKenzie to a three year deal which they can get out of after 2023. I really don’t think he is a must keep piece. And he proved he could do it by getting the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a dynamic returner. That kills two birds with one stone, especially if the Bills let McKenzie walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) If the market for McKenzie ends up being weak, I'd take him cheap as our #4 WR going into the season. Just not really interested in anything more than that; we can almost certainly find a better WR to pair with Diggs and Davis without spending a ton. 5 minutes ago, Wyobills89 said: I really think Diggs would be a beast slot wr with his route running, no knock on Diggs but he just isn't big/fast enough as a true 1. Get an adams on this team with Davis as wr2 and Diggs as a slot would be amazing. He's literally been one of the best #1 WRs in the league the past two years (and arguably before that as well).
