appoo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: Davis was already replaced. His name is Kahlil Shakir. He clearly became WR2 by late season. Thanks for SOME magic moments, Stefon. route trees are very different there. If anything, I think Justin Shorter gets first crack at replacing Davis if they stay in house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 minutes ago, Fan in Chicago said: Its a quick watch. < 2 mins. Basically said it is a loss for the Bills but not a huge one given he faded away for 2 seasons in a row. Allen always having to answer "are you good with Stefon?" etc This is a great point. It became excruciating for the ultimate good guy, Allen, having to explain Digg's behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juno999 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: Look at his catch percentage and depth of target. Marino has some great numbers on this. He was receiver three from week 7 to 28 and did ***** all in the postseason including a critical drop. Yeah, sometimes guys hit the wall quick Marino does point out great numbers on Diggs, Davis, Kincaid, and Shakir. Pretty telling of why they traded Diggs and let Davis go in FA. Plus I believe Diggs just wore people out to include Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just now, Mr. WEO said: This is a great point. It became excruciating for the ultimate good guy, Allen, having to explain Digg's behavior. HOMER!!!!! (I've been told that having a positive opinion of Josh Allen as a person makes me a jock-sniffing homer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 3 hours ago, Bill from NYC said: I am thinking that perhaps I'm going against the grain with my opinion. I have been very tough on McDermott but my initial reaction to this trade is positive but with a caveat. If he dedicates the early picks to WRs and OTs, I think it was a good move. I don't think that Diggs is getting better, and a #2 is frankly a bit more than I expected. This draft appears to be loaded with receivers and OL, and now is the time to focus more on the offense and these positions specifically. The caveat? If McDermott drafts safeties, corners and other defenders with the early picks we will be heading right back to the Levy/Jauron days and lose football games. I truly hope this doesn't happen but again, at this point I support the trade. Jmo. Before this trade I would have bet money that they would draft defense with their first round pick. But now, I have to think they have at least a few WRs in mind that they believe could be available at #28, and probably a couple they would be willing to trade up for. That being said, I don't think they're going to ignore the cheesecloth they have for a defense, and I would be surprised if they drafted an OL before day three, even with the departure of Morse..

Augie Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 37 minutes ago, PBF81 said: About what? Who cares what Beane said. Look at the talent Houston has and look at our talent, then ask yourself which is better. What Beane says has nothing to do with anything related to our brief discussion here. My point was, roster building is easier when all your money isn’t going to a franchise QB. We shall see, but I still take the Bills as a whole, and I respect what they are doing in Houston. The Diggs deal doesn’t move my needle much. I want to get younger, cheaper and on the proper trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie2times Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Diggs does dumb things that strain relationships. He undermines coaches and teammates. He needs the attention which is a trait that has only grown more as Josh's spotlight grew. He turns around and masquerades his bad behavior and poor choices as being misunderstood or competitive. He makes you the problem not his behavior. He is a headcase, eroding talent, and somebody who came up as a no show in the most competitive situations since he has been here. Everybody around him is now better because he is gone. You can't measure the impact of a bad apple. You can't just take the talent by itself. It's not how this works.

Gunsgoodtime Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: What are you talking about? The Bills will have a cap charge of $30M this year and no player on the roster to show for it. How much more dead do you want that to be??? It's the 6th highest dead cap hit ever in the NFL. What you failed to realize is that you are posting on TBD 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edited April 3 by Gunsgoodtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: With or without Eichel, the Sabres stunk/stink on ice. 13 years of no playoffs (as soon as they get eliminated this season). A record. And if you watch NHL and pay attention, it is sickening how many ex sabres are doing well elsewhere. How could they not stink.

This is the context that seems to be unappreciated by those who are against this trade. He just became too malignant.

london_bills Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 8 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: Just caught yesterday’s tweet. It is absolutely right that Diggs has never criticised the Bills or the Mafia. But he really seemed to have it in for Josh, and it gets to a point where you can’t have WR1 working against the QB in public to that extent. What was yesterday's tweet? I can only see old ones on X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Zabka Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Basically gonna be a one year minor rebuild where Bills are still good enough to challenge for division then will resume being a SB contender in 2 years. The stark contrast here between Beane and how Russ Brandon would have handled trade is enormous. Beane took high road while Russ would have leaked to every local media personality how Diggs “didn’t want to be here anymore” along with multiple anecdotes on why he was a malcontent.

He is going to be a distraction for their excellent young QB. We will see how long Ryans puts up with his attitude. Imo, Ryans will be swifter than McDermott to impose discipline 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
