This kinda scares me as my take it was mostly Kim who wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills. I also think she was the one who helped forge the FO and Coaching staff. Regardless, we all see what Terry has done with the Sabres so far...So yea, hands off pls.

No question in my view. Jim Kelly and Co have 4 AFC Championship rings...alas no SB ring. It's what some NFL players all play for...I'd bet Josh Allen would play for free

When you look at the KC Chiefs vs Buffalo they have a super top OC / HC that is at a genius level. Their offensive line didn't allow a single sack against that Eagle defense. Does anyone else recall what they did to the Buffalo O line when they last met? That Eagle defense was way better this season. I don't see the KC WR corps as better than the Buffalo Bills at all. It's that damned TE Travis Kelce that makes that offense so potent. So, QB vs QB..even OC vs OC Chiefs by 1000 miles. Chiefs O line vs O line, perhaps the Bill caught up a bit this offseason...maybe. Chiefs WR Corps vs WR corps... Buffalo can ya DIGGS it! Bills TE vs TE...Chiefs...for now. Dalton Kincade? Chiefs. Still, Buffalo has beaten the Chiefs in the past two regular seasons during the season. We will very soon see what the Buffalo offense will look like in 2023.

Sometimes things happen for a reason... This reminds me of Antonio Brown or JJ Watt. He chose money over a real shot at a ring. We will see.

Good points! Not only all that.,..this franchise hasn't had a QB like Josh Allen in forever. I suspect this season's offense will be even better than past offenses.

Blockbuster Bills Trade Proposal Ships Aging All-Pro WR to Buffalo Story by Nathan Dougherty • 3h ago MSN story, no link

Cooper Kupp Suggested As Major Bills’ Trade Target (msn.com) As much as I like Stephon Diggs in what he has done as a Buffalo Bill. I can't get over the fact that he has a tantrum on the sidelines yelling at his QB during a big game. The guy had more targets than any other receiver (10 catches, 4 receptions for 35 yards) which is pretty pathetic. Allen was under heavy pressure all game and the only receiver who looked to do anything with the ball was Dawson Knox (7 targets, 5 receptions for 65 yards) Nobody played well that game. Yea, I get that the guy is competitive and wants to win...as does every player on that team! No need for all this high drama at all. I also get that Diggs is a special receiver. But then, the league has a bunch of players as good who don't let their emotions get the better of them. The Rams might want to unload Cooper Kupp, as others have mentioned Mike Evans, D Hop. I'm still hoping that D-Hop gives in to his desire to win an SB and signs with Buffalo. Anyway, these other young, new players deserve a chance to show what they can do with a QB like Josh Allen throwing to them. I have faith that the Buffalo offense will be fine with the passing offense this season.

About freaking time...now hope he gets in!

D-Hop wants what OBJ got in 15 mill per. Doubt that will happen with Buffalo...as much as I'd like to see it. This thing with Diggs still kinda bugs me as he saw the most passes against the Bengals and didn't do all that much with them. Then went off on JA. The guy isn't smart enough to get that Allen is doing his best. Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp...find a way

HC for 6 seasons and 5 of those 6 in the playoffs with the last 3 as AFC East division winners. Arguably the best HC, GM tandem in the history of the Buffalo Bills After that Bengals playoff loss, so many Buffalo fans posting here are like little children that want their Maypo NOW...NOW, GDI NOW! Look at the very best head coach in the league right now is Kansas City Chiefs Andy Reid. For 14 years he was the Eagles HC and only went to the SB once and didn't win it in all that time. He did get the Eagles there in his sixth season. Reid has been the HC of the Chiefs for 10 years and he has yet to have a losing season. His team has been in the SB 3 of the last 4 years and won 2 of them. Amazing! This is the team that Buffalo must contend with to get to a super bowl. The Bills have beaten the Chiefs 2x now in the regular season so they have proven that they have what it takes. Just a matter of time. Good deal that Beane and McDermott were shown by the owners that they are not going anywhere! Makes me happy!

The Bills fans bleating became almost biblical after that Cincy loss... Fire EVERYONE! Fire Beane, Fire McD, Fire Frazier, Fire Dorsey! Buffalo fans believed all the pre-season hype about the Bills winning the SB. Guess what! Cincinnati and 14 other AFC teams didn't make it either. It was a truly crap way to end the season with a loss at home in the snow...alas, everything just caught up with the team on the wrong day. Get over it... and start thinking about the 2023 season. Lots of good changes and hope the injury bug hits other teams like it has in previous seasons. Do you happen to drive a BMW?

What I believe is this all boils down to what happened in that Cincinnati playoff loss with Diggs. The man did have 10 targets, which was 3 more than Knox and 2 more than Singletary. Allen went 25 of 42 for 264 yards, 0, 1 INT. Sacked only once but was under pressure all game...running for his life! Almost as much pressure as the Dolphins put on Allen the week previous only with far less blitzing. Knox went 5 of 7 for 65 yards. (Should have seen more targets!) Singletary went 5 of 8 for 37 yards. Diggs went 4 of 10 targets for 35 yards. (Now, those are some piss poor numbers!) Davis went 2 of 4 for 34 yards. Beasley went 3 of 4 for 33 yards. Lil Dirty went 2 of 2 for 10 yards. Shakir went 2 of 2 for 40 yards. Morris went 1 of 2 for 6 yards. Hines went 1 of 1 for 4 yards. James Cook saw no passes. ToP 33:54 vs 26:06 Bills My thoughts are the Bengals had the Buffalo offense scouted perfectly and played them extremely well in shutting down that vaunted Bills passing offense. The game was honestly lost in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Bengals seemed to run well...34 rushes, 172 yards, 1 TD. Mixon had 20 carries for 105 yards, 1 TD. Bills fans were not used to seeing the Buffalo Bills losing like that in the snow and cold. Was it a bad game plan on both sides of the ball? I can only hope that the Buffalo coaches fix this... sh**... because the entire NFL world watched that game and will attempt to copy what Cincinnati did in that game.

Dunno anything about the "hate" for the guy as he was an NFL rookie OC. Stats wise the Buffalo offense was #2 overall in points, and yards which equal the best season Brian Daboll had as the Buffalo OC. Clearly, the Buffalo offensive line took a big step back in 2022. In that Miami playoff game, the Phin's strategy was to put heavy pressure on QB Josh Allen all day and it worked to a degree. The Bengals were also able to get in Allen's face quite a bit in that playoff game and as a result of that playoff loss at home in Buffalo, so many Bills fans were breaking out the pitchforks. The Buffalo Bill's offense and the passing game went out the window on that snowy January 22 playoff day. The Bengals were able to run the ball all day with 34 rushes for 172 yards, 1 TD. Buffalo on the other hand went 19 rushes for 64 yards. When the passing game falters the team needs to be able to run the ball effectively. That playoff game basically showed why the Bills needed better run defense and a better-rushing offense. That's exactly what made those 90's Bills so special in the snow and cold with Thurman Thomas running it. Anyway, https://www.cover1.net/buffalo-bills-offense-josh-allen-what-went-wrong/ "*The Bills’ offense lacked middle-of-the-field production in the passing game in 2022, which affected the team’s performance. *Josh Allen had a tendency to avoid throwing over the middle of the field due to a lack of trust in his weapons. *The lack of consistency in the slot receiver position affected the Bills’ ability to open up avenues for the rest of the offense. *Data from interceptions and drops shows that Josh Allen was much more comfortable throwing to the boundaries rather than over the middle of the field. *We analyze heat maps of Stefon Diggs’ production to show the change in the Bills’ passing game in the latter half of the season, as they began to throw more toward the numbers and boundaries. *Consistent slot receivers, like Cole Beasley, provide a “crutch” for the offense and allow for hot routes and site adjustments in the middle of the field, which are crucial for making plays."

Makes me wonder if this continues... if Beane will find a way to get D-Hop into a Bills uni.

"It's basically impossible for Stefon Diggs to not be on the Bills this season.. The way his contract is structured he essentially can't be moved" ~ @RapSheet

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-FtLGX1I3XQ Clearly, Diggs is unhappy with the way that Bengals game went and he is still unhappy about it. Looking at Diggs yelling at Allen on the sidelines, Josh just kept his head down. Something going on between the two. Can't trade, can't cut. Mahomes did fine after the team traded away Tyreek Hill...who knows?

I was all for going after SD RB Austin Ekeler mostly because of his TDs and pass-catching out of the backfield. The Chargers upped his pay by 2 mill per for this year so he isn't going anywhere...this season. I look at Dalvin Cook with that same eye in that he would be that RB that QB Jim Kelly was calling for Buffalo to play like Thurman Thomas. Cook would certainly fit the bill, provided of course that Buffalo actually calls some running plays during games. Buffalo with Singletary 177 rush attempts vs Minnesota with Cook 264 rush attempts. Both RBs averaged around 4.4 for Cook, and 4.6 for Singletary. Hopefully with this offseasons upgrades to the offensive line the Bills will be able to run the ball when needed. Like that NE wind game, like in the red zone to save Josh Allen some wear and tear. Like a third and short where they actually make a first down running it. I have no idea how they could afford it... but I'd be all for going after James's big bro.

POOF, Beane granted your wish!

Magic Beanes strikes again! Gotta love this move!

What's crazy is the Chief's best receiver a few years ago was Tyreek Hill and with his speed and big plays, everyone thought the Chiefs were done after he went to Miami. They didn't pay Hill and went on to win an SB. At this point, I'd be happier going after RB Dalvin Cook over D Hop. In 2021 Buffalo showed that they can pass on anyone with a good O line and the receiver corp has been upgraded already.

I'm decently optimistic about this upcoming season mostly because of the offensive line upgrades. I'll be even more optimistic should the Bills sign D-Hop.

It's a good thing that Bill Polain was a firey redhead as he had to fight toe to toe with more than a few to draft the right guys. The late Bills owner was in the draft room trying to get his picks in and fights ensued. Ask Bill about the RBs, and DBs. I do believe the owner's daughter was a scout for the team and ole Bill had his run-ins with her too.

My thoughts are McD has had a huge amount of input into the defensive players drafted since he became HC. Just like trading back for Tre White. What Bills fans need to realize is that the GM doesn't do anything all by himself without consulting scouts, or team coaches. Yes, the buck stops with him as it does with all NFL GMs. Now, look back at all the assistant coaches that have been replaced for one reason or another. OC Rick Dennison, O line coach/run game coordinator Jaun Castillio, QB coach David Cully, WR coach Terry Robiskie, and I'm sure I missed on others. Didn't the Bills change their defensive line coach? Think about an offensive line coach and the GM asks who is expendable...they tell him the wrong guy? Any assistant coach, in any situation at all, is held responsible for helping field the best players at their positions. Assistant coaches matter, as I can't tell you how little I thought of Jaun Castillio who used to be a D-line coach on previous teams. Brandon Beane doesn't screw around and gets rid of the duds.

While I agree with that about Bledsoe. I also know that the guy who recommended Polian for the Job as pro personnel director was Buffalo Bills chief scout Norm Pollom. It was Pollom, who with Polian helped negotiate the draft and contract talks. They made a trade with Cleveland that allowed the Browns to draft Bernie Kosar which also gave them the ability to draft Andre Reed and Frank Riech. Norm Pollom doesn't get much recognition around here as the man had tremendous influence in the building of that franchise into a Superbowl contender. AFAIK, Beane doesn't have that superstar chief scout working for him, nor does he have the free agency period that NFL was like back then. That free agency allowed teams to keep their star players. As I stated, I think Polian was a great Buffalo Bills GM. Just at different times with different situations. My take is it was much more difficult for Beane nowadays simply because the team didn't hit rock bottom which enabled him to get a first-overall round draft pick like Bruce Smith. Back-to-back 2-14 seasons with the next year 4-12. Beane has had 6-10, 10-6, 13-3, 11-6, 13-3. Because of today's free agency along with the NFL salary cap Buffalo has already lost a 2018 #1 pick in Tremaine Edmunds
