Kinda wish our season and McDermott’s tenure ended on a loss to Easton stick and some interim HC.
Then we’d still have Diggs and all this roster turnover which is happening anyway would be worth it.
We could have already tried out a couple HCs since 13 seconds. Never forget

Last season - DL - Rousseau, Oliver, with a rotation of Floyd, Epenesa, Miller, Settle, Joseph, P Ford and S Lawson
This season - DL - Rousseau, Oliver, D Jones with a rotation of Miller, Epenesa, A Johnson, Smoot, Carter, Solomon, and Jonathan.
This year's group is much stronger.
Last season - LB - Dodson & Benard - with depth of AJ Klein, Williams & Spector
This season - LB - Williams & Benard - with depth of D Jones, Morrow & Spector (or Jones & Benard - with depth of Morrow, Williams & Spector
Honestly, I don't see much difference. When Milano went down last year, they tried Williams and when he failed, the inserted Dodson. This season it's a battle between Williams and D Jones to replace Milano. I really don't see much difference at all, except Williams and Jones have the potential to be better than Dodson. Benard should also be better as a 2nd year starter.
Last Season - CB - Douglas, Johnson & Benford with Elam and Lewis for depth
This season - CB - Douglas, Johnson & Benford with Elam, Lewis, Ingram and Hardy for depth
Benford should be even better as a 2nd year starter and Elam looks vastly improved
Last season - S Rapp & Poyer -
This season - S Rapp & Hamlin - with Bishop and maybe Edwards as depth.
This is the only area that looks like a problem, but Bishop is back to practicing and Hamlin has looked good in camp. He has starter experience of 13 games in 2022 including 91 tackles before his injury.
So we are the same?! Coupdnt stop the chiefs last year either.the goal is to get bette r

Shakir's production under Brady extrapolates out to 906 yards over 17 games, which would have been 34th highest among all pass catchers last season. That wasn't particularly difficult, unless you think we'll be unable or unwilling to use Shakir in the same way we did under Brady last season.
yay! Our WR1 is 34th best. Do you hear what you’re stretching to say?the truth is we needed to add to last years group. There was talk of adding a true #2 or 1B to compliment Diggs and push Davis to #3
instead both are gone and we have a second round rookie and some bottom of the roster players for depth.

Most dlines rotate in the NFL. People who think the Bills are unique by rotating just don't understand how common it is. Not saying that is you, but I see a lot of people complaining about the dline rotation.
I agree. And all it takes is for Watt or Garrett to get injured and miss some weeks, and then it really opens it up.
Might be the fact that there are 2 1st rd picks, a 2nd rd pick on a 2nd contract, 2 FA signings and a rookie at DE and a thread about needing another one on this board.

you should be able to undo a trade down, because that's some lame ass *****, especially letting KC go ahead. Might as well hold the door for them and bow

Not with the falloff in production the second half of the season they wouldn’t. Diggs had issues with everyone in the organization and it was starting to get to the point where it was time to turn the page. Listen to Greg Cosell on One Bills Live after the trade was made he said he hasn’t played like a number 1 receiver for quite awhile and went into detail how Diggs peaked as a player two years ago.
McDermott took over the defense for 13 seconds

lol at getting a first for moving 4 spots back at the end of the first. NFL draft how do they work? The but but Beane says we have a great wr group are hilarious. What’s he going to do? Throw them all under the bus like Diggs would? I’m sure he will continue to target people either through free agency, trades, draft next year after we take our Diggs medicine this year.
Fair, and I was exaggerating about the first but it does seem we re always taking less in these trade downs and paying more in the trade ups. I think there was a report on that just before the draft.

Hoping KC doesn’t get the 1 player is ridiculous when there are so many players still available and it’s only a few picks later. Praying San Fran picks worthy isn’t a draft strategy that helps your team.
Dude what aren't you understanding, they don't know who KC wants but they want someone. Unless they're offering a 1st or maybe 2nd I wouldn't have done it. Especially to just take a backup DT in the 3rd
As a side effect it exposes you didn't want who you nd up picking later that bad

So by your logic KC only liked worthy and only worthy. San Fran also by your logic only liked worthy and would have taken him and yet San Fran didn’t try to move up to secure him. Also KC could have traded with any of the other teams ahead of San Fran. Look these teams aren’t stupid. They probably had a good idea who they liked. It didn’t matter, KC was always going to get him one way or another. We got one of our guys. Move on.
No, you put a lot of words in my mouth there.
First of all, whenever Beane trades up he says "he was the last 1st round grade left on our board" but now KC couldn't be i the same position?
second, never said SF abslutely would have taken him, but we had the earlier pick so we get our choice and hopefully by the time it ets to KC their player will be gone. Why guarantee they get him? The 4th round trade up wasn't worth that alone to me.
third, and this is a new point, trading from 32 to 33 was annoying as hell amking all the fans wait and also cost the 5th year option. was it really that much gained?

higgins still needs to play for a contract.
the bills really screwed up giving that big extension to diggs. and that's not hindsight. it was always questionable.
Agreed it was too early

Fair point but this can all be answered by saying that they got one of their “guys”. Other teams are going to get players as well. We can’t pick them all.
Ok, but one more point. KC's guy could've been picked by SF. We guaranteed they got the guy they want. You can say we can't worry about other teams but we absolutely can.

Thats possible but what’s your point? They ended up with a guy they liked and helped fill another position on the team. I have a feeling though that Worthy was not rated that highly on their board. I think the worthy pick by KC was pretty obvious and the Bills didn’t care.
My point is the Bills may have had a group of 6 players all rated exactly the same (they'd have to for a trade down to 33 to be worth it, especially for such little compensation)
So they let KC choose their guy, then Carolina as well. So they didn't mind losing out on Worthy or Legette, but they also didn't care about Coleman becasue he could've been picked as well.
It's weird I have to say that , but I'm seeing a lot of fans saying "Coleman was their guy" but Beane's actions dont match that narrative.
-
Just now, Rocbillsfan1 said:
They most likely had a few guys rates the same and weren’t that high on Worthy that they just had to pick him.
Why can't he be one of those in the group rated the same?
-
Just now, Rocbillsfan1 said:
I’m actually not ignoring the fact. They 100% knew KC might pick a WR. They didn’t care. It was 100% in the Bills hands and they were ok with moving back.
Oh thought you were talking about Coleman specifically. They were ok with losing out on Coleman clearly. They traded down for him like EJ Manuel, another FSU guy

1 minute ago, Rocbillsfan1 said:
You are totally ignoring the fact that the Bills had the choice. They passed and they passed for a reason. Many other evaluators did not like worthy at all and I was also in that camp. I’m a little worried about Legette but Coleman was their guy and they went out and got him and also were able to get the DT they wanted. Maybe in a couple years we can judge but anyone judging now is talking out of their ass
No, you're completely ignoring the fact that the Bills punted the choice. They didn't know who KC would take (but had to know it would probably be a WR)

Look the Bills knew what they were getting when they traded tor Diggs. Leopards don’t change their spots. Did they adequately prepare for his departure heck no they don’t value WR like other teams do.
I can’t fault Brandon for trading him but it’s clear after his huge drop against the Chiefs the front office was thinking he’d have a quiet off season that of course wasn’t the case and it’s clear that had he stayed in Buffalo another year things would have combusted.What do you mean by combusted? Would he have sat out? Would they have a better chance to win the Superbowl?

The diggs position the bills were in is nothing like the Higgins situation. Night and day difference.
Well I don't know all the details but I suspect our head coach is a major player either directly by being the main reason they haven't won or indirectly by not being able to smooth it over.

I’m a loser ? What
im assuming you mean the Bills
Yeah, sorry, I meant anyone who subscribes to the collective idea that any player who is unhappy because they're not winning is a "cancer". Not saying you said that but I've heard it a lot from Bills and Sabres fans over the years.

Yea Josh was on board because Diggs is selfish #######
Even if they drafted a 4th round rookie how does that make up for losing diggs? It doesn’t. We will figure it out by committee and running the ball this year.
Why does it have to be a 4th round rookie? They let KC and a few other SB competitor teams have a choice first only to move up to the 3rd. Then decided to stay put and get a backup DT

No it wasn’t they have too many holes to fill but they will still compete. Who says they don’t get a true #1 next year either through the draft or free agency. They had to move on this year.
What holes? backup DT, C, Safety, nothing you need to spend premium assets on

Diggs wanted to win and he saw everyone else was just happy with hanging afc east banners. Most of you are going to love this team no matter what and that's your prerogative but he has no ties here and only has a few years left in his career and he wanted to win at least once and he didn't think he could do it here so best of luck to him. I hope he finds what he's looking for
Exactly, if you can't smooth things over with Diggs that's on you. Ignore him and benefit from his on field play and try to win a superbowl again. The reason Cincinatti gave for not trading Higgins was "We're trying to win a superbowl"

F if I'm being honest.
If you gave me a list of potential draft hauls before the draft I would have graded this an F.
I like Van Pran, but if you told me the Bills let the Chiefs go before them so they could move up into the 3rd to draft a DT...
Even the RB, which I think drafting one at all is foolish, was taken right before the guy I wanted.
Do the Bills make the playoffs?

Injuries were baked into your argument.
Offense is much worse also. Traded our #1WR for a guy who is 19 right now
27 points because we were eating clock all game. They scored on every possession until late. Every single one
