Cover1 is great. First it was, we shouldn't trade Diggs and we can't trade Diggs Then it was, wow we did trade Diggs Then it was, wow we are better without Diggs. All over the course of 3 months. Selling false-hope to Bills fans is an economic lesson. This fanbase is so starved for a championship, we are the perfect customer for "why Dalton Kincaid may be TE1 next year" hype content. Mack Hollins and MVS are old. Samuel is 28. Rasul Douglas is 100. Hamlin is in year 4. Taylor Rapp is 27. Josh is 28. And then: The Buffalo Bills are the oldest team in the NFL, with a Week 1 average age of 27 years, 5 months, 29 days. https://bookies.com/nfl/picks/nfl-teams-average-age

We ARE figured out already. The thing with those Chan Gailey offenses was that they had two limitations: #1 A physically limited QB. I love Fitz as much as the next guy, but he didn't have the arm to hit the deep outs. That's a third of the field teams didn't care if he threw to because they were picks galore. This allowed them to squat on the short stuff #2 An overall untalented NFL roster. We were trotting out WR's like Donald Jones and David Nelson. Stevie was our only outside threat and our only other true weapons were on running backs. This meant that all teams had to do was make us one-dimensional, and the flaws would compound on themselves as David Nelson was never going to beat teams. Now today, we don't have a problem with #1. Josh not only can make all the throws, he can make throws most guys can't. But if you read point #2, it's like a mad-libs where you can exchange our current names and the past names. Lots of folks, myself included have said the true test of an OC is having a counter-punch when teams figure you out. Dorsey didn't, which is why his offense fell off a cliff after the first couple weeks. Daboll kinda did, but even he would get figured out a bit. At this juncture, it looks like Brady has been figured out. It is on him to adjust. But the problem is that both Daboll and Dorsey had the elite Josh-Diggs combo to fall back on when things weren't working. Brady has no such easy button. Chan didn't either and had the worse QB. I have some hope that Brady will be able to figure something out, but he clearly didn't from last week to this week outside of the "pass to Mack Hollins more" plan which predictably was a disaster. There's honestly just not much you can expect an OC to do with this roster.

O'Cyrus Torrence is arguably one of the worst OG's in football right now. You can't believe this.

Folks don't realize or remember that quality WR's MAKE plays. Sure sometimes the ball isn't perfect. In fact, for most QB's, passes over 30 yards in the air are RARELY perfect. Usually they require the WR to track the ball and adjust their speed to field it. We watch guys like Jayden Reed get wide open and slow down or speed up or run under the ball EVERY WEEK. We aren't talking about superstars (although Reed is quite good), just good NFL players. Mack is not a good NFL WR. That doesn't mean he can't block or catch a perfect missile in his chest on a slant. Of course he can. But he can't MAKE a play happen. All the WR's that make tough catches or explosives are part of the reason those plays are successful. Mack is in year 7, he doesn't have that ability and never will. This isn't Madden where you press X to catch.

Quick, name 5 players on this roster who would sign top 15-20 money at their position if they were FA tomorrow. Not including Josh.

You didn't notice his impact because a WR routinely getting open and making catches for first downs is normal for most NFL teams. The Bills don't do that because they have the dregs of the position. I don't care if we have a JJ-type WR. It would be nice, but its not necessary. What is necessary is to have some good players playing WR that the defenses gameplan for. How many seconds, minutes or hours do you think the Texans spent gameplanning for Mack Hollins? It doesn't matter, because the answer is the same. Zero.

Diggs had more yards than all the Bills WR's combined. He also had more catches than all the Bills WR's combined. He did this on 8 targets. The Bills WRs had 18. Did you watch the game?

Very fun to draft this kid for an answer at S and the safeties suck anyway.

Please call Brandon Beane and let him know. I'm desperate.

Any complimentary WR that can eat into Mack Hollins' 6 targets and his 65% of offensive snaps can play for my team any day of the week.

ENOUGH WITH THE DEEP SHOTS TO MACK HOLLINS, I AM GOING TO EXPLODE

Quietly a good defensive performance?

I didn't think so but they kicked it so whatever haha

ha ha ha the Samuel screen. Its gonna work eventually, maybe?

More Cook! He is the only player on O playing great today. Feed him.

OC isn't making chicken salad, but the offense is honestly total chicken ***** and that's not a coaching problem.

For the BTJ truthers out there, he has 5 catches for 122 yards and 1 TD.

Quietly better?

Coleman lmao

This is the team they wanted bro. Beane isn't shaking his head at Mack getting the most targets. That was their objective.

Do we think the Raiders would be interested in Kincaid for Adams? They can run a 3TE jumbo offense.

What about Darnell Mooney? If you watched, he just burned the Bucs for like 140 yards and 2 TD's. But nah, we were good at outside WR. Needed another bust of a gadget guy.

I really liked the idea of Samuel. Held out hope it was an injury thing. I am giving up. He was a bust of a signing, similar to Harty last year.

When a GM uses one of the few bullets left in his chamber (because of his own fault) and wastes it, we blame the GM.
