There's an old saying " nothing in life is easy." That saying was created for a reason.

Looks like the Bills might need Dhop more than ever now. However, Diggs might blow a casket too. Difficult to evaluate perhaps.

I also liked Jerry. He was a straight shooter. Negative often but wasn't afraid to ask the tough questions. This current media puts no pressure on the Bills whatsoever.

If there are a "million variables in every situation" to consider then is it really that simple?

Come on now. Diggs stayed beyond at the hospital when Damar got hurt. He's not all bad.

Wish it was that simple.

I don't think it's going to be that simple. I wish it was. We have seen the distraction Diggs created in Minn. We have seen a level of immaturity on his part. I'd be pretty surprised if this goes away fast. It's likely to calm down and rear it's head several times throughout the season. I've seen this in the works starting last season. I don't think Diggs had the maturity level to let things go. Things will likely get worse in my opinion. Sadly, both sides really have no outs.

I'd add in his offense with very elementary. He never really had a long term plan. One play was never used to set up another play down the road. He would abandon the run game from game to game or even half to half. Seemed like the offense lacked an identity, rhythm, and cohesiveness. It was clear his inexperience hurt the team. Lou A the Cinci D coordinator ate Dorsey up for lunch. Dorsey led Bills offense was statistically good because of Allen. Dorsey had little to do with putting the Bills in the best position to win.

That's pretty harsh. Let the person vent.

The Bills can still win without a focused and happy Diggs. McD is running the D. That's an instant upgrade. Guys are coming back healthy and the acquisitions will have a positive impact. Josh is likely to have a better Oline and running game. Dorsey has a year under his belt. The roster is still very good. McD knows how to win under adversity. Everyone relax.

The Bills are stuck with Diggs and Diggs is stuck with The Bills. Get your popcorn ready. It won't be a boring season. We fans will be entertained.

I don't know. We have a preview of a unhappy Diggs when in Minn. Things in Buffalo appear to be eerily similar.

Can't hate the game.

Maybe Josh took his girl.

As one poster just responded: I know I am. I lived through most of this team's history. I'd rather be in the tournament every year than not be. For 90% of the Bills existence, we complained about not earning a wild card berth. And here we are agonizing over no Super Bowl. My take isn't absurd.

Hopefully, Diggs will be ready to play and not be a distraction come game time. The Bills really need the best Diggs to compete for the SB.

I don't agree with this assessment. He's merely saying most fans are content with the team's results.

Why?

That's a good point. It denitely is a concern and might not be the wisest decision. I happen to think Allen's presence alone almost gives you a playoff appearence. He's that good and makes everyone around him better. Plus, the current roster looks to be better than good. With that said, I think it's more than plausible a solid coach and coaching staff can take over and excell with this team. It's not a rebuild. It's a change that can reap greater rewards. Losing McD and Dorsey doesn't equate to the team getting worse.

He won the SB and he was possibly robbed of one by the officials. He is obviously an aggressive offensive coach. Imho, he's an upgrade to McD. I just didn't like paying the cost to get him. Yes, the Bills can do much worse than McD. Yes McD doesn't suck. Yes McD hasn't done much in the playoffs with a franchise QB.

He should have said " I f'd up in 13 seconds too.

His record is 4-5 in the playoffs. The last few years he's been borderline awful. I've seen enough to move on from him.

It's not about going out on a limb. I can careless if I'm wrong or right. Often, I want to be wrong because of my pessimism. I've been plenty wrong here and have no qualms about admitting it. As a fan, I don't get paid to figure out how a team gets there. That's beyond my pay grade. I will say when a team lands their franchise QB their chances to get to the SB go up dramatically. I will say having a strong Oline is another important piece. As a fan, I can absolutely be critical of why I think the team has fallen short. Imho, coaching is an issue. I've watched McD basically get outcoached, out schemed, out manuerved, and out prepared the last two seasons of playoff appearences. I don't need to see more. Perhaps that's too judgmental. Too quick of a judgement. I get that. I have no problems with others disagreeing.

Be careful what you ask for. I think the writing is on the wall. I highly doubt McD can lead this team to a SB appearence.

Payton and Reich were upgrades or at the very least a needed change. Creative offensive minded coaches that the Bills lack.
