It seemed like Groot was coming on strong and then seemed to lose steam after the first KC meeting. That said, I believe he has great potential and it will be interesting to see how he grows in his second year. Out of all of our picks, I thought Spencer Brown did the best for us this year. I really do hope he can continue to develop and continue to bring some stability to our o-line.

Is there anyone in particular that you would trade a pick for to get an impact player (like Diggs) at a position of need?

Yes, definitely a lot of hot takes in this one. That said, good take on your part. I do believe Spencer Brown could be special. And there still is a lot of potential in Groot. It wasn’t good that he fell off so early but that doesn’t always mean anything either.

You would trade a first for Barkley? Even with his injury history?

While I hope he can go longer, a strong 15 year career out of JA would be awesome and obtainable IMO. It would surprisingly be 4-5 more years than JK.

Here’s the link. Thoughts? https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bills-2021-rookie-class-does-161553746.html I thought Groot was showing promise after his INT of Mahomes in KC but he seemed to peter out after that. Spencer Brown was the best of the 2021 Bills rookie class. He could have a great 2nd year.

Yeah, the Pats could be in for a long road. At the same time, it is BB, so you never know.

I’m surprised it wasn’t a Dawson Knox picture. 😜🤣

I would’ve never thought that someone would’ve responded with this moment. I mean that in a good way though. That’s why I like sharing these things and starting these types of threads to hear what peoples moments were. Thanks for sharing!

While I think he can still improve, I do think it was enough (not that my opinion is worth anything). You can tell that he can play at an elite level and he already has the all-time franchise TD record for tight ends. While I’m not predicting anything, I do think that Dawson Knox can be an elite and dominating tight end in this league.

Thanks for sharing. Fitz is awesome!

Those were some great moments! Thanks for sharing, bro. I know it didn’t end the way we wanted but it turned out to be a really good season in the end. We showed Pats fans who the beast of the East is. Also, we closed the gap with the Chiefs by beating them and by going toe to toe with them in the Divisional Round.

This is probably sarcasm, but just in case it's not, I believe Groot's INT was the first Chiefs game in the regular season.

To bring some cheer to the forum, let’s talk about our favorite moment(s) of the season. For me, it’s definitely the Chiefs game in the regular season. We were on a roll and the Chiefs were struggling but they’re still the Chiefs. I couldn’t watch the game until after it was over and I thought I saw something that confirmed that the Chiefs were winning or had won. So, I went into the game thinking that we may have lost or at least we’re losing at the time I thought I saw what I saw. Even my wife made a face, she knew what the outcome was, that I read as not good (anybody ever do that where they think they know an outcome of a game based off of someone else’s reaction that knows? 😜🤣) To my surprise, the bills put a beat down on the Chiefs and established themselves as a team that could go toe to toe with them. The Josh Allen leap was amazing and his long TDs to Knox and Beasley were great. He was definitely the better quarterback on the field that night. What’s your favorite moment(s) of the season?

As I mentioned before, the Chiefs are the gold standard right now. We didn’t belong on the same field with them last year. This year, we beat them and went to the wire with them in the playoffs. Just because we met them in the divisional round this year vs. the AFC championship game last year doesn’t mean that we didn’t close the gap against the team to beat in the AFC.

No, it’s progress. Just because it wasn’t the progress you wanted doesn’t mean it didn’t happen or it’s some kind of moral victory. Yes, we didn’t achieve our ultimate goal but progress was made. We didn’t belong on the same field with them last year. This year? We beat them and then went toe to toe with them until we lost in OT.

What does being past moral victories have to do with closing the gap? I acknowledged that we didn’t succeed in our ultimate goal and that it was a tough loss. It doesn’t mean the gap didn’t close and progress can be made. Both things can be true which was kind of the point of my post.

While I don’t agree with your comments about the coaches (the coaches are part of the reason Josh closed the gap), even if what you’re saying is true, the gap was still closed.

The Chiefs are the gold standard in the AFC. As I mentioned, we didn’t belong on the same field with them last year. This year, we beat them and went to the wire with them in the playoffs. just because we met them in the divisional round this year vs. the AFC championship game last year doesn’t mean that we didn’t close the gap against the team to beat in the AFC.

What’s so pollyanna about acknowledging a tough loss and mentioning that they didn’t achieve their ultimate goal but also acknowledging that progress was made because the gap between the bills and chiefs have closed?

Because football is win or go home in the playoffs, because you’re judged by wins and losses, sometimes the feelings are too black and white. Yes, it was gut wrenching. Yes, I still can’t believe that we couldn’t stop them with 13 seconds left. 13 SECONDS! It was a tough, hard loss and it’s going to be a long off-season. This isn’t a moral victory post. We lost and didn’t achieve our ultimate goal. That said, we still closed the gap. Progress was still made. Last year we lost to them at home and didn’t play well and then we got embarrassed in the AFC Championship game. We weren’t on the same level with them and it showed. This year, we beat them by eighteen points in the regular season and lost a heartbreaker in OT in the playoffs. Many would consider us to be pretty even with the Chiefs now, or at the very least, very stiff competition. We belonged on that field tonight and it went down to the wire. That’s so much different than last year. I know it most likely feels black and white for most people right now and many of you will disagree. That said, while it was a gut wrenching loss, we still closed the gap. Because of #17, we’re not going anywhere and we’ll be back. Let’s get better in the off-season and get back to it in 2022. Go Bills!

He did have that awesome INT last time. Hopefully he can have a game changing type of play again.

Hopefully it’s a totally different scene this time. Go Bills!!!

Good choice, fellas. This season it seems like when he's had a quiet game or two, he's come out and just dominates. This would be huge. Go Bills!

“Go ahead, make my day!”
