2020 Our Year For Sure

Why have we been developing Dodson all this time only for him to suck that badly? Not good for a head coach who supposedly knows defense.

And they still completely dominated a defensive line that the Bills' front office had over-invested in.

He's hopeless bro, give it up. He made good decisions on Allen and Diggs and it covers up a whole lot of crap.

Not that it matters, the Bills were somehow stupid enough to have no competition for Davis....again. Mind boggling.

That's a stupid premise. The Bills will always be fine at cornerback as long as Sean McDermott is the Head Coach. They can sign a guy off the street at any time and in a matter of weeks have him functioning well enough in their zone defense to be getting on with-- early on they did it with a forgotten never-was named Ryan Lewis who now plays in the XFL. The defense played at a high level with this crappy nobody starting at CB2. They've excelled with end-of-the-draft nobodies and UDFAs over and over. Levi, Dane, Benford. Kaiir Elam was a pointless ######ed ass draft pick to begin with. The talent level at WR is about 5X more important for this team than at CB. There's probably hyperbole in this rant but no doubt about it there's a gem of a point in there somewhere too.

Maybe it just means they both suck

You sure? Even Dawkins said they didn't play up to their standard at times. I venture a guess other players and coaches would agree in a moment of candor. Are you of the belief they should have no standards for themselves at all in these games? If that's the case then it probably hurts more than helps to play starters at all, opening them up to forming bad habits.

DUNKIN' on Royale With Cheese bro How do you feel?

I think that's fair. I have opinions people don't like to read and I'm still going to state them but I did not spend this offseason spamming the board with them. The point is not to rain on the parade unnecessarily.

Why? Nyheim Hines was acquired "to help Josh Allen" according to Beane. Did he actually take snaps from anyone? And Beasley and Brown had way less time to get acclimated than Hines did.

You say we had 4 WRs- Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Shakir. Three of the four drop a ton of balls. The Bills brought in two sure-handed veterans who Josh knows he can trust with the football. The Bills had sooo many drives end because of drops.

You can play poorly and get volume stats if you get lots of targets from Josh Allen so I don't know what your expectations for his level of play actually are.

Well that's exactly what HappyDays and Badolbilz are doing for us, managing our expectations and helping us understand these guys are just not very good. A LOT of people here have expressed a LOT of optimism about Kahlil Shakir this offseason.

Man that last tweet is the perfect microcosm for this Bills offense. Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and a bunch of crap.

In general I'm skeptical of this regime and fully in prove-it-to-me mode. This was the first offseason where if I was in charge, I would have moved on. So I'm just not apt to go buying into hype trains this time around.

He's always going to be somewhat limited I think. He's not the twitchy type who will thrive underneath and give you YAC while also not being the big contested catch type. He could suddenly learn how to catch after x years of playing receiver and still be lacking vs. the kind of player I'd like to see starting at WR for this team.

Getting harder and harder to imagine tbh.

@HappyDays deserves a shout. Tremendous work this offseason.

@BADOLBILZ for me

Imagine getting Stefon Diggs and then waiting 4 years and counting before using another major asset at WR. Awful management in my opinion. The day the Bills got Diggs my attention immediately went to "Now how do we get Brandon Aiyuk too?" Four years later and still nothing is laughably stupid.

Philly also has two beast receivers on the outside. Something Josh Allen has NEVER had in his career. And may never have. Especially with Beanedermott being extended

When that's the best you got... Something being the norm does not make it rational. Far from.

We've known for a long time an offense needs two WRs. Reed AND Lofton. Moulds AND Price. It's only gotten more important since then, not less. Allen and Diggs are special but they can only do so much. Give them help at ALL costs in my opinion. The moment we traded our 1st rounder for Diggs my attention immediately turned to "Now is there a way we can snag Brandon Aiyuk too?" Here we are 3 years later and nothing of substance at this pivotal position. Go ahead and spin it but I think this is laughably poor management of a modern football team.

He gets numbers because Josh is the QB and there's nobody else. His primary backup was Jake Kumerow ferkryin out loud

Diggs a rookie and a bunch of crap.
