At what point are we just buying a championship? We don’t need OBJ. This isn’t the Miami Heat. 


No one cared that the Rams did it.

This isn't the MLB and NBA, there is no buying a championship in the NFL. Everyone works under the same parameters with roughly the same revenue. We're not talking Los Angeles Dodgers vs Oakland A's here.

Bills core players who have been drafted and developed:

 

Josh Allen

Dion Dawkins

Dawson Knox

Gabe Davis

Ed Oliver

Greg Rousseau

Matt Milano

Tremaine Edmunds

Tre White

 

This is not a mercenary team.  You'll probably have to get used to the Bills being a one year destination for vets who want a chance at a ring.

it’s an odd addition. Is wr a real weak spot for us right now? It may be our strongest position behind qb 

 

We have an elite WR1 and a top end WR2.  

 

After that, we have two healthy slot guys..  One is a decent slot/gadget WR and the other a promising rookie.

 

Kumerow will be back at some point, and provides ok depth outside. 

 

OBJ is a massive upgrade over McKenzie/Kumerow and allows us to bring Shakir along slowly.

Think of being able to line Diggs up in the slot often....huge mismatch

Agreed. I don’t agree that the wr group is so deep, one injury to the top, and it ain’t looking to pretty on the outside.

Two vastly different sports not a great comparison.

Obj + Miller worked for LA. 

I can’t help but remember cracked rib Beasley at AFCC. I’d swallow the drama pill / WR insurance for this year. 


For all the media drama Odell causes (which is not really his fault for the most part) his teammates outside of Baker Mayfield love him. This isn’t a TO situation where his teammates “put up” with him. So I think OBJ in the locker room won’t be an issue.

We are a Gabe Davis ankle tweak or a Diggs injury away to being stuck in the mud on offense.  Did you not see the futility that was our passing game while Davis was hobbled?

Bingo. Even if it's not OBJ, I'd like a WR who could make an impact in this offense.

We could have a "verbal agreement" that we'll sign him once he passes a physical and is cleared to play?


Would explain why Von has been so adamant that he's coming here and his increased interactions with Diggs

we are working in the confines of a cap system.  Good teams get good players.  We are not buying more than any NFL Champ

I never know if you're being sarcastic or not, but "futility" is a bit strong.

 

The only game with <413 total yards of total offense was in rainy Baltimore.

 

I absolutely admit that having Gabe healthy is a huge benefit to this offense.  I also admit that I'd like to sign OBJ.

What in the what???

 

OneBillsLive was talking about the possibility and that whole situation, and Bills Twitter linked the YouTube video in a tweet. For whatever that means. 🤷‍♂️

To me the Von talk sounds like a friend trying to get his friend the best deal possible. The more talk the more I don’t believe he’s on the Bills radar.

 

But he did sneak in and out of Buffalo a few days ago so what was that about? Just visiting friends?

Losing either Diggs or Davis and this offense is in trouble as evidenced by our inability to stretch the field and score points against Baltimore and Miami. 

 

Meanwhile we lose 3 guys on our interior Dline (Settle, Phillips, Oliver) and there is no discernible difference in game play.

 

You can keep laughing about our situation at WR but we will need pass catchers.  Kumerow and Hodgins aren't the answer.  Knox has to block because the OL is trash.  But at least we have 12 fresh Dlineman.
