Diggs traded to Texans for picks

I can't say that's true for me (the "eager to put my boot on it" part).

 

I was surprised, taken aback, and I feel that the Bills are a worse team today than they were yesterday.

Brandon Beane agrees that we’re probably a little worse talent wise, and would still prefer to pay an extra $3M to show Diggs the door.

 

That’s enough for me to say good riddance.

Watching the Buffalo Miami game on nfl network right now. Game is in early Oct 2023.

 

Diggs is tearing it up.

 

I'm going to miss him

 

 

Speaking of boots, that is probably the game that earned a boot in the butt for Vic Fangio and a shot at DC for Anthony Weaver.  More to it of course, but he stubbornly kept Kader Kohou on Diggs when it was clear he might have achieved better coverage on Diggs with a Dolphins Cheerleader.

I don't know how much this hurts us as a team this season, but I do know those that are now ripping Diggs performance in the last half of the season and in the playoffs since he's no longer a Bill are probably not thinking about the attention he was getting which allowed guys like Shakir to make plays. That stuff matters, and now those players will have more attention coming their way. Just putting things in perspective a bit 

 

Another thing I want to comment on is that Beane has really done something very unlike him...which is to paint himself into a corner in the draft. Now the Bills have made it blatantly obvious that we need to draft wideouts, and early at that. What I'd like to see is for him to stand pat and draft a Legette, Mitchell, or Keon Coleman if he feels they are worthy of the spot they would be selected.

 

If Beane does decide to move up, then he better be absolutely positive he's getting a star because it's going to cost us alot this year and probably next as well

 

Beane also better hope the Texans don't beat us and advance further in the playoffs. That will make things even more embarrassing for a franchise that doesn't need anymore of that

Belichick was known for getting rid of players a little early rather than late, and somehow they kept winning.  Hope we can too.

 

Yes, this is where I am

It may be necessary surgery, I'm not in a position to judge.

This was a long time coming 

 

and imo the definition of addition by subtraction

Fair enough and I was making a collective judgment about this board's sentiment. I am usually not condescending to any player, let alone a Bills ex-player. But clearly Diggs had over-stayed his welcome and it is now evident that many of us (me included) dont feel the tinge of sadness that they did with the other players this offseason.

To that last, I would certainly like you to be proven correct.

I still love the guy. Classy goodbye on his IG whatever issues there were.

The "tinge of sadness" part is true.  I thought Morse seemed like 100% stand up guy, classy, took responsibility, but also came across as speaking his mind ("we've been yelling at that ***** to slide!").  Tre' White was a treasure.

 

Diggs did come across as petulant on the sidelines and certainly unwilling to fulfill his league-mandated press responsibilities, so I don't feel that "damn, we let a Good Man walk out of the room!"

Of course they will

 

They see him hyping up teammates when he knows the camera's on and thought he was a leader

Well, it's better than a kick in the teeth, but it reads to me as though it were carefully crafted by his own and/or the Bills PR team.

Stop questioning Beane so much. Just enjoy the ride.

ALL OF THE ABOVE!

 

This was a rube move made by a Rookie GM. 
 

Gap Diggs?

okay?

 

But don’t give him away for a few used GOAT deflated balls, cost your team a fortune, get nada in return and most importantly- do it BEFORE the Draft, rather than disguising it during!

 

Thereby getting the entire NFL to laugh at you when you come calling to move down for Odunze! And you better be getting an Odunze type after this situational FUBAR!

DC’s weren’t sweating Diggs 40 YPG output near the end there.

 

Sneed gets put on Diggs and erases him for 4 Q’s. He’s closer to an afterthought than you think.

This is what ive been saying. If im a possible trade partner with the bills….my price just went up. The bills no longer “want” a wide receiver. They “need” a wide reciever.
