That's pretty much where I am, but none of us know details of what's gone on or going on "behind the scenes" at One Bills Drive.

Well, it’s a good thing that Josh has Curtis, Samuel, and aside from Shakir’s one year improvement the following WR room:

Mack Hollins, Justin Shorter, KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, Tyrell Shavers and Bryan Thompson.

 

I was a really big Beane fan, but watching the way he has left a generational quarterback with without a top tier WR and then a totally mediocre group of receivers is just baffling and negligent, actually bordering on incompetent, and so far as the receivers.  
 

Samuel who has never approached the level of a top tier WR, Shakir who I do think will improve and Kincaid.  Those are Josh’s weapons.  Oh, and the second or third tier of rookie WRs who will take a few years before hopefully hitting their potential.  Maybe those 5th and 6th td draft picks will be the exception to the rule.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boo hoo......like Beane is going to leave the team with no legit WR?!?

 

....need a tissue?

Above average doesn't cut it. Mahomes has Kelce, the best pass catcher in the NFL. Burrow has Chase and maybe still Higgins. Josh Allen lost over 1,900 yards of production in a single offseason. I'm just sick over this. Beane had better have a plan because right now this looks like a 9-8 team.

because they lost one wideout lmfaoo

Unless they have inside info that he's cooked, trading him inside the AFC to an ascending playoff team with a bidding star QB for essentially a late third round pick when considering the picks we gave back was assinine

If Diggs spills the beans on :13, this board is going to explode.

there's an NDA, the NFL owners would sue him into bankruptcy for divulging the directives from league owners to botch the kickoff.

So how long until Diggs starts making cryptic comments about Stroud?

 

 

He will be on his best behavior until he gets a new deal.   This deal puts him on notice because his guarantees are now gone.   He was fine in Buffalo until he got the extension.   It's human nature.  Like getting paid up front to do a job.  The eye tends to wander toward what's next.   That's where the quality of character comes in and unfortunately Diggs doesn't have much of that.

Why trade him in the conference?

 

If Houston goes & beats us & wins the Superbowl I'm not going to be happy. 

Guessing here but:

 

1.  You are looking to get the best deal. They were the only ones that offered you something or at least to the level they did.

 

2.  You think Digg is declining.  Maybe, MAYBE he doesn't decline that much this year or has a bounce-back season.  But you aren't worried that much about this year as this is a re-tooling/get under the cap year for the Bills.  Next year (2025) is the year you load back up, and by then, you are SURE Diggs is on the dowside and no longer making the Texans that much better.

 

3.  You think you matchup with Houston well with or without Diggs, but anything you can do to have someone else knock-off the Chiefs or Bengals before you see them in the playoffs is a plus.

Anyone thing BB, McD & Brady looked at what KC has done the last two years with their WR corp, and say…we can do the same. 

Yeah a TE and 2-3 WR that can get open against Man, and actually catch the damn ball. And we will add a WR in the draft.  Im telling you, if Brady runs his system its more friendly to Josh and has more potential than even Dabol's offense. Its the offense that freaking Drew Brees was getting 5000 yard a season with. Just imagine how Josh will do.

Ugh here we go again with the media making something out of nothing! Sure Adam Schefter himself tweeted out that Diggs is being traded but he's probably just reading into tweets. This is a nothing burger. Allen said he loves Diggs. Beane said he'll be on the team. I for one can't wait to see Diggs rocking the Bills red white and blue this September.

Perhaps deleting this would be your best option

I'm not happy with this move either but honestly I can't believe Beane would just make this move without something up his sleeve as I can't imagine his plan is to go into this season with what have now. Granted I'm not a fan of trading up to get a better WR prospect as no guarantee a rookie going to step in as a WR1 no matter who he is.

I don’t hate the trade, and I think Beane did a brilliant job turning us into contenders. Now I’m starting to see Beane and McD display some of the traits that ended Beane’s tenure in Carolina. Beane is team building the same way he did in Carolina, and it didn’t end great. I worry he’s repeating the same mistakes. 

He wasnt the decision maker in Carolina.  Buffalo went all in and kept the 13 sec team together.  That was the closest they ever got.  Gotta rebuild.  Cap space and draft capital in the future to reshape the roster was generated this year by cleaning out the aging core.

Do we get Aiyuk now? Who is out there?

This seems dramatic and disingenuous to include Davis’ totals (as if some other player couldn’t easily replace his production with his snap count and targets).

 

When the Bills went on their winning streak to end the season and win the division, Davis was barely involved in the offense (to the point where his mom complained on Twitter) and Diggs’ totals were way down. It’s obvious we can win and have an effective offense without them.

Boo hoo they have no money to add a legit WR. Relying on a rookie is not the answer.

Do we think they go the draft route or go after Aiyuk or Higgins?

My guess ... draft route. Don't know if Bills want to hand out a big contract to Aiyuk or Higgins when they can hopefully get a good rookie for 4 years on the cheap. But stay tuned, who knows what lurks in the mind of Beane.

Diggs simply dropped below the line on the Vicky Mendoza diagonal. 

 

 

Haha I remember watching some episodes of that show and not realizing we were supposed to like Ted. That dude would cheat on women but let himself off the hook because he's on his journey to find "the one" and conflated himself as being this great guy that's just so unlucky that he can't find her. At least Barney knew and admitted exactly who he was. 

 

If anyone cares about my rant on a show that's like 15 years old or something in a thread about trading one of our best WR's ever.
