-Mitch Morse - Illness, no practice today

-Terrel Bernard currently has 6.5 sacks this season, T.Edmunds had 6.5 in 5 seasons.

-40% of the NFL's starting QB's are currently not playing due to injury

Did not know this about Martin last game

It's good to know he should be 100% healthy for next season. As others have mentioned, Im pretty stoked to see Milano, Benford, Douglas, Bernard, etc...healthy and playing next year. Just need a replacement for Hyde & to shore up the D line.

McCourty doesn't understand what is going on and is just throwing stuff out there.

There is a lot of that going on with the slump that Diggs and Allen have gotten themselves into lately.

I don't agree with McCourty, but I won't be shocked in the slightest if the Bills move on from Diggs this off-season, dead cap and all.

I'd say this season has radically improved Beane's draft record. No?

2019 - Oliver, Singletary, Knox
2020 - Epenesa, Moss, Davis, Bass
2021 - Rousseau, Brown
2022 - Cook, Bernard, Shakir, Benford
2023 - Kincaid, Torrence

It'd be nice to have a home run in there somewhere, but given the draft capital available... it's been a pretty good year for some guys.

Bernard + Benford may not be homerun picks, but they're far outplaying their draft positions. Oliver is playing at a level that may actually give his draft position some merit.

There is a lot of that going on with the slump that Diggs and Allen have gotten themselves into lately.

It seems pretty clear to me tbh, they were forcing stuff to Diggs and Gabe at the beginning of the year and teams honed in on it. They have recently gone away from It and included Cook, Kinkaid and Shakir more in the passing game while running it more. Diggs and Gabe have made key plays when called upon. I don't see why you would force something after watching it fail previously. Even recently, when taking deep shots with Diggs, it's been double covered and picked or almost picked. I'd love to see Brady scheme Diggs on some medium (15 yard) slants as his breaks are usually clean and he has shown he can create after the catch.

I highly doubt they move on from Diggs especially with all the Von Miller mess and that huge dead cap situation, as well.

The only way I could see this team getting rid of Diggs would be trading him for a 1st. A team would have to make taking on that dead cap worth it.

I get that completely. I've messed around with Spotrac a lot, and I understand the cap implications.

I see 3 possible conclusions to the Bills season:
- Don't make playoffs or flame out in the playoffs
- Get to AFC championship but lose
- Get to Super Bowl but lose
- Get to Super Bowl and win

In the first and last scenario, I can see Beane making tough moves. If they don't come close, I can see Beane cutting losses and eating cap in 2024. He might do the same if they win the Super Bowl.

If they come close, then I can see him tikering to get the team over the edge.

The Diggs reporting is past the "journalist trying to stir the pot" point. When someone like McCourty, who's pretty straight forward, starts talking about it, there's got to be something going on.

It's like the Eichel trade chatter the summer before he got hurt. It got reported, and dismissed. But there was something there.

He's always been good at finding NFL talent. The only real issue has been lack of homerun difference makers (which are hard to find when you're not drafting high!). But Oliver and Bernard absolutely are that this season.

Take the painkillers Josh, the F u niffle finger hurts right? and win. Diggs as well. Our super mk ultra duo. .

They. ( trust me) Change your frequency (works great to not be fuqued w as anantenna for insecure thoughts , false vision. Etc). for 3 hours. moderate so you are you, prescient like few others

Then...

McCourty, like most everyone else, is guessing because they have no real inside info with regards to what is happening.

This thread from Cover 1 looks at the data since Brady took over:



I just do not see any way that the Bills, in this SB competing window, eat $30M in dead cap to rid themselves of WR1 when WR2 isn't all that and a UFA.

If they get rid of Diggs, they basically have Shakir and that is it coming back at WR and little cap space to replace Diggs AND Davis. That's not going to happen.
