Buffalol

[Heismanberg]

OK, but if Diggs catches that ludicrous 60 yard pass then they quite possibly win the game courtesy of a throw virtually no one else in the league can make. I'm not excusing Allen's mistakes and I'm not blaming Diggs for them losing last night, but $28M for 21 yards, 3 catches, a fumble and a crucial drop is part of why they have a problem next season.

If Josh Allen isn't a unclutch piece of a excrement, they quite possibly win the game too. 

Diggs doesn't make $28M for one game.  He's a big reason why they were the #2 seed in the AFC.

He didn't cost $28M this year, or in 2021. That's my point - his contract hit for the last 4 years with the Bills has been

2023: $15M
2022: $11.7M
2021: $6.4M
2020: $13.5M

For the next three years it's $28M, he's 30 years old, and he's not playing to the same level he has previously. Obviously he's still a really good player, but his contract is about to become a significant problem relative to his production. In fact, there are maybe only two receivers in the league who I think would justify that level of contract right now - AJ Brown and CeeDee Lamb, both because their balance of age and production are right.

The biggest problem with Buffalo is not the injuries.  It's all the excuses that Josh Allen gets.

It's never his fault.  The dude has 21 turnovers in the regular season.  He had the ball in crunch time last night and once again, didn't get the job done.  First it was Ken Dorsey.  Then Diggs.  Now Tyler Bass. 

We can blame the kicker, but the QB being an idiot put him in that spot.  He had two checkdowns wide open to get them closer to either a first down or a shorter field goal and went full retard, as usual. 

Can we hire Ken Dorsey, please?

[Heismanberg]

and he's not playing to the same level he has previously.

His stats are nearly identical to 2021's and this is with three other pass catchers taking yardage/targets away from him.

And he's going to be paid 4x as much as 2021 for the same production. Again, this is not a "Stefon Diggs is excrement" discussion, clearly he isn't. This is a "Stefon Diggs is not a $28M a year player" discussion.

I don't really like Jordan Poyer but I wouldn't hate signing him if not expensive and we can't keep Whitehead or onlyfans.  That dude was always around the ball.  He's older though.  We have better places to spend money.

Trubisky is headed back to Buffalo, Kyle Allen to hit the FA market.

[Johnny English]

That's a shame, I would have liked Trubisky here to back up Rodgers.

Also restructured Von Miller's deal to save $8M on the cap this year.
