The offense is so simple yet so difficult to stop.

Athletic linebackers are needed to stop this offense...cough cough Milano and Edmunds

It's early, but the Diggs trade just might be what defines Brandon Beane's career as a GM.

It was such a no brainer too. A late 1st for a true 1WR. You might get that at that spot if you make the pick, and it might take 3 years for him to develop.

Especially with what is going on with Covid, amazing how quickly Davis has adjusted.

Could this be the best WR trio the Bills have ever had together?

It is interesting to think about

I don't think they're there but they are in the conversation

Who else is better? I think there were better duos than Diggs and Brown, like Reed/Lofton and Moulds/Price(for one year at least), But 3? Brooks was with Reed and Lofton and he was solid, but at the end of a very nice career.

Edit: Never mind Brooks came in when Lofton left. So, no, I don't think there's a better trio.

Perhaps but trading up twice to get Josh probably will define it more?

I think they are behind Reed Lofton and Beebe...Lofton was at the tail end of his career but still really freaking good especially in 91

If the rest of this season plays out anywhere near the first two games we need to revisit this conversation

It's one move to me. He had to get a big name QB. He could've just drafted a WR, and it's arguably the safer move. But "fortuna fortes juvat" and everything.

I think Beasley is better than Beebe. Using profootballreference's approximate value Beebe's was a 5 or 6 for the Bills, and Beasley's last year was a 6, and Beasley catches a much higher percentage of his targets than Beebe did. And though Lofton was still very good, he was over-the-hill when he came here.

10
8
6

In 1991 Reed had 10 receiving TDS, Lofton had 8 and Beebe had 6

Let's see what happens the rest of the year

That year both Reed and Lofton went over 1000 yards, Lofton on 57 catches Reed on 81. Beebe only played 11 games and had 414
