  1. the drop was a minute into the 2nd half of a 4 point game. open your eyes...
  2. there are other guys Josh could be spreading the ball around to...but he's not doing that. It's all Diggs. It that Gabe Davis's fault too? not one target to a RB last night--wtf is that? Gabe Davis going down for that as well?
  3. One of those games was in London, where Davis caught 6 of 8 targets (including every big pass in the 4thQ on 2 scoring drives) for 100 yards and a TD (2 in a row actually, due to Digg's OPI). Look, you have staked out a position that you can't defend with anything other than "you guys don't know what you are watching-forget stats....let me make some up!". You're off the rails
  4. No one is expecting "perfection" I think everyone was reasonably expecting the Bills to destroy the absolute worst team in the NFL, at home, on national TV.
  5. That's up to his QB. Last year he had 93 targets in 16 games at 6 per in an Offense that ranked 8th in pass attempts. This year's "pass heavy offense" is 15th in attempts. 35% of those have been to one roster player. Last night Diggs had 16 of Allen's throws go his way (caught 10, one for 28 yards)--zero to any RB. link?
  6. 77% of Davis's career catches resulted in 1st downs. 17% were TDs.
  7. They beat the teams they are supposed to beat...
  8. Cousins has been a solid producer for years. Can’t over come a consistently awful Defense. He’s definitely better than Dak and Goff.
  9. lol not only those in first class can sleep. And these guys weren’t flying coach. They had over 2 days to make the few hour adjustment. no one is arguing against the existence of jet leg as a real phenomenon—nowhere have I, so why kept insisting I’m doing just that? It certainly doesn’t act as a counter argument. It’s a straw man counter. It’s unresponsive. my point has been consistently clear: this wasn’t NY to Tokyo. It was an overnight flight 2 zones different than LA to the east coast. Last I checked they haven’t recommended cancellation of all cross country away games due to jet lag. the Bills traveled under the best possible conditions. Any known methods for mitigating even mild time change difference was available to them, including leaving earlier in the week. repetitively chanting “jet lag is real” and implying it’s mere existence is proof that it profoundly negatively affected the Bills should strike even you as “tiresome” no?
  10. its a half day of travel (air plus time change) —all of it in the middle of any east coaster’s normal sleep time. There are any number of sleep aids a prepared traveler will use to stay on that schedule. Kickoff was 50 hrs after they arrived. again from multiple sources present the described effect was nothing like the relatively small number of Bills fans present. First I’ve heard that reported anywhere. Regardless, who the Londoners were cheering louder for made no difference
  11. you weren’t prepared. I’ve made that trip many times. It’s only 5 hours difference. Takeoff at night sleep in the plane. Wake up and it’s morning. Very similar to taking red eye from LA. I wasn’t at the game but I spoke with several who go to nearly every home and away, including London. Lots of stories about how Bills fans were everywhere m, taking over the town, as it were. Plus it seemed on the broadcast overwhelming Bills fans in the stands, it was constantly commented on by the announcers. I haven’t heard anywhere that a small minority in the stands were Bills fans.
  12. Bills should be able to handle an inferior team. Jets or Jags. NJ or London. Tottenham was a "clearly hostile" and filled with "80% opposing fans"? This didn't happen.
  13. Let's assume the unlikely---that Daboll is capable of any of this (innovations!!). Why would he wait until Week 6 to whip out all these "dangerous" plays?
  14. He can cry in his beer with Mario Williams....
  15. Making lobster risotto. Then hope to get a few night landings in before 8pm.
  16. so, 300 per...and you'll hook us up with your friend?
  17. Jordan was the best player coming out of college. Pippen turned into a star--but if you were around then you would understand the dynamic. If not then watch The Last Dance and get back to me. How many other teams at that time does Pippen be the alpha and become a HOFer? Jordan and the Bulls had won 3 in a row before Rodman showed up. Brady and NE had won 3 SBs before Gronk was in college. They won another with Gronk on IR. Kicker? They won 3 SBs with a more accurate kicker after Viniteri left. H had HOF Law and Seymour for the first 3 SBs only. Jordan could back that up right away. That's the way he was. But he didn't exactly have the same cast and crew for all 6 championship years. HE made those guys champs. Pippen was notoriously soft, Rodman was poorly controlled. Both bended to Jordan's will. Brady could not demand greatness until he had rings. That should already make sense to you, given who he was when he entered that first game. What's the hard part here? Diggs isn't doing anything like that. He's not even the best player on his team. The guy who is the best player has to watch these antics and then explain them to the press after. The press didn't create these tantrums. But they sure do lap them up---it's all part of the entertainment. But if you can point to where, by doing these things, Diggs is "being a leader", I'm here to learn.
  18. all 3 were multiple champions who were icons in their sports—their greatness gave them the authority to demand greatness from others—particularly Jordan and Brady, who were not surrounded by some of the best in the game. Diggs is none of those things. He’s a top 5 WR with no rings. Josh Allen is a better football player, yet he has to sit their and watch these antics—-then, worse, has to cover for Diggs in the press. Just play ball
  19. Can we get past the "passion for winning" thing at some point? There are more than a few better players in the league who don't resort to acts of drama (throwing helmets, tablets, shouting at QB) to reveal their passion. Simply put, "the media" understands Diggs's MO....and he delivers for them. Really, what else can Diggs expect from at this point?? Someone needs to tell him "yeah, we see the passion and appreciate it, but act like a pro". It's clear this won't be McD. Maybe Pegula calls him in or something.
  20. all of this. the drama IS manufactured...but not by the media.
