If Rodgers gets absolutely destroyed this season behind that line you know he’ll be stewing over that money he gave up while he nurses his various injuries. Idk I have never got the hype for them or the Dolphins this offseason. I still think the Bills are leagues ahead of both.

Becton has looked rough pretty much forever hasn’t he? good luck Aaron.

I’m comparing Diggs reaction to things going sideways in that Bengals game to what the cameras also showed us of Allen during the same game. That’s what Allen looked like to me - in space somewhere. Checked out. Other QBs have looked the same way when it just isn’t their day, as you pointed out. And that is okay. My whole point is neither bothers me. And as far as Diggs “interrupting” Josh on his tablet, well I’d figure listening to your only elite weapon in the midst of a win or go home playoff game (even if he’s only venting) is more important than checking replays. Make time for both, since we all know, so they should definitely know, that Diggs isn’t going to be quiet about it. Any conduct fans or commentators are deeming as “counterproductive” by Diggs is far outweighed by his ACTUAL PRODUCTION on the field Or don’t! Like I said if they both continue to produce - awesome. If one or both still have a hair up their a** about how it went down then one will be gone, it won’t be Allen and the team will probably be worse off for it. My whole issue in this thread and the earlier ones about Diggs and minicamp isn’t with you - it’s with the usual suspects claiming the team needs to get rid of Diggs, he’s not worth it, he’s F’ing up the culture or the “process” (whatever that is.) Picture a Bills team with the roster as currently constructed without Stefon Diggs. That’s not great. That’s not even good, at least on offense. So you learn to manage your personalities and figure it out.

JW flubbed his question, for sure. He admitted it afterwards.

I’m not defending Diggs so much as I am accepting it. He’s equally demonstrative when things are going well. Knowing his production over the years (which is all I really care about) I’ve learned to accept it and him for what he is. I absolutely do not care about whether or not he hurt Josh Allen’s feelings. Both men are paid enough to where if they can’t work it out, or if one or the other is hung up on this or that supposed public “slight”, then tough, I guess. i thought only the manbaby fans got hung up on that sort of **** but maybe not. That’s fine then. And if something irreparable happened (or is happening) then we all know how it will end already - one of them will be gone, and it won’t be Allen.

Yes we all must have good little soldiers stone faced on the sideline in full “process” mode at all times - including one of the most talented guys on the team.

Well maybe I was tuned out immediately after the season ended so I’ll need some links to some quotes he apparently made on that. And you say you “absolutely” don’t want to get rid of him while attacking his attitude and demeanor throughout this thread about his press conference wherein he said literally all the right things. So I guess I’m a little confused on that as well. The team is almost certainly going to face adversity again in some form. Hopefully not as much as late last year but still - and Diggs will probably express frustration at that adversity in some sort of public way. Are you saying that that next time is the last straw? Or next to last or whatever?

That’s inside baseball we can’t know that…

No kidding. When did I or anyone else criticize any particular player’s drive to win?

But he expressed his frustration in the wrong way (or at least, the wrong way to some people) so he must be held over the coals some more. yeah well maybe just get rid of him then. Let’s see how they fare. Making an a** out of himself? How so? Personally your moralizing is getting annoying so I’ll just leave it there.

I don’t doubt your source but I do not think they are privy to every single conversation that have occurred between Diggs and Allen/McDermott/Dorsey since January. And even if he didn’t apologize for, whatever, I didn’t have a problem with him in that game anyways. I was more concerned with Allen staring off into space on the bench (during the game) like he just had to put his dog down or something. So yeah - Diggs being expressive and emotional on the field, on the sidelines during games - that’s probably not going to change. I have no problem with it. Maybe you do and your “source” does but it’s pretty clear by now that’s who he is.

Matt Ryan huh. Well I went to BC so I suppose I have to wish him well but I don’t think that’s going work out so great.

He was publicly unapologetic. No matter what we think of his behavior during and after that last game, he doesn’t need to offer a public apology for anything.

Well yeah. That’s why they did this they assume they have a little window here with Rodgers for 2 years so that’s what they’re going to do obviously.

thanks - yeah I’m surprised a little that they did this already but it was inevitable.

well he’s a rookie so see whatever you want to see but the fact he probably won’t start week 1 means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

thanks for the live updates!

Burrow’s deal is going to be massive.

I think the toolsets of the two are distinct enough that you can make a case for one over the other, and obviously you know which way I lean. And Mayer as a potential Gronk is plain silly.

Cook’s not fast all of a sudden (4.42)? Harty (4.48)? Hell Sherfield ran a 4.45. What is “real speed”?

figures the Pats’ fan would slobber over the ND prospect 🙄. Kincaid is the far better choice for what the Bills need.

So the Buffalo News from earlier today: “The [standard NFL] contract stated those activities ‘shall include, but shall not be limited to skydiving, hang-gliding, mountain climbing, racing of any kind, use of motorcycles, use of any off-road vehicle, firearms, scuba diving and snow or water skiing.’ Those activities would find the player in "breach" of his contract.” obviously jet skiing isn’t specifically listed, but there is a catch-all clause in there, as well as “racing of any kind” and “any off-road vehicle” (not usually used to describe personal watercraft, but still.) So if the team wanted to, I’m sure they could make some sort of case for breach. I highly doubt they will. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/in-wake-of-nyheim-hines-injury-heres-what-standard-nfl-contracts-say-about-banned-off/article_1baaff32-2a4d-11ee-9d04-23173a879dde.html#:~:text=The contract stated those activities,"breach" of his contract. (Paywalled)

probably best not to just assume riding a jet ski is a prohibited activity. It’s not an inherently dangerous or extremely risky thing to do. That seems like incredibly stupid design.

Day to day. He’s fine

he changed his name.
