    Diggs is a diva and a clown but Bills fans can also be insufferable at times. Both can be true. 

     

    One thing that is definitely true is that, in general, Bills fans refuse to criticize Allen for anything, and are quick to blame everyone else. It's pretty obvious the WRs don't appreciate that. 

     

    Bills fans refuse to criticise Allen for anything? Are you serious? His facial expressions are studied to the nth degree and ripped to shreds, let alone anything else.

    I’ll preface by saying this is a big nothing burger. 
     

    However … I do often wonder if Josh really is the angel everyone (including me) makes him out to be. 
     

    There is a chance that he’s a total dick. There’s also a chance that some of his teammates take exception to the fact that he’s got no one competing for his job and - perhaps - could be taking advantage of that … by not studying film/being lazy (as has been reported). 
     

    It also seems likely that Josh’s personal life issues were all brought on by no one but himself. 
     

    It is plausible that the diva, here, is Josh Allen and that Diggs called him out on it. 
     

    Diggs was a postseason no-show. That is a fact. 
     

    But I don’t think anyone on the roster wanted to win more than he did and laziness, outside influences and an overly-casual attitude were definitely things he was ever guilty of. 
     

    Just my thoughts. 

     

    I think Josh is human, and makes errors and mistakes like every human does. But, for the Bills, he also openly takes responsibility which is more than Diggs did. Even for things which he isn't necessarily at fault for.

    Yes.  The average worker who has to go back to that same job everyday after snapping at someone and a youth level athlete snapping at someone is the same as a multi-millionaire that can have a fit and sit at home and still get paid those millions of dollars while forcing their way out of the contract they agreed to because they didn't like someone snapping back at them.

     

    Exact same thing.

     

    I think Diggs became too toxic for the locker room but there is no evidence he forced his way out of the contract because Josh snapped back at him.

    No. I’m saying we can do a lot better as a team. Including Allen. 

     

    You're just assuming, as is everyone in the thread, that Josh can do better. That he isn't at his peak. If he is, he's still more than good enough to win the Super Bowl. The question is are the players and coaching around him.

    He has never thrown for 40 TDs in is career but you think he’ll have 60 four years from now? Maybe if he’s the type of personality that dedicates himself to being the best ever he might have chance. At the rate he’s going he has a better chance to get his golf index down to 2 by age 31 than throwing for 60 TDs. 


    Yes. We’ll be fine winning the division and getting knocked out in the playoffs. The Bears, Falcons, Colts would love to be us. 

     

    So what are you saying the Bills should do to push through? Trade Josh?

    Good point 


    Possibly. Though we have seen in Green Bay that the wishes of a franchise QB can be ignored.

     

    I suspect Josh had had enough of the underhand swipes from someone he had considered a brother, though.

    NYG have a shortage of picks and a lot of needs. They also have pick #6 and Schoen and Beene are close. I think #28, a 4th and 5th this year and our 1st next year gets it done. That still leaves us with 8 picks this year And we get one of the top 3. Maybe our choice of 2 of the 3.

     

    for all we know, Beane and Schoen might have a deal agreed upon but it won’t be announced until the NYG are on the clock. Here’s why:  If the league thinks NYG might make the pick, they’ll think NYG might be picking a QB. If this gets a team jumping NYG to get that QB, it benefits Buffalo. If QBs go 1,2,3,4 and Alt 5; we have a choice of all 3

     

     


    Whilst I see the logic, surely they’re not thinking Jones is the answer at QB?

    What was yesterday's tweet? I can only see old ones on X


    Some posted that whilst Josh benefited from having a top receiver, Diggs wasn’t essential to his success. Diggs responded with, “You sure about that?”

    Chiefs did just fine without Hill.  Trust the process.  


    Chiefs also had Kelce at his peak. The Bills have a lot of promise in offense but the majority could still be going through growing pains this year. Highly unlikely, but I’d love them to bring someone like Metcalf in.

    Diggs publicly throwing Allen under the bus surely made Beane's job harder than it should have been.

     

     


    Just caught yesterday’s tweet. It is absolutely right that Diggs has never criticised the Bills or the Mafia. But he really seemed to have it in for Josh, and it gets to a point where you can’t have WR1 working against the QB in public to that extent.

    you honestly thought someone was gonna toss a 1st round pick for a 31 year old WR who was showing legit signs of decline?

     

    Not a first, but maybe two picks rather than one. However, I'll freely admit I have no idea how the calculations work for picks.

  12. I don't mind Diggs going - it struck me he had rapidly become a problem in the locker room rather than someone who could be relied upon. But only a 2nd round pick in 2025 for him. A very poor return which does suggest a level of desperation.

    Most national media has dated, simplistic narratives because they don't pay close enough attention.

     

    And yeah, their narrative is that Josh gets hyper and crazy when the pressure is highest--it got formed by stuff like the Houston playoff game. 

     

    It will stick until Josh beats Mahomes or Burrow in the playoffs, or gets to a Super Bowl. 

     

     

    The irony being it's when the pressure is at it's highest Josh plays at his best. I'd argue his worst performances since becoming elite have been against the weaker sides.

    Josh’s playoff passer rating is less. It’s less when he plays Mahomes too. 

    Not really “barely difference.” Josh has passer ratings in the 80s for 2/3 games against Patrick.

     

    he still plays well though. Just not AS WELL. And the one who plays better has won the SB 3 times in the last 5 years. So that’s probably why one is considered better and the other is criticized. Jmo.

     

    He's a thought which many may not want to consider or address. Maybe whatever he does he simply won't be as good as Mahomes. He's good enough to win a Superbowl - worse QBs than Josh have won Superbowls - but perhaps the Bills do just have the number two (at most). And no matter how much criticism is flung at him, no matter how many times he drives his body into the ground, that won't change.

     

    That, and he played against a much better defense that Mahomes. Allowing an average rating of 123 when his play off average is 'only' 105 speaks volumes.

    This is going to be tough to hear but:

     

    Mahomes in his three playoff games against Allen

     

    1011 yards 9 TD's 0 INT's. He has never had a passer rating of less than 123 (!!!!!) against Allen in the playoffs.

     

    So basically two elite QBs at the top of their game facing off with barely anything between them. Yet one is seen as doing nothing but living, breathing and entertaining NFL 24/7 (whilst somehow having a better golf handicap) whilst the other is lazy and doesn't care.

     

    Go figure.

    Have to assume they meant the play clock.

    Ugh this is going to be interesting to see how often some replay booth guy stops a play. It will be very difficult to stop the play before it is over. These are usually less than a second decision and by the time the replay official can notify anyone the play will be over. That means a possible referral of a TD, a sack, or a turnover. 

    It's the right thing to do and my guess is QBs will just adjust and snap with 1 sec instead of zero. 

     

    I imagine it will be treated like the offside rules in the top football (ok, ok... soccer) leagues. Play will continue until it's conclusion, then revisited if need be.

    He also said he would like to see teams not practice at all. Josh seems to believe in less is more. Makes you wonder how much he watches film and prepares mentally for games.


    These are his words. Imagine if we’re seeing only a fraction of what he’s capable of? Imagine playoff Josh all the time? Maybe we get the #1 seed.

     

     

    And for me, it's ridiculous to think the way to get to the number one seed is to try and get even more out of Josh.
