I don't really believe the Diggs' ex/friend's ex sex and/or impregnation story to be honest, mainly because Josh made it clear there's nothing personal between Diggs and him. If it had happened I don't think he would have gone out of his way to say that. I was going to say he would beat around the bush but...

At which point Diggs would self combust at Josh taking his job away from him.

Ah ok. That makes more sense. As someone else said before, injury - medication - loss of focus - perhaps wondering is it worth playing through the pain - his morose attitude put pressure on his relationship at home, resulting in more pressure - Hamlin's collapse adding to the "what's the point" spiral, considering financially he's set for life. I can see it. Diggs could be wrong, and his venting is wrong, but I can see why Josh may have become stuck in a rut last year.

And Special Teams.

She's a family member of Josh's? With family members like that...

Though the second line is key - frustrations started around October 2022. It's when the offense started to look problematic after an electric start. Most of it thought it was down to Josh's injury, and perhaps it was. I've always said Josh is the best QB in the league bar none when it comes to talent and skillset. But where the likes of Mahomes and Burrow have the upper hand is consistency and a supreme ability to manage situations when under pressure. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but Josh used to throw up before each game.

Where's Josh sleeping with Diggs' ex come from? I thought it was the gf of a friend of Diggs and, even then, it may have been a joker on Twitter?

Why the need to lie about it, though? It’s not an all encompassing important thing whether he was there or not.

Because Diggs ran off instead of talking. Fled the stadium after the Bengals defeat, didn't bother to empty his locked, happily ran around TV studios to bleat before going off grid. Perhaps Josh told him some home truths and he didn't like it.

Depends what else happens through the season. If they sort it out and move on this is a storm in a teacup. If ot continues to brew and fester there is no doubt it will drag the team down.

Yeah, I know - clinging on little hope, really.

Diggs is damaging the team, not helping it. Skills wise, of course the Bills will be better with him there. But mentally? Emotionally? I really have my doubts.

If it’s about the Bills at all. Someone said earlier it could refer to his brother’s situation and they have a point, even if I responded bluntly at the time. Agree, if it is about the Bills, then Diggs is on a one man bridge burning mission.

It’ll bound to be the wrong size or something. Diggs will post something cryptic on social media in response.

Oh so SHE’S the barmaid?

Again this is all supposition that Diggs is talking about Josh. If so, he could be thinking that Josh is making him look bad, or trying to make himself good, but over-praising the relationship whilst it’s in a bad place. Or Josh isn’t being completely honest about what led to the offensive issues at the end of the season, instead blaming communication. But, as ever, Difgs is so cryptic he could be speaking about anyone. And I doubt he’ll be allowed in front of a mic if he does turn up at training tomorrow.

“I love Stef as a brother” or making clear there isn’t a personal issue between him and Diggs when Diggs feels there is? IF Diggs is talking about Josh. He may not be.

In private, not in public, especially with the situation they’re in. Well, unless you’re the Royal Family. Even then, at least Harry is open with his loathing, instead of trying to create clues to a cryptic crossword.

No, because that gives Josh a right of reply. Stringing it out means all the attention and speculation can fester and grow, which is what Diggs clearly wants.

Know it’s been said loads of times already but the Bills cannot afford to trade him this year.

Diggs craves the drama - always has. He loves the attention and the spotlight shone on him. You’re right, more fool us for giving it to him. *Refreshes page five times in a minute at approaching 1.30am*

The CCTV is lying?

McDermott only said he was ‘concerned’ but then his agent did state he wanted clarification on that statement. Josh spoke more openly about the situation. Diggs needs to come out and just say it now. Too much underhand stirring and not enough getting on with what he’s paid handsomely to do.

All McDermott said was he was ‘concerned’. Josh went into it deeper. Feels like it’s directed at Josh for that reason. Good that Diggs is still revelling in talking in riddles rather than just coming out and saying it.

That is the odd thing. Rule 101 - don't make internal issues public. Yet that's what McDermott did. Beane has always been more comfortable in front of the press and this another example. McDermott should have just said we're in communication with Diggs and understand why he isn't here today, then no commented the rest. At least it then wouldn't have blown up publicly with his agent, and Josh could have followed the same line.
