Yeah this didn’t happen. You’re confusing me with other posters. I took my victory lap with proving Diggs off-season antics were not “nothing” as many claimed. I then even explained in detail how he would be back in practice the next day and the team would smooth it over. That’s pretty much the opposite of making it bigger. What many posters disagreed with me about is the coverup and public relations. Which is progressing exactly as I said it would.

Never really had an affinity for Albert.

Excited is a better word. Some of us were definitely excited. Sure. It proved that many of us who said Diggs yelling at Josh and Diggs removing the Bills from social media and Diggs skipping OTA’s, was not “nothing”. It proved that we were correct that he had a problem with the organization or part of the organization (player, coach, scheme, whatever). But was there overreaction? No. Just claiming my spoils from victory. Those overreacting we’re the ones saying he should be cut, traded, etc.

“Wait until you see what the PR team came up with”

Love your posts RoyBatty. Never change!

None of us have any facts to go off of. Just circumstantial evidence. And right now the evidence points to the team covering this up (and I don’t blame them, as it is exactly what I would do if I were them). Except for the PSE essentially owning the media part. That’s a fact.

There was no overreaction. You seem to be confusing me with other posters. I never said to cut him or fine him or anything of that sort. All I said is that he is spiraling down a bad path (from yelling at his QB in the Cinci loss, to taking Bills stuff off his social media, to skipping voluntaries, to unfollowing the team, to leaving practice, etc) and that the Bills and PSE’s public relations team would try to cover it up once it’s smoothed over. And I was correct every step of the way. Zero overreaction. Those who overreacted were the ones who wanted him gone from the team, which was obviously never happening.

That’s where semantics come into play. Obviously it’s all football related. Whether he doesn’t like the scheme/plays, or doesn’t like the play caller (Dorsey), or has an issue with Allen not being present in the Bengals loss, it’s all football matters. But it can be spun from another angle as well, to say, “well those are personal issues because they don’t take place on the actual football field”. So it’s a semantics game.

I don’t think it was spill over. I believe it was a purposeful comment. A warning shot. I think what will eventually come out, maybe not for a year even as people tend to not go into detail when they’re still on the roster, is that Diggs stormed out after a heated conversation. McDermott then fired the shot across the bow. Purposefully. PR is putting the toothpaste back into the bottle by coming up with the narrative that it was an “excused” absence. Which obviously doesn’t make much sense since McDermott was asked yesterday whether it was an excused absence (oops). But when you own the media in town, you can steer the direction of the talk in the way that you want. And with so many diehard fans willing to believe anything they say, it doesn’t really matter what McD said in that press conference. McD could have said “I want to cut him right now” and they would easily find their way out of it due to the PSE-owned media and homers

Allen saying it’s not football related, McDermott saying it was an excused absence, etc.

“it was oft observed that the vanquished, despite tasting the bitter sting of defeat, did oft perceive themselves as victors in their own hearts”

This is true.

I stand by that image. Homers is not an insult, right?

No hysteria from me. I simply called it like it is. You forgot to mention that I was mentioned and quoted numerous times in a magazine this month (not a joke).

Yes it’s difficult. Thankfully for PSE they have an iron grip on the media so they can control the narrative and steer the direction of talk where they want it to go.

Rare misstep on my part. I shouldn’t have written that. I apologize. I try never to insult anyone.

Yep. As I said it would be…

You must be confusing me with another. I do no insult anyone. I am the one always being insulted. Worst I call someone is a “homer” - which just means a fan that rejects logic in favor of fandom.

That one is better.

Thank you.

Look around you. There are plenty of people who buy it.

“A fool says to the wise man, ‘you are an idiot’ though the wise man only wants to show the fool truth”

Correct. And i’m honestly impressed with that astute observation on your part. McDermott didn’t “slip up”. He purposefully said what he said. It was a shot across the bow. It was planned, and the PR plan was in place before the words ever left his mouth.

Sometimes it’s best to laugh at the lemmings. Here is what I posted 16 hours ago. I told them all the script of how this would go down. It is unfolding nearly exactly as I said it would. Why? Because we run PR campaigns at my company. I know how they work. This was extremely predictable.

You care enough to continue posting in this thread
