    He's had issues in the 1st quarter over the last three weeks before looking like his usual self the rest of the game. Slow starts for sure. Hopefully something he can work on because spotting a defense a full quarter isn't going to work in the playoffs.

     

    He more then spotted them a quarter. He kept 14 points off the board with poor decisions and bad plays.

    And the first. Eat the ball and take the three. Team game. 

     

    Or try to extend... As it turned out Gabe broke to completely open air. Whether he was right or not if Josh can extend the play for an extra second he sees it. There was no one around Gabe. Another Josh panic play, and these have cost us all year long... All year... He's puckering up and I literally have no clue as to why because I've seen the dude have ice in his veins.

    Completely unrelated to the bills I think giving Lamar two weeks off is a blunder honestly…if they couldn’t have gotten the bye and had the 2 seed clinched then I’m all for resting key starters and Lamar all game but there’s a pretty good chance ravens come out flat in their first playoff game 

     

    I would’ve played him a half if it was up to me

     

    If nothing else they are clearly tempting fate based on what happened the last time they did the same thing. I think they'll see this weather as being a good excuse, and they are probably right... But if they come out flat vs their likely 1st round opponent Cleveland it could get interesting.

    I'm sure all of you that watch the games closely have noticed Diggs coming off the field several times each game in crucial third down and other passing situations.  Has happened a lot in recent weeks. His general snap count is down as well, has played less than 70% of offensive snaps in all recent weeks.  Tim Graham has an article today in the Athletic about it, where he quotes Devin McCourty who has been examining this very issue leading up to the bills/fins game. https://theathletic.com/5180397/2024/01/05/buffalo-bills-dolphins-stefon-diggs-devin-mccourty/   It's behind a paywall but the gist of it is that McCourty is speculating that something is going on behind the scenes with Bills/Diggs, and the coaches/Allen won't say it but they are just trying to get through this season and the Bills may even be doing a little bit "we don't need you to win" type stuff by not playing him in certain crucial moments that any other #1WR would be in for.  Why else would our best skill player not be on the field on crucial third downs in must win games? McCourty states that it has to be something serious going on or else it's coaching malpractice. I agree with him. I have noticed Diggs coming off the field too (not just when he asks for a breather but being designed off on third downs).  Graham/McCourty got a lot of negative reaction from Bills fans in the comments, but I thought they were asking all the right questions.  The coaches have said a few different things about why his production is down but none of them make sense. The double team thing has been sighted a lot, but then why isn't he playing almost every single play if that the case, as that would open up the offense ?  Curious to hear people's thoughts on this board.

     

    Who knows? Seems like it's always something with this bunch... Diggs not being on the field on 3rd downs is just dumb, so there has to be something more to it.

    This is not to mention the turnovers.  That INT today was a first down throw.  It wasn’t an “arm punt” on 3rd down.  

     

    That pass was so incredibly bad today... Should have never been thrown. But there was a slight opportunity if the ball is out quicker and it's a rope. Instead he's late and he lofts it up there so soft it's an easy INT... Totally agree on the 1st down point as well... Embarrassing... He HAS to be better yet he keeps doing these stupid...Just dumb things... It's so incredibly frustrating because, like most of you, this is my favorite player ever... Even more than any of the late 80's-90's Bills. But it is what it is at this point. 

     

    The INT across his body vs SD was also a terrible decision. Both those INT's were at points of the game where you get a sustained drive for points and you can take a BIG step putting the game away early. But instead you give the other team life. And he's done that so much this year it's more than troubling. I'm not sure I can take another year like this....lol

  6. The Dolphins are going to be all kinds of banged up no matter what next week...

     

    But it's not the Dolphins I'm worried about... I know who the Bills worst enemy is. They will be wearing red, white, and blue. And if they are missing blocks, dropping the ball, missing opening receivers, throwing ill advised passes, and generally being outcoached and outexecuted it won't matter who they play.
