Diggs on track for record breaking season

[Inigo Montoya]

Though just 7 games in a 17 game regular season Diggs already has 55 receptions for 764 yards and 7 TDs.  This is more notable when you consider the first part of the season that the Bills just completed is likely the most difficult part of the schedule.

 

If Diggs keeps pace for the rest of the season he is on track for 1,855 yards receiving, 133 receptions, and 17 TDs.

 

Diggs already holds the franchise records for receptions (127) and receiving yardage (1,535).  Bill Brooks holds the franchise record for receiving TDs with 11 set in 1995.  Diggs had 10 TD receptions last season.

 

The crazy thing is that it doesn't even seem like Diggs is working hard to do it.  At the end of every game I think to myself that Diggs had another good game and when I check the box score I'm surprised by how much production he actually racked up.  He is probably going to break every franchise receiving record this season and is making it look easy.

Everyone is talking about T. Hill being on pace for a 2k season though I believe he only has 2 TDs. His targets are ridiculous though. Teams are letting him get his yards as long as they don't let him in the EZ. I may be a little bias but I think when you consider Speed, Hands, Route Running, Productivity, Durability, IQ and passion for the game and his team mates Stef is the best in the league.

Keep in mind though, Hill is doing that with Tua/backups as his QB, whereas Diggs has Allen.

[Simon Says]

If the Bills cruise toward the playoffs I expect Diggs to be 'rested" so records might be out of reach.

He's a phenomenal talent no doubt. I just feel Diggs is a better "all around" WR. 

 

 

[BuffBillsForLife]

Diggs is amazing and I hope he crushes his own franchise records this year and takes the single season franchise TD record too.

 

His amazing season is being completely eclipsed by the Dolphins embracing the "**** it throw it to Tyreek" strategy though, 2k is a very real possibility.

Tyreek is a fantastic receiver.

 

I watched the last couple Dolphins games because I had some fantasy football interests in them.  Tua is throwing bad balls that should be intercepted, at least three last week, and every "deep shot" to Hill is badly underthrown and he has to come back and compete for the ball.  Hill is having a great season in spite of Tua's poor play.

 

People who say Tua is having a great season only look at the box score.  Watching the actual game reveals a QB who is enjoying a fair amount of luck and who is being bailed out by his receivers multiple times a game.  I don't think that is sustainable.

 

[US Egg]

Dwindling QB play hurts too many good WR’s.

 

Hill and Waddle make Tua look solid.

 

JA17 makes Diggs studly.

Did you see Tuas post game conference where he taunted the media by saying” how do you like my deep balls” or something to that effect

Yeah, but Hill also has Waddle and Gesicki taking the coverage off him as well.

It’s the end zone that counts, ask Green Bay. Sure his yards will be impressive though and your point of doing with Tua and others is noted, just not as impressive we’re here to score and make the bigger impact.

Possible!  I don't give a crap about records of this type anyway.  

 

They are absolutely meaningless to me.  What matters is that he is good and consistently very productive.

 

How the is reflected in specific statistics is unimportant.

 

Diggs might care! But not me.

 

Win the damned SB!  Stay focused on target!

My six fingered man, I agree.  Even though I live in Tampa, we still get a bunch of Fish games.

 

im not going to bash Tua, but he’s an avg QB.  He’s not even close to the top 10.  
 

I was concerned with the amt. of $ Ross would give Brady in terms of part ownership, but he’s look bad lately.  With an excellent line it’s still conceivable Brady takes the Fish gig next year.  With those two WR’s and Gesecki, he could be decent, but I’ll still take JA17 all day long.

 

Besides, I’d love to see Von and GROOT put Marsha, marsha, Marsha into the dirt four times in each game.

You mean like 4 easy INTS dropped by the Pittsburgh defense. 😂

 

Let's not forget the easy walk in pick 6 Milano dropped.😤

Diggs is definitely the better all around receiver. But not necessarily the better WR overall. Hill's speed just sets him apart from every WR.  What Hill is doing is amazing. People weren't quite sure what he would do without Mahomes. He's proving how great he really is this year.

   Or as I prefer to speculate records will already be set and the current record holder rests up for some records in playoffs. But that's my preference when I try to imagine future facts. You imagine your way I'll stick with my imagination.

My wife made me a shirt, like others probably have seen. It is just a blue long sleeve with white lettering in all caps that says:

With all due respect, Inigo Montoya wanted to kill the six-fingered man. You've just gravely insulted him. Be warned.

this !

I think Hill, Digss and Jefferson are in a completely different planet...they are better than Kupp and Kelce. 

[Mynamemike]

 Biggest upgrade with Dorsey’s offense  compared to Daboll’s is just how much Diggs is being moved around this year.  He’s been lethal from the slot this year more than years past imo. He’s just fun to watch

[Mango]

Hill is having a remarkable season and is a major NFL talent. 
 

Still wouldn’t trade Diggs for Hill straight up. 

 

Hill is too small/not physical enough to care about all that much. Sure when you have Mahomes and Kelce, Hill becomes a nightmare. But as good as Tua has been, he isn’t Allen/Mahomes and Gisecki isn’t Kelce, so letting Hill get his yards doesn’t mean he’s taking over a game. 
 

Also Hill is a dirtbag. 

[Chicken Boo]

I love WR conversations.  There's is no position whose talent pool is deeper than WR.

 

Jefferson, Chase, Diggs, Hill, Adams, Hopkins, Evans, Moore, Metcalf, Kupp, Deebo, Waddle, Lamb, Brown...it's quite ridiculous.

Noggin, I’ve been referencing him in this way for years.  Inconceivable.

 

Trust me, I’ve seen that movie more times than I can count.  My kids used to love it and quite honestly, so did I.

 

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die!

 

As far as Diggs, I’m guessing he gets at least 110 yards today.

Today will be a big test for Diggs vs Gardner.

 

I'm predicting that Diggs has a down game, as Gardner is playing unbelievably and is probably the best CB in the game so far this year. 

 

I worry about his size, in that he can negate some of Diggs quickness, and potentially get to an errant Josh Allen pass or two with his long arms. 

 

But if Diggs can go out today and do what he's been doing all year to everyone else (including Ramsey), I think that will move him into the conversation for a 1st team All Pro year.

He's had his moments for sure but IMO he isn't even the best rookie CB let alone overall CB in the NFL.

 

That distinction goes to 5th round pick Tariq Wooten in Seattle.

I think he's one if the best coverage guys in the NFL already. In single coverage so far in his rookie year, he's allowed 4 catches and no TDs. 

 

It's a matchup to watch today, and could swing the game either way. 

 

The good news for us is that the Jets still suck outside of him, so I don't see us having a problem unless Josh has an off game.

 Depends what seed they get. If they were to have the #1 seed locked up, I would think starters would still play till halftime of week 18. They would already have the bye week and McDermott would have to worry about them coming out in the playoffs rusty from too much time away from live action. Some time off to heal and rest is good, too much can end your season just as quick as an injury(Minus Allen).

 Who has he played that's on Diggs level, Hill? They played the Dolphins when they were playing a 3rd string QB.

Besides the Bengals they've played against some horrible passing teams. Denver, GB, NE, Pitt, Balt and the Browns.

 

Today isn't a big test day for Diggs, but it is for Sauce.

1st play to Diggs he burnt Gardner for 42.

He IS working hard.  Often it will take multiple players to tackle him when he catches ball in middle of field. Just had such a play vs JEST.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Hill had himself a day again. 146 and TD. Truly incredible the season he is having in Miami. It's no wonder we couldn't get over the Kansas City hump the last two years. They had Hill who might be even better than we realized PLUS Kelce.

Those extra 17 yards might have actually made the difference. Not that anyone can blame Diggs; he's our entire receiving corps right now.

Diggs replacement, drafted with pick received from Bills, is on pace to break Randy Moss single season receiving yards.

 

A bit of a side note, but might be interesting to see who outdoes who. Jefferson made Diggs a memory real quick there.

[Warriorspikes51]

He beat Reed on play down left sideline. If Allen threw it earlier or farther it’s a TD instead Diggs had to slow down and Reed was able to make a play

Trade was great for both teams. Diggs has become a top 5 WR, leader and an encourager for Allen when he’s down
