Diggs throwing his helmet and asking for the ball more

[Trock]

He knows this year is the year and doesn’t want our pee wee oc to ruin it.

It's called being a COMPETITOR! Not a diva.

 

I don't want guys that don't want the ball & don't care. 

 

He's not out putting Dorsey, McD, Allen or any teammates on blast after games. He wants the ball & wants to win. I'm screaming about those things right along with him during games, guess that makes me a couch diva. 

[L Ron Burgundy]

He's frustrated because he knows what this offense should be.   A juggernaut that only punts when we're up 30.  What he failed to realize we're Gabe and McKenzie are incredibly inconsistent.   Oh throw Knox up there too.

What is he wearing? That's very divaish 

[Draconator]

I think Einstein is being a Diva by starting posts that he knows will put all the attention directly on him. 

[Wagner]

NO.. Stupid thread. 

[wppete]

All top receivers have some Diva in them.

there is some truth to that but Dorsey is doing zero to help diggs and he's starting to become a decoy.  

 

 Which is weird because early in the year Dorsey was being complimented for finding different ways to get him open. Around the Pittsburgh game iirc.

 

Last 3 games he's averaged 7.7 targets, about 2.5 targets below his average. But if you go the last 5 it increases to 8.7 and the last 6 increases to 9.9 which is about .3 under his season average. 

 

 

[What a Tuel]

Nope. He just wants to win. No need to dramatize wanting to win.

- OP, Probably 

 

I didn’t complain about anything. In fact I specifically stated that I didn’t see either moments people are mentioning and asked if there was anything to this or if it’s nonsense. At least read the post before you make a wise crack about it.

Exactly. Sometimes this goes with the elite WR who wants the ball territory. It is what it is.

I heard a rumor that Allen and Davis didn’t invite Diggs to the Syracuse game.  But Diggs found out and drove to Allen’s house before they all left.

 In Knox's defense Dorsey has kept him in to help block a bunch this year because our OL sucks so bad. And he has had some drops, but he does have the highest catch rate of the guys who normally play at 74.7%.

Yeah, I mean last season we averaged a whopping .9 points more a game than this season.

 

.9

 

As in not even 1.

 

And that is with playing the toughest schedule in the NFL this season when last year we played almost the weakest schedule.

 

But, never mind me, carry on.

Cry baby's. A WR wants the ball. So here we go with the pitchforks running out of town one of the best athletes we've had on this team. We are so offended by everything these days. Eff

[Saint Doug]

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. He should get the ball. 

[without a drought]

Josh is kind of a diva for not letting Keenum play. He won't even blow out teams so he can maybe get a little mop up duty.

 

Running the ball, throwing TD passes, he really won't let anyone else get involved. It's all about Josh, all the time.

 

I'm not saying it's a problem, but the facts are right in front of you, even choose to ignore them.

the dude is irritated that we sputter in games and he knows he is the best option for Josh.  

 

Isn’t it Josh’s job as the QB to read the defense and decide which route is the best option given how the defense reacts after the snap

I agree, get him the ball.  Design plays, rub routes, fades (where have they gone, back shoulder throws as well) to get him the ball.

 

 

You seem to be making an assumption that we don’t have play designs where Diggs is open, and that lack of play designs to get Diggs the ball is the reason he’s only getting 9-10 targets per game.

 

If you like to wander over to another thread, you can find play breakdowns where (for example) Diggs was arguably open and the best option.  Josh chose to hold the ball and manipulate the DB to close up on Diggs, and threw over his head to McKenzie deep.

 

 

 

[Sestak4ever]

I am so appreciative that he is a Bill and would not have him act any other way. A true winner and great teammate.

[BurpleBull]

Laura Ochman sounds like the same chick responsible for Ariza not being on the roster.

[BringBackFergy]

That’s why even considering OBJ is a bad move. I love Diggs, but afraid Diggs and OBJ in the same room would be wayyyy too much to handle.

You might be the most dramatic one in the whole thread. Just something to reflect on.

You could be right.  But I am theorizing based off what I see and the difference between last year and this year.

 

But cool...

I would guess that later in the year it becomes the easier it is for other teams to start to figure out what the bills are doing on offense.  I suppose it could be a possibility that between Josh's elbow and the weird schedule and bad weather that has made practicing for new plays hard, meaning things have been kept more vanilla.  I also wonder if first two or three games of the year werent just running off scripted plays from last year

I love confidence in a receiver and I understand his frustration as he’s been way under used these past few games.

You're probably right haha. Not calling anyone in here a cry baby as much as people calling in the radio show for days about this. It was more than today. It'd be cool just to enjoy a competitive player.

Has he, say, ripped off his shirt midgame and then called a cab?  No?

[Charles Romes]

I personally love the shift from the Diggs centered O during this 5 game winning streak.  If Josh was not so locked on Diggs we win and the Jets and v Minnesota. Now other threats are being developed for the final run. 

[Utah John]

I was predicting a Milano snub early in the season.  He doesn't get a lot of INTs or sacks which is what voters look at for LB recognition.  It's a real shame since he's played so well.

 One thing I did notice from looking at the game logs is in many of the games that are really tight and go right down to the end, he usually gets really high targets. Vikings, Lions & Chiegs come mind. His targets are usually about 50% higher than average(about 15).

 

  On whether things have been kept vanilla or not, I would say 99.9% of our offense this year has been vanilla. Not many jet sweeps and literally no misdirection or trick plays. I like when Daboll would call a double reverse WR pass or the HB pass every once in a while and they almost always worked. Anyways back to the vanilla offense Josh and maybe Beane? stated that there were concepts they couldn't run because of the lack of experience at the slot position. We haven't been throwing deep lately and I'm wondering if that's because of Josh's elbow. Though the Miami was the first game that I thought maybe his arm is getting back to "normal".
