Diggs vs. Josh: Sideline Disagreement?


Nextmanup

Recommended Posts

Well now that I've actually seen this incident, it does look like Josh is ignoring Diggs, b/c the coach sitting next to him heard him clearly enough to look up at him twice, and Josh seems to have chosen to just ignore him.

 

Maybe he's thinking "Oh this is just Stephon being Stephon, he'll calm down in a bit."


These things happen between teammates from time to time in all sports.

 

I wouldn't put much into this.  It is kind of interesting though; I missed it the whole thing live!  Too much typing in the game thread!

I doubt Diggs stays. He wants to win and he’s not putting up with this crap anymore. 

Well his regular season numbers have been fantastic with the Bills!  Has he publicly stated that he's all about a ring at this point or something like that?  He should be here next year.


The thing is, we need a Diggs #2; it's our biggest need IMO; I've been saying that all year.

 

And then we need to completely re-vamp the OL.

If Diggs is pissed and want to go home let him.  This loss is going to be hard on the entire team.

The last thing they need is players and coaches worrying about how others are feeling.

 

The postmortem of this season is going to take a long time and needs a deep self-analysis.

The big deal is him booking it out of the building 3 minutes later. 

Yes he grabbed his clothes and tried to leave before the rest of the team and coaches even got to the locker room. Duke Johnson had to basically drag him back in and then he left a few min later anyhow. That's pretty bad for a captain

No argument there but the league has changed. Players are not willing to wait around. He wants a ring… NOW

I don’t really understand the logic. He’s so competitive and focused that he’s got to bail on his team? It’s weird.

Recalling the 90-93 Bills and remembering how they could morph into a power running team and run over teams at home in the playoffs. That took a quality OL, coaching, and RBs to execute those plays. Clearly the Bills are missing some of those elements.

He’s signed up for rest of his career.

I don’t care about the sideline frustration. That’s gonna happen. But this ^^^ pisses me off.

 

Youre gonna hightail it out of the stadium instead of being with your teammates? That’s BS.

Diggs is known to be feisty and he has that WR prima donna thing in him.

 

He's mad that we played like crap and our season ended in this way.

 

I agree this is not the right way to behave, but it just means he really gives a darn, which I LOVE.

Which shows you what an utter mess that locker room actually is. I blame the head coach. It was over when Hamlin went down. I said it then, and I stand by it.

They’ll get over it.  It’s not like Josh was intentionally ignoring Stefon.  I don’t think he had enough time to even think and throw effectively with his offensive line and the plays called.

 

And when he did he was hesitant, like he didn't trust what he saw. Probably too worried about throwing a pick. Bad combo today: Weather, good defensive calls, s##ty blocking.

I posted in the GDT that this was not a good look.  I had a "Who cares" comment which got some agrees.  This is not good news going forward.  Diggs should have taken JA aside, but instead he chose to show him up in front of a full house at Highmark and on national TV.  Unproductive at best and can only serve to create hard feelings and rip apart the locker room at worst.

Probably because Josh wasn’t throwing his best wr the ball, and when he did it was off target? 

I heard from a reputable source Diggs was screaming at JA for not throwing him catchable balls and looking his way enough and he actually threatened Allen and Allen did not take the bait and ignored him pissing Diggs off even more. This happens in the heat of the moment and has already been forgotten and I’m sure Allen apologized to him

I don’t blame Diggs

He needs the ball and not just in deep shots. 

But if you looks at diggs practice routine he doesn’t practice often

Not sure if that’s been a trend his entire time here but their chemistry was off a little 

Never consistently involved in the game

Yes. Josh is the team leader and he did NOT play very well and Diggs is an emotional guy and knowing Josh he likely took the “mea Culpa” to calm Diggs down. Diggs let’s face it is a diva and a “me” person. We could win the SB but if Diggs didn’t get his looks he would be pissed and not celebrate. That’s just Stephon.

Josh did not play well because for the most part he had no time. Maybe Diggs should have been yelling at the O Line.

i saw him after another ball that was low inside he had to slide to catch afterward motioning to him to throw it up higher.

Beane has to answer for this. The buck stops with him. Status quo won't fly going forward.

Are you kidding? Diggs shows classic signs of manic/depressive.

Maybe Diggs would like to take a crack at LT.  Everyone is frustrated.  Sean failed this team years ago by putting his own selfish defensive needs (failed DE's) over the good of protecting your #1 asset.

And how many DEs/DTs do you take while expending only two Day 1/2 picks on OL-men.  Ford and Brown.  Both swings and misses.
