Trade Diggs for assets and go to a more controlled ground game.

See if you can somehow work Ertz into the equation, will ya'?  Maybe send Arizona a few new video games for Kyler's gaming system.

 

Also, move Tre to Safety and fill his CB role with the embarrassment of riches we have sitting on the bench.

 

My hunch....things about to get real mediocre in Bustalo

Can’t see them trading their only 1 legit weapon on offense. Unless you have his replacement lined up you have to stick with him. Diggs is an emotional player and I think this little outburst will be forgotten in no time. I don’t have any concerns with Allen and Diggs moving past this.

He also bolted from the locker room.  I love Diggs and the fire he brings but that's a bit much

I could be reading spotrac incorrectly, but it looks like we would trigger 45mm in dead cap by trading Diggs. 

 

He is 100% untradeable for that reason alone. 

 

Diggs is the same diva he's been all 8 years in the league. We just have to deal with it 

 

PS - he's worth the headache 

 

 

 

I think the 45M is if they cut him.  Click the red x on the right.  Pre 6/1 trade is 37M  and post 6/1 trade is 11.8M dead cap.  Post 6/1 is possible but cannot see it happening.

As if Diggs had been anything else but a proven star for all the time he's been here. And him and Josh work great together. Yeah a few average games (mostly because of schemes than his own play) and he should be out? P.S. Keep your current job. 

We heard this exact same thing last year.

 

Diggs didn't do anything in last year's playoff game against the Chiefs, so we should get rid of him. :doh:

 

Stupidity is frightening.

Can’t have the internal turmoil so either trade Josh, and that’s not going to happen or get rid of Diggs. Shed his contract, get a return in assets, draft pick(s) and/or player(s) and rebuild this offense that is more balanced. Now I don’t fault Diggs for being frustrated but this offense is lopsided and needs to be more reasonable. 
 

Earlier in another post I clamored for Texas RB Bijan Robinson and while that may not happen my point is still the same. Provide better playmakers than the ones we have and get some of this pressure off of Josh, it’s too much and teams should not be this reliant on one player. 
 

I don’t think it would be that difficult to fix this OL. While better players are needed I believe that they can be obtainable. Kansas City replaced their whole OL in one year and they are doing fine. Make Kromer earn his paycheck with a formidable run game. 
 

It looks like there is some significant changes in store for the coaching staff and the roster but have it make sense with a logical strategy and personnel. Tone down this chaotic pass happy offense and get some balance to it.

 

To me some obvious departures would be Frazier, possibly Dorsey, Singletary, Davis and a couple/few OL. I don’t expect Poyer to be back either, we need better speed in the secondary. 
 

It’s going to be quite the off season, Beane is going to have his hands full but it’s sorely needed because today was a total embarrassment.

How do morons not hear themselves when they say things?

 That's a BRILLIANT idea, getting rid of your second best player on the team. You should become a GM. 🙄

Allen has a defector and it's all his own fault for playing like clueless Josh.

Josh didn't cost the Bills this game. The coaches and the DLine did. I wasn't on board the "fire OC/DC" crowd till yesterday. Now I want them out. Usually, my take is don't get rid of anyone until you find replacements (or enough are available). But this was awful. Losing trust in the coaches is a big no no.

 

If Josh or DIggs have a bad game, or Milano and Miller, hey, they've proven their worth time and time again. When did Dorsey mesmerize with his schemes besides the first few early games? It's almost frustrating seeing the 4-5 easy plays scheming gets the Bengals, Chiefs, 49ers, Rams, etc. while it's seemingly a vanilla offense for the Bills that Josh makes work somehow. 

 

The defense has had some games where the scheming worked but how can they never seem to adjust? We all expected the Bills DLine to take advantage of a banged up, already farirly weak Bengals OLine. So no one can fault the initial gameplan. But since the DLine were pushed around like juniors, change it! 

 

As for Diggs, I supported all his previous outbursts as it was dumb to not throw to him. He has proven his worth. But yesterday, his timing was awful. A complete meltdown by everyone and he added to it. That game will leave huge scars.

GTFO of here with this nonsense. Diggs is the one player on the team who showed heart yesterday. He didn't hang his head and was still trying to win the game in the second half in spite of how bad things were going. Not only is he a top 5 NFL WR, he's one of the few true winners on the squad. We need him and we have to hope the rest of the team stops feeling sorry for themselves when things don't go well like he does. Sack the F up and play ball like a professional, like Stefon Diggs.

And only $37.6M in dead cap…….plus the cost of his replacement.  

 

 

 

Details, shmetails.

 

The important thing is to have huge reaction quickly.

Please, the coaches and the DLine didn't cost the Bills this game.

 

Everyone did. Allen did. And the rest of the offense. And the defense. And the special teams. And the coaches. Everyone. Certainly the coaches and the DL had their part, but so did everyone else, every single person.

 

Sparing the offense that scored ten points? Ridiculous. 

 

Only guy that came out of that mess looking good was DaQuan Jones, as we found out what life looks like without him.

You know what?  I bet Josh and Diggs are already over it.  I suggest you try to do the same.

 

Calling to break up one of the best QB-WR tandems in football isn't it.
