TheFunPolice Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I love the intensity Diggs shows on the field. Some interpret it as he's unhappy but I just see a stone cold assassin at WR who is just a very intense guy 1 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 15 minutes ago, Man with No Name said: interesting he would actually say it, but my guess is that they probably just don't have as much in common with each other as they do with some of the other guys on the team. 1 hour ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: If I'm not mistaken, Diggs actually said in his presser yesterday that their relationship is less personal now. He said the relationship has evolved after 4 years and that everybody is happy when things are successful, but you get closer when things aren't going right. It's not so much personal at this point, but let's get to it and do everything we can to win. You grow as a family not just through the good times, but the hard times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Diggs' numbers have been among the best in the league and the Bills have been in heavy contention every year. Yes, they haven't won the Super Bowl yet, but I don't see how "completely wasted" makes any sense at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was never even a pro bowler before he came to Buffalo, now he’s widely considered a top 5 WR in the league…how exactly did they waste his prime?

That's pathetic. You say "prime Diggs" as if he's Randy Moss or something. He's a very good, top 10 WR in the league, playing with the best QB in the league. But he's not a prototype, physical freak #1. He's Stevie Johnson on steroids, which is an awesome player, but far from guaranteeing Super Bowls like you're making it sound. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Diggs is a prima Donna but thankfully 90% of it shows during the off season. I would honestly be shocked if he pulled the AJ Brown crap during the season. Diggs wants to win and believes in his heart that he is the guy to get us there, so I want him around. His emotional cost is well worth his production IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely wasted may be dramatic phrasing but also as a guy that left Minnesota to try to get a ring…. He’s still on a team that hasn’t been at the top. he’s not looking for a top ten season from his team. It’s a window where the expectation is to play a game or two in February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 been watching Diggs very closely all season mainly due to all the noise from last offseason. ive seen nothing that points to Diggs and Josh having a problem. what i do see however is a player who may have an injury thats affecting him, allows him to play, but in pain. hes still a captain, and hes still acting like one everytime the camera pans to him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a window where the expectation is to play a game or two in February All competitors want that but I just think "wasted" is melodramatic as you point out. It's kind of depressing if you think of every NFL career that ends without a SB ring (and in this case, he's got multiple good years left) as wasted, because that would describe a pretty large majority of careers, even amongst the subset of players who were at one point top 5 at their positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2 hours ago, SageAgainstTheMachine said: Yes he was. But his best season in Minnesota was worse than his worst season here. The notion that we’ve wasted his prime is insane. Just to point out a couple things too. Odell Beckham Jr was traded from the NYG to Cleveland, after he returned from injury in 2018 to a continued decrease in R/G and Y/G from his first couple years. Sounded great - Cleveland had the #1 draft pick of 2018 in Baker Mayfield and he was widely lauded as looking promising his rookie year. Instead Beckham had a new career low in R/G and Y/G dropping from 88 to 65, then the wheels fell off in 2020 with an ACL injury and a 2021 social media furor that led to his release. He had a stroke of luck in being picked up by the Rams just in time for a SB victory, but the point is - demanding and receiving a trade from NYG to CLE did not work out in his career favor overall. Davonte Adams went from an MVP Rodgers season in GB which had him as one of the top 2-3 WR in the league, a Star - to Las Vegas where he is still a top WR in the league, but like one of a dozen or so and now with questions on the team at coach and at QB. The point is, a trade doesn't necessarily work out in a player's favor, and can work out a lot worse than being the favorite target of one of the league's top QB on a regularly contending team, even if the exit is earlier than we think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 I was beat up for this post and ended up regretting it. Yet things are now coming out. For example, Tim Graham's story about the end of the Jets game. Josh is sitting in the locker room feeling dejected. Dion Dawkins, being the awesome dude that he is, tells Josh, "17 for life. I mean that." Seveal other players come by to console Josh. But Diggs says something that Graham can't hear but apparently it's not something positive. Allen lashed out, "It's one f***ing game!" Kyle Brandt, who may or may not have inside information, recently said Diggs's relationships with the Bills and Allen were "mercurial at best." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
