When reflecting last year after the Vikings debacle, I became numb to all the new ways they find to lose. 

 

During this time, I also learned to stop hating or caring about players, especially opposing players (the Brady's, the chiefs, etc) 

Almost every player will have more money then I can even dream of (even the minimum salary of 750K is more then a decades worth of work for me). They win, no matter what happens or there career goes to shambles even if they have a career ending injury, etc. They have the money and can laugh at the little people anytime they want. They win, the only victory a normal person can have is just tune it all out and not waste your energy on people who have won in life with $.

 

They also know that most fans don't give a ***** about them as human beings.  And NFL contracts aren't guaranteed for most players, so if they get hurt they get bupkes -- and this is a sport with a 100% injury rate.  And not for nothing, but the amount of work and dedication it takes to make it for even one second as a professional athlete (let alone become a starter or get a second contract) is beyond most people's comprehension. 

 

So I don't blame them for not giving a ***** about the fans either.  They're not doing it for us.  And here's a dirty secret:  they never were.

 

They do want to win, though.  Most competitive athletes are just like that.  But they want to win for themselves, not for us.

Is this bad technique? Isn't technique taught in JV football? Can't he work on this on the jugs machine? Does he not have a position coach to get him to do it right?

 

I feel like he has heavy feet, too. Watching Diggs run a route is like watching water in motion. So fluid. Davis stomps around on heavy heels like a lineman.

 

Cut his ass.

At the least, it essentially punished the rest of the team for the time he was in the doghouse.  Cook was running wild once put back in the game.

What sucks is Cook could have done some of this last year with a crazy YAC average but McClappy doesn’t like to play Rookies😕

There isn’t too many people that run routes like Diggs. Diggs is a true technician. Impressive to see.

He just has bad hands.

 

He "claps"........keeping his hands moving at the catch point.........because his timing at the catch point is a tick off so he can't cushion the point of the ball into a soft landing like most professional WR's.

 

It's who he is and it's the NFL so surely he knows it's weird that he's gotten that far with high school level hands.

I'm good with cutting Davis now.  

 

I don't want him here next year and would we really be any worse without him?

Amen brother.

 

He can get out right now.

 

I can’t stand that he’s on the field 95% of the time and for what? 2 catches per game? 

 

Beane will try and pump this guy up after signing him in the off-season and talk about how hard of a worker he is.

Beane won't cut him. He needs his compensatory picks 😎

Allen will have like the 10th biggest QB cap hit after a couple more guys sign this off-season. As of now it will be the 7th highest cap hit. Drafting has killed us.

Exactly.  The problem is bad drafting, not Josh's contract.

He’s our best blocking WR which keeps him on the field 95%.  This has value since Knox is out.

Why i'd be relatively content for him to play here as long as he wants.  He avoids big hits, has plus hands, and runs great routes.  When he loses a bit of his speed he'll be a very good slot WR.

He won't speak until the players-only meeting on Wednesday

Which may, or may not be held...

Character used to be important to this team

Time to bring in Kaye Stephenson as Special Assist to the Head Coach, for one of his inspiring "This team played with a lot of character today" speeches.  While the Bills were getting shelled, and couldn't get out of their own way.
