Rich Stadium Original Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 A lot was made during the broadcast about the amount of third down snaps where Diggs was on the sidelines...haven't seen a dedicated thread about it yet. Has anybody verified his snap count?..particularly on third down? I have not heard the question come up in an interview since. A little dinged up?..he was banged up a little on one of Allen's touchdowns..slow to get up. A lot has been made of the miscommunication between Davis and Allen on the last third down..but just a few plays prior there was a quick wide receiver screen to either Sherfield or Davis to the left, and they both ran downfield blocking..was Diggs on the opposite side? It should be remembered their third down conversion rate wasn't bad, particularly on 3rd down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WacArnolds Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Not the exact response you were looking for, but if I remember correctly Diggs motioned to come off for at least a couple of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The Philly game was Diggs highest snap count of the year. Not as a %, but as a total. The odd part was the timing of when he came out. Third downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I believe someone said he was in there for 87 of the 95 offensive snaps. Something like that. The broadcast just pointed it out every single time, so it seemed like more than it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I think they wanted a blocking WR. Gabe Davis was blocking more than normal. So that is the only exclamation I have for the 3rd downs...but it did cost them. Cant recall if they were 3rd downs but there was the play Sherfield didnt get the memo for the pass optionn on the screen and another to Sherfield that should have been Diggs.

As an above poster mentioned, he signaled to come off. Him coming off on those third downs didn't affect us negatively IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 This is Broadcast Bias and a non-story. He played 92% of the offensive snaps. The one time I noticed him out was right after he made a catch in which his route took him across the field and he ran about 60 yards in order to gain 12, at a sprint, with a CB hanging off him. He can take a breather whenever he wants to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Joe Marino in his All-22 gives snap counts on Locked on Bills. Diggs missed less than 10 snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I was wondering if it was a blocking thing for run/ screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defender hit him with a cheap shot in the back when he was away from the play. Lit him up pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Only Diggs takes Diggs out of the game. This is a non-story. If anything, Diggs plays too many snaps and could use the week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to come off the field, should the coaches make him stay on the field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note - i feel like he's been the victim of several blatantly non-called PI penalties this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
