frostbitmic Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 He has 993 yards with 4 games to go, obviously he's done ... Trade him for a Holiday Log and a bowl of Egg Nog, then eat a main course of dead cap for a couple of years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: I realize that Diggs did literally say "It's not (because of) me." But when listening to the press conference and gathering the full context of what he was talking about, to me it sounded like what he meant was "My lack of production in recent games is not for lack of effort on my part - it's because defenses are doing a good job". "(Opposing defenses) have been doing a good job. For me personally, I've been trying, bro. I promise you, I've been trying. It's not because of me, you know what I'm saying? Teams are doing a good job. We've just got to continue to make plays and I guess spread the ball around. We've been winning so far. You know, in a perfect world I want the ball. I want to have success. But at the end of the day, if we're winning games that's what I got to tip my hat to. But I'm still chasing greatness each and every day. It's not because I don't want it. I promise you that. I want to still continue to play at a high level. But I've got to play within the scheme and 'be me with us'. We've got a slogan - or some words to live by, 'Be you with us'. I'm going to still be me. I'm not going to stop. But hopefully we get some things rolling." If you focus solely on the statement "It's not because of me" by itself and ignore the rest of everything he says around those five words, you would think that he's putting blame elsewhere and not holding himself accountable. But again, if you listen to the full conversation that he's having with the media and have a better understanding of the context around "It's not because of me" you realize that he's talking about his effort and dedication and giving credit to opposing defenses. That's it. I like Tim Graham but what he did was total BS. Listened to the full interview on the radio friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with No Name Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 i thought diggs came off well in the interview. his demeanor looked sincere, and sounded like a humble and good teammate. it's a wonder these guys ever give any kind of honest answer at all with some of the responses out there from people. and of course the media makes of the worst of them.

TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Diggs again with a bad game. After the 1st half he has a drop and a fumble that luckily Dallas didn't challenge . That was also the same play that allen got sacked because they rushed to snap the ball before Dallas could challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some need to find something else to be critical about. This isn’t it. He had his worse three game stretch in a Bills uniform and he was about to make it four game stretch until a nice grab late. Which capped off a 48 yard performance with another key first down drop. Yet you came running over to this thread to do what exactly? If this was the late 80's and he didn't accomplish 90% of that thousand yards the first 5 weeks I would be more impressed. Let me know when it's ok to be concerned.

RiotAct Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I’ll take a sub-30 yard performance by Diggs every game if it means a win like this. Thought this game would be decided by a Fg either way… shows how much I know. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubanmist 1 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Has it ever occurred to anybody that this is all scheme driven? Diggs production may be low, but other areas/ players have awakened. Week by week schemes will be different depending on the opponent. That’s the beauty of having an OC like Brady. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 He definitely hasn't been up to his standards, he made a hell of a one hand grab but that was it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Shelf the Diggs decline talk. If any discussion is to be had, it should be surrounding why the Bills aren’t able to regularly push the ball down the field in the intermediate/deep range. Lots of layers to this. Diggs is a factor, but him as an issue is not one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had several key drops on 3rd downs over the past few weeks including one today. That isn't scheme related. I don't know what has happened to his hands but I hope he gets back to the relatively low drop rate player that he was before November of this year. That one handed catch was amazing, though. Easily the catch of the year for the Bills. Hopefully it gives him some momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Theory. I think he's hurt. Wrist. Hand. Something. He's dropped more passes in last 4 weeks than his first 3.5 years. He's also put the ball on the ground a couple times. 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: He's had several key drops on 3rd downs over the past few weeks including one today. That isn't scheme related.

Even the early catch today he caught with body rather than his normal ***** out of the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
