I think we can all agree that the middle of the OLINE has been struggling of late. Greg thinks that Allen leaves the pocket too soon and Diggs double moves take more time to set up. So Allen is in scramble drill which is killing the Diggs routes. Now why Diggs is coming out, I strongly suspect they need him for the playoffs and like all players, he is nursing aches and pains. But to be fair it takes 25 seconds for Gabe to get open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3 minutes ago, vtnatefootball11 said: Then why are the Bills reporting Allen's shoulder? Why did the report Diggs back a few weeks back? Because he missed some practice time this week to work with the trainers/get some treatment. The same reason they reported Diggs injury a few weeks back, but then stopped. Because he isnt missing any official time. You are literally answering your own questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtnatefootball11 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 2 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: Ok, fair enough, you're just asking questions. Here are your answers: He isnt being schemed out. As a matter of fact the Bills are finding new ways to force the ball to him even if it means lining him up at RB. He isnt being taken out by coaches. He comes out on his own for breathers, and even more so now that he is nursing a lingering back/ribs injury from being illegally suplexed two weeks in a row. There is no conspiracy there because such injuries are common and not required to be reported if he isnt missing any time. Stef doesnt have the words "minimal effort" in his vocabulary. Please dont ever insult the best competitor we have on our team like that ever again. Go Bills. I agree with you on the Go Bills. I wasn't putting those words in his mouth, that was off the cuff explanation, not his words, which I said was one of hundreds of possible explanations, cut your BS. Nobody is a bigger fan of Stef than me. You're the one suggesting he is tapping out every single play that he's off, which I'm telling you is wrong, I don't buy he would ever do that on crucial third downs. He is being schemed out for some reason on certain downs. Coaches have confirmed this. It doesn't make sense to make, that's why I'm asking about it trying to find answers. Even if he's hurt, keep him on as a decoy and draw two defenders in coverage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Diggs is a magnate for conspiracy theories. Josh/McD are trying to send Diggs a message that they can win without him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is up between Josh/Bills and Stef man, if you foolishly want to believe everything is great, go right ahead. I hope I'm completely wrong by the way, and it's purely an injury thing, but we won't know until the offseason. If Bills win it all, it would fix whatever is going on anyway. Let's hope that happens and this is a non-story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 He's definitely hurt and trying to play through it like Josh. Also since Joe took over, the offensive structure has changed. If there ever was a game (opponent) to get him back on track, it's Miami. We'll see if Ramsey covers him man or there's a double team coming? I'm not getting sucked into any attitude/ conspiracy theories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 if he is hurt, they would ideally rest him and let him heal. He's done nearly nothing the past few games, but then again they can't rest him, because every game has been a must-win since the early season McD hole that was dug. And we have no WR#2 (thanks, Bean). 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Diggs is obviously hurt and NFL teams obviously underreport injuries both for competitive reasons and for their players' own safety. End of story. Just now, RyanC883 said: if he is hurt, they would ideally rest him and let him heal. He's done nearly nothing the past few games, but then again they can't rest him, because every game has been a must-win since the early season McD hole that was dug. And we have no WR#2 (thanks, Bean). In the last two games, he has beaten defenders deep three times for what should have been house calls and Allen has missed him every time (two underthrows and one overthrow). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 1 hour ago, Not at the table Karlos said: Shouldn’t this go under talking head says something stupid or whatever that thread was called. Fair point, but I think it's still a valid topic for discussion despite McCourty's foolishness. Although if the OP continues to use the thread as a vehicle for McCourty's nonsense conspiracy theory, your suggestion will be adopted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 He's definitely hurt. I believe it was the Cowboys game where he dropped that screen pass on the first play and just laid there for awhile. It was odd. That being said, he looked like the old Stef last week. I fully expect him to give us one more run at it and if they don't win, he's gonna be gone this offseason.

YattaOkasan Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) So Mccourty has two examples of him not being out there on 3rd down and one of them diggs does a fair amount of work in the scramble drill. The other i dont have context cause all he says he ran an over and came out. This is silly to say hes being schemed out based on two examples. give me more than just twice.

I don't get this one. Allen has had worse offensive lines than this one and Diggs and can play every WR position. He can easily be moved around. I don't know what it is going on, but it is a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
