I know, I went into the 1st half game day thread because I wanted to find out why Elam was playing - I missed it that Benford and Spector both hurt on that non-fumble-recovery. I got an answer to my questions but My Lord! What a Monkey-House-Throwing-***** show. I backed out of there quickly, and I still needed a shower.

Lot of clutch conversions too. he was basically tackled for no reason on the shakir TD too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeBreton Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 He is definitely going down to avoid contact (like Tyler Lockett does), which is fine at his age and since he's definitely banged up. BUT, they should avoid throwing him short passes at the line of scrimmage if he's avoiding contact, give those to Shakir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY to VA to NV to TX to AZ Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I mean this is just a bad take on the whole Diggs thing. He is a great receiver, still, right now, at this exact moment!!! He is not, nor should he be, going anywhere. I look at this whole made up drama completely different. Diggs is a professional, 100%, the dude has been quiet the last few weeks as far as production goes and he has been has kept his mouth shut!!!! He is a professional, he does indeed want to win and as long as we are winning he doesn’t really care about his stats. Does he preserve his body, yes sometimes he does as do I and most others. Kind of like live to fight another day. My job is very physical as well and I do self preservation, but it is not nearly as physically traumatizing as being hit full speed by some of these behemoth of men. He’s not going anywhere, he is in good place, he is a hard worker, he is winner, and I don’t care what his petty little brother thinks…look what we did to Dallas and look at where Dallas sits right now, on their couch for the rest of the year. Leave the dude alone, he takes hits, he gives hits, he gets YAC when it’s there, but when it’s not, he doesn’t force it. This keeps him healthy and in the games, when other teams are losing their best, we still have ours because he is very smart and very aware and very, very needed. I don’t think he has missed a start or sat out any games, correct me if I’m wrong, since coming to Buffalo. Every other team has had their best sit at some point or even out for multiple games due to injury. Look at it logically, he is not a machine, he is like anyone of us. I think we tend to forget that sometimes. Bad take sir, just a bad take, sorry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call up Shavers from the Practice Squad and have him go against Sneed? Exactly. We should all have a nice, long discussion about the future of Diggs specifically and the WR corps in general after the season concludes.

So…lay it all on the line, even at the expense of not participating in the rest of the game or any game that follows, really? This is a very small way to look at it. Davis is out already, but hey f*** it, let’s lose our number one receiver as well. Come on this is almost as bad as the original post, almost🙄. Also, Josh is monster of a man, he doesn’t get hit, he hits and by being the one that hits you are preserving your body because you know how you want that collision to go down. Same thing for Diggs, if he is doing the hitting, he is fine. But when one of monsters is going to clean out your legs why risk it.

That's his way of preserving his body to prolong his career and stay healthy. In 2021 Diggs played through a torn oblique to help his club reach the AFC Championship Game. A torn oblique has a way of being easily re-injured. I know this from personal experience. Move the wrong way and extreme pain for a short time then ok. It seemed to me that was his reaction to being tumbled after that tackle. Commentator speculated that he had the wind knocked out of him but oblique pain is intense but short lived as long as you don't twist the wrong way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 hours ago, BuffaloRebound said: He’s definitely in the preservation phase of his career. Fitzpatrick arm tackled him around the waist and Diggs goes down like he took a head shot from ray lewis. I also didn’t care for the gatorade BS on steelers sideline. As long as he gets open and catches the ball, it’s fine. He’s still a good player, but I could do without the antics and pretending to be hurt every time he gets touched. Watch out. People here aren’t fond of the truth. Both teams looked like they wanted to go back inside at times yesterday. The Steelers lost a lot of momentum when they realized the offense was anemic. When they didn’t get points off the turnover there was a big let down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 This is a bit silly for a number of reasons.

Not really sure how looking at the big picture, a Super Bowl run, is smaller than looking at an individual game…that comment makes no sense whatsoever. You act like Diggs doesn’t hit anyone or doesn’t ever get hit or hasn’t gotten hit for the last eight years or so of his professional life. To compare Diggs and Shakir physically or physicality at this point in each of their respective careers is a little ridiculous. That’s like trying to compare Diggs career accomplishments to Shakir’s career accomplishments, obviously Diggs will have much better stats. It’s the same in this case as well, Diggs has been beat up for a lot longer than Shakir, is significantly older than Shakir, and Shakir is just starting his career. Everything you have said is very very small picture, and even small minded. Thinking about the future is not a “…smaller way of looking at it…” lol. And I’m not really sure how it can get smaller than one single 60 minute game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QLBillsFan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 11 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: That’s a shame … Like .. they have a gazillion injuries … and Diggs is your main worry? He intelligently went down to not take unnecessary hits. Did you see the cheap shot by MF when he crushed him late as he was on the ground? no call. Josh has missed him open a few times in past few weeks. Don’t expect much in the KC game as he will be blanketed while the other receivers get open. I’m fine with Diggs production. And he always finds a way to make a key catch when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 "Done" seems to have different meaning for different people. It looks to me as if Diggs can be a productive receiver for at least a few years yet. I think perhaps the question should be, is Diggs done as a #1 receiver who reliably shows big play ability? On that issue, I'm not so sure. Some have said, that without a potent #2 threat, teams are rolling coverage toward Diggs and he's not getting the downfield opportunities because of coverage. I'm not so sophisticated in my football knowledge that recognizing coverage is easy for me. I really have to focus on one aspect at a time, and that takes away the enjoyment of watching the whole. I think Buffalo could really stand to have a potent go to #2 receiver. That would go a long way toward showing us what Diggs has left.

wjag Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 11 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: Last week Josh overthrew Diggs on an 89 yard td. Today he underthrew him on a 35 yard td. Diggs is banged up but still getting open. Josh is just a little out of sync with him. On yesterday’s miss at the goal line where Rowe got a finger on it, Diggs signaled back to Josh that he missed it by an inch. An inch and that would have been a beautiful TD pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 No he's not done, but it seems like Brady is scheming up alot of short passes.

I'd agree with that but ya never know, he has that alpha dog mentality. Youngest player with 800 receptions, think he has at least 3 1000 yard seasons ahead of him , especially if we can get a legit 1b WR to pair with him, Shakir, Harty,Kincaid etc. Would love a Pittman in FA or a high ceiling guy in the draft But he at least has another WR1 season on a SB contender under his belt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs should be allowed to play out his contract here and finish his career as a Bill. If we draft a WR in the 1st, we get that guy and Diggs, 2 #1WR for the price of 1. And then when Diggs' contract runs out, we got the new guy on his 5th year option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
