nedboy7 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If a player on the this team has the belief that "this team wont reach a SB" they can ***** leave immediately. Will be even sweeter now when we do win it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Let's be real, Josh knows he threw that game away. And Diggs (or anyone) saying something critical probably would've struck a nerve. I doubt it had anything to do with Josh disliking Diggs, but rather a moment where he was already hard on himself & not in the mood to deal with anything extra. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 They are both competitors Josh had a bad game threw a couple of picks to help them win with a less than average QB and Allen was probably rightfully pissed off in that they lost . I don't believe that Diggs was that upset with the Bills i feel it was more about his age, his drop off in production last season, his catch rate in the play offs, and more than likely Brady may have had some input in just getting a player he really likes in the draft that he could build on & with in the offense going forward . The Pats use to do this kind of stuff all the time get rid of a really good player a year early rather than a year to late plus opening up the cap next year sets this team up even better moving forward . I would almost bet that if Von doesn't come back to form next season he's gone too . I have all the faith in Beane he's the man & there are a lot of GM's in the league watching & learning from his every move with the Bills being one of the team sto beat year after year .

True but getting rid of the rest of some what 3 years of Diggs contract is a definitely plus . Beane is up to something he's not going to go through all of this just because the man has been near genius to this point in building a team for today, tomorrow & the future so i'm going to sit back & enjoy the ride . The only thing that really tweaks me off is i just bought a Diggs jersey last season 😒 any takers ??? Edited April 8 by T master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had ever seen him show a shred of accountability I would buy that. Instead he turns around after a possible game losing drop against the Chiefs making a "this close" gesture and nonchalantly jogging back to the huddle. There's really no excusing his behavior. Two separate teams now, ended the same way both times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes on given the locker room issues, it was better to rip off the bandaid earlier than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 2 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: Well it's Josh's team now and there is NO ONE left that would dare call him out, even if/when he is playing like crap and possibly not as dedicated to his craft as he needs to be. So we'll see. Interesting enough, Diggs has never actually been WRONG about any of his many complaints over the years. Zimmer and the Vikes' run-first offense. McD's coaching in 13 seconds Players quitting throughout the 2022 season. Josh checked out and befuddled in the Cincy game. Dorsey on the wrong track to start 2023. Sorry Josh didnt want to hear that his dumb decisions and 3 ints cost us an easy Jets win. At the same time Josh never threw Diggs under the bus for playing like crap in the playoffs (when generally Josh plays great in the playoffs) and more specifically for dropping an absolute dime that would have gone for like 60 yards against the Chiefs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them have ever publicly called the other out. But that's not to say Josh has never hit Diggs with a comment/criticism/suggestion face to face. The story here (well, there is no real story), isnt what Diggs said. It's that Josh reacted. But who can blame him? He knows he played a bad game. He just didnt want to hear what Diggs was saying at the time. Whatever it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I mean honestly, so what? Did you ever snap at someone at work over something? Did that lead you to hating the other person for the rest of the time you worked there? Most likely not...you probably apologized and then by the next week it was forgotten and you were back to being fine with them. People really are trying way too hard with this... And this also shows me who has never played sports in their life. Tim Graham for sure...because if you have played sports even in the youth levels and haven't snapped at someone in the heat of the moment, you would be on a very short list. But someone who never played team sports as a kid wouldn't know this and would think this could be some huge thing... All it does is show he is clueless. 2 hours ago, Aussie Joe said: Incidents like this.. players snapping at each other in the locker room after a tough unexpected loss … would happen quite regularly in team sports… Im not saying there weren’t issues with Diggs and Allen .. but this particular story is a nothing burger in my opinion .. Exactly...even playing sports growing up this happened regularly in the heat of the moment...it's obvious Graham never played team sports or was someone who sat on the sideline the whole gam and never really played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Anyone else wildly relieved that Diggs is gone? Loved what he did for us, but he was & is the diva Vikings fans were talking about when we traded for him. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average worker who has to go back to that same job everyday after snapping at someone and a youth level athlete snapping at someone is the same as a multi-millionaire that can have a fit and sit at home and still get paid those millions of dollars while forcing their way out of the contract they agreed to because they didn't like someone snapping back at them. Exact same thing. Edited April 8 by The Wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but you know what I was getting at. Players commit to one thing one day and change their minds the next day because "I'm no longer the focus". Obviously it happens more with WRs for some reason, could be they are divas or just think they are more important than the team. But once the front office knows it's more than they want to deal with, it becomes an organizational problem and not a personal problem.

Gugny Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I’ll preface by saying this is a big nothing burger. However … I do often wonder if Josh really is the angel everyone (including me) makes him out to be. There is a chance that he’s a total dick. There’s also a chance that some of his teammates take exception to the fact that he’s got no one competing for his job and - perhaps - could be taking advantage of that … by not studying film/being lazy (as has been reported). It also seems likely that Josh’s personal life issues were all brought on by no one but himself. It is plausible that the diva, here, is Josh Allen and that Diggs called him out on it. Diggs was a postseason no-show. That is a fact. But I don’t think anyone on the roster wanted to win more than he did and laziness, outside influences and an overly-casual attitude were definitely things he was ever guilty of. Just my thoughts. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Josh is human, and makes errors and mistakes like every human does. But, for the Bills, he also openly takes responsibility which is more than Diggs did. Even for things which he isn't necessarily at fault for. Edited April 8 by UKBillFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I really wish the media would do their jobs and stop rehashing the Diggs drama. It’s over and done with. They need to focus on what really happened with Brittany. I need to know the scoop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
