Now we’re getting some where. Was it sisters? Wait, no, better yet….twins?

I’m pretty sure one of them had a penis.

Imagine if Diggs was still here when his 5 kids with 5 different women all popped out this upcoming year. No thanks! Too much noise and money for a 32yr old receiver. 

We are a football team not a boy scout troop 

 

If we win football games like we should because this is a business... All that noise doesn't matter.

 

Look at the Patriots during their dynasty... There wasn't much noise about the nonsense going on there besides Hernandez. Brady having an affair, Gronk and the team doing party boats was barely a blip, Edelman trolling tinder for ass, Belichick having an affair with a friends wife, ....

 

In KC the same is true except for the Andy Reid son which really barely made a blip on a relative scale.

 

Winning quiets the noise. Diggs here + winning = 2 things:

1) no one caring about the whining and bull####.

2) feeds less drama because winners win

 

This reminds me of a leadership course I had btw. The hardest people to manage some times are the top performers. They expect a threshold of quality above mediocrity. They become discontent when underperforming team members drag the group down. When management fails to address the issues and improve the deficits the high performers will become malcontent.

 

In sales especially these folks will betray you. And when the top 70-80% sales fall upon your top 10-15% in most cases at most companies this is dangerous.

 

To manage the talent of the skill in the NFL it takes a lot of skill and talent.

The ESPN article posted earlier tells it all. The level that teams have to go to, to keep is arrogant a$$ happy is stupid. He'll turn on the patriots eventually. Can't wait for that to happen.

Hopefully it happens before the Pats win another Super Bowl.

It all started when he banged two chicks on Valentine’s Day. 

Wasn't it the night before a playoff game ?

 

Two women, same hotel, different rooms...Just rumors ?

[Strethor]

He's a liability, if your going to be the character that he is you have to come up in bigtime moments. He missed every big time moment  playoff catch he could have cemented himself but he wasnt that guy [but always vs the Bills yk it comes out of nowhere]

[US Egg]

Okay, here’s what I remember most about Diggs:

that seems like the next step.  Pats start losing and Diggs starts losing it again.

What did we get from the trade??

 

31mm in dead cap in 2024 and Houston traded us Minnesota's 2025 2nd round pick. That ended up being 56th overall pick - which we packaged as part of the deal to move up for TJ Sanders

He had some kind of issue with the team, whether McDermott or Allen, who knows. But you don't trade a guy and take on a 35 million dollar cap hit for schematic differences. There's more to the story that I'm not sure we'll ever know 

I think we are to the point where we know the husband cheated and who with and loosely how many times…. I’m not sure there’s a ton more to the story unless you are trying to get to the specific dirty talk uttered. 
 

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Somewhere between “a love triangle with a Cheektowaga barmaid” and “he has big drops in the playoffs”… that is where you will find the truth

that was bad

 

and he was always bad to invisible in the playoffs

 

but the bills couldn't stop a nosebleed this game. there were still 8 minutes on the clock.

aj klein was starting. i have no doubt mahomes would have marched down the field and scored as time expired. but i digress.

Long story short, he became disgruntled and that impacted relationships not just in the locker room but throughout the entire building. The administration staff were happy to see him go. A true good riddance scenario. He went from being a jocular, light-hearted presence to a moody, bitter negative influence throughout the building. It’s a pattern with him. 

 

Helluva receiver and one of the greatest competitors this team has ever had. 

[BullBuchanan]

"Culture".

He fits the culture of a division champ, and we needed more Curtis Samuel/Josh Palmer/Elijah Moore-type guys to take the next step. Wherever that step is.

[TheFunPolice]

Give it some time. It's the Diggs cycle. Right now we're in the honeymoon, "we're like brothers" piggy back rides on the cover of Sports Illustrated phase. 

 

This week he'll catch a 9 yard pass on 3rd and 7 and stand there staring into space all "intense" for 5 seconds. 

 

But soon Diggs will be doing the "almost" sign with his fingers to Maye or signaling "just a bit higher (or lower)" with his hands in a few weeks when he drops a pass in a big moment. 

 

Then after we go into Foxborough and thump them in the divisional round in a game where he was invisible he'll throw a fit and leave the stadium without talking to anyone and Vrabel will have to run out into the snowstorm and talk him out of an Uber and back into the locker room to talk with his team. 

 

But don't worry, everything is great. All are in harmony. 

 

Then he'll not show up for minicamps. Then he will. He'll say he was told to go home. The team will say no he wasn't. He'll make veiled comments on social media.

 

Next season will start, he'll be invisible for long stretches except for outbursts. Then he'll drop another ball in a big spot and show up Maye acting like it was a bad throw. This will go on all season, and after he disappears in the 2026 playoffs NE will cut him and he'll go sign with another team with a young QB and the cycle will start again. 

BTW, this is the difference between Diggs and guys like Higgins and Chase. Those guys seem to catch anything thrown in their general direction. 

 

Freaking Higgins is out there concussed catching passes with 1 hand in a blizzard and holding on as he falls to the ground and hits his head on the turf yet again. 

 

Diggs is a great WR but he also vanishes in the playoffs. Those dudes are uncoverable. Luckily CIN doesn't play defense or special teams.

It was a killer, anything after we’ll never know.

There was supposedly a rift behind the scenes with Diggs and Allen(possibly McDermott as well)

 

I don't blame Beane one bit for trading Diggs...the problem is completely neglecting replacing him with a legitimate #1 receiver since he's been gone

And not planning for a WR 2 solution either which is why we only have a slot receiver in Shakir. He should have been drafting and molding a guy to play opposite Diggs and instead they just thrust Gabe Davis into that role who was ill prepared for that role. He was great as a #3 option on the outside. Beane has been absymal on the WR role since Emmanuel Sanders 1 year role which again they should have been preparing for a proper WR 2 which wasn't just a random 1 year rental.

He is my least favorite player that’s ever donned a Bills uniform. A major reason we are having WR issues to this day. It would’ve been nice having Diggs age out gracefully while developing his replacement. The Bills had to scramble to find someone and they ended up w/ Keon Coleman. 

 

He's up there for me as well.   Mainly because he is a complete fake and liar.  The emotional immaturity is just the cherry on top.   The only reason it wont turn bad in New England is because he's too old.
