What I don't understand is why this defense, with a defensive head coach, is so bad at tackling. I mean, what could be more fundamental and (correct me if I'm wrong) easy to learn? 

The amount of practice time they get to actually practice tackling 

 

Been down across the league for a decade because of the CBA and how little they can do contact practice 

 

Compare that to like Nick Saban at Alabama who's practices would be tougher than 90% of their games.. you don't see tackling problems

I see, thanks. I was assuming that the inordinate number of injuries on this team came from physical (but apparently) ineffective practices.

No it's probably due to not enough time to actually physically tackle in practice 

 

They're in the NFL.. so people think that they should have that down to a science 

 

Not realizing that not consistently practicing tackling, make your tackling worse... These guys rarely tackle during practice week during the season

 

So their form and constant conditioning to Big impacts is down from what it was 20 years ago... Once the season starts they are rarely tackling in practice

Jerry O said it perfectly- Diggs was a "leader" when things were going well. And when things were going bad, he had a tempter tantrum.

 

He ran himself out of town for reasons I still will never understand

I think it is as simple as he wasn’t a fan of the offensive direction of the team.

I used to think this.  
 

Then I realized that Joe Brady is apparently poison to any WR he coaches here. 
 

Diggs was a shell of himself with Brady. 
 

Davis was a shell of himself with Brady. 
 

Shakir is now a glorified running back. 
 

Brady wanted Samuel.  Samuel is a non-factor. 
 

Moore is a serviceable WR everywhere he’s been.  All he does here is run failed jet sweeps. 
 

Maybe Diggs was right to force his way out after seeing the direction this team was taking on Offense.  
 

It worked when teams didn’t have a full season of tape on it, but now they do and our passing offense looks 10x more dysfunctional than Jaxson Dart throwing to a WR room led by Wandale Robinson.

Because we need WRs

I'm not saying Diggs didn't have any reasons to be upset in the offence, but the original post I was replying too was "Diggs was a good leader and we ran him out of town".

Diggs was throwing temper tantrums before even Brady came here. Including throwing Josh under the bus after the bengals loss. Not too mention his cryptic tweets and his offseason drama in 2023.

 

He was a head case in Minnesota, here , and will always be a complete narcissist

I will start taking two Bills drive bets that diggs runs himself out of New England within the next 2 years 

 

-110 it happens

Haha yep 100 percent. Let's see how good of a "leader" he is when New England starts losing a few games in a row and he isn't involved in the offence

Buffalo has become a place where WRs go to die. You're not wrong. Sigh.

We're talking about Brady's offense. 

 

Obviously before then it was the opposite. Miss the days where guys had career years playing here, that's how it should be. 

 

If I'm an NFL WR, I wouldn't find Buffalo a desirable spot at the moment.

He literally was the passing game coordinator of the greatest passing game in college football history 

 

Something has to be off...  Sure the weapons might not be able to replicate the LSU passing offense 

 

But you think he could come up with some wrinkles
