OT: Stefon Diggs Not Present in Buffalo

[Rob0729]

It seemed clear in the playoffs last year that Diggs isn't happy being in Buffalo anymore. I don't think he can shoot his way out of town, but it may not stop him from trying.

 

[Real fan 02]

I think it all boils down to him being "the guy"... As much as it pains me to say, Allen has gotten better, and has expanded his field of vision, so he's not locked into diggs 24/7... Diggs still wants that delicious, ego boosting I'm the guy pie all to himself... Total diva imo

Well put, Diggs behavior going back to Last season is reminiscent to how it was in Minnesota.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Good. I hope the franchise spirals into chaos and we win the division.

[RobertWeathers]

Play on words.

He'll eventually emerge, but doesn't anyone remember what he did during the loss to the Bengals? He was pretty pissed off they got beatdown and took another loss in the divisional round.

He's in for another Groundhog Day as they will lose again probably in the Wildcard or Divisional Round with that poor supporting cast on offense. It's pretty bad.

I'm not buying this because his bonuses in the offseason made it impossible to move him. If he wanted to go elsewhere his best bet would be to make his feelings known

I think they have a good surrounding cast. Their problem is they got away from how they were playing.

More of a coaching problem than anything else.

But the OL is solid. They have plenty of WRs. Kincaid makes their TEs better.

James Cook and Damien Harris are a more than decent pair. I would not call this an offense hurting for weapons. Not at all.

 

[TheRainMaker]

So the HC didn't know his WR was there?

The bills have been feeding his diva attitude ever since he got there, and why not, he practically turned the franchise around by himself... Allen was a mess until he got there - don't believe me? go look at the numbers to all the doubters out there... He Made Josh Allen. Period. without him, Allen is still tossing 20 / 12, looking more like Mac Jones than Mack Truck

So Josh Allen isn't the second best quarterback in the NFL today? Yes, obviously, the Buffalo passing game made a huge jump upon Diggs arrival, but Allen was drafted into the league with massive potential (and he wasn't horrible in 2019). Allen also ran for 1140 yards and 17 TDs before Diggs showed up. Allen doesn't need Diggs like Tua probably needs Hill and Waddle, he's got a lot more baseline talent. That said, Allen needs Diggs to be a Super Bowl contender so Buffalo needs to straighten out whatever may be going on here.

Did I say he wasn't a good quarterback? No I did not. If fact, a few posts later I say as much.

And fantastic, more useless stats ... Allen ran for a lot of yards... Big effing Deal... 1141 yards in 2018 and 2019... Thats a great stat to have in a Passing league, isnt it...

Steph Diggs arrived in 2020... Josh Allen exploded at that point... His Completion percentage, TDs, YPG, QB Rating, NY/A & ANY/A exploded... Why? It certainly wasn't Cole Beasley & Gabe Davis... Diggs was instrumental in Josh Allen developing as a quarterback... 166 targets, a league leading 127 receptions, league leading 1535 yards...

and **** buffalo straightening it out... they will pacify him a bit... but as soon as something like the playoff boonswaggle happens again, diggs is going to go from gruntled to disgruntled faster than the large hadron collider can sling atoms... Can't Wait To See It Happen.

(yawn)

Wake me up when it is mid-August and Diggs still is disgruntled and holding out.....

 

[Steve102]

Play on words.

So he's in the facility but not at practice. Maybe he met with brass, says he eff'n hates it there and split.

Somewhere, Belichick is laughing. "This is why we don't draft those diva ***holes."


June 13th. Meh.

Really I don't think a thought like that ever crossed BB's mind Diggs have torched his Defense many times just a little FYI. It's been already said Allen Great with Diggs...Allen average without Diggs.

Mid August's popcorn is mid August's popcorn. Today's popcorn is today's popcorn. You don't let one go stale because there might be an even better one later. You eat the one you have and then look forward to the next.

I 100% believe that it figures in to drafting WRs, otherwise they would have had to have hit on one in the last 20 years. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut... To your point, I don't think it entered or crossed Bill's mind in this instance re: Diggs. May have barely gotten noticed.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Maybe there was a misunderstanding, and Diggs thought he was able to work from home? He was probably Skyping around asking for the meeting link.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

He has gained a lot of weight and he is embarrassed since he is no longer cat like quick
