“I love Stef as a brother” or making clear there isn’t a personal issue between him and Diggs when Diggs feels there is?
IF Diggs is talking about Josh. He may not be.
isnt "I love you like a brother' usually followed by, "but . . . ?"
isnt it code for '. . . but as brothers know. Brothers fight. A lot. And hard. but after i kick his ass, i still love him'

I did not have the energy to read the whole thread. What is the speculation on what McDermott is "very worried" about?
Is McDermott concerned this will negatively impact Digg's performance?Is McDermott concerned Diggs will not play this year?
Is McDermott concerned he has lost the locker room?an earlier poster noted that McD was asked 'does Diggs' absence concern you?"
So McD did not choose the word 'concerning' out of thin air. If anything, it was a skilled question and caught McD slippin a bit.

Hold on stop. One guy is in and around the team all offseason. The other showed up for the first time 24 hours ago. If he is wanting more input you have to be available. I dont think its a chicken or the egg thing. I really hope this is not the case. It looks stupid to want to be able to do your own thing to prepare for the season but be involved in managerial decisions while your away.
they should invent Facetime

He has to sign it as its a restructure of his contract and how he is paid.
except, the contract itself can provide, for valuable consideration, that it is a team option to restructure.
ex: Addendum Q. player herein agrees that CLUB may, at anytime and for any reason, with or without notice to Player, restructure the payments due under this contract, according to the following formula:
blah blah blah.
---
Phone call to Agent: "hey Agent, just letting you know we're gonna go ahead and exercise Addendum Q. We're gonna do it March 15. We'll give you a reminder on the day before we do it. Thanks buddy"
Agent: "thanks Beane. We'll go ahead and announce that we have agreed to restructure"
Beane: "sure. fine. whatever." [even though technically, you 'agreed' to this when you signed the original contract]

We've finally reached peak speculation in a ridiculously speculative thread. Oof.
Maybe Josh is really a replicant sent here by Aliens? I MEAN WE JUST DON'T KNOW!! 🤣

I keep coming back to the idea that there’s more to the story. Going back to November, there’s a poster here who said something to the effect that Allen received some unwelcome news during the bye. Then we get kind of an absent Allen against the Jets and Vikings, the Dorsey growing pains, and we end up sleepwalking through the post-Damar part of the season. Then, of course, we have the flatline Cinci loss, the Diggs outburst, and the resultant rumors about certain goings on at the Allen homestead involving law enforcement.
I can’t help but wonder if the Diggs sideline reaction against Cinci was a culmination of frustration with 13 seconds, Daboll leaving, Allen’s head in a different planet mid-season, and then the distraction before the Cinci game. Maybe Diggs has a point about the need for focus. And maybe he’s right.
continuing this line of inquiry, and incorporating today's stuff [i havent thought this to conclusion yet. but it seems fertile ground]:
Does Diggs think / believe / know that JA has a substance problem and isnt getting the treatment that JA promised Diggs he would get?
Why is Diggs not out with tweets or medie leaks that he also LOVES JA?
Doesnt JA sound apologetic, a bit? Doeth he protest too much?
Doesnt JA sound like Favre used to (when he was addicted to painkillers) a bit? Big, Broad, He-Man statements with zero substance.
Is that why Diggs showed up, saw all he needed to see, and broke out?
Does this explain why Diggs has not asked for more money and has not asked to be traded? Diggs wants to WIN. this place is perfect. As long as QB1 is all in.
Is this why McD sounded defensive and/or angry. That he doesnt want stuff about JA to get out there? Or that McD is Also annoyed at JA but prefers to handle it in house. Diggs sees that McD's 'handling' isnt working
Is this why JA's girlfriend left?

Hall probably thinks:
If you put THAT guy over me for OC, i see how it is
In jacksonville, I get to Learn my ass off, from a SB winning head coach. with a whole different system maybe. And live in a warm tax free state.And leaving shows i am ambitious. Which is a good, manly, testosterone, leader-of-men type of trait in this league. So I'm showing it.
And in terms of staying under Dorsey, while dorsey sucks, I say 'why should Hall make his resume Worse?' If youre gonna gtfo, now is the time. And wtf would he have learned under Dorsey anyway, except how to suck?
In fairness, Hall could have learned everything to Not do, if Dorsey sucked. But that cuts against improving his resume, or implying Hall has a genius 3D chess type reason.
Conspiracy Theory:
Did Diggs want his WR coach to be elevated to OC instead of Dorsey?
Which is why Hall ended up leaving?
Which is why Diggs is like "Dammit !! I TOLD you."
And maybe Diggs favored Hall's offensive concepts which were WR-coach-centered, versus Dorsey (former QB) and a qb-centered offense
hmmmmm

Your contention is that he interviewed for OC positions and didn’t get one, so he decided to go to a bottom dweller team that not only already had hired an OC but also the head coach acts as a secondary OC, essentially giving Hall zero chance to ever be promoted?
And at the same time he left a top tier team that had a brand new OC who could suck and Hall could be promoted?
Surely you see how that makes zero sense?

I'm going with the Darez Diggs legal trouble issues. I beleive the Diggs family is close and looks like Darez just got himself into some bigtime legal trouble
why today though?
the legal process moves slowly.
There are daily flights to/from Dallas
we do have video chat now
i mean, even if his brother got re-arrested last night, that's what lawyers are for
Even if today was super important for his brother, unless today was the first day of trial, And diggs tried to get the day off and the Bills said "no," And if Diggs was gonna attend his brother, why fly all the way to Buffalo for a half day?
And why would JA feel the need to leak / tweet every hour if it were Diggs personal private family business. I mean, we all know how those issues are handled in the press for an excused absence due to personal issues. And those dont usually include flying all the way to the team facility for an hour, before going back home.

its about the offensive mind. the offensive creativity.
I am sold on the arguments that if you have a great qb, you throw everything into continuity and constant innovation on that side of the ball.
That way, at least i would know i tried my very very best to maximize my great qb.

It is amazing that a running back in todays NFL would turn down guaranteed millions of dollars, knowing full well he would most likely be out of the league after this contract period is up, ah the NFL, Rhodes scholars abound…,
I suspect its hard, when you have daydreamed and planned for your life after football with 70 million in your nest, to dial it all the way back to 10 Million
It must be like hitting the powerball for 100 million. Then two days later, after you've planned every dollar in your mind and who gets what, etc., you find out 19 other people hit it too, so its a 20 way split.

It was just a joke. I know in terms of DVOA we lucked into the playoffs that year as our expected win total was between 6 and 7 depending on what metric you used. We also had a negative point differential if memory serves me correctly.
Let me ask you this question because you seem to be rightfully more skeptical of McD than the average Bills fan. Would you have fired McDermott after last season if you could've replaced him with Sean Payton?
yes
a thousand times, yes.
yes, please.
and i dont mind McD so much. But i woulda fired mike Tomlin, or probably even 80 year old Belichick, to get Payton. The only coaches i would not have fired for Sean Payton are Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan. And yes, Harbaugh would get fired too.

The Vikings, they're just like us. They've lost 4 SB's. They play well most regular seasons, only to struggle in the playoffs.
This is exactly why, for me, its Not the Vikings
I dont want anyone anytime anywhere to win its first before I get my first.
So of the teams left, I say Chicago. Great city. It would be fun to see a cold-outdoor team do well.
And the NFL is better when the Bears are relevant. Its still the 3rd biggest city in America. -

This training should be free.
i remember during college i called the red cross to get the training. just, because. I would like to know CPR just in case. its an available thing to learn, i might need it one day, so i have zero reason not to.
Found out they charge for it. and it wasnt cheap. probably the equivalent of $95 today. I have looked into it a couple times since college and its still a pay class, and its still nowhere near cheap.
Not politics here, but of all of the free government programs, public libraries is always number 1
but lifesaving should be waaaaaaaaay up there.

I want to feel bad for him, but he's an adult who makes $50 million a year + endorsements.
Patrick is an enabler along with his parents who, I can only assume, put all their energy into Pat which is how Jackson turned out the way he did.
the Bolded part made me think:
if Mahomes is smart (or his handlers are smart and he's smart enuf to listen), then Mahomes should tell his entire family that they only get to live off his Endorsement money.
I suspect this would straighten them out. Since currently, they dont seem to GAF about Pat's image. Since they probably livin off his guaranteed football $$ -

I predict that Shorter will not make the team.
He is not a hands catcher. Not at all. Its like he brings every ball into his stomach. Even on Slants, he will fall/slide down in order to be in position to catch it where he is comfortable catching it. In his mid-section.
beyond that, there is nothing athletic about him at all. He moves like a slow TE3.
furthermore, it sounds like (from the other thread about UDFA) that that 6'6" receiver who we got as UDFA on a 3 year deal is the new special teams gunner.
dont see where Shorter will fit.
He's only a 5th round draft pick. Who as was mentioned upthread, is "a big receiver who is not good at football."
Perhaps I can dilute it by saying "Shorter will not see the field" but that's only if McBeane wanna try to salvage value by telling themselves he will get better, so they keep him as a perpetual game-day inactive player.
But it wont take 4 years, like it did for Edmunds.

maybe McD has some lingering health problem and this is a just-in-case move.
Maybe he learned during covid to always carry a spare
And its probably best for chain-of-command for there to be no in-fighting among players or other coaches, if and when its necesary to pull over and put the donut on.

because its less likely that they needed to do this to keep him from bolting to another team. seems like the season for hiring assistant coaches has passed. Not that i've studied it or anything
