Cook has been a great RB for the Bills. BUT - "when they show you who they are, believe them the first time!" He is showing himself to be a DIVA. His social media demonstration is an attempt to hold the Bills hostage. If he succeeds, he will continue this behavior. No mater how good Diggs was we were better off with him GONE.

He is a great player but he is acting like another DIVA. This may not be a path the Bills want to go down. I don't. Too bad!

I am trying to savor these moments BEFORE the game. Kinda like Christmas Eve when sugar plums are still free to dance in my head. I am old and would love to live to see the Bills win a Super Bowl. But lately I just seem to pray that Josh Allen is able to achieve his dreams/goals and is not held back by a team not good enough to help him get there... I hope that this Bills team, right here, right now, are the wind beneath his wings! Edited to add: GO BILLS

I like the look of the red uniforms. But last week, I found myself not being able to remember that we were the ones in RED and not the Pats. It was like the Bills were wearing the Patriots uniforms.

PTSD indeed. Many fans are too young to have experienced "Wide right", "Music City Miracle", those and the most recent "13 seconds" has left a lot of us too afraid to hope. Some ridiculous fluke or twist of fete swoops in and again leaves us in total shock and disbelief that victory was snatched away, yet again, in the very last moment. Perhaps some of us just care too much and the disappointment is too crushing.

Shame on you - Xtra! The ONLY thing we have ever had was just our hopes and dreams. NOW you have to go and tell us that there is no SANTA? Bah Humbug

One thing that concerns me is that he has had two, back to back, season ending, non contact injuries. This has to get into a player's head and effect their performance going forward. How do you train or plan to avoid these things?

Spoken like a true "Bandwagon" fan.

I think he is playing injured again. In 2021 he played the last half of the season with a torn Oblique muscle. Oblique muscles are attached to the bottom of the rib cage. They are the ones we sue to twist and turn our body at the waist. When one is injured you usually can go about life mostly normal. That is until you twist or turn the wrong way. THEN - very painful, like a broken rib type painful for a few minutes. That sort of situation would explain why he avoided contact whenever possible. https://bangedupbills.com/2024/01/19/digging-into-stefon-diggss-mystery-injury/#:~:text=Previous Oblique Injury,Dolphins during the 2020 season.

F the Chiefs. I am routing for the Lions!!!!!

I believe Gabe has great talent however I also believe he is "lazy brained". He doesn't seem to study the game and just tries to get by on "winging it". IF he ever decides to buckle down and train his head as much as his body, he will make some team a hell of a player one day. I doubt he will find the motivation playing for the Bills.

GO BILLS!!!!!!

But... Do you think he should just "man up" and play tough guy? Would that not send a message to defenders to give it their best shot? Just maybe - Josh is sending a message that "if you mess with me - I will try and make sure you get caught". Maybe Josh is trying to make sure the refs notice. Even with all that - players STILL take cheap shots. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like other teams players taking cheap shots at our players.

In 2021 Diggs played through a torn oblique to help his club reach the AFC Championship Game. A torn oblique has a way of being easily re-injured. I know this from personal experience. Move the wrong way and extreme pain for a short time then ok. It seemed to me that was his reaction to being tumbled after that tackle. Commentator speculated that he had the wind knocked out of him but oblique pain is intense but short lived as long as you don't twist the wrong way.

I think the Pat's number one and number two picks may very well be for HC and GM - Bill did both jobs, I believe.

How hard do you work when you know you are getting canned in two weeks?

I hear ya!!! BUT I recently signed up with Peacock because they offered a whole year for $19.99 - ya can't beat that with a stick! OR the price is $5.99/mo too much to pay for your Bills Backer Bar ???? This seems kinda like a "moleHILL you're choosing to die on..."

Go Bills!

" couldn't roll around on the floor with his kids because he had no flexibility, and because all of his joints ached from carrying the weight. " WOW Agree both extremes are not healthy. I don't think Dawkins will last very long in the NFL if he continues his off season antics. IMO

There is a big difference between your example and Dawkins. In your example players work hard and ate to carry extra weight. When season was over they did not eat the extra calories and thus their weigh went down normally. What Dawkins did was over eat and added 40 pounds of fat. Then went on a water and salad diet, basically a starvation diet, to lose weight but THAT way of dieting usually results in the lose of muscle.

Many Pro athletes are very focused on their performance and live a lifestyle dedicated to that purpose. Dawkins is not in that category because he trashed his body so bad that he had to Crash Diet (not healthy) just to undo the damage he had caused in 6 or 7 weeks time. A dedicated professional would not have trashed their body to begin with. What Dawkins did was his own version of Binge and Purge - not healthy!

He gained FORTY POUNDS in TWO MONTHS! That is one hell of a binge. Team dedication be damned! He had to work as hard as he could just to get back to end of season shape. MOST dedicated players, like Micah Hyde, work most of the off season to get BETTER than last season - THAT is team dedication.

It was reported that he was trying to spark something in them...

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/06/13/stefon-diggs-breaks-silence-on-instagram/ First of all - Is English his second language? "If them lies help you sleep better tell em big dawg" - Who is "big dawg"? McDermott or Josh Allen? Stefon Diggs has an attitude that effect the locker room this year and most likely wants changes to his contract that will let him move on at the end of the season if not earlier. In my opinion!

Not digg'n Diggs anymore. These are bullshoot games.
