Diggs hasn't said anything negative about Josh since he left. In fact, he's said multiple positive things, including that he should be MVP during the season. I think it's time to just accept he thought this team wasn't going in the right direction, and even if he was wrong, he felt it was time to try somewhere else. And hey, we got a 2nd round pick out of it & still made it to the AFCCG, the Texans got half a season, and now he's on a rebuilding Pats team. He gets another chance to be a WR1, we hopefully capitalize on the pick, and everyone's happy (except the Texans)!

We used to have monsters like that. Pat Williams, Ted Washington, Sam Adams - those were some heavy dudes! But this boy is even bigger than them! He's massive! Doubt he'd hold up well in the NFL though, but who knows?

As long as it ends with the Bills winning the Super Bowl, I approve! Sure, it's fake, but I don't care!

I disagree. The Bills were just as much as "super team" as those others were. Look at all the HOFers & Pro Bowlers the Bills had on those rosters. The biggest issue was coaching (and probably preparation). Reid is an all time great coach, and Mahomes is already a top 5 QB ever (some would argue top 2), and some of these Chiefs teams have been utterly dominant. The Giants had their backup QB playing & still only won by 1 point. The Redskins with Mark Rypien & a great OL beat us. Watch that Super Bowl again & just see how many times the Bills shot themselves in the foot. The Chiefs are not normally that insanely sloppy. Like those Bills teams were turnover machines come playoff time. Just because the Bills couldn't do it, doesn't mean a better coached, more poised team wouldn't have been able to.

Chargers fans have been saying this for years now. At this point, just expect the injury & hope he's at least decent in the games he does manage to play.

That's actually a pretty good deal for them. Not a ton of guaranteed money, get a talented WR. Probably not so great for Maye though. Diggs is going to overpower him with his "desire to win" REAL quick 🤣

It's easy to think that, but Andy Reid is a better coach than Marv, and Mahomes is a much better QB than Kelly. I think KC would beat the Giants for sure, 50/50 with the Redskins, then split with the Cowboys. But we'll never know, so they just as easily could've lost all 4.

Isn't a large chunk of that Josh himself?

Of course he does. The idea of a "hometown discount" is a fan expectation, not an NFL reality. When you play better than the large majority of players in the league (and at the hardest position), you should expect to be paid better than those other guys.

I mean, he did have 6 really good or great seasons before the last 2 being ruined by injuries. We had Takeo Spikes as a "Legend of the Game" last year, and he only had 2 healthy seasons with Buffalo. If Matt can have a bounce-back year & play like he used to, I'd say 7 good seasons is worth consideration. But for now, I also lean "no" on the WOF thing.

Probably, but only if he's given WAY more talent at WR & TE. Look at Allen's stats in 2020 when we had prime Stefon Diggs & Cole Beasley. He still ran quite a bit, but only 421 rush yards & 8 TDs, and much, much fewer designed runs. He was definitely still scrambling, but that's when you saw the change of him always looking downfield & to pass first. As time went on & our OL sucked, he was forced to run around quite a bit more. Combine that with the fact that guys were getting older, we had less weapons outside of Diggs, no real run game, and different OC's, the need to use Josh's legs more increased. But I think with this O-line & a RB like James Cook, the only thing stopping Josh from becoming primarily a pocket passer is talent at outside WR & speed to stretch the field. He'll never be the most accurate & timing-based QB, but Allen's taken a big leap in how he processes defenses. I'm no longer concerned about him locking onto his first read, being uncomfortable making audibles or diagnosing pressure & where to go. He gets it, so really all that needs to change is having the right personnel.

Really? You have no idea why most people don't want to sit in rain or freezing temps or a snow storm for over 3 hours?

I knew he was great, but I didn't know he held that record! Was that the game where Andre Reed basically lost us the game? I was like 11 years old, but I remember him doing something that really screwed us, but haven't ever went back to revisit that when I was older.

Our passing game wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I don't think people realize how having a run game (and having a player as good as Cook) is what allowed our passing offense to be as successful as it was, despite not having a ton of talent or players that can stretch the field. If we still had Singletary & Moss, last year's success wouldn't have been possible. The run game would look like crap, and Shakir/Hollins/Samuel/Coleman would have looked abysmal. At that point, it may have been the least impressive receiving corps Allen has had since his rookie year and actually looked like it on the field. But Allen is more experienced & a much better player, paired with a great OL & good run game, so the results were much better. We can continue to have success this way, despite no star WRs, as long as we have a good RB to lean on...whether that's Cook or someone else.

I'd take Cooper or Diggs back. We got a 2nd round pick for him & now he's probably cheaper than ever. Of course I'm fine with him being gone too, just saying I wouldn't be angry if they signed up.
