if statistics are irrelevant then what is?

I’m just going by that official schedule I linked and the OP asked about the local (assuming Buffalo) coverage. It could be different depending on what market you’re in. But yeah CBS and direcTV need to figure their stuff out.

I would not really care either way but I don’t agree there’s a “good chance” he doesn’t make the team.

I applaud you for explaining this at least a dozen times now to people saying the same dumb things about punt returns. ”He ran a 3.9 40.” ”He’s returned 9 punts over 2 years and 5 didn’t go well.” ”He’s FAST! And short. Definitely a punt returner put him in immediately.” ”….okay”

Yeah injuries are so cool let’s have more 🙄. no class.

people are saying it’s a calf strain.

Yeah chances are if that ever would happen (it won’t) you wouldn’t get comparable talent, you’d get lesser talent and/or draft picks.

If Rodgers gets absolutely destroyed this season behind that line you know he’ll be stewing over that money he gave up while he nurses his various injuries. Idk I have never got the hype for them or the Dolphins this offseason. I still think the Bills are leagues ahead of both.

Becton has looked rough pretty much forever hasn’t he? good luck Aaron.

I’m comparing Diggs reaction to things going sideways in that Bengals game to what the cameras also showed us of Allen during the same game. That’s what Allen looked like to me - in space somewhere. Checked out. Other QBs have looked the same way when it just isn’t their day, as you pointed out. And that is okay. My whole point is neither bothers me. And as far as Diggs “interrupting” Josh on his tablet, well I’d figure listening to your only elite weapon in the midst of a win or go home playoff game (even if he’s only venting) is more important than checking replays. Make time for both, since we all know, so they should definitely know, that Diggs isn’t going to be quiet about it. Any conduct fans or commentators are deeming as “counterproductive” by Diggs is far outweighed by his ACTUAL PRODUCTION on the field Or don’t! Like I said if they both continue to produce - awesome. If one or both still have a hair up their a** about how it went down then one will be gone, it won’t be Allen and the team will probably be worse off for it. My whole issue in this thread and the earlier ones about Diggs and minicamp isn’t with you - it’s with the usual suspects claiming the team needs to get rid of Diggs, he’s not worth it, he’s F’ing up the culture or the “process” (whatever that is.) Picture a Bills team with the roster as currently constructed without Stefon Diggs. That’s not great. That’s not even good, at least on offense. So you learn to manage your personalities and figure it out.

JW flubbed his question, for sure. He admitted it afterwards.

I’m not defending Diggs so much as I am accepting it. He’s equally demonstrative when things are going well. Knowing his production over the years (which is all I really care about) I’ve learned to accept it and him for what he is. I absolutely do not care about whether or not he hurt Josh Allen’s feelings. Both men are paid enough to where if they can’t work it out, or if one or the other is hung up on this or that supposed public “slight”, then tough, I guess. i thought only the manbaby fans got hung up on that sort of **** but maybe not. That’s fine then. And if something irreparable happened (or is happening) then we all know how it will end already - one of them will be gone, and it won’t be Allen.

Yes we all must have good little soldiers stone faced on the sideline in full “process” mode at all times - including one of the most talented guys on the team.

Well maybe I was tuned out immediately after the season ended so I’ll need some links to some quotes he apparently made on that. And you say you “absolutely” don’t want to get rid of him while attacking his attitude and demeanor throughout this thread about his press conference wherein he said literally all the right things. So I guess I’m a little confused on that as well. The team is almost certainly going to face adversity again in some form. Hopefully not as much as late last year but still - and Diggs will probably express frustration at that adversity in some sort of public way. Are you saying that that next time is the last straw? Or next to last or whatever?

That’s inside baseball we can’t know that…

No kidding. When did I or anyone else criticize any particular player’s drive to win?

But he expressed his frustration in the wrong way (or at least, the wrong way to some people) so he must be held over the coals some more. yeah well maybe just get rid of him then. Let’s see how they fare. Making an a** out of himself? How so? Personally your moralizing is getting annoying so I’ll just leave it there.

I don’t doubt your source but I do not think they are privy to every single conversation that have occurred between Diggs and Allen/McDermott/Dorsey since January. And even if he didn’t apologize for, whatever, I didn’t have a problem with him in that game anyways. I was more concerned with Allen staring off into space on the bench (during the game) like he just had to put his dog down or something. So yeah - Diggs being expressive and emotional on the field, on the sidelines during games - that’s probably not going to change. I have no problem with it. Maybe you do and your “source” does but it’s pretty clear by now that’s who he is.

Matt Ryan huh. Well I went to BC so I suppose I have to wish him well but I don’t think that’s going work out so great.

He was publicly unapologetic. No matter what we think of his behavior during and after that last game, he doesn’t need to offer a public apology for anything.

Well yeah. That’s why they did this they assume they have a little window here with Rodgers for 2 years so that’s what they’re going to do obviously.

thanks - yeah I’m surprised a little that they did this already but it was inevitable.

well he’s a rookie so see whatever you want to see but the fact he probably won’t start week 1 means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
