SectionC3

I’m not at all involved with these guys but, from what I know, there’s truth to what I believe to be Diggs’s sentiment that Josh had to get his act together in 2023. That said, there’s also truth to the point that Diggs acted like a supreme a-hole this year. In the end, it doesn’t matter. Diggs is gone and on we go.

I look at the KC playoff game and keep thinking if we had one bigger receiver I’d take the layups all day long and let him beat on those corners and let the corners make the tackle. Deep stuff comes form that - wear them down, get them creeping, and hit the shot (unless it’s to Diggs, who dropped the shot it took them the whole game to set up). But your points about having ann intermediate or deep game are valid. We have probably the only quarterback in the league who can hit Diggs in Detroit on Thanksgiving. And that Shakir route that missed against KC in the playoffs is a throw that most wouldn’t even attempt. So there’s a logic in leaning into that too. I just want to have the ability to play and punish through the short game if we’re going to see the steady diet of two high again next year.

Well said.

Yes. Exactly right.

This. All day long. That’s my beef with 13 seconds.

I get the concern about turning him into a ball control passer, but I wonder if that’s the way to trend a bit more given how defenses play him. We’ve seen a ton of two-high shell, and maybe the approach to that is to run the ball (Cook is dynamic) and get it to guys who can break a few tackles (Shakir) or do something on a bubble. I completely agree with the point that we cannot abandon a deep game. I’m also of the mind that YAC is overblown, and that if we have guys catching the ball 15 yards downfield with their backs to the end zone I’m totally find with that. But that type of passing game probably isn’t going to be available with the way teams are playing us. So I’m all about getting guys who can break a tackle or run a corner over on completions underneath the shell.

Solid point on davis. They could have kept him if they wanted. That money was workable. But they simply decided that stuff like the Denver drop wasn’t worth the cap space.

Sulking is such a perfect word.

I don’t think they nuke the nominal #1 WR over a very recent tweet. This has been brewing for awhile. Trust me when I say that this guy turned into a supreme a-hole. I have no doubt that Josh signed off on this. In the end, they just got tired of his BS and dumped him. They couldn’t do it after his tantrum in minicamp, but they kept a lid on it and him and got value for him as soon as they could. Adios to a guy who didn’t want to be here.

He became a supreme a-hole and they were tired of his act. I’m not the least bit surprised by the trade based on what I’ve heard about this guy.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Or he‘s an a-hole and they wanted him gone. Storming out on McD last year? Broken relationship with Josh? (Though Diggs was right about the focus point last year.) Raincloud bad attitude? Making everyone walk on eggshells around him to handle his jerkiness? Adios. I thank him for his service, but it was time for him to GTFO and take his act elsewhere. On to a happier workplace.

He’s toxic. He’s managed to alienate a lot of people in the last year or so. Not jaw-dropping or violent stuff, but if it ever got out the consensus would easily be that he is a supreme a-hole.

This is in the list of important things to do. Maybe the Dallas DA wants to have their say, too. We shall see.

If he was a passenger, then you're right. I have not heard anything about him being a passenger. The cynic in me notes that of course he was a passenger, and of course the driver didn't have any more than two drinks, if he had a drink at all. Nobody ever has more than two drinks before a DWI, and rich dudes who were present in their vehicle at the scene of a bad accident but who have less monied friends with them never were driving the car.

Not likely.

Doubtful. LE comes down hard on runners to discourage the behavior. They’ll get his credit cards, lean in his friends, and maybe even pull phone records to get a bead on where he was and if he was drinking before the accident. They’re gonna work this one.

Troy Franklin intel.

He did. Some of the locals have a vague idea of what happened, but they’ve done a very good job on keeping a lid on the details. Seems like he’s happy now, and I’m glad for him that the nuttiness is behind him.

They’re going section by section to learn the limits of the big fish first and then to squeeze out the commoners for the big fish who can’t or won’t buck up for the premium seats. Smart business. But really bad for the regular folk.

Last I checked some guy with horns and no shirt running around the Capitol with thousands of this brainwashed friends trying to disrupt the certification of the electoral college results is a tiny bit different from street violence in the summer of 2020.

On an interesting side note, Micah Hyde was in town a few days before FA started. Some other Bills have their houses on the market and/or are packing them up. (e.g., Dorsey's hit yesterday, somebody picked up the trash can that's been laying around for weeks at Sherfield's house and is moving him.) But nothing yet from Hyde.

I didn’t see the hand warmer thing in the stadium. But I blame the block on whomever thought kicking that field goal was a good idea. We had things totally under control. The kicking game was bad to that point in the game. I believe Bass attempted three kicks prior to then; one was missed and two were line drives. Hand on Bible, sitting in the stadium immediately before the kick I told the person with whom I attend the games that there’s no way I would have attempted that given the prior kicks, the situation the distance (47) and the prevailing wind. Everyone knew he was going to hit it low, and he did and it was blocked. We all know what happened the following week too - a guy with little confidence who wasn’t right missed a kick he should make about 90% of the time. He was just off at the end of the year.

My guess is that his subtraction is going to make the atmosphere there a LOT better. There’s a reason Mandy Glab didn’t get clipped for talking out of school about him. It’s because what she said is true and they all know it.

I don’t doubt that for a second. He’s worn it out with others around here, too.
