  1. This is the most popular un-named police officer in history. Because I've heard the same exact thing from Buffalonians who are on opposite sides of the county, but somehow all know this OP cop so well. Spoiler Alert: That entire story was bull####.
  2. Where in my post did I ever say YOU were hysterically panicking? I was pointing out the large range of how McD's statement could be interpreted, and how "most fans" (direct quote) were choosing to react. Go back and check it out. Wasnt personal.
  3. That's how you want to interpret it. I think any coach would say their #1WR, Captain, and star player missing 1 day of practice is "very concerning". But really, to what extent? There is a TON of room on that spectrum. From mild coach-speak to hysterical panicking. Unfortunately, most fans choose hysterical panicking since they have nothing better to do.
  4. Yes. 100% When you look at what you get for such a minor "headache"
  5. But the teams usually forgive the fines when the player shows up. They may be standard and automatic, but they arent mandatory.
  6. Again, it's not about his own stats, or his money. That is all fine. What he was seemingly upset about was that when the Offense is sputtering, we can usually get it on track by going to Diggs a few times for some reliable, short gains (6-14 yards). But when we were in that situation multiple times last year, Dorsey and Josh all but completely ignored him. He is fine with winning and not getting any touches. He is ok with losing and the team giving their best effort. He is NOT fine with the team losing, looking flat and confused, and the coaches actively ignoring one of their biggest stat players.
  7. Diggs really hitting the team with the "If you cant handle me at my worst, you dont deserve me at my best" 🤣🤣🤣
  8. oh my god you guys are being so overly dramatic. I love ya, but take a breath.
  9. Dont flatter yourself (although I'm sure that is lost on anyone who calls themselves Einstein) An Optimist says over and over that everything is great. A Pessimist says it's a big problem. A true realist simply adjusts their sails and keeps moving ahead. You may have had the homer part right, but that's not a realist take. Now, I lean a bit to the optimist side in saying that this will likely all be fine by the end of the week. You can have your pessimist rant about how bad this is.
  10. Probably not but depends if it gets Dorsey's attention. Hey, maybe McD will actually get fired up about something too.
  11. It's not about quantity of targets. Never was. It's about relying on him when the team needs a spark the most. Find some ways to get him open underneath for short, but sure, gains. Instead, we were running the Dorsey Classic, which is 2 deep shots to Davis then take a sack on 3rd down by trying to go deep again, then punt.
  12. I think we are feeling bigger feelings about it than the other players who have their own careers and assignments to worry about right now.
  13. None of that will be lost by missing one day (or week) of minicamp. All those players have plenty of other stuff to learn and worry about. We'll be fine.
  14. I think it's mostly this. And a bit of McD being soft. At the MNF game, Diggs was the only player getting ready to re-take the field and pumping his teammates up before McD pulled the plug. At the Cincy playoff game, Diggs was one of maybe 3 players (Milano and kinda Edmunds) that showed up to play. I think he wants more fire from the coach. Plus a different Offensive philosophy. Again, totally guessing.
  15. Like Diggs needs camp 🤣 And he'll be right out there with the starters the day he shows up.
  16. "If you want to ignore me when the team needs me the most, then take a look at what your team really looks like without me"
  17. Much like Bruce, I'd argue Diggs could show up on Sept 11 for the opener and be ready to go and not miss a beat.
  18. But when the going got tough and we needed him the most, the coaches and Josh flat out ignored him. In more than one game. And instead to take low percentage deep shots to a struggling and unreliable Davis. Just sayin.
  19. People are free to get into whatever bag of feelings they want, but it's a little ridiculous for anyone to turn on him given what he has done and contributed to this team. We've had plenty of greats hold out before, Bruce always comes to mind. Fans need to take a step back and find something else to occupy their time if they are turning on Diggs. Already some embarrassing posts in here by folks who have just been waiting to turn on him since we got him.
  20. Gotta be coaching, imo. I think he's still upset that Dorsey & McD refused to get him the ball when the team needed a spark the most. Feels like he's sending a message of "If you dont think I'm that important to our success, look at what you have on the field without me". And again, this isnt about him getting touches as much as not being relied on or called upon when the team could use his contribution the most. I'm just guessing but there really cant be much else.
