Diggs vs. Josh: Sideline Disagreement?

[Freddie's Dead]

I posted in the GDT that this was not a good look.  I had a "Who cares" comment which got some agrees.  This is not good news going forward.  Diggs should have taken JA aside, but instead he chose to show him up in front of a full house at Highmark and on national TV.  Unproductive at best and can only serve to create hard feelings and rip apart the locker room at worst.

***** ‘em all. They are a bunch of Candy asses!

It’s not professional! It doesn’t help the situation, makes it worse! Why not get with your QB and see if you can come up with a solution, rather than show him up in front of a national audience?

Diggs is emotional but I was on his side today.   Allen's throws were off.   Diggs could have had a few deep throws.  I think that elbow injury affected Allen's mechanics.

I wouldn't be surprised if Diggs makes some ultimatums this off-season. New OC or signing a big time WR. Something. There's no way he's going to go along with the same old thing next year

Probably because Josh wasn’t throwing his best wr the ball, and when he did it was off target? 

That first miss to Diggs on 3rd down was going for a huge TD if it was on target.

Problem is, if you shutdown Diggs our offense doesn’t work. What’s Allen supposed to do?

[Buffalo Ballin]

We shouldn't care about Diggs getting at Josh Allen. That's not a big deal. I bet that happens a lot.

 

Diggs is one of the captains of the team. A captain stays with the ship even when it sinks.

I heard from a reputable source Diggs was screaming at JA for not throwing him catchable balls and looking his way enough and he actually threatened Allen and Allen did not take the bait and ignored him pissing Diggs off even more. This happens in the heat of the moment and has already been forgotten and I’m sure Allen apologized to him

Josh apologising to Diggs?

it was not a good look for Diggs.
 

Elite Wide receivers are annoying prima donnas when the team is losing. 

If more players had Diggs attitude then they might’ve actually put up a fight. 

[wvbillsfan]

I don’t blame Diggs

He needs the ball and not just in deep shots. 

But if you looks at diggs practice routine he doesn’t practice often

Not sure if that’s been a trend his entire time here but their chemistry was off a little 

Never consistently involved in the game

I'm not asking why might these 2 disagree.

I'm asking what was the incident in the game today.

 

I didn't see it on TV, though I did record and will watch again.

 

 

 

Yes, he was. They showed in on the broadcast.

Yes. Josh is the team leader and he did NOT play very well and Diggs is an emotional guy and knowing Josh he likely took the “mea Culpa” to calm Diggs down. Diggs let’s face it is a diva and a “me” person. We could win the SB but if Diggs didn’t get his looks he would be pissed and not celebrate. That’s just Stephon.

Josh did not play well because for the most part he had no time. Maybe Diggs should have been yelling at the O Line.

i saw him after another ball that was low inside he had to slide to catch afterward motioning to him to throw it up higher.

Diggs is about winning not just stats. Its ok. He showed more heart than anyone on the defense did. Maybe that's what this team needs. 

[Sargent Hulka]

Beane has to answer for this. The buck stops with him. Status quo won't fly going forward.

Well now that I've actually seen this incident, it does look like Josh is ignoring Diggs, b/c the coach sitting next to him heard him clearly enough to look up at him twice, and Josh seems to have chosen to just ignore him.

 

Maybe he's thinking "Oh this is just Stephon being Stephon, he'll calm down in a bit."

These things happen between teammates from time to time in all sports.

 

I wouldn't put much into this.  It is kind of interesting though; I missed it the whole thing live!  Too much typing in the game thread! 

 

 

Are you kidding? Diggs shows classic signs of manic/depressive.

[LittleSammy]

Good for Diggs, unlike his coaching staff and a large part of the fan base, he is not willing to accept that "close enough was good enough" in the playoffs for yet another year.

Maybe Diggs would like to take a crack at LT.  Everyone is frustrated.  Sean failed this team years ago by putting his own selfish defensive needs (failed DE's) over the good of protecting your #1 asset.

And how many DEs/DTs do you take while expending only two Day 1/2 picks on OL-men.  Ford and Brown.  Both swings and misses.
