Beck Water Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 Dawson Knox: Von Miller Josh Allen I find it a bit telling that 2 of the 4 players chosen/who chose to meet with the media so far are on IR - Von Miller and Micah Hyde. 1 1 Quote
Beck Water Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Josh Allen media availability Asked about his elbow and what the path forward for that will be. Said "no, we don't think an operation will be necessary at this time. Obviously, rest and recovery is going to be really good for it." Said there was a period right after it happened where it was pretty bothersome, overall didn't affect him all that much. Said maybe he was trying to throw it a little differently, had to change a few things, got away a little bit from ..(paused) how I'm used to throwing the ball. That's just kind of a byproduct of that (meaning coping with the injury) but "overall it didn't affect me too much" Says in response to a later question that about 2 weeks ago he got back to his throwing motion being what he likes, that being a rotational thrower it's very "elbow prevalent" and he may have changed to "a more linear type deal" because he couldn't use all that much force (I wondered, though if it got dinged again in the Miami game) I see those two statements as fundamentally contradictory - if the elbow injury changed the mechanics he developed that led to improved accuracy, how could that not but affect him as a QB? Maybe the resolution is that actually, it did affect Allen's ability to throw the ball but he's determined to not say anything that can be interpreted as using his elbow as an excuse.

LabattBlue Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Diggs needs to control his public outbursts. Typical diva WR…when things are going great, no worries. As soon as I don’t get the ball enough…watch out. Anyone ever ask him why he takes himself out of the game so often? Edited January 23, 2023 by LabattBlue 2 1 Quote
Beck Water Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 Someone tried to get Josh to comment on GM-type stuff is he satisfied with the draft and FA commitment on the offensive side of the ball. Josh refused to "take the cheese" saying without hesitation "I love our guys, they battle their tails off" and that he just has to be the best QB he can be and trust the 10 guys on the field with him. 3 Quote

The guy is just sick of the same s**t happening just like us except he sees what's happening behind the scenes which makes you wonder how smooth sailing things really are within the organization.

FWIW, Diggs played 57 out of 63 snaps yesterday. 90%. Allen said: I'm sure someone might ask him, but he'd have to stay long enough after the game or show up and make himself available today for that to occur. Allen says "at the end of the day we have to be there for each other", which sounds like any outbursts of Diggs are water off his broad back and excused/forgiven, but at the end of the day, the point remains that when times are grim, those kind of outbursts don't seem like a constructive way of Diggs being there for Allen.

How would it go over him if everytime he didnt get separation Josh decided to scream in his face? He is only focusing on the plays where Josh doesnt see him, he isnt keeping in mind the times he didn't keep up his end of the bargain. Said it yesterday, there were 52 guys on the roster yesterday who were hurt, and they all are competitive. The difference between those guys and Diggs is they dont think they are more important than the other 52 guys. 4 minutes ago, TheBeaneBandit said: Probably so he doesn't kill someone lol.

How many guys in that building, including the coaches do you think like to lose? The team lost 4 of 18 games this year. Time to grow thicker skin and move on without pointing fingers. Every guy on that sideline could have done more to help win that football game, including #14. 1 Quote
Mango Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 1 hour ago, zow2 said: Sounds like Diggs has had it up to here with the playoff failures and meltdowns. Who knows what his future will be with this team. He wants to win a Championship now. His prime years are getting used up. He is nearing 30 with a top 5 QB. There is nowhere for him to go unless he decides to sign a new contract for a lot less money to go to one of the 3 or 4 teams that might be better than Buffalo. The Bengals can afford him but they have to pay Burrow and sign their guys. The Giants and Ravens can afford him but have major question marks at QB. So where is he going to go to not “waste away?” 2 1 Quote

If you remember Josh’s epic performance in the playoffs last year Vs KC very little was thrown to Diggs who was getting visibly upset that Davis was catching everything till Josh threw the 2 point conversion to him. He is a hothead Minnesota got tired of the guy for a reason. 2 minutes ago, Mango said: He is nearing 30 with a top 5 QB.

I think Allen doesn’t really care about the sideline stuff. They can get over that. But I do think saying “we just have to be there for each other” is a swipe at a guy who has refused to be around the last 21 hours. 1 Quote
BillsSbSoon Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Is diggs going to speak today? Where’s the captain now? One thing is for certain is that if we don’t get to where we want to go, he will not be playing out the rest of his contract here. It will boil over even further. We’re in a tough spot right now Edited January 23, 2023 by BillsSbSoon Quote
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Well the precedent has been established; Diggs is going to be a problem moving forward. He’ll be back, but his fuse is becoming a quicker burn. I have no issue with his frustration, but certainly have an issue with him bailing on his teammates after the game. What example does that send as a supposed leader. 1 Quote
