Stefon Diggs - “I watched the game five times”

[Success]

I've had a vision of Diggs catching the SB-winning catch with under a minute left for years now.

 

I still do.  He will not be a "haunted" player, like so many of our guys from the '90s.  He & JA will make it happen.

Geez, I’m afraid to say anything negative or will be labeled as poisonous, but something definitely seems off with him and Josh.  These guys are professionals but still pretty young and in a league where every little thing can matter, not having QB1 and WR1 on same page could be troublesome. They are both amazing at what they do but it does seem like chemistry is off some.  Go Bills

I love Diggs but I think his refusal to affirm the team is sending the message to Bean, McDermott, Dorsey, and Allen to get it together. No more excuses next year. He is obviously frustrated and losing patience. It’s typical grumpy WR behavior. Winning solves all problems. Those who are farthest from the center are the most vocal.

I think you are just confusing Diggs with John Taylor.

His comments about a creative OC head coach were much more revealing.  
 

 

I’ve watched these interview replays all day. 
 

He’s no longer impressed with our staff - if there is a takeaway it’s that. 
 

Not that he thinks they aren’t good coaches or trash. 
 

But he probably feels you need an offensive OC to get this all right.

I think he knows the coaches don’t have it.  
 

His “it’s been 3 years” response to getting over the hump is pretty telling. 
 

He could have said “I trust the staff to get it right or where we need to be.”

 

 

I’m not going to defend him.  I’m not going to call this disruptive either or that he’s a problem.

 

I am going to say this staff was finished the second that 13 seconds happened.  

Don't project your own insecurities onto him.

Lol wut?  
 

We’ve all seen the same interviews. 
 

We all know how this team has finished every year since he’s been here.  
 

Now I’m giving you an analysis like everyone else that is paying attention to Diggs and what the hell they think he is thinking.  
 

None of it means he wants out.  None of it means he should be traded.  I’m not even sure it means we must fire McD or whoever.  
 

I’m telling you he’ll play.  He’ll ball out.  But deep down he thinks it’s probably over - the best opportunity to win is over.  And in my opinion he thinks the coaches blew it.  
 

Did he endorse the Dorsey hire?  Did he think Dorsey was a great idea in theory but the biggest concern for a newb would be the biggest moments in the biggest game?  Well, that happened.

I have a feeling (3 and out) that Diggs is going to demand a trade.

He just does not seem positive in any way about the team or the team's future and that was a weird statement about if the team sends him somewhere it wouldn't be KC.  Does that interviewer actually work for SI?  I don't usually comment about these kinds of things, but she was really bad.

He can go the QB the Bills have made Gabe Davis look like Jerry Rice last year and Diggs wasn’t doing this in Minnesota. If he hates playing with Josh so much wait until he plays with Dakota Prescott. 
 

[In Summary]

Let's get an OL, WR2, and less of the "chuck it" offense. Winning will make Mr. Diggs happy again

How can it be fixed? You have confidence that Dorsey will make the right calls, have a nice game plan, and make game time adjustments?

 

Will the Oline be better? Will the running backs play well? Will they establish a run game that makes the pass game better? Will they throw to the backs? 

 

Huge question marks at WR. Who steps up? 

 

Is it all on Allen again to produce? What kind of support does he get? 

 

Lots of questions on offense. 

 

Defense has equally a lot of question marks too.

 

This off season looks to be crucial. Is it likely a start of a regression or a reset to move forward and progress further? 

 

Hard for me to have a lot of trust in a Dorsey led O and a Fraizer led D. Just shaking my head in disbelief. 

My only thought here is Allen now is certainly getting paid enough to produce, and an improvement in our offense could simply be made with better play design and calling, plus Allen making better decisions. If we actually gave him a better line and another top weapon it would be crazy….

[Bills!Win!]

I can see the Bills being desperate and pulling an LA Rams by throwing all their chips in. 
 

Somehow Beane is going to work some magic by resigning Poyer for 1 year and Edmunds on a discount (see Milano) and we will get OBJ or some explosive receiver and some veteran O-lineman and then after we win the superbowl it’ll be a mini rebuild. Beane knows how to work the salary cap

I think what you’re talking about was this past 2022 season…except we didn’t win…

I agree. I'd ask why doesn't Allen have a better line and top weapons?

I'm sure he's probably aware of the dead cap hit we take if we do and that's why he also knows he's not going to be traded.

I’m fully aware of who else that slighted. Not taking anything away from Reed but Diggs is better.

Please explain why u think Diggs is better then Reed?  Do u realize Reed was #2 all time in Wr yards when he retired? He also was #1 in playoffs & Super Bowl until Rice beat him out in 95. He was one of the best ever at YAC & also one of the greatest blocking WRS in the history of the game.

Reed gave us some wonderful moments like the Oilers greatest comeback game with 3tds and nearly 150yds there was many more great games to many to keep track of. 

I still remember being in the crowd vs the Dolphin’s when broke there backs in the 4th quarter on Sunday night football scoring a 83yd TD what was the best thing about that TD he turned around at around the Dolphins 40yd line running backwards while mocking the Dolphins D!  
 

You can have your opinion I respect it but Diggs is nowhere near Andre Reed in the history of the Bills.

Seeing Diggs' extreme reaction to these last three gut-wrenching playoff losses, I'm worried that he becomes a malcontent. I know he's a professional but if he's unhappy it'll probably affect his play. I remember the Sabres' star Mogilny was unhappy with the team and he personally started tanking to force a trade.

Don't think we'd ever see that from Diggs.  He's too much of a competitor.  When he's on the field, his goal is to embarrass the DB across from him.  He loves the trash talk and when he's not getting the ball, he can't do that.  That's one of the reasons he was so upset in the Cincy game because Eli Apple was talking trash to him all game and Diggs couldn't shut him up because he wasn't getting the ball.
