so you think it's between him and management and not Allen?

 

I mean...that would be a huge relief imo

Diggs has proven he’s willing to watch the place burn if things happen that he doesn’t like. The scale from McBeane/Dorsey is bad to worse. None are a good option. Better is still very bad based on what Diggs is willing to do.

Go Bills!!

It looks like Diggs blocked the Buffalo Bills on IG

Expand  

He just removed them from his followers. There’s no way to tell if he blocked them or just removed them. There’s a difference.

I believe the only team Diggs follows is the Cowboys. 
 

As far as IG goes you can just remove followers. You don’t have to block them. 

Expand  

Yeah, but if you remove people, do their "likes" disappear too? I know when you block someone it is, but I am not sure what happens when you remove a follower.

the Bills are no longer following him.

 

so their official account either unfollowed him (seems unlikely!!) or he blocked them

I think the offense can still function at a Super Bowl level even if Diggs isn't getting along w the staff

 

but I don't think the team can compete if he and Allen can't get along anymore

Only Diggs himself or the people running the Bills IG account would know if he blocked them. There's no way for anyone else to know.

Also, I am listening to Muki Hawkins right now, and he already stated he knows what went down, and his podcast is very Ken Dorsey centric and sounding like Dorsey is the issue in this drama.

Expand  

A post that makes sense!  The issue likely centers around his perceived lack of being the focal point of the offense, as well as his wanting more input in the game planning.  Makes sense that’s the conversations he’s been having in his meetings with team brass.

No. Log into your IG. Check your followers. All of them have the option to “remove” along the right side.

Maybe you know more about IG than I do then.  The Bills official account also shows they aren’t following him though?

Rebuilding in we need a few more years. We are not going to win next year. Hence no Hopkins or other bigger moves. 
 

The O improvement is debateable. Nothing we have not done in other years. Harris, Harty, Sherfield, McGov, Kincaid, etc are not sure thing, pro bowl player signings. We are hopeful they work out but are the sane level as Saffold, Crowder, E Sanders, OJ Howard, Quiss, and more. 
 

Doesn’t mean it won’t work and we have a solid year. Just seeing the other side that could see these not moving the needle. Hopkins to the Bills and they are likely Super Bowl favorites and the talk is how are you going to stop them. Quite different than the I like what they did and think they could be better. 

Expand  

I'd have to disagree with the O improvements.  None of them are rock stars for sure but I do think that they are at worst, at the same level as the people they are replacing.

 

Sherfield is the only one I will contest.  He had less targets and 4 less games started but still put out the same amount of yards (5 less yards actually but who cares that much).  TD's were less for Sherfield but when you have Hill and Waddle as your primary receivers you aren't going to get much.

You can remove accounts as followers on IG.  You don’t have to block them to do that. 
 

Not that it isn’t petty and ridiculous either way.

That’s fair. I think Diggs is likely gone next year post June 1 and we try and patch this thing up. 
 

It feels all but guaranteed that Diggs won’t see this contract out in Buffalo.

impr0ved 0ffensive line, running backs and drafted a weap0n at tight end.

 

if he is mad ab0ut that he is 100% ab0ut himself and n0t the team.

 

 

Expand  

OL = band aid application; RB= who cares; TE?  Might help probably won't see the ball much as he's a rookie and Mcdermott is a scared, conservative guy when it comes to playing rookies.  Relative to the improvements our main rivals have made, we've gone backwards this off-season.

Diva has had enough. Trade him to a team that can win the Super Bowl. He sort of deserves it.

again. He cannot be traded due to massive dead cap hits

Diggs is a narcissist attention seeker. He wants the power of influence that a franchise QB gets. He’s becoming an embarrassment and showing zero leadership. The Vikings are likely smiling.
Sure the OC isn’t perfect nor is Josh. But, this O is about as set up for him to succeed as any possible team in the league. In his utopia he would play with his brother, and the slightly above average Dak. Sure 👍

Neither side has wiggle room as his asked for and received contract is unforgiving from a trade perspective. Time for Diggs to grow up. He’s going nowhere and I don’t think the Bills are gonna tolerate a whole lot more.

They better have a plan to replace that production then. But yeah it was a long shot he played out that extension even without the drama.
