I have no interest in wasting time proving water is wet.

 

And yes, I swim circles around you intellectually.

no...you're just a liar.  you called me out on something i didn't do.  of all people on here, if you could prove what you stated...you would.  you can't so you're trying your best to deflect.  this thread has been a bit embarrassing for you, and i'm not sure you even realize it.

Yea.. I'm at about 99% this is an Allen/Diggs thing, with the added potential of Diggs might feel slighted by the organization's handling of it behind the scenes, given they are never going to go at an elite QB1 too heavy handedly.  

I'm also certain that Diggs who wants to win, would obviously be frustrated if Josh's focus was elsewhere; which I am clearly certain it was. 

 

To hold this for 5 months though and it seems apparent that they didn't try during the offseason leads me to believe the rift is a fairly wide chasm. I would make the assumption that everytime Diggs saw in the news or on Twitter about Josh doing XYZ had to frost his ass even more. I would assume the Madden cover would even add to it, if he felt Josh wasn't preparing enough...it builds and builds

One of my best friends heard it directly from a former player who played with Josh. 

I heard a similar story back in early December from someone whose cousin works for the Bills.  I mean I am not saying it’s not out there.  There’s just too many versions of it and there should be a high threshold of proof for something like that.

off the topic but does anyone have a copy of the 98 jets at bills december 19th game?  I really would like to rewatch it....

There is someone who is in need of a revelation, but it's not me.

Thinking about it from a different angle, if diggs is trying to bring everyone on the team up to his level

of commitment, as mad as we all are at him right now honestly it could be a great thing at the end of the day if and when they get this sorted out. They could come together more motivated than ever. We need the Al Pacino speech from any given Sunday right now

This narrative fits with McD's comments that he's seen a "new Josh" this offseason- which I thought was a bizarre comment to make.  Also with Josh saying that he's never been this locked in.  Like what was the situation before?  Disappointing.

You have to realize that what Beane and McD put out in interviews is meant for players as well. They have known what this issue is all along and controlling the messaging to Diggs is very likely part of it.

What is the practice and media schedule for today? 

It feels like if Diggs were in the building the PR machine would have likely put something on one of their socials to maybe calm it down? Or maybe keep media presence to a minimum and hope this loses steam? 

 

Nothing in 23 hours. Yesterday I had a schedule of pressers before the day started.

Practice is at 1215. McDermott is not scheduled to speak today.

This thread has turned into more melodramatic soap opera than ever.  You can take whatever stance you want, express if as you have a friend of a neighbor of a bill player as "proof".

The stance that should be taken is simply laughing at these millionaire athletes and appreciating the entertainment value of their faux drama. Would you rather waste time reading about this or how, say, Elam is getting less reps than Benford?

I'd rather be reading about how the offensive line is going to end up and about the defense.

Bingo! Real Boyfriends of Buffalo is the best show going at this moment.

I’m willing to speculate on everything and anything football related or Diggs thoughts on the coaches, game plans, and his role.  

 

Speculation on who these guys are sleeping with and if that’s the cause for any rift is ridiculous and not worth our time.  

 

Reminds me of the crap and nonsense with Ted Nolan, Hasek, and Peca.  

It might not be worth your time, but it is apparently worth a lot of posters time.  Some of the speculation is bordering on the downright laughable/absurd.

Ok for those joining late I will provide a recap of all information known from all sources. 

 

Last year before the Bengals game Josh Allen cheated on his long time girlfriend with a barmaid. Knocked her up. Then had a confrontation with his ex at 3am the night before the Bengals playoff game leading to a poor performance (on the field not in the bedroom).

 

Diggs was angered by this because he's a competitive guy. Around the same time Allen allegedly slept with (and impregnated) one of Stef's friends wives. Then went on to have some down time with one of Stef's ex's. 

 

MEANWHILE: Diggs feels like he has no say in the offense and wishes Ken Dorsey would stop being mean and get him the ball more. He's also cheesed off that the Bills didn't do enough to help him and take the pressure off him while also being offended that the Bills flirted with bringing in DHop...who Im sure didn't sign here because our QB can't keep his putter in his pants.

 

After the season everyone went their separate ways for 5 months. But they had conversations. Of course they also didn't speak at all. Stef did photo shoots. Allen was on the red carpet sleeping with movie stars and playing golf. Von was rehabbing and making statements of grandeur about Beane signing every player that made an all pro team since 1994.

 

Also happening at the same time Chad Hall took a lateral move to Jacksonville because he was passed over for promotion and Diggs didn't like that. Unconfirmed is if Hall took the position to keep his wife as far away from Allen's unchecked Talley whacker as possible. 

 

It all boils over yesterday when Diggs reported to the team with the intent to practice...yet somehow left before practice. I believe McDermott said something about being "very concerned" that out out of control sex freak of a QB was targeting his wife next(citation needed). 

 

Also, no one saw these issues coming. Except for Jerry Sullivan who was clued into the issues before they even happened by Ryan Fitzpatrick (he did go to Harvard). And 95% of the board has no clue what "cap" means in modern slang.

Do you even read this? It's the same story everyone tells. They all trust their source with their life. I heard it from my sister. I trust her and she would never lie to me, but it doesnt mean she really knows anything about it. She doesnt. But everyone up there was SUPER EXCITED to spread it.

 

edit: The idea that Josh could have so much paparzzi following him last offseason, and with social media, and the fact that ANY sports media would jump all over this story, but somehow EVERYONE has managed to keep it a secret but yet EVERYONE still "knows" it, should be enough to prove it's total BS. ESPN would be all over this. And with so many people talking about it, we can be sure more than one sports jounalist has dug into it. But we have nothing real presented so far.

 

Cmon yall.

i do not discredit anything you're saying. i think josh is a bona fide celeb in WNY and a lot more scrutiny is done of him than just an ordinary player.but the local media was mum on both doug whaley being a drunk d-bag and russ brandon being a ladies man hitting on anything that walked by.  this was right during the rise of the #metoo movement and ultimately was discovered by the Pegula's.

 

i remember talking to a few girls when i'd go out in buffalo while visiting (back when i was single) and it was well known to some of these ladies that Brandon was out there with young co-eds, etc. there were two girls in particular from grand island everyone knew about. WNY still has some good ol' boy backwoods type stuff going on.

I understand your point, but Actually I would rather read for REAL FOOTBALL reasons why Elam is getting less reps then Benford.  Now that I would fine interesting and potentially value added.  What I am reading here is soap opera speculation/garbage.

I too have posted happy pictures in toxic relationships. 

 

Firebaugh is a town of 8,000 people. Josh knew Brittany because their families are very good friends. Josh has changed the dynamics of his parents relationships with their friends. Friends they had before Josh and Brittany got together. 

 

what the actual flying %#$@ are you talking about bro....
