There are a lot of players over the years that have missed a practice, and I don't recall anywhere near the level of vitriol on display here. Oh I agree. It’s a business. The only way players can protest is by missing practice. Quote

The two people who own the least amount of blame are Allen and Diggs, they should be mad at everyone else In what way is this responsive to my post and the point I was making in it? Thanks. Quote

Well he’s here for the foreseeable future so maybe find a new team too new guy. Who cares if he's new here? WTF is that crap? Quote

I don't think Allen should take blame for Diggs choice to skip out on mandatory minicamp, but I also don't think Allen saying there are things he could have done better, is appropriately described as "taking blame" 1 Quote

Huge numbers of Bills fans on this forum, for some reason, only view the Bills as a vehicle for feeling good. The moment the whole thing is no longer a wonderful, fun, joy ride, they run away. This is really weird, b/c I have never actually run into such sports fans in real life. Most Bills fans you bump into and chat a bit with are sensible, probably a bit cynical, and realistic. Here, it's a really odd group of people predominating the forum. Edited June 13, 2023 by Nextmanup 1 Quote

newcam2012 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Hopefully, Diggs will be ready to play and not be a distraction come game time. The Bills really need the best Diggs to compete for the SB. Quote

Says Allen takes some blame for Diggs, why in the hell is Allen taking any responsibility for what’s happening with the diva? He’s not taking any sort of blame for Diggs skipping out today. He’s taking blame for falling short in the playoffs again. Quote
Capco Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 7 hours ago, jletha said: I cant possibly understand what in the world Diggs could be protesting. He signed a new deal last year, hes on a top 3 offense with a top 3 QB. Whats the angle here? He wants to be traded...to where? He wants more money...based on what? Cut bait and sign Hopkins if this gets any uglier. He wants attention. Quote
Mat68 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Communication is key in every walk of life. Diggs hasnt talk to the organization in months now its a cluster. Beane and Mcdermott are pretty thorough guys. Internally, the team has faced and tried answering some of the things Diggs is concerned about. Whatever Diggs is looking for imo he is handling it terribly. You can not come in after the offseason is practically over and ask for changes. Makes zero sense. Quote

Took over the Lakers, and got them over the hump too. Pat Reilly took over the Heat mid-season & won a title after Van Gundy was forced out. It's worked multiple times in the NHL. Arians took over in Tampa and won with Brady. Just because it didn't work when Ralph acted like a clown doesn't mean it wouldn't ever be a good choice. Quote

I am not hijacking this thread with this comment, but that is where "journalism" overall is today. Poor headlines all over the place... I agree with your comment Quote

Or is it entirely possible that he has a legitimate beef with some thing and this is pretty much the only way he can show his displeasure outside of requesting a trade? Do we know if any conversations were had over the off-season about this how did the bills staff let it get to this point if so? They had an entire off-season to do something and help ease the storm a little bit yet here we are. I’m in the Camp of all parties probably share blame Quote
