I need answers.  What happened here?

There's a video out there with Josh describing a situation where he and his younger brother had a heated exchange during a basketball scrimmage, ending with Josh's brother throwing a punch and giving him a black eye then Josh driving off and stranding his brother at their highschool.  His mom freaked out and called her oldest daughter: "Oh, they'll be fine.  They're best friends.  They'll hug it out."

 

When you're an uber competitive alpha male, evidently brotherhood looks a bit...Different.

Of course, this won't get reported on or talked about outside of Buffalo.

 

You can't go to a national Bills article or hear them talked about on TV or podcasts without hearing about how the "Diggs issue" is going to set the Bills back this year.

doesnt work

Sounds like Diggs was upfront and honest and said everything that needed to be said. The guy just wants to win, he wants to be the best WR in the league, hard not to admire. When things go foul it’s easy to lose your cool no matter who you are. He is human and a fierce competitor who has busted ass to get where he is.

 

I do believe this is truly water under the bridge, for now. It’s time to win a damn Super Bowl!

[Nephilim17]

Don't have time right now to watch the 20-minute press conference.

 

Sal's snippets sound very encouraging, especially as Stef was totally "transparent."

Can anyone here offer a quick thought on whether this is truly closure and that we can feel like Stef is happy to be a Bill and play with Josh? I think the answer is yes, but I'd like to hear someone here who watched the whole thing say it.

Cheers.

I thought it was a great discussion, seems very genuine that that's what went down but I still don't understand Sean McDermott's comments about being "very concerned", if he has an open door policy then those comments just don't add up but i liked everything Diggs had talked about, I think it's 1 of those love/hate relationships with him but that's just my opinion.

[BigDingus]

I think all of us fans can understand exactly where he's coming from.

 

The stuff that gets under people's skin are the cryptic social media posts & letting speculation brew far too long. Everyone appreciates keeping it in house, but when you post the cryptic messages for millions to see, it inevitably leads to people making their own assumptions.

 

That just opens the door for teammates & coaches to take on additional heat, and staying silent (or amplifying it with more Tweets) for months, doesn't exactly scream "keeping it in house." 

 

Anyway, still love the guy, still glad he's a Bill, and still support him 100%

In hindsight and from a place of calmness, McDermott's comments did a lot to raise concern.

My guess is that McDermott was right off the heels of a heated convo that didn't go too well from his POV and was speaking from the heart.

after this my read is diggs said some things that mcdermott took offense to, sent him home, and then went in front of the media and lost his head w the 'very concerned' line

 

bad look

I wouldn't bet the farm that the script didn't go the other way  - that McD said some things that Diggs took offense to and Diggs left in a snit, leaving McD concerned.

In reality, I imagine it went both ways

Why would McDermott be picking a fight w Diggs first day of minicamp after not having seen each other all summer

It sounds like Diggs was still pretty upset about the way last year ended. Do you think it’s impossible he wasn’t on his best behavior?

[benderbender]

Good. Of the people who cashed in the “delayed onset emotional exhaustion” excuse, Diggs isn’t one of them. He’s pissed about the team not meeting his expectations. That’s the mindset we need this season.

do you think its within the reasonable scope of being HC to be able to diffuse a pretty upset wideout w out causing a national media frenzy

I don't think McDermott would be "picking a fight" but let's flip the question.

 

The last time McDermott saw Diggs, he was seen screaming at Josh Allen on the sideline then rushing down the tunnel before McDermott addressed the team and having to be hauled back by a PS RB. 

 

Do you honestly feel that's behavior McDermott wouldn't feel the need to address with a player?
