So, Diggs saw this coming, no?

[gobills404]

Did he also foresee that he wouldn’t make any big plays late in all these close losses?

[DuckyBoys]

just need a new hc and the offense to run the ball and not ask the qb to play perfect  Too much pressure on #17 and poor coaching is starting to affect the players

I guess I meant from the perspective of the Bills. We’ve already converted salary to bonus, and we’ve already accrued dead cap. There is no way to reduce that dead cap AFAIK.

 

He could make changes to his contract to make it more desirable for acquiring teams I guess, but he’s already pretty desirable. 

Diggs cap hits the next couple years make him unaffordable to many teams.

Yup, Diggs knew. We're in a lot of trouble here. Wondering if even Josh asks out. 

Josh better ask for a competent OFFENSIVE HC who's willing to invest in the offense.  McDermott makes me sick to my stomach.

Allen peaked with Daboll.  Brian could manage Josh's quirks.  There's absolutely no mentor or calming influence.  Dorsey is a child and McDermott has no clue what to do with Allen.  It was always Daboll.  Josh needs an offensive HC to salvage his 2nd half of his career.  Johnson, Harbaugh, Daboll, Bienemy.....somebody,  anybody but McDumbass.

I was with you until you mentioned Bieniemy.  That guy's a cancer.

Diggs is as much to blame as anyone for his QB having to focus on and answer for his drama queen antics.  Now his brother is stirring the pot for him.  Trade him to Carolina for a future 1st round pick.

I’m beginning to think trading him for 2 firsts and others and getting a QB and WR in the top 10 may not be a bad idea.  

I do wonder what sorts of assets Allen would fetch in a trade.

The only play I'll fault him for in this game was on the fumble where Josh dropped the ball instead of putting it in Cook's gut.  The fumble spilled out toward the right sideline, where Diggs had the best shot at it.  He dove so that he could have grabbed the ball with his right hand.  But the Broncos defender went for the ball like he really really wanted it, and Diggs lost out.  

 

He also had one target where the pass was pretty bad and still Diggs made a great effort to catch it, but couldn't make up for the poor throw.

I’m super happy with just going back to my roots, and just hoping that we make the playoffs somehow someway, it’s ok, it’s been a lackluster year. It really shouldn’t happen with the amount of money these guys get paid but it does. That’s ok. Life goes on. See you next week

Josh at this point seems like part of the problem. 

[LabattBlue]

What did Diggs have to say after the game?

This was my thought as the wheels come off this year. McDermott has clearly lost the locker room.

 

I have no idea how you destroy a great QB like that as well.

Allen isn't destroyed YET.  He has flashed way more good then bad this season.  In the hands of a competent coaching staff that is offensive minded and constructs a roster to exploit what Allen brings to the table he will shine. 

 

But Pegula better realize that the clock is ticking.  Another year of McD and Allen could be lost either by serious regression in his skills or he realizes that he will never win it all with the Bills and starts agitating to get out of Dodge.  Either way the Bills elite franchise QB will be "gone" right at the moment the Bills are opening that brand new stadium.

Diggs saw what coming? A 5-5 start with zero blow out losses?

He and most everyone else didn’t think they’d be blowing wins the way they are.

But the comment contradicts title of OP. Either Diggs saw this coming or didn’t. Which is it?

[Cheektowaga Chad]

This all stems from 13 seconds

 

The bills should have cleaned house then, it would have taken giant balls to do so but in hind sight that's when it 100% should have happened

He may well have but most of these losses have been on turn overs

Really makes you wonder.  All the off-season talk from the media(which I hate) about this team expected take a step back has come to fruition.

We’ve become spoiled the last few years but a team with Josh Allen at QB shouldn’t miss the playoffs.  There’s definitely a fundamental problem with the offense mainly Allen and Dorsey.
