Tulsabillsfanz Posted January 22 Posted January 22 4 minutes ago, Peter said: Diggs is a shadow of himself. He has been playing like a middling WR since about week 10. Unless he is hurt and that is the reason why he has been so poor, we are stuck with a horrible contract. He is supposed to have hurt his foot. His problem tonight was his hands. He dropped 2 big passes. He also fumbled one one of his few catches. 1 Quote
Murdox Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Diggs is an elusive route runner and very good at finding space in zones, but he doesn't really have the elite speed or physicality to get consistent separation against many of the top corners of opposing defenses when in man defense. We need to find that #1 so Diggs can shift over to #2. 1 1 1 Quote
Danger Mouse Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I thought this was a bs post at first, but i was wrong. he really was poor today. big game players are supposed to show in big games and he didn't. we've had his family criticising the team mid season. and, as someone said elsewhere, forcing the ball to him cost us easy games this year yeah, i owe the OP an apology. he was right and i was wrong. diggs really hasn't delivered this season - not as a player nor as a captain 1 Quote
QB Bills Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Loved his attitude and fire but you have to back it up on the field. He came up with his worst game in only the biggest game of the year. In retrospect, he just looks like a loud mouthed idiot on the sidelines. Edited January 22 by QB Bills 1 Quote
DapperCam Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I'm kind of hoping that we hear about some injury Diggs has been nursing since mid-season that he can recover from. Because otherwise he's cooked, and he has a huge cap hit that we can't get out of because it's already had salary converted to bonus to reduce cap a couple times. Quote
Saint Doug Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Beane’s biggest mistakes have been his contract restructurings. He’s done it with Diggs and Miller and countless others. Now there’s no easy out from either one. Quote

We’re not winning with them so the rationale is to just hold on to them for contractual reasons? Cut them and just put back ups or young rookies in. 1 Quote

I don’t know but you do realize that there is a salary cap and cutting Diggs and Miller would mean a very large cap hit (not just their yearly salary) would have to be overcome. Quote
ProcessImproverMan Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Diggs better keep his damn mouth shut this off-season. Bitched about not getting the ball and then routinely drops passes and screws up. Dude ate massive crow with his crap tonight 1 4 Quote
SoCal Deek Posted January 22 Posted January 22 The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Cut the roster dead weight, take the financial hit and move on. 1 Quote

Sometimes you're the Rams and it works. Most of the time it doesn't. Now we're stuck with some bad contracts for guys who may still be productive (Diggs is, and I actually believe Miller will be next year) but are clearly in their decline phases. Quote
GoBills! Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I think diggs has a lingering injury wouldn’t be surprised if he needs some sort of surgery in the off season. Quote

You don't cut a player of value, and Diggs has value I can see the argument that you take your medicine for a year and deal him and take the cap hit if it nets you something of real value back, but I'm not cutting our best WR by far for nothing except cap space the year after next. That's insanely stupid Quote
HappyDays Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Just can't have this from your #1 WR. And I'd like to say it is a new problem, but Diggs has disappeared in all of our playoff losses. Diggs has been a #1 until this year but he is not a true alpha physical #1 like Hill, Jefferson, Brown, etc. We need to strive for better. 1 Quote
Goin Breakdown Posted January 22 Posted January 22 He can spend the off season working on catching the ball. That's about all in are to say about him. Shut up and play better. Quote
