Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 15 Posted December 15 It might make me sound insane but I’d take Diggs back next year. You know he’s going to be way more affordable and he knows the offense. The guy is a top 3 WR in the history of this organization. If he wanted to and Josh wanted him back, I’d be all for it. You come in and play your role. You are no longer the A1 option but if he wanted to come in and play alongside of Keon? I’m good. Assuming Cooper isn’t back obviously 1 7 3 3 Quote

The beginning of the end was in Cincinnati when he was literally the only player on the team who gave any effort. Add a carousel of OCs and an inept HC to the mix and I don’t think he was a dumbass at all. No one played harder during his entire tenure in Buffalo. Let's start at the bottom and work back. Disagree no one played harder during his entire tenure. The OL...Beasley...Davis (results didn't always match but effort was there)....Milano...Taron Johnson just for a few. Hyde and Poyer, always going hard. Then there was the Steelers playoff game last year where he fumbled the first catch of the game, leading to a penalty as Kincaid alertly batted it out of bounds...he was taking himself off the field and sometimes half assing his routes when the play design didn't come to him. And he wasn't exactly a terror as a downfield blocker. Disagree he was "literally the only player on the team who gave any effort" in the Bengals playoff game. 4 receptions on 10 targets for 35 yards? Those weren't all uncatchable balls. He was given his opportunities, maybe too many opportunities instead of taking the underneath shots, and he didn't come through. Josh Allen laid it all on the line. There was not a "carousel" of OCs. He had Daboll for 3 years, then Dorsey for a year and a half. That's actually less turnover than most teams. You're entitled to your opinion that Diggs was not a dumbass. I think he's probably pretty smart, myself, but I also think he's a card-carrying narcissist and wants the name of leader when times are good, without actually doing the heavy lifting a true leader does in hard times. 4 4 Quote

If Diggs eats crow and realizes the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and also says “yes I understand I’m 3rd/4th option now” etc etc. But that’s just not Diggs. Never will be Diggs. That’s also not Trevon and as soon as Stefon doesn’t hit 500 yards in 5 games how soon before Trevon posts about how his brother should join a real time like the 2-3 cowboys. I’m over the circus.

I don’t see Josh changing his mind now that he sees how an offense can perform when you don’t have one guy demanding the ball no matter what. 1 1 1 Quote
HappyDays Posted Monday at 10:49 PM Posted Monday at 10:49 PM These snippets from Mike Silver's article in the Athletic are pretty interesting: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5997141/2024/12/16/josh-allen-bills-lions-mythical-play?source=user-shared-article Quote If Allen seems unencumbered — “Free,” as one Bills coach puts it — there’s a good reason for that. When the Bills traded star wideout Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans last April, it left them without a marquee receiver, but it made Allen’s workplace reality a lot smoother. According to several Bills sources, the once close connection between Allen and Diggs began to fray late in the 2022 season. Diggs wanted to be targeted more frequently and chafed when Allen didn’t get him the ball. Allen, in turn, became frustrated by the receiver’s penchant for freelancing, believing he couldn’t count on Diggs to be where he was supposed to be on certain routes. All of this led Allen, who some of those same Bills sources describe as a “pleaser,” to feel compelled to force the ball to Diggs. Allen also tried to make sure he delivered an ample amount of balls to Buffalo’s No. 2 receiver, Gabe Davis, with whom he was close. Davis signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent last March. Now, Allen simply goes through his reads and finds the open man — or, when no one’s open, uses his exceptional athleticism and improvisational ability to buy time until he finds someone open. “Josh is soooo much more relaxed,” another Bills coach said. “Before, with all the drama, it was like he became exhausted.” As a result, what was once Allen’s stigma — forcing the ball, being reckless and committing costly turnovers — has been all but erased. He has thrown just five interceptions in 14 games, with two lost fumbles. 5 4 1 Quote

Pretty fitting end he dropped that wide open deep shot and unheralded MVS made a couple much more difficult plays for the chiefs Quote
zow2 Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Moral of the story, for the rest of Josh’s career with the Buffalo Bills, there will be no more Diva WR’s in the locker room. They are toxic and not needed here. 3 1 Quote
