I think he was wearing jersey #1 for the Texans, so you should revise your post to $1..........that's still more money than I would be willing to give to a guy who forced his way off the Bills, and probably never wanted to be there in the first place.

 

Hard pass.

 

I remember when I traveling for work and after 14+ hour day I'd get dinner. Occasionally I be at restaurant and once my server would not pay attention to me at all, get my order wrong when she put in order and then blame me for it even after I wrote it down because her communications skills were poor.  One dinner took 1.5 hours and then she was too busy talking with her friends (she had been sitting in booth for half hour) so I left cash on table - exact change - and put under a glass of water 2 pennies - one penny for the tip and one to say it was not an accident.

 

I saw in restaurant that she made no effort to clean tables so I knew the bus boy would pass on info that she was not doing her job. I was eating there quite regularly because it was close to my hotel and usually got takeout for it was easier to save leftovers to next day for lunch.  Next time I was in that restaurant I told the greeter I wanted to not be sitting at that waitress's table due to poor service and greeter apologized for it and said she is no longer working there.

 

2 cents would be perfect donation to give to that charity.

The good - Without him we don’t have the 2020 season we had where the Bills became what we are now.  Perennial contenders.  He has a massive place in Bills history.  
 

I had people tell me he’s a this and he’s a that because of how he left Minnesota.  I defended him and defended him thru his protest or whatever the hell it was in June of 2023.  Maybe we all wanted to believe he had a point about Dorsey?  Problems with Josh’s commitment in the off season?  
 

The bad - He basically gave us 2 and a half drama free seasons.  He was elite.  Then something happened.  We’re never going to know.  But not realizing - or maybe not giving a dam about what his legacy in this city was going to be or could have been and that he didn’t care really bothers me.  He looked like he quit after Dorsey was canned.  He looked disinterested.  You telling me he couldn’t do what Shakir or Coleman are doing?  
 

Looking back now, that sideline shoulder shrug and then his unwillingness to talk to the media after that Bengals game, followed up with him proceeding to be a malcontent all off season - in the aftermath of a teammate dying on the field should have told us all we needed to know about him.  
 

A teammate died on the field.  We played a terrible game 3 weeks later.  Season over.  And he vanishes.  Cryptic tweeting.  Usual nonsense.  After what the team went thru.  Just unacceptable for a captain and if he truly cared about the city and fans that doesn’t happen. 
 

He cares about Diggs first.  Ok fine.  
 

I appreciate the 2 and a half seasons.  I wish he wasn’t injured.  Hope you come back strong in Dallas.  

Excellent summary.

You said what I was thinking far more eloquently than I could have.

I wholly disagree that his knee injury is karma related. It’s just bad luck. Really bad luck, considering they restructured his contract into a one year deal. Buffalo winning the Super Bowl, after he forced his way out because he thought he couldn’t win a Super Bowl here, now THAT would be karma. 

in a way its bad luck but now days the nfl has such a high rate of knee injuries that in a position like Diggs its almost a case when, not If.

He was great for the Bills for 3.5 years. That catch and throw from JA 17 against the lions to set up a GW fg was unbelievable.

And that beautiful TD on the left corner of the Endzone against Arizona was vintage....too bad we lost on a hail mary

He knew cameras were across the street before he went to the hospital? 🙄

 

I'm not saying there's no reason to have resentment for how things went after the 2022 Playoff game until his departure. But let's not twist how he responded to the Hamlin situation into "it was just for the cameras" bc of it.

to be honest, who knows on this one… 

 

I haven’t found the succinct summation of how diggs operates. He does seem to care immensely about perception of him, but has a not particularly mature grasp on how to manage that perception. His day to day behavior and his public front he tries to put out are two different things. 
 

he’s plenty narcissistic- work hard play hard - and will clearly use people
 

he wants to be well liked

He wants to be the biggest star

 

 

he wants to curate an image. he struggles dealing with challenges to that and does the childish things when either of those are challenged or the two aren’t aligned (being well liked and the star). He ensures plausible deniability to preserve the image but will be insufferable to be around. 
 

did he go because he was the most emotionally invested or because he was “supposed to go”? Who knows… 

 

just like he started the bad guy act being stuck as WR2 in Minnesota- sitting in the shadow of JA17, the chiefs and mahomes…. And then even his own brother a bit… his luster wore off in Buffalo and it was time for cryptic comments and behind the scenes agitation again.
