He seemed awfully well behaved in Buffalo until recently. He was pretty well behaved in MN as well until they weren't winning that much and he wasn't getting the ball as much as he wanted. He is a bit of a diva, and it gets worse when he isn't getting what he wants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 As it stood the Vikings got JJ with the 1st rounder we received. Certainly an upgrade in every way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great talent, but a PITA. Seems like where WR's are concerned, the two go hand in hand more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once somebody starts being a pain in the ass it isn't usually reparable and they got a first rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Diggs also isn't wrong. The Bills played nowhere near their potential and he was frustrated. The Bengals came out and hit them in the mouth and kept hitting and nobody on the Bills fought back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it doesn't help and he should have handled himself better, but players get frustrated all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills played nowhere near their potential and he was frustrated. The Bengals came out and hit them in the mouth and kept hitting and nobody on the Bills fought back. If nobody fought back that includes Diggs, so he shouldn't be chirping at this teammates. Sounds like the QB and coach did a good job covering for Diggs who acted childish. They both stayed and took questions, he ran away so he wouldn't have to explain himself. Yes this happens a lot, doesn't mean it should be acceptable behavior. Doesn't matter if it some future HOFer or a the last man on the bench. Being a star player doesn't mean you can behave poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stormed out of the locker room and didn't talk to the media afterwards and he is a team captain. That's not great behavior. Spreading your arms wide and yelling at your QB during the game is not great. I understand the competitiveness and Diggs brings the intensity himself so I get his point but this can be pretty divisive in a locker room. It became a problem for the Vikings and it may well becoming a problem for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady, Jordan, Curry, and many other athletes do this. What tantrum is that? Frustrated about his coverage? That's all I can think of. Not all frustration is equal. Spreading your arms at your QB when you are down and people need to come together is not helpful. Leaving as a team captain after a loss and not manning up is not helpful. Fire is good, intensity is good, but it matters how you do it. I am sure the Bills will say it's fine, he's an intense guy, and maybe will be fine. But if things go south there's a good chance the same behavior happens. We see it differently, you see it as fire, and I see it as corrosive if not attended to.

In reference to the trade between the Vikings and Bills, it seems be a win-win. His emotion is understandable, but what's "wrong" about it is that this kind of frustration demonstration is tantamount to pointing fingers. Essentially Diggs is saying..."hey, it's not my fault we are losing", my QB isn't getting me the ball, I've done everything I could out here to get a W. IMO, it's just a bad look each and every time a player demonstrates his frustration in this manner. Whether he is right or wrong is irrelevant. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Calling out your QB on national TV and throwing him under the bus for not getting you the ball, is a bush league move. Some guys will use the "heat of the moment" excuse to get a pass for this behavior, but that's a load of BS. Find the self discipline to save it until your cleats hit the locker room floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
