All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Josh may be part of the cause that Diggs is off the Bills roster - Cover 1
Re: Josh may be part of the cause that Diggs is off the Bills roster - Cover 1
Wouldn't you all like to douse a couple with Josh Allen and get his full unvarnished opinion on this whole Diggs saga? Hard to trust a lot of these articles because the sources all have agendas.
Josh Allen cheated on his gf =. He's not focused on football.
I'll bite on that one if he's gaslighting a woman and chasing skirts he's not focused on football. Duh. He's not focused on anything. He's just not focused.
Probably why Josh went to Shakir after the 2:00 warning against the Chiefs instead of a wide open Diggs.
Beasley said Davis was one of the few dogs on the team - gone
Diggs - gone
No one left to challenge Allen's lack of commitment to the game now. All is good.
Spot on!!!!
I've been thinking exactly the same thing since the Diggs trade.
I have been steadfast in criticism of Josh Allen for forgoing the easy (and MUCH smarter) WIDE open Diggs instead of the a pass into the end zone, which, even if he makes it, leaves KC and Mahomes in a PRIME position of close to 2 minutes to play, two time outs and an opportunity to score a go ahead TD, and leave the Bills with zero time on the clock. No one in their right mind would think that is exactly what probably would have happened.
Classic Mahomes.
After Diggs inexplicably dropping a HUGE (and PERFECT DIME) pass at the start of that drive, and Diggs dismally bad performance dropping several passes, (8 targets, only 3 catches (37.5%) for 21 yards) in hindsight it's getting more and more obvious that Josh lost all faith in Diggs....and probably had enough of his diva bull****. (and his brother)
The first two+ years of their partnership was fantastic. They needed each other and complimented each other and made each other better players. 2022 started out well too with Diggs catching the most TD's with the Bills with 11.
UNTIL the loss vs Cincy.
Diggs' stat line for that game was atrocious....10 targets, 4 catches (40%) 35 yards.
Their relationship started to sour at THIS moment...
Diggs has been terrible vs the Chiefs in the playoffs. He disappears in the most critical games and the games that the Bills must win to gert over the hump.
It's obvious that Allen most absolutely "signed off" on trading Diggs. It's difficult to avoid the impression that Diggs and McD were at each other's throats.
Ownership and GM did what they had to do...choose Allen and McD over a diva WR who played like **** in the most critical games of his four years in Buffalo. His stats for all four playoff loses....
Good read, like I said in the other thread, nationally people in the know are killing Diggs.
BTW, this talked about the incident after the Bengals playoff game, I said then that McBean needed to take him to the woodshed or it would become a huge issue. Well it sure did. So long, can't wait to start seeing his crap in Houston.
His best game will be when they come to Buffalo this year.
I was going to post excerpts from this story....thanks for doing so.
The part that was so devastating (to Diggs) was this...
Trevon Diggs did his town crier impersonation after the Bills’ 24-22 home loss to the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football.” The Bills’ fourth defeat in six games floored them to 5-5, three spots out of the playoff picture.
Then, over the remaining seven regular-season games, Stefon Diggs caught only 34 passes for 315 yards and one touchdown, while Allen accounted for 1,896 yards of total offense, ran for 10 touchdowns and threw for eight more. Two sophomores, tailback James Cook and receiver Khalil Shakir, and rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid emerged as trustworthy weapons.
The Bills went 6-1, their lone loss at the Philadelphia Eagles in overtime.
Ouch!!!
The Bills and Josh Allen proved that they do not need cry baby Diggs to excel.
Re: Josh may be part of the cause that Diggs is off the Bills roster - Cover 1
I actually enjoyed Florio's story of Warren Moon/Chris Carter confrontation (around 15 min mark). "I feel ... Some times he (Josh Allen) goes thru life as an overgrown boy". Does that strike a cord with your perception of Josh?
We criticized Mahomes when he went to yell at his O-Line last year in plain view for millions watching TV. I know Josh never embarrassed his teammates like that. But maybe this is the kind of swagger Josh needs (even though not as accomplished as Mahomes): demand others to be accountable! And when you have that mindset, you know the first thing to do is to make yourself accountable.
Re: Josh may be part of the cause that Diggs is off the Bills roster - Cover 1
I'll add, though, that I watched Roethlisberger entire career in Pittsburgh. In his first half the career, Roethlisberger was like an overgrown boy. He got a super bowl early because the Steelers had a whole bunch of HoF leaders that kept him inline. But he definitely grew to the leadership role and helped Tomlin keeping some talented knuckle heads (far worse than Diggs) inline for sometime.
Re: Josh may be part of the cause that Diggs is off the Bills roster - Cover 1
What is Allen supposed to do? Like Simms said, if he gets up and gets in Diggs' face right back at him, Diggs blows up even worse and the situation escalates and everyone blames Josh for not handling Diggs better.
It's ridiculous. The amount of crap Diggs pulled and got away with is disgusting. Do you think Andre Reed ever talked like that to Jim Kelly? Do you think Eric Moulds ever talked that to Bledsoe?
No, they were professionals. I'm sure they had arguments and disagreements, but I can't remember a time where any of them had a temper tantrum during a playoff game on the sidelines because they didn't get the ball.

Even though I think it's not a good look on Allen that the best bud/star receiver's attitude got out of control, I'm looking forward to the team being all Allen's now. No dissenters. It shouldn't have ever come to this but trading Diggs now is the right move.
One thing I don't see brought up (maybe I missed it) was Diggs' sideline reaction after the Hamlin injury. I don't understand why he was so animated, attemoting to fire up the team to play, when everyone was focused on Demar (except Diggs?). Have you read anything about that?
Stefon Diggs has chosen a jersey number. He will wear No. 1 for the Texans, the team announced Thursday night. The receiver has worn No. 14 for his entire nine-year career during stints with the Vikings and the Bills. He presumably could have gotten No. 14 with the Texans since receiver Alex Bachman has it now. But putting Diggs in No. 1 creates symmetry for Houston, which has a 713 area code. Quarterback C.J. Stroud is No. 7, Diggs No. 1 and receiver Tank Dell No. 3.

You can tell that they weren't on the same page last year... Saw it in Dallas with Dak and Cooper at the end.
Diggs is: Aging, needs a new contract, has (perceived) attitude issues at times, was clearly not on the same page with Josh.The team is undergoing a soft rebuild right now... This is a win for the Bills.
Gotta love the self-proclaimed experts that keep throwing around the term "soft rebuild." Pat yourself on the back. But you sound stupid to people that can see what's going on. They had a salary purge because they were $47 million over the cap. They got rid of some oft-injured, over-paid vets that didn't get them to the big dance due to their contracts. Every other veteran not named Diggs adjusted their contract for the Bills. Then they dumped one player. Diggs, who is an overpaid, underachieving malcontent. THAT is not a rebuild Einstein. But keep telling yourself you're as smart as you think you are because you read the term "soft rebuild" while scrolling through X.

Dude you go about overhauling your OLine, Dline, Dbackfield and Receiver Room that is some form of rebuilding bantering about nomenclature is kinda silly.
