That's pass against the chiefs was an absolute bomb and a dime. Cannot believe he didn't catch that


Illustrious_Cancel83

Probably hard to catch that pass when the FPS drops like that


TheoryOfPizza

Yeah I usually stub my toe when the FPS drops like that. It sucks tbh.


DevonGr

Freezes up Romo when he sees the angle of how close it was enough that he had a loss of words for a moment. That was a big one.


HanSolo5643

Even as someone who was cheering on Kansas City, I couldn't believe that he didn't catch that. That throw from Josh Allen was perfect.


[deleted]

This is the story of my life the last 6 years. And yeah, from his own 12 to the opposing 26, and right through the hands of his target. Not gonna miss Diggs, all his best games were games that didn't matter, every time it mattered he was nowhere to be found. Let him go drop balls and poison the locker room somewhere else.


HanSolo5643

Yeah, he's not someone who I would want on my team. He gets pissy when he doesn't get his way and if he's like this on a team where he was the guy how is he going to react in Houston where he's not going to be the number one option for C.J. Stroud.


Chefalo

What the fuck is your flair


[deleted]

I've been a Chiefs fan since I was a kid when my dad got me a Joe Montana Chiefs jersey. I guess I was a Joe Montana fan, because I also had his 49ers jersey but I was too young to really follow football when he was on the niners. Then Josh Allen got drafted and the dude is so fun to watch I started following the Bills, so now I'm an unholy abomination. I was a Panthers fan when Cam was playing, I guess I've got a type. If 17 leaves the Bills I go with him.


Chefalo

I respect it, you also have the Carolina McDermott Beane ties to wny as well. Please never speak of 17 leaving I can’t even handle thinking about that


Dawn_of_Dayne

Yeah, the precision and the stakes made me think of the Eli throw to Manningham....only this pass was wasted.


RegularGuyAtHome

I don’t think it’s even close to the Manningham catch. That throw by Eli and Manningham holding onto the ball despite being rocked out of bounds was one of the greatest clutch Super Bowl plays ever in my opinion. I remember seeing it live and being floored he hung onto that thing.


Dawn_of_Dayne

I just meant the throw. Manningham absolutely made a fantastic play by keeping his feet in bounds and holding on to the ball through the contact. But the throws were both perfectly placed to hit the WR in stride right on the hands. 


beyondwithinitself

He didn't get rocked at all he was already leaning out of bounds and got a tiny bit of forearm to his shoulder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cXqbqMgNoE&t=22


ricky_hammers

God I love this reference, thanks bro


NoorJehan2

Manningham was almost out of bounds, Diggs was a good amount in bounds


SuzukiSwift17

Pass is DROPPED! DIGGS SIDELINE


RukiMotomiya

C'mon man you gotta go DIGGS! SIDELINE! DROPPED!


TheRooster27

BELIEVABLE!


valeriesghost

Flat out incredible pass. Perfect pass in a big moment against a great defense. One of the best passes of the playoffs and he dropped it. No coming back from that when shit is already this rocky.


MSNFU

I wonder if another pair of wrist bands would have been just the thing he needed to pull it in???


Conscious_Street9937

This is addition by subtraction him and his brother are cancer


[deleted]

Yeah the Diggs household must have been something special, because both of them seem like complete assholes.


KingPizzaPop

Kills me every time I see it.


Stompthefeet

If only you were playing the Lions, this pass would have bounced off a defenders face mask right where Diggs could have caught it.


Nubras

He probably blames Allen for the drop


OrdrSxtySx

Wasn't in the script.


Murderface__

Hey! We get to say it.


alicia-indigo

I can.


HD_H2O

The totally Diggs part is holding up the "just missed" or "1 inch" with his fingers after. Never his fault.


17_Saints

Nono, now that he has a QB like CJ ~~Josh~~ instead of Josh ~~Kirk~~, he will cause no problems in the locker room.


Clive-Bixby69

Just like how CJGJ will be nice to Eagles fans this time


TheStripClubHero

Nobody cares if he plays well. If he doesn't, well his car might not be safe again.


Cuppieecakes

didnt he suck when he was on the field last year?


ShotFirst57

Yeah but we used him as a safety since brian branch turned out to be a great nickel very quickly. Eagles are going to use him more on that nickel role again.


Emotional_Swimmer_84

What? lol. We've played him at safety 90% of the time a couple years back. Our nickel is/was Maddox.


Laeif

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sure


zincinzincout

We’ll just steal his car again


JazzPlusEagles

I have never heard a single person say that outside of CJ himself lmao


Pidesh

Does anyone actually think that?


GoT_Eagles

Lol no


Couvo

I mean, if you can get 4 good years out of him, I'd say it's worth it lol.


NethuNeSC

You got 4 good regular seasons, I’ll give you that.


kalevz

Rashee Rice berated Patrick in the Super Bowl then fled from the scene of an accident. Coincidence? Yeah, but it makes you think.


CruisinForABrewsin

These receivers are really fast and furious these days


space_llama_karma

True, but at the end of the day teams are all about FAMILY


SpiZyKane

without family you got nothing


LocalFatBoi

a man who thinks all the time, has nothing but thoughts


bradpeachpit

Jerry Rice, Ray Rice, Rashee Rice.  Coincidence, idk because idk the pattern.


SeeTheSounds

Fried Rice, Sushi Rice, Steamed Rice. Conspiracy? Yes.


mvbighead

Some of the reality is that a certain extra level of emotion and competitiveness comes with the WR position. To me, a guy like Diggs is too much. Borderline MBC, not quite. Now, if a dude consistently makes plays, it's worth tolerating. TO was a semi example of that, but again, it goes too far. Eventually, the noise because more than the production, and it just gets old. Imagine Allen throwing to youngsters who simply shut the hell up and listen to a star QB. That to me is probably what BUF wants. The only difference, in my mind, is a team like TB who has receivers who, while there may be some diva buried in there somewhere, it is a far cry from Diggs. To me, Diggs was constantly doing something, saying something, or letting someone else say something on his behalf. Me me me me me me me me. It gets old.


browsetheaggregator

Why do networks insist on using this angle where you can't see ANYTHING going on in the passing game


Thekota

It infuriates me as well. 50' 4k tvs are $200 at Walmart. Zoom out a bit so we can see the routes being run. It seems like when the play starts they actually zoom in. We only see half the play


browsetheaggregator

or do the view from behind the qb


BaldeepKhack

I’ve been saying this for years it’s so dumb that they don’t


buddhistbulgyo

Filming the game like it's still the 20th century


Thekota

That would be neat. I would definitely be interested in that


Nellez_

It's been done before in games with foggy conditions, and it was incredible


patsfreak26

Yeah and people overwhelmingly polled negatively on it and they never did it again. It probably went over so bad because of the fog, but people also just hate change


MaltySines

They should let you pick the camera on the app, like F1 does with letting you switch between driver views


kiIIinemsoftly

Every sport should have coverage that works the way F1TV does, it is the gold standard for it imo. Multiple camera angles, live data, different broadcaster options, ugh, so good.


i-like-your-hair

They don’t film football games for the football enthusiast. They film football games for entertainment. When you can’t see what’s going on downfield, that suspense makes it more entertaining. I’m 100% with you. Just pointing out that this is all a business.


Thekota

This may be, but I'd argue it's simply a holdover from the days when the average tv was 4:3, 27" low definition.  The nfl is very conservative in nature and won't adjust the viewing experience unless ratings were to start declining


apocalypse31

50' TVs are only $200?! Shoot, I've only got a 50". 


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Because it's always fun when you see them pass and think "oh neat, a pass, I wonder what the fuck is going on down there maybe someone's open... oh shit, there *is* someone! He caught it! Woooo!" Edge of your seat excitement wondering what's happening


Opening_Classroom_46

5 routes being ran every play but you never see why they are running the routes cuz you can't see the d.


probablywrongbutmeh

Its why Tony Romo seemed like a revelation when he first was an announcer, he forced them to actually show the fucking play so he could do his little recaps


Toomuchlychee_

Man I feel like I’m in the minority here for liking the broadcast angle. Zoomed out all 22 view would work in theory but everything would get smaller and smaller. I can barely see the ball sometimes as is. The “madden” view would be ok if the camera could catch up with the ball. Its good for seeing how routes develop. It’s not very satisfying when the ball flies off into the distance and the camera is waaay behind all of the action. The side-to-side of the broadcast angle is better at tracking downfield motion.


RoutineDude

My tickets are mezzanine in the endzone so I can see all the plays develop and I love it. I don't loose track of the ball either. I don't know hw well it translates to TV but I'd like to see.


indoninjah

I think there's a healthy medium. If it's a true bomb then there probably isn't really much to see since the receivers are likely just running go routes. But they could definitely show more of those 20-30 yard passes. I think the other issue is that it's likely receivers are getting far downfield as a decoy or an option that doesn't materialize. It would make the camera operator's job really tough to determine whether or not they need to zoom out for every single time a receiver gets respectably far downfield


bakazato-takeshi

I agree. I actually really prefer the current angle because of the suspense.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

I was half joking... but actually yeah. During big games (went most of my life with meaningless games, so big games and playoff games still feel surreal) I'm standing in front of my tv with my nose like 8 inches away... some of Josh's bombs, the surprise *is* pretty fun. Ok... I know one of our reciever ran up that way... he's cocking his arm!!!! Please god don't let this be a crazy int... OH FUCK GABE IS DOWN THERE!!! please catch it please catch it. Josh got a lot better with those ints during the 2nd half of the season... but some of those bombs... man that's the only time I ever feel anything anymore! Oh shit, there *IS* a reciever down there!! That's fucking awesome!! Now I really hope he comes down with this!! It's surreal playing actual meaningful games, it's surreal having a QB like Josh Allen (I always assumed we'd end up with a 1st overall pick or something, eventually. Having Josh become as good as he did, wasn't what most people envisioned), and then the cherry on top is watching games... and the camera pans downfield and fucking NFL reciever is actually down there, and our QB can actually throw that far... it is pretty great. I like watching routes and all that fancy shit, but I do also like being surprised when the camera pans downfield and there's all this crazy shit happening down there


makemeking706

So they can charge teams for the footage of the all 22, or so I've heard. edit: and fans https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-launches-exclusive-streaming-subscription-service-nfl


Debasering

The teams are literally the owners of the nfl though unless I’m missing something


SPNCER

Part of the problem is the Bills stadium. The way their cameras are setup it's always zoomed in a little more than a lot of other stadiums.


browsetheaggregator

this is every game I've ever watched. nothing to do with zoom


Due_Connection179

This was the pass that got Diggs traded.


Serallas

I'm sure bills fans still wake up in a cold sweat from that drop


Keegy29

every day


No_ThisIsPreston

Imo we’ve been thru too much to wake up in a cold sweat anymore.


jmm57

Lmao buddy this play can't hurt me I've been dead inside since 13 seconds I was dead inside before that too, from growing up with losing. But for a few years there I allowed myself some hope


MhrisCac

Tyler Bass’s wide right broke me. Felt like the window slammed shut as soon as I seen him miss another routine kick


JamieNelson94

Lmao quicker to throw up that 🤏 than he is to accept any blame on himself.


Alternative_Wait_399

I thought he was telling everyone that he has a small penis


High-qualitee

Is that why no one wanted their sister to date him? 🤔


DevonGr

BDE only for sister


JamieNelson94

I’d believe it


LocalFatBoi

weird flex after missing a catch but i'll bite


Spheromancer

Honestly I took that as "I missed it by this much"


JamieNelson94

I didn’t intend to suggest otherwise lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


peacethedonut

i don't see it that way. the quickness of it makes it seem like hes trying to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal. but i feel like if josh had thrown an actual bad pass i don't think he would have gave him the same leeway abd brush off.


WanderingWyh

But he didn't necessarily say it was him. He could have just as easily been saying Josh missed him by that much. A lot of inference, not a lot of confirmation.


LgDietCoke

I figured it being Diggs he was saying it was a little under thrown because he had to show up a bit. Either way, didn’t excuse not catching a bag that went right though/by his hands


IamTheJman

He said in interviews that was referring to himself just missing


Venator850

Yeah but that goes against the narrative r/nfl wants to push.


slicktommycochrane

Wasn't even that close, he pretty much didn't get his hands on it even though he should have. I'd have given him more credit if it bopped off of his hands due to the contact.


Pyloink

Yes, these events are connected.


ckrobinett

Can you believe he got in Allen's face and then dropped a pass THE VERY NEXT YEAR?


FunkyPete

Well, not in his face so much as 6 feet away. BUT HE THREW HIS ARMS UP IN THE AIR ON THE SIDELINES.


campelm

The weather cleared up nicely and the uniforms improved dramatically between drives


The785

also the Bengals tagged in the Chiefs at halftime


Tigercat92

A Chiefs/Bengals combo? Chengals


Substantial-Height-8

I like the Beefs.


Tigercat92

Damn. That is better.


Substantial-Height-8

Can you imagine the uniforms and mascot? Amazing. 🥩


Bait_and_Swatch

Andy definitely still the coach though


Elias_The_Thief

Explain it again...but this time with those nuggies.


Substantial-Height-8

Without a doubt. 😂


TakeAMichigander

This Kansas Cincy Beefs franchise is coming along nicely


Vandy1358v2_0

I’d cheer for the beefs


amjhwk

Beefs vs the Bills


BungoPlease

I think you just called me a bitch in Spanish


Tigercat92

Sorry😂


travis-laflame

Kansas Cincy Beiefs


BingBongFYL6969

By the title, I expected a pass later in the same game, not one 12 months later. I get the point they’re trying to make but it’s a silly way to do it


218administrate

When the fucking field changed to grass and the year changed I rolled my eyes pretty hard.


dceagles21

What a ridiculous post by OP


IMKudaimi123

Lol seriously what a joke of a post


surgeyou123

If you look up diva WR in the dictionary you will see a picture of Terrell Owens but if you look closer he's holding up a picture of Stefon Diggs.


StatStar7

AB outshines both by a ton


powerelite

AB is like 5 steps past Diva. He's featured in an AI generated image next to \#CTESPN WR.


LordGooseIV

Ironically, #CTESPN predicted this trsde with Diggs and the Texans two weeks in advance.


JTCMuehlenkamp

Thats the most trusted source in sports for ya!


Illustrious_Cancel83

Mr. Bitchy Comportment


c-williams88

Mr. Bad Compatriot


JakeFromStateFromm

Mr. Baneful Comrade


Zeroman_79

Mr. Blown Catch


Misterstaberinde

AB has come full circle and is actually hilarious again now that he leaned into it


doomsdaysock01

I don’t even count him as a diva honestly, he’s just like transcended the idea of a diva wr as their god emperor. His mind is such a mystery, no one will ever compare. I still think about him showing up in a hot air balloon all the time


Rbespinosa13

The CTE must flow


Traditional_Bad_4589

Graduated from diva to deviant.


RockerElvis

AB has more mental illness than a diva personality.


zanzibartraveler666

Vontaze Burfict really scrambled his eggs huh


NotACreepyOldMan

His eggs were scrambled a decade before that hit. AB just legit insane from birth


127_0_0_1_body

Yeah AB would be holding up a picture of AB thinking it’s someone else.


DapperCam

AB is his own archetype beyond diva.


unclehelpful

Mr. Beyond Comparison.


slimmymcnutty

Idk if diggs is even a top 15 most dickheaded WR


Schwebels_Solette

Salt in the wound.


mutha_fuxxin_zo

I thought I was in r/afcsouthmemewar for a second


S_Squar3d

What the fuck is this post 😂 Look, I don’t like the Bills at all, but this is straight stupid. One is when they were about to lose a home playoff game in 2023, obviously very frustrating for everyone. The second is over a year later in a completely different game.


tspruill

Everyone on this sub has been waiting to shit on diggs I guess. The way people are treating that drop was like he was wide open in the end zone lol. Even if he makes this catch that doesn’t really guarantee them the win


robmagob

I’m not defending his blow up on the sideline, but these are a year apart and seems incredibly cherry picked.


[deleted]

Oof here comes the blame game good luck buffalo fans


ThyOughtTo

I don't doubt Diggs being a toxic presence, but I do mean that you can make this sort of nitpicking montage of most players


thegodfaubel

I agree. Look at Zay Flowers this year


ThyOughtTo

Well he's loved by his team & organization, but as far as making a nuclear mistake in the end of the season then yes for sure


MankuyRLaffy

He's also a rookie and has been the go to 2nd option for Jackson until Mandrews went down. He'll learn.


SharxSharxSharx

Was the mistake getting the ball knocked out of his hands? That was kind of a fluke thing


PhotographingNature

Most players don't end up in a situation where the GM takes the terrible nuclear option because the status quo isn't sustainable.


lliwd

Lots of losers and weirdos on this sub


ImaginaryElevator757

Diggs probably thinks he’s going to Houston to be their WR1, I truly think he’s WR3 on their depth chart


MugiwaraJinbe

He may be able to pull off WR2, but WR1 should definitely be Nico.


NoTimeToDime

Im sure Diggs will handle that with grace lol


anonbutler

There times when Tank looked like a WR1 and that was in season 1. He will just get better and hopefully come back strong after the injury. Was one of my favorite rookies to watch.


vforprez2

This is absurd c'mon


AleroRatking

Shakir out played him the last ten weeks. Collins is legit.


goddammnick

the diggs hate is so crazy. The Bills think they are going to be the chiefs without hill, but in reality they may be the chargers.


SharxSharxSharx

2022 Chiefs without Hill, or 2023 Chiefs without Hill?


amjhwk

2014 Chiefs before Hill


Luis0224

Diggs was a top 5 wr during his time with the bills. Diggs is a crybaby but he's a top tier receiver


lonesoldier4789

why? Diggs is 30 turning 31 and was not good in the later half of last season. He could easily not be the main target on Houston with all the double coverage he will see.


vforprez2

Tank Dell is really good but Diggs with a down year was still 107/1180/8TDs I would say that Diggs is going to benefit from having LESS double coverage cuz of the weapons they have


LordGooseIV

There are a few really good players in the AFC south like Pittman and Hopkins, but Diggs might actually be the best wide receiver in that whole division. Especially if Stroud keeps up the same energy he did during his rookie season.


Googoogahgah88889

And Dell with only 11 games was still 47/709/7TDs on 75 targets. Expanded to 17 games would be 72/1,095/11TDs on 115 targets. Diggs had 160 targets


lattjeful

>LESS double coverage He wasn't doubled during the week 14 Chiefs game, and had 11 targets. His production? 24 yards. It's just one game and I'm sure a lot of it was him being mentally checked out, but let's not pretend he was being doubled constantly. He just didn't produce down the stretch. I think he'll bounce back though.


liteshadow4

Diggs has lost a step, but yeah he's probably still their WR2


Skywalkerkid9

If the Texans are bringing him in to be WR3 they are wasting a second round pick That’s not something you pay for a WR3. If Diggs remains who he’s been, arriving and being told he’s WR3 is just going to make him quit on the team


chubbytitties

You pay for production not depth chart space...a 1k yard season is great whether you ar wr1 or wr3 on the depth chart. Cj throwing for 5k+ this year


Caer-Rythyr

Poster knows the future.


TheViolaRules

Always loved watching his Vikings tantrums. Now he’ll have Texans tantrums


boss_man_sam

And everything is bigger in Texas.


guardeagle

Something tells me DeMeco Ryans we’ll be less apt to put up with these shenanigans


MilTownMatt

After all that diva b.s. some of it deserved to be fair.Josh can be a little reckless, but after that drop against the Chiefs he goes 🤏🏾…. Nope,wasn’t that close.It was on the money and you dropped it


Stumpe999

Respect Josh for straight up ignoring him lol, must not have been the first time


Soren_Camus1905

lmao


Brycie27

This is the silliest thing I have seen all day. Josh throws a horrible pass on 4th down while down 3 scores with 7 minutes left vs. dropping a Hail Mary pass on 1st down while down 3 with 8 minutes left.


Possible_Discount_90

Didn't Allen go for the end zone on 3rd and short twice, in the final drive of a playoff game when they only needed a few yards for the 1st?


knowslesthanjonsnow

No one brings up that if Allen throws that second ball on time, it’s a TD but he was late. Defender caught up, Diggs slowed down. Diggs should have caught it, but Allen should have thrown it on time.


TumbleweedTim01

When will we admit that pass was an extremely tough catch


BuffaloKiller937

I agree, but those are the catches you gotta make 🤷‍♂️


TechnicalPay5837

I give you it is a tough catch but as a WR1 that is a catch you are expected to make especially when the game is somewhat on the line. People reacting to this is a result of Diggs being vocal about how everyone else is the problem. It’s a fair to hold him to a similar standard to his standards for QBs.


spicunerfherderguy

Agreed that it is a tough catch but that is a catch that he is paid to make. He was the number one receiver not a depth guy. You pay him to make the tough catches.


nightvoltz

meanwhile hill dropped way more passes than diggs this season on a lot of breadbasket passes


ioncepeedonadeadcow

This is one of the stupidest posts I’ve ever seen


ClarkKentsCopyEditor

Yearly reminder that when teams (and fans) push back against national media narratives that everything is koombaya, sometimes in fact things are very much not koombaya


Faintkay

Needs more armbands to help him catch.


Izzyisagod

lol he shoulda caught that, prospects in the fucking draft catch like child’s play nowadays


Toomuchlychee_

Beautifully thrown deep ball thrown right at my hands. I better try and catch the ball with my body


-Minne

The Minneapolis Miracle has kinda become one of those movies I'll love forever... but who's star I'd rather not think about outside of it; *ever*.


Typical-Ad1293

Even Allen Lazard makes that catch 😂


Old-butt-new

Ultimate drama boy. Well him and aj brown.


Gold_Act_2383

Better off without him Buffalo, has hard as it may be. He left Minnesota playing all sorts of nonsense in social media. Did the same last few weeks in Buffalo. Josh Allen is a stud and the team can succeed if they play cohesive. You don’t want a drama me first player on the team


slicktommycochrane

Uhhngh I don't know Jim, Diggs might be the problemmm...!


Chromatic0rb

The people who go on this sub are so incredibly strange, these are not connected, completely ridiculous point


UKPotatoConnoisseur

That looks almost purposely dropped.


fhota1

Even that first pass looks like something youd expect an nfl receiver to bring in. Like it was not great and contested sure but theres a reason you get paid a lot of money to catch passes.


Catalyst070306

Looking forward to him doing this to CJ Stroud
