DING DONG, THE BILLS ARE DEAD!!!

Bills WR Stefon Diggs darted out of the locker room with all his stuff before some of the Bills coaches were even down to the tunnel area. Practice squad RB Duke Johnson stopped Diggs before he left the stadium and brought him back to the locker room. He left a few minutes later.

During the game, Diggs was spotted on Buffalo’s sideline seemingly upset with quarterback Josh Allen. He appeared to yell at the QB during the fourth quarter of the 27-10 loss.

After leaving the locker room, Diggs did not speak to the media. He left the stadium for good.

Diggs heading out in an upset fashion is not a great look no matter how you slice it.

While fans of a team might enjoy Diggs snubbing his media responsibilities, teammates might think differently. After such a loss, no one wants to face the music. It’s not fun.

Diggs, a team captain, decided his teammates could take care of that. He was out.

Bills fans seem to hate him, but I wanted Grier to draft Edmunds all along and he'd be the best LB this team has.

I know Hal is rooting for Singletary to be signed!

Devin's a beast. Bills never seem to want to give him the ball but every time they do, the first tackler never brings him down. It was the same way at FAU when he was getting 30 carries instead of 10. He will continue to produce at a high level with the ball in his hands for another 4 years IMO. Just like Alfred Morris, no one saw him coming in the NFL. I wish they'd both been Fins, along with Trey Hendricksen....not that I'm a FAU homer or anything.

The Bills were overrated.

However, it’s been made clear how many roster holes the media glazed right over when penciling in Buffalo as the clear-cut Super Bowl favorite heading into this season.

The games have been telling us the harsh truth all season that we overrated this roster.

If you were generous, you could have called the Miller signing the “icing on the cake,” for the Bills' defense. The rest of the layers didn’t hold up.

You can overlook pass protection or run blocking woes when you have elite skill position talent. The Bills obviously do not and were never going to. The Bills have two elite players in Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. That is it.

The Buffalo offense was far too Josh Allen in chaos mode/Stefon Diggs being great or bust this year.

Gabe Davis was aggressively steamed up fantasy draft boards because people do not watch film or understand players. There was far more evidence all over Davis’ resume, on film and on paper, that he wasn’t ready to be a clear-cut, every-down WR2. Davis was a Day 3 draft pick who thrived in a limited role. That’s where he should stay.

So after being told all season how great this team was and how superior they were, you now wanna hypocritically tell me you knew all along the Bills are only a 3 person team (Allen, Diggs and Miller)?  Hmm, where was all this “analysis” when Tony Romo and the rest were salivating and had crowned them the champions since about week 3.  And the now hindsight attack on Gabe Davis is unreal.  Just goes to show you, the media will use you for their own agenda but as soon as you fail at holding up their prophecies, they’ll tear you apart.

As for Devin Singletary, I have to admit that he's a much better player than I ever expected.  He could be a nice pairing with Mostert, but I just wonder if he has the speed that McDaniel wants.

A Singletary type available in this year's draft is Devon Achane of Texas A&M.  If we had more picks (&^%$).....I believe Achane is faster.

I guess... but didn't he have a similar position when Josh Allen was still on his rookie deal? Oh, but no championship though, so... I guess I'm confused now?
