No AFC team will generate buzz up to Week 1 quite like these Houston Texans. Teams past have succumbed to the burden of Super Bowl expectations. This group, however, has the right mix.
"Oh, yeah. The playoffs. Since his Minneapolis Miracle TD, football in January has been a horror show for the wide receiver.
In 2020, Diggs famously stayed on the field to watch the Kansas City Chiefs celebrate an AFC Championship. In 2021, after “13 Seconds,” players remember Diggs yelling, “Every f--king time! Every single f--king time!” inside the locker room. In 2022, the world saw Diggs give Allen grief in the snow vs. Cincinnati. In 2023, an Allen bomb slipped right through his hands at Highmark Stadium vs. KC. "
It must be remembered that Diggs (except for that one "Minneapolis Miracle TD") has been close to crap for the playoffs. Certainly NOT the kind of performance REQUIRED of a team's #1 WR.
Especially in the four playoff loses that Diggs was on the Bills. Here are the stats for those four games...
35 targets, 16 catches, 45.7%, 140 TL yards,. 35 Yards per game average, ZERO TD's.
As a dedicated Bills fan I appreciate how he helped Josh Allen become a superstar and his competitiveness is well known.
But, his diva act gets tired real quickly, especially when he shits the bed in the playoffs way too often.
Maybe he will change his stripes for Houston. I wish him well.
But I'm very happy he's GONE!!! This is JOSH ALLEN'S team, not a whiny WR that can't perform commensurate with his #1 WR designation and oversized salary in the playoffs.
Hmmmmmm. When you write...
