#ESPN #NFL
This isn't taking a shot, it's them just speaking the truth. It's Everybody Eats Mentality.
So are they going to the SuperBowl this year because that’s the only way they could be a better team w/o Diggs
The played the Jaguars dude...
You are an idiot he is taking shots
now they got the defense on their toes wondering what weapon they are gonna hit them with next. As opposed to predictably forcing the ball to diggs 60% of the time.
This is why random bums shouldn't talk sports
Diggs has made so many comments toward Josh Allen and his play since he left. Josh Allen says one thing that barely meant anything and these guys say Diggs needs to respond on the field and off. Stooooopid
Josh’s play speaks for itself…
Josh sent him the GREATEST could be PASS during the playoffs against the Chiefs, dude was a step slower and wasn't long enough to go get it.
Diggs was amazing regardless first two years.
We know why 😂
When press taylor ultimately gets fired hopefully that cancer never gets another job in the nfl ever again. never seen one man single handily destroy a team as much as press Taylor has done to the jaguars. a Down syndrome toddler can call better plays
That's the way these people are,😭😭😭😭😭😭
They are playing better without Stephon, enough said.
And Josh Allen ain’t throwing no interceptions either, because he ain’t got to force feed the ball to a diva like Diggs.
bruh they ALWAYS start like this... also they played the Jags
Yup this all y'all needed keep no excuses from y'all fans Superbowl for sure 😂
Let’s see how the season ends with Diggs they went to the AFC Championship game
Josh couldn't handle the responsibility of having a top receiver it's easy to put stats when you can pass to everyone 😂
Out of everything we can say about the domination that the Bills displayed last night, we have the whole segment talking about an alleged shade comment to Diggs. Just ridiculous 😒

@@mellokia1 shame on you ESPN instead of praising JA and the bills when all you haters were bashing them this is the storyline today ridiculous ESPN for real
Horrible bro, First Take is a horrible network built on drama not real football takes.
Unc loves relationship analogies 😂
"Relationships" lol
That's what this is tho we know sports is our love 😂😂😂😂
Just hope he keeps his clothes on.
@@waynealan3067lmao
I thought it was The UA-cam commenting.
Josh literally is not allowed to compliment his teammates without Stephen A saying that he is insulting Diggs.
Allen is playing so much better now that Diggs is gone. He has every right to speak on that, and if Diggs takes offense, so what?
He played with who? Tho. Three bad teams. Wait next 2 games then open your mouth.

@@smartmustafemedia8511Josh Allen is Josh Allen though.
@@smartmustafemedia8511 aren’t the Ravens 1-2 and the Texans just lost 34-7? If Allen plays well against them, you’ll just say they’re bad teams too 😂
@@Ballin-97He beat 3 bad teams and one lost its QB to a concussion. At least his next game should be more of a challenge.
ESPN hates Josh for NO REASON. Steff been chatting like a sassy ex throwing digs at Josh & BUF all pre szn & no one batted an eye. Josh PRAISES his team & somehow it turns into him dissing diva diggs.
They hate him because they don’t want to admit he’s currently the best QB and at worst has been the 2nd best QB in the league.
Tell me one thing they said that exhibited hate ? Just one
Cause he is a white boy
OK, I’m not a fan of Josh Allen. But I also am. I’ll explain. It doesn’t matter what’s going on and what football game. We’re watching the media will throw Josh Alan’s name in there. It’s like they’re trying to force-feed a narrative. Every year, Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback but that summer every summer Josh Alan has talked about as if he’s the best quarterback and he’s always number one. And then Patrick Mahomes has to go and earn it back. Here’s a prime example. Not last year but the year before Miami and Buffalo are playing in the playoffs. Tua is out because I think concussion. Their backup quarterback is out so now Miami is on their third quarterback starting this game. Josh Allen had three interceptions and two fumbles, but he got one back. The third string quarterback for Miami throws in an interception. And the announcer says if Josh Allen would’ve thrown a ball, it would not have been intercepted. The bills go onto win in spite of Josh Allen. This is why I couldn’t stand Josh Allen. But here’s the thing he’s actually a really good quarterback, but because of the fans and the media, I didn’t like him.
Fast forward to this past playoff game against the Chiefs. And I was dumbfounded. I was wondering what was wrong with Josh Allen because the coach was afraid to get him to throw a ball past the line of scrimmage. I think it was something like 20 passes or thrown behind a line of scrimmage. That shows zero faith in your quarterback. And that’s why the Chiefs beat the bills. Sure Steph should’ve caught that ball at the end, but they played a completely different game than what got them there to the playoffs in the first place.
Shut up, Josh Allen is overrated and will show it sooner or later 😂
Diggs dropped a game winning catch

Yes he did after talking that talk
You guys are so bored instigating like he didn’t say anything about diggs
It’s human nature , Josh knew what he was doing
He definitely knew he was aiming that shot

He most certainly did...and I said for 2 years buffalo needs to trade diggs
This so on brand for ESPN. Ignore the amazing product on the field and try to manufacture drama
Its crazy cause there's actual panel worthy stories they could report on like Miami down to their QB3 in week 4 and only putting up a field goal with Tyreek Hill, Waddle and Achane healthy
Thank you
Why do we have to play the Texans next week. Diggs, please dont respond against the Jags 😭😭😭💀
If he gets 3 tds the espn will talk about him all day
I’ll be there. 🤘
“Stay off the weeeeeeeeeeeed.” 😂
Haven’t herd him say that in a long time cause now he be on the Weeeeeeeddddd😂😂
Steven Smith…stop yelling at clouds. Speaking at room level works just fine.
😂 It’s over the top and comical, very New York of him
Here we go..the media drumming up controversy
Its because Americans as a whole fail at recognizing subtext

To be fair, Diggs wasn't always a headache. The headache started after the Playoff loss in 2021 season and peaked/persisted after the Bengals loss in 2022 season playoffs. Josh then spent 2 seasons defending Diggs while the Diggs brothers kept posting tweets about Diggs being somewhere else.
He aint say no names so if diggs responds he is beta 😂
I don't know man. Diggs already proved he's a beta teammate when he got up in Allen's face like that in week one versus the jets last season.
Diggs last week said to CJ your throws are more friendly to catch
That’s not what he said. He said “you throw such a friendly ball.” Didn’t compare it to Allen. Unless I’m entirely mistaken, but I’m a Texans fan and watched that clip a few times.
@@kevinsayesthat’s definitely a shot
@@kevinsayesno your correct. these dummies just fish for shxt thats not there cuz they bored😂😂 buddy is yapping. diggs didn't take a shot at josh
@@bodilly6221it’s not. Y’all just take stuff out of context and twist it for drama
@@vince11harris I’m definitely not that type. Just be considerate of what you say and you wouldn’t have these problems
Stefon responded before he left the Bills. Lol
I want to see the same energy next week vs Ravens. Stephen A is a bigger headace than Diggs
A-Freakin''-Men my brother !!
McDermott always make life hard for Lamar
Great game Incoming, if the bills control that line, bills got it.
Ravens have to actually go get it, might want to watch some of the Kyle Murray game 1 footage to get the bills
Bills O-line stays this way, their offense will stay sharp, and cook can really cook too.
He is not talking about wins and loses, he is speaking on culture, improve the culture and improve the chemistry and wins will come with that. Diggs being negative on the sideline compounds the momentum loss.
49ers shouldve done the same to Aiyuk and now they are stuck
aiyuk is looking like a glorified number two receiver.
😂😂😂😂
Bills and Texans do play each other this season so we’ll see Diggs’s response when that game comes around
Can't wait to watch the Houston Texans vs Buffalo Bills in 2 weeks lol
Josh Allen look far better than years before. He’s spreading the ball and not forcing plays like he did before.
Diggs should just let his play on the field talk for him
With Allen he was on the top 10 receivers stat list.... Now Diggs is 31st...😂
He totally disrespected Josh in front of millions watching on TV...To make him look bad....
FK Stefon Diggs....
How are we still talking about turnovers lol.
Because it's true.Can you still not accept the fact that they can't win that much with him playing how he played with Dorsey?
@@dorien62896 Why do you think he played that way with Dorsey?
@@nb4411 Dorsey tried to emulate a system similar to the chiefs when they had Tyreke Hill and because josh isn't good in that system he struggled.
@@nb4411 also they couldn't take pressure off by running the ball that well because Dorsey had terrible run designs
And they were pretty much one dimensional with Diggs …. And Diggs didn’t go to a pro bowl until he got to Buffalo and had Allen
We gotta give Molly credit where it’s due. She’s doing a great job with transitions and including everyone without interruption.
They actong like Josh started this but dont bring up Diggs post on twitter saying Josh cant do it without him
the media be having short term memory loss with Josh Allen 😂
The laugh mid conversation😂😂 4:35
Diggs doesn’t need to respond. Cause if he does respond then it’s him admitting that he only cared about stats and touchdowns.
Diggs cost Allen a Super Bowl ring. He let one of the most beautiful throws go right through his hands
"it's okay Josh to be Clark Kent" 😂
0:20, Nothing but TRUTH from Josh💯A mic🎤drop TRUTH too💯
he also scored more points than anybody else ,converted more 3rd downs than anybody else, allowed his team to punt less than anybody else and had more TDs than anybody else...but it's hilarious that all they want to talk about are turnovers.
You’ll hyping this up and overplaying it, he’s said this 30 times or more since training camp. They gotta talk about something juicy
and then when an athlete says they don't like talking to the media, they wonder why.
He is playing well so far without him 14 games left let's not act like he been playing well without him for consecutive seasons. It's only 3 games.
I agree with Allen, he has a point! Yeah him and diggs did this and that but what about last season? Josh felt he had to pass to diggs by force with all his complaining not getting the ball enough. Allen is distributing the ball to every player he has available without anyone complaining about not getting the ball enough.
If you took speculation out of First Take there would be no program.
This is so irrelevant. It’s week 3. Say this when you win the AFC Championship game and you’re going to the Super Bowl.
Josh acting like they ain’t gonna lose the next 3 games and be an average team again
We gone see 😂
It’s not the issue it’s the fact Josh always had turnovers but now he playing much cleanier
That 'shot' was also a minor one for Gabe Davis too, since he was on the other side last night.
"are the bills the best team in the afc" talks about diggs for 5 minutes.
also stephen a.... his name is khalil shakir not shakur hes not tupac. jesus christ, get it right one day please.
Stephen A. said "Shakur" instead of "Shakir" 😂
Everybody eats diggs was just taking all the food lol
Since fumbling against the Cardinals, Josh Allen has been perfect
Lol 100% allen fault that one he but you know he gonna make up for it
1st half of cardinals game was preseason for the Bills starters
They have played the bottom feeders. 😂😂😂
@@Chiefs555 it’s not quite the murderers row the Chiefs have played ya, but you can only beat teams so badly and I think they beat the Dolphins and Jags as bad as you can beat a team. I also don’t think the Cardinals are terrible. Also Mahomes looked terrible against a team a rookie made look like a collage football team
@@derekrau8236 I mean the Chiefs played the last two AFC Championship teams and falcons are better than anyone the Bills have played. But 👍 enjoy your regilar season wins. Lol 😆
"he knew we was going to jump on it like some starvin dogs" 😂
Completion % is not 2nd to J. Daniels. It is 3rd. Malik Willis has a 83% completion percentage.
Josh Allen can say whatever he wants to say, but until he beat Kansas City no one's giving them credit
He ultimately probably won't have too someone else will be at em for them
@@xmmaddenhighlights3962we all know who has the best chance. If it’s not burrow or stroud then you can give up
He has beat Kansas City.
It’s gonna be bills vs chiefs again afc championship
@brettl250, when it matters most, the playoffs.
"Comeeeeee anddddd rescue me..." Also, "you throw such a friendly ball " while trying not to buss when we all know Allen throws hard.
-Stephon Diggs
Diggs was great for josh's development in having a trust worthy receiver. This just got to a point where josh doesnt need him anymore to be great.
Allen made Diggs better, not the other way around. Diggs had his 4 best season with Allen. Beasley had his career best season with Allen. John Brown had his best career season with Allen. Diggs was overrated and a constant drama queen. He limited the offense and held the team back with his selfish narcissism.
So what’s the excuse going to be when they get knocked out the divisional’s again haha
@Tacofalls244
Well it sure won't be Diggs..... And that matters.... No one in Buffalo misses Diggs right now and that also matters....
He is overrated.
He was Superman Week 1, with zero turnovers, trailing by 14.
Bills D is legit too. Considering all the players they lost in free agency.
New dc?
@@JeebyTubegood question cuz idk. defense playing good. i saw enough when they neutralized tyreek nd waddle
@@kiingxfinesse prolly a new dc that will do it
Its funny how its great when Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and Now Jayden Daniels are superman. You guys are all in, But No NO Josh Allen cant be superman. Josh can throw it father and better and can run better while hurling 6'5 linebackers. He needs to be Clark Kent. Just come out an admit it. You are seeing greatness in the man you just dont want it to be true.
Stephon Diggs Definitely Circled That 'Bills vs Texans Matchup after Hearing Josh Allen words
Diggs threw shade at Josh a few times. The media said Diggs made Allen who he is. Josh Allen gets to talk a bit after a huge win.
Dudes living rent free in allens head. Move on b.
This is one of the few instances where taking a shot at a former teammate is valid.
Who coulda guessed when you get rid of a diva receiver your team will be better off. Both diggs are obviously very talented but they’re not what you need when you’re trying to win championships
Not having a true #1 target is arguably more beneficial. Yeah you don’t have an all world guy but that makes it harder to play defense, you don’t know who the ball is going to. You can’t focus or game plan for one guy.
This why espn is losing views by the day. The take the smallest stuff ppl say and twist it into something they want it to mean , its actually WEIRD im sure josh was not taking shots at diggs . Fkn gossip girls
Diggs was invisible in the big playoff games He had his chance last year and dropped the perfect bomb
This segment is so disrespectful. DIGGS LITERALLY SAID ALLEN CANT SUCCEED WITHOUT HIM THE DAY BEFORE WE TRADED HIM?!?!?! Allen says one small thing after countless insults from Diggs and now Allen is a villain?!? (Side note, Shannon is wrong 100% of the time he talks about Buffalo, primarily the defense)
Don’t have the defense they once did?? This might be the best Bills defense in the last 5 years
'He has to respond, we have a week of news to fill and we can't talk about LeDiddy'
Tom Brady has said the same thing a million times about the Patriots offense
Diggs has been running his mouth about Josh on the sidelines for YEARS but Josh says one thing and these clowns get all offended 🤣 💯
"narrative at espn today". - let's try to take this awesome performance by the bills and try to spin it negative and pin Allen and Diggs against each other. GTFO
Shannon's comment on the patrick mahomes was perfect example he had a tyreek hill travis kelsey but then became that dude and now look who his receiver's are they still winning
Call it taking a shot at Diggs if you want everyone eats mentality is a winning mentality for this team. Sometimes the truth just hurts.
Best game I've ever seen Josh Allen play in the regular season. MVP frontrunner no doubt about it. I was hoping they'd keep up that same pace in the 2nd half but it was clear they sort of turned it off and went into cruise control just to finish the game. 4 first half passing touchdowns, 75% completion rating, Allen had 50 yards rushing on like 6 attempts, he converted at least one 3rd and 12 I think with his legs, maybe two I can't remember. They were really good on 3rd downs, scored tds on their first 5 possessions in a row. The guy was crazy. 3 games, no interceptions so far.
I was actually thinking this was gonna be a trap game for the Bills. I felt the Jaguars had too much individual talent to let themselves fall to 0-3 and very likely miss the playoffs because of it. I was wrong I guess lol.
Unc: “hair is the thang!”
I want to correct Shannon Sharpe on his Superman reference. Clark Kent was Supermans "costume".
Espn needs to stop starting stuff with players! Spreading the ball around is far more effective than trying to feed it to one player! Most teams are going to this style of football!
This isnt taking a shot, josh is just being honest about his mindset…hes not even thinking about Diggs lol hes focused on the Bills
What you got to remember is Diggs is not the number one receiver on the Houston Texans he's number two or number three😂
Lets see if he feels the same way when they ask him to take a pay cut to keep those 10 targets
These is the same people who thought josh allen will fall off a cliff when diggs left big suprise he didn't because he is that dude for his team duh great receiver's help yes but once you become that dude like a mahomes like josh allen etc your talent speaks for yourself even without great receiver's
Bills vs Texan about to be crazy game
Manufactured controversy
JA is him and he back it up meanwhile Diggs throws shade
Diggs has been throwing Josh and the Bills under the bus for months. And all of the media has been saying Josh and the Bills wouldn't be the same without Diggs.
Josh says it's nice that their team has selfless guys who trust him, and now you want to dunk on him for it. Click bate masters.
Josh Allen gonna end up at the same place he ends up every year. Seeing Mahomes pop champagne. 😂
😂
Childish emojis really sum up your depth in this matter.
I mean it’s pat mahomes 🤷🏽♂️
We will see fool if not for the fatty coach Kermit wouldn’t have any rings Allen is much better and more talented he will get past Kermit you will see haters
Facts
Diggs has always been locker room headache. Remember the Vikings video where everyone said they wouldn’t want their sister to date him, that’s extremely telling that he rubbed everyone just wrong enough that none of them would want him in their family.
Brothers love protecting brothers. Childish, these 3.
They're paying Diggs to not be there.
These guys saying Diggs made Allen....Sheeesh...😂
When Diggs went to the Bills he climbed to the top 10 receiver list each year except for 2023... Who made who ???
Right now Diggs is only #31 with Shakir three ahead of Diggs at #28 and rapidly climbing.....
The Bills played fantastic last night and all these guys have to talk about is Diggs and perpetuate a conspiracy....
Allen was trash before diggs coke on now
Bills fan, ESPN please don’t pay attention to the Bills. Please keep the disrespect. Please keep reminding us that we are September kings, and will probably slump in mid-October to November, go on another tear in December, only to lose in some miserable fashion to the Chiefs at Buffalo in the AFC Championship Game. We like it when you’re paying attention to the Cowboys. Please talk about someone else, we love the disrespect.
Bills come here to Houston this season too.
Going to be a heated matchup.
Can’t wait. 🤘
Shannon picked that up like your aunt Gladys would have.
I don’t hate it. Because the media and even Diggs himself made it sound he solely made Jose Allen.
So, Diggs can take all the shots that he wants and now it's a problem that Allen took some of his own? Get outta here...
All I am saying is that Buffalo and Minnesota seem to be doing A-OK without him...
We gonna act like week 1 against the Jets last year Josh Allen was stinking up the joint and Stefon was telling him to keep his head up
"They don't have the defense they once had " ....They got 3 or 4 of They top defenders out 💀
