One a talented diva, the other a generational talent who seems well grounded. you sort of saw it on Diggs' face the moment he scored the Miracle td against the Saints and won the game. he threw off his helmet, threw his arms up in the air, and wanted individual adulation. JJ probably would have partied with his teammates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were two different people. To be fair to Diggs, that's a pretty monumental moment and would change most players. And let's not gloss over the complete change in offensive philosophy that led to his desire to get out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ probably would have partied with his teammates. I don't see it that way at all. he was practically sobbing, and his teammates ran down the field to celebrate. I saw it as embracing the fans. Celebrating individual heroics does not make someone a diva. I'm not saying that he isn't one now, but I saw a young man filled with uncontrollable emotions - pride, relief, joy, etc. It's ok to be proud of yourself - it makes players more confident in their abilities. I'll die on Diggs Defender hill alone if I have to 😅 Edited November 8, 2023 by JDBrocks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken there was only one hit that could've been considered late/cheap and everything else was well within the rules of football. Also you got the your repayment with that Minnesota Miracle play before blowing it vs the Eagles, something the Saints wouldn't have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you forget all of the overtime bad booth reviews? I'm just joshing around, but there were A TON of bad calls that went against the Vikings in that game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely remember yesterday, let alone that long ago except things I specifically looked into at the time. I'm pretty sure a goldfish might have a better memory than me at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I made a joke, they brought up the game, and I just responded. It was all just some friendly joking. If it's really that much of a sore spot, I'll be sure to let any more comments slide by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Also I really wish Jefferson didn't get hurt. He was my first pick in fantasy and although it seems Cousins kep forgetting about him for extended periods of times, he was still an important and consistent producer that got removed from my squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
