Stefon Diggs’ shows his frustration, Bills’ GM Beane says he has no issues
The Buffalo Bills’ 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals left them frustrated as they could not walk into the AFC Championship. The general manager, Brandon Beane, has no issues with wide receiver Stefon Diggs’ emotional outburst.
Diggs was upset due to the loss. He did not even look up while talking to Josh Allen. Later, he portrayed his frustration on social media:
“Want me to be okay with losing? Nah,”
“Want me to be okay with our level of play when it’s not up to the standard? Nah.”
“It’s easy to criticize my reaction more than the result.”
He said that it is easy for people to criticize his reaction, but the team was not able to keep up with the standards and lost. Stef couldn’t take this loss.
GM Beane replied to Stef’s frustration in a news conference as he said, “I’d rather have guys I got to cool off and just, you know, he wants to win and I can live with that versus, I’ve been around people that I question, are they just here for the Monday paycheck.”
“Stefon Diggs has been paid very handsomely, OK? He could say, ‘Man I’m good, I’m set. I can take my private jet, so I can do whatever I want.’ He wants to win and so he wears his emotions on his sleeve, but that’s what makes him really, really good. That’s who Steph was coming out.”
“I’m an emotional guy too and if I was losing out there, sometimes I probably think I’d be worse than Steph so does that answer it?”
On Sunday, Diggs had 10 targets for 34 yards and four catches. In the Pro Buffalo campaign, he had 108 receptions, 1429 yards, and 11 TDS.
He is a competitive player, and his frustration is justified.
The head coach McDermott said, “Stef’s a highly competitive individual, as we all know, and that’s part of the reason why we all love him. And he’s frustrated like we all are. He was in today, and he and I spoke, and I’ll leave it at that.”
