Summary
Allen/Diggs was the most ubiquitous yard sign in the Buffalo suburbs leading up to the 2020 election. The sign was so universally popular that the local printing company responsible for making them, Zoom Buffalo, ran it back the next year. Stefon Diggs helped a younger, greener version of Josh Allen mature into the player he is today. Allen was the messianic figure leading the Bills Mafia cult, sure, but it wasn’t just him: it was usually Allen-and-Diggs, the two-headed god. Stefon Diggs is the same thing that makes him great: the competitive fire, the confidence, the psychopathic devotion to his craft. He wants the ball because even when the game is objectively out of his hands, he has to believe it’s still his to grasp. This is, at its core, what people identify as his “diva’ behavior. Stefon Diggs said he wanted to retire here, and we wanted to believe him. The Bills Mafia started to believe that they aren’t just unique, but better. And when you think you’re better than everyone else, it’s easy to trick yourself into thinking you deserve something. Stefon Diggs was traded from the Bills to the Texans. The Texans will get an energized Diggs, one full of excitement and optimism. Stefon Diggs is special, and part of what makes him so special is the knowledge that the honeymoon period can’t last forever. The Diggs trade was just the knockout punch at the end of a brutal four years for us. It took pain for us to find our purpose, after all. Mentally, none of this shit can phase us. All weapons formed against us will jam. God’s favor is coming.
