When it rains, it pours, and right now there's a flood of negativity surrounding the Buffalo Bills after their embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots. The offense, defense, and special teams struggled throughout the contest and while there was a crucial no-call late in the contest, the team didn't do themselves any favors to secure the victory.

Immediately after the game, superstar WR Stefon Diggs denied doing a postgame interview. Put plainly, Diggs seems pissed and we really can't blame him. The entire offense at this point feels like it's Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs (and shoutout James Cook, he's been balling too) and when you don't win, the competitive nature comes out even more.

Henry McKenna, AFC East reporter for Fox Sports, went to X, formerly known as Twitter, after the game to provide an update of sorts. Allegedly, he had asked Diggs if he would be talking postgame, and Diggs declined the interview.

The Bills superstar WR has been front and center in the national media all offseason and it bled into the regular season all stemming from reports that he was unhappy, people dissecting his cryptic tweets, and national pundits flat out lying and saying he wants to be traded.

Yes, Diggs declining interviews doesn't look fantastic and it does nothing to silence those who are still claiming he's unhappy in Buffalo. Everything he does is under the microscope after what has transpired over the past few months about his perceived unhappiness with his current situation.

However, at the end of the day, Diggs wants to win. He's an ultimate competitor playing at the highest level and he can see how much talent this team has. As fans, we are frustrated after a loss like that. Take that emotion, multiply it by a billion, and that's what these players are going through immediately after the game.

While Diggs denied interviews, not giving anyone the soundbite they might be looking for to fit their narrative, it ultimately could've had the same effect as if he did speak to them. 

Buffalo has some big issues they need to fix on their offense, but Stefon Diggs is not one of them. Despite his decision to not have any interviews after the game, there are much bigger problems with this team that need to be corrected immediately.

Thankfully, depending on who you ask, the team and the fanbase will get a chance to remove the bitter taste in their mouths sooner rather than later as the team begins their preparations for Thursday Night Football against the Buccaneers.
