Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Those who post cogently I have acknowledged. Those who post comments and stats that are wrong, I call out. All stars (ie. Adams) are double teamed and defensed against and sure Diggs was last year too. If their #'s haven't dropped, why has Diggs? Again it was a discussion. -

Why???? Because Thurman#1 posted completely wrong stats...... Sorry for correcting statements that were absolutely wrong. -

Actually I did check that and not like Diggs.... Hopkins has been battling injuries, OBJ may be done. DK is actually pretty much the exact same as last year (and Wilson is out). He had 83 for 1,303 and is at 39 & 580 through 8 games this year. Golladay, where did you find him???? Allen too 10% below 2020 #'s..... Yep Ridley is way down, but only played 5 games, so I imagine injuries and other issues. Jefferson has only played 6 games, averaging over 7 catches a game and 13.1 yards/catch 93.9/gm..... Last year he averaged 5.5 catches/gm and 15.9 yards 87.5/gm. Geez at least do your homework if you want to refute my statement!!!!!!😜 -
Rodgers is an idiot. Not on the Beasley magnitude, but one nonetheless. The vaccine is about not just protecting you, but all those around. The fact that he "twisted" the truth, actually lied, says much about his character. Hope the Bills and all NFL teams take this seriously.

Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
And why I posted..... I expect him in the top 5-10 minimum, not 21st. I just thought to this point he's been very good, but not like last year. Is there a single Bills fan who thought he'd be 21st in the league in yards/19th receptions? -

Now there's a stat that says something. I did not know that. That is what I call a fact that could have been said 7 pages ago and I would have acknowledged it. There may be reasons for the lower snap counts (i.e. if all run plays), but that is important. However I will argue the score issue (and not needing him or passing as much) as through 7 games pass yards and attempts match 2020. -

Yes and trust me that's what I want to see, but the observation was that offence seems off and Diggs included. Is that such a way out statement???? -

Again the OP was an observation. Not overly worried, but the #'s are down. Obviously WR's #'s must be inflated as 100 receptions and 1,200 yards won't crack the top 20 this year.......🤣😜 -

And they seem to be doing okay...... I just point out that the top receivers get more attention regardless and sure Diggs did too last year, so seems like a spurious argument. -

And I've used Adams over & over. Kupp now has Stafford and a huge uptick. Woods is not an elite receiver (is he?). Hopkins has been battling injuries at least 2-3 weeks. The stats are there and have posted them. And I've said as much, but his #'s are down significantly and hope that it is just short term. I was throwing out a discussion point to see responses. Not personal attacks. Again do other teams not try & take Kupp or Adams out of games (or is it only Diggs that defenses game plan against). -

Wow almost cogent. I've said I expect things to improve and maybe it is the Oline. Again too I think Allen has not been accurate on the long bombs (as not enough air). Maybe too he isn't reading defenses as well, or Daboll's play calling not as good. Could be a # of things. Last year Diggs was consistently targeted and open in the seam (or that is what I recall). Here's Allen's stats 7 gamess 2020 vs. 2021 (Completions/Passes). Another poster & me showed the yards are identical through 7 games 163/248 65.7% 2020 vs. 178/272 65.4% 2021 Diggs through 7 games in 2020 48 catches 608 yards..... Outside a few games last year (Tenn, KC, first New England game, sure I forgot others) it seemed they moved the ball at will.... Against Miami in 2020 they did whatever they wanted and it seemed this year Miami played much better (heck not even 200 yards passing in the first game). I'm a Diggs fan (he's a Bill) and see numbers & targets down. A small concern. -
Not just getting behind the wheel drunk (sorry was at Top Golf and will know exactly what the bar tab was and may have been elsewhere too). People make bad decisions, he compounded it by speeding and driving recklessly too. Yep many may have driven 1-2 Kms (or miles) to a house/bar and had drinks. 95% I hope when returning home obey all signs, lights and drive the speed limit.

Actually I have only it seems responded to two people who love to ignore the point. I think the offense has been a little off and not what I saw last year (yes the eye test). Diggs #'s are facts, down 25%. I expect those to improve, but asked a question. People make excuses and continue to come up with other reasons & seem bothered that I point out he has gone from 1st to 22nd in the league 40% into the season. If this was basketball & Giannis' #'s were down from 28 ppg to 21 ppg and rebounds from 12 to 9 30+ games into the season (same playing time), there would be some questions. -

How stoopid are you????? Really a serious question. Is Adams not at the top again this year with a depleted receiving corp around him. By your logic, his stats should be down 25% too (just like Diggs) because they are putting more emphasis and coverage on him.... Right????? I then said about the TD's (and no I did not check), are they not scoring in the red zone (he was injured last week) and Rodgers not targeting him down there, which would be an issue. Oh & TD's receptions for the most part are random (ups & downs), but catches shouldn't be.... But keep trying..... Sheesh Oh and you haven't added a single stat or actual comment to the thread, but just are an instigator..... Do you actually have a thought or think you're Don Rickles????? -

Oh & playing lousy defenses also doesn't come into play...... Another stat Miami is allowing 407/gm, Bills only had 314 & 351, which is up to 431.7/gm when the Bills games are taken away. Also before you explain the Bills won 35-0 and 26-11, they scored 30 of the 61 points in the 4th..... PPG may also have much to do with the Defense and +13 difference in takeaways...... But keep going..... -

And this from the Ringer....... Yet this team doesn’t feel nearly as intimidating as it did at this time last year. That’s probably due to the fact that the passing game, which has dropped from third in DVOA to 10th year-over-year, hasn’t been as efficient. Sure, the big plays are coming just as frequently—the Bills’ explosive pass rate is holding steady at 10 percent, according to Sharp Football Stats—but we’ve seen a bit of a decline in the short passing game. According to Sports Info Solutions, the Bills led the NFL in success rate on short dropbacks in 2020. This year, they’re down to a league-average 16th. They blame that on Josh Allen (so maybe it isn't Diggs, it is all Allen's fault, which would be a debate, but is beyond you). But they say the same thing many here are, that the offense just seems off. I asked if Diggs #'s being down 25% is a concern. The fact Adams is triple covered and that GB's other receivers don't compare to Buffalos, and he is still at the top, is just a terrible comparison according to you & Teef (though he hasn't responded once with any stats or actual comments, just sarcastic, idiotic responses). As for the scoring look at our opponents & defensive rankings (yrd/gm)..... Miami 32nd, Houston 30th, KC 29th, Washington 27th, Tenn 22nd & Pitt 11th...... https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/defense/table/passing/sort/netYardsPerGame/dir/asc Talking to you is no different than banging my head against a wall..... I'm out..... -

And that is the sad state being a Bills fan now. The offense is off a little and there are concerns.😜🤣 Boy I miss those offensive explosions of 230 yards passing and 20-17 games..... NOT!!!!! So I just wondered aloud if Diggs production being down 25% was a concern...... Foolish me. Oh and managing only 3 points vs. Miami the first half too. -

No you are just incapable of separating the post, the factual #'s I've stated from your dislike for me. You haven't refuted or debated a single point. Get off your high horse. -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Again you miss the point. His production is down considerably. He is not even in the top 20 in receiving. Yes I get it 5-2, passing yards the same and scoring more. I stated a fact and you guys are going on and on. When production is down 25%, that is significant. I expect it to change, I hope it does, just was an observation. Read the thread & take off your rose coloured glasses (and hatred of me aside)..... Here is my first post.... Anything not factual????? Did I say anything outside other receivers #'s not down as much? As I've said the Bills offense just looks a little off. Early on many wanted to claim Diggs #'s were down due to Sanders arrival, but that is not the case. Elite receivers get their touches passes and catches every week & seldom a drop off, but Diggs' #'s are way down. 2020 7.94 catches/game 95.94 yards/gm 7 100 yard games 2021 6 catches/gm 71.87 yards/gm 1 100 yard game. Kupp, Lamb, Adams & others are all doing well. Only Hopkins (slightly injured) seems to have seen their #'s down this season. Want to see Diggs putting up 2020 #'s soon..... -

Adams #'s catches and yards are up. Again a stupid comment. But yep TDs are down, so you got me. If GB wasn't scoring in the red zone and Adams not targetted it would be an issue. Anyone here happy when touches and yards down 25%? Hope #'s improve as they are down no it's ands or buts..... -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
And they too focus on Adams, Kupp & others..... There are 21 receivers ahead of Diggs..... I'm sure he's happy about that. His production is down 25%, another thing I'm sure warms his heart. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
But the stat posted about passing yards was wrong..... Again was asking about Diggs as his #'s down 25%..... You tell me if 25% is a large decline? To me it is and thus the question. -

At least get it right..... 1958 in 2020 after 7 (included a putrid 122 vs. KC)..... So yep they're way behind 2020😜
