Yes that's my point AJ Brown would have just ripped the ball off the defenders head, Jefferson would have knifed it from between his hands, Hill would have backflipped over the DB and caught it between his legs or something Diggs is a very explosive in short areas/surgical precise footwork/sticky hands kind of guy but he's not going to just beast out and physically dominate the contested catch situation, and tbh I don't expect him to because that's not really his game

I'm saying there are guys who have the strength to make that catch at a certain frequency and imo Diggs isnt one of them, his strengths lie elsewhere

I remember the Rams game couple yrs back they gave the INT where receiver (think it was Knox but not sure) and DB both came down w the ball too And yes for all intents and purposes that was a punt

Jefferson did the same thing but in reverse to Cam Lewis last year, it's not just luck

Catching downfield requires a lot of concentration in addition to great body control The wr who has tracked the ball and gathers himself to go up is almost always in a better position to make a play than the DB who has been sprinting w head turned and his momentum going away...which works against catching a pass It's easier to catch a pass downfield the slower you as a receiver are moving, your momentum away from the ball works against you

If you've ever played wr you would know this is wrong

I don't know if Diggs does tbh because he's not a big contested catch guy But AJ Brown, Hill, Adams etc are coming down w that ball a decent amount of the time and if not they're certainly not letting it go for an INT edit for photo

The Chiefs beat them scoring 17 lol

When he throws takes the short easy completions it's sleepwalking When he goes for the deep stuff it's hero ball lol

Didn't he also leave one on some train tracks in Miami lol

Do you think it was a bad scheme/matchup or were our guys just a half step off their game? Haven't looked at the all22 but on broadcast it just seemed we were losing in a bunch of places where we normally wouldn't

Looked like tired legs

They had teams based there permanently, it was called the World League and then NFL Europe and it lost money every year of its existence and was eventually replaced by the International series we have now

No idont understand why you think expanding your product to another continent means you have to manufacture it there as well

Where do you think your jerseys are sewn lol Folks in other countries aren't prevented from purchasing NFL merchandise just because the games are played in the US

I dunno I'm just asking I guess I don't understand the idea of how the Europe circuit is so profitable they just had to have it

Do the intl games really make the league that much $$ tho

It's obviously a two sided coin but the fact that a Falcons defense of whom I would challenge you to name one single starter managed a significantly better performance despite a wholly inept offensive counterpart just a week prior has to be mentioned imo

I never disputed that the defense was at a personnel disadvantage, I disputed that they played well

The big third down and four w 3 mins left blitz that left Hyde in man on Ridley was really tough

Which part? How was the Falcons defense able to limit the Jags to 16 first downs, 5/14 on third down, and just 300total yards of offense when their offense turned the ball over 3 times and could only muster 287 total yards?

I thought you and everyone else in this thread were making the point that the Bills offensive performance was just to poor to overcome

The Falcons defense held the Jags to fewer yards and points w a significantly more inept offense

You know I'm right because the final score was 25-20 yet somehow everyone is spotting the defense two touchdowns lol

I probably would blame the offense a little more for yesterday, but that doesn't erase the point If there are valid excuses for a defensive performance that allows 31 points (and there are) there are valid criticisms of a defensive performance that allows 25 (or 11 through 3.5 quarters whichever you prefer😂😂)
