Mister Defense Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Great to see Williams make some quality plays today, keeping drives alive. BUT his drops may have been more significant. A starting NFL receiver catches those balls and puts the Bills in a stronger position to win. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He did good compared to Foster who has done nothing all year. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Williams Available Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I don’t think he’ll be on the team next year, but for only starting 3 games I think he produced better than expected. One drop was the DB knocking his hand after the ball was caught. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The drops were definitely tough to watch, but it was great to see him make some plays. I'm not sure if it would have ultimately made a difference, but I wonder if getting him more involved during the regular season could have helped in preparation for this game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocbillsfan1 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Such a stupid thread he was the best 3 wr on the roster and he deserved to play. Hopefully the bills upgrade in the offseason though. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I didn’t see any drops?... The TD catch would’ve made me think that guy is a #1 WR type. That would’ve been highlight reel stuff. Other than that, he made a bunch of really nice catches in tight space. 9 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Does anyone have a replay of the pass in the end zone? I didn’t think it was a drop, I thought it was a bad adjustment to the ball. Someone else said his left arm was being grabbed. I think it was just misplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNootz Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He deserves a spot on an NFL roster next year... I don’t know if that will be our team or not, but he’s proved more than capable at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familykwi Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I’d like to see him make those plays, especially the end zone shot, but I think he’s a player Josh is willing to throw to with decent timing I might add. I think he can contribute as a 4, or 5 receiver. I don’t know that you count on him to be a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 He made a few clutch 3rd down conversions - he did way more than Foster ever would have. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 he played great not sure where you say the bad the endzone catch would of been a highlight reel catch the sideline catch would of been pretty impressive as well considering what irks me is seeing his game today and knowing for the last six weeks he has been on the practice squad and somehow Fosters play on ST outweighed Williams on the offense...points to imo more incompetence with this staff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 How does he see more targets than Brown and twice as many as Beasley today? All did about the same in yardage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm stunned at how people are reacting to his performance. He was a key player today and made big plays. As others have said, that TD would've been SPECTACULAR and elevated his performance to legendary. Your expectations are ridiculous. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Should have caught the TD. The others were pretty tough. What annoys me about him is he acts like he won the super bowl after every single catch. Just get back to the huddle, man. Act like you've been there before.

wvbillsfan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I thought he was fine. Everyone has wanted the guy who can make a back should catch or a “mossed “ type of go up and get it play. Duke almost made those plays. He did make one but a penalty got him. Alas wasn’t meant to be. Almost doesn’t count. Still looking for the guy who can be that threat.

Freddie's Dead Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I called my shot before the game, that Duke would be the difference in the game for the Bills (a positive difference). Unfortunately, I was right (on the negative side), in that Duke failed to make the play for the TD. He did make some huge 1st down catches though. Not bad for not having played with Josh for 7 weeks. He'd be a great 3rd or 4th WR on the team. We need a #1. McKittrick gonna be fighting Foster for a roster spot next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Duke was fine today. He should've been our #3 outlet receiver all season. Yes the endzone drop hurt as the other sideline throw. But he made 3 tough catches to extend drives. Not to mention Josh missed him on a few. He's earned the right to stay on this team over at least 4-5 players who I won't bother mentioning. We all know who they are. But by sheer virtue that this coaching staff held him back so long, who knows what these guys do? We'll probably be bringing 2 additional wrs to the roster so the wr corp will be squeezed. Duke should be proud of the way he played this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregPersons Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It wasn't great. He had some tough drops. He also made some tough catches. He did more today than most of our other receivers have done all season. I'd keep him, Brown, and Beasley, and then try to bring in several possible new True WR1s from the draft and Free Agency, and let it play out in training camp. TE needs just as much help. I'd dump Kroft and Lee Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
