Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Brian Griese was saying that Josh had garbage to throw to, like Duke during the WC game last year and Kelvin Benjamin the year before. he probably didn’t realize Duke was still on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Survivor Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Yea i thought it was an unnecessary dig at Duke, as much as i generally agree with the sentiment. No pun intended. Edited December 29, 2020 by Bills Survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayboy54 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 He's a Practice Squad guy. The point being made was that Duke ain't no Stefon Diggs... and he certainly is not. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a double take when I heard that comment. (1) By the same logic, you could say they don't have anyone this year b/c he threw to McKenzie a number of times, or that they were relying on the rookie Davis b/c he got over 60 yards a few games this year. It was a false equivalency, since Duke Williams was not Allen's 1st option by a long shot and that's what Griese's analogy implied; he just got a lot of passes in that playoff game. Griese seems to have forgotten about Brown and that Beasley was also there last year and playing well. Getting Diggs changed the dynamic of the team and gave them a true #1 take-over-the-game receiver, as opposed to 2019's group of good receivers and 2018's mess, but the Duke Williams analogy was not the right way of expressing how Diggs changed the offense. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 It was a lame comment. He got stuck midway into his ‘analysis’. Yes, the Bills got Diggs but they already had Knox, McKenzie, Beasley and John Brown. The difference is Allen is much much better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) What exactly did Griese say wrong? I mean Duke was the number one receiver targeted in the Wild Card game. Duke had a couple drops in the playoff game that maybe Diggs would have caught. Griese was praising Beane for the overhaul. Should we also apologize to Dawkins for them calling the oline terrible two years ago? Edited December 29, 2020 by atlbillsfan1975 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 His comment was completely valid. If Duke Williams doesn't want comments made like that about him he needs to be better than a practice squad receiver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 In a media environment where BS over the top and undeserved positive hype is the standard it was a outrageous and nasty comment. Griese just put all of this years success on Diggs. Diggs has been awesome, no doubt and is the best receiver here since Moulds. But Griese unfairly dissed Duke who played what, 5 games? Maybe Duke might have performed better had he been played more. I dont care about Benjamin because he was an outright useless and lazy but Duke busted his ass to be on this team and contributed last year. In addition, Griese overlooks Josh's huge leap in quality and completely forgets and totally disrespects the great seasons that Brown and Beasley had. I really hope Griese apologizes. It was a real ahole thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said was 100% correct - maybe a bit mean, but correct. Diggs and Davis versus Duke Williams - a practice squad extra. was it necessary- nope, but that does not make it wrong. The team recognized they needed more: Diggs, Davis, Hodgkin, etc - they knew relying on Williams was bad. Williams wasn’t even the call up with Brown out - it was Kumerow. Should tell you what you need to know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBoots8 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Maybe let him be #14 to catch a TD this week? Idk. I like Duke, and I agree the comment may have been worded harshly, but the point itself isn’t necessarily wrong. Duke had a lot put on his shoulders and while he had a few good catches, he had some game changing drops too. I’d be happy if the comment puts a chip on his shoulder and helps him perform of he’s called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's not a rookie. The Pats know exactly what they have in him.
