Milanos Milano Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 So, lately I’ve come to the conclusion that our WRs just aren’t elite enough. Outside of Diggs, I just don’t think w have that one go to receiver that can just take over a game. I love Beasley, Davis, and Sanders, but they just don’t have that game take over when you need it vibe. How many times have we seen rookie WRs come into the league now and make huge differences. Look at JaMarr Chase today, Davonta Smith, and Jefferson last year. How is it they come in and put up 100 yard games, but we can’t get that regularly out of Beasley and so on? We all know Allen is great, but something seems off. Burrows and Cousins seems to be doing more with less compared to Allen. Is it Daboll or the WRs we have? Cause it doesn’t feel like Allen is to blame. 2 5 4 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is can someone TELL ME WHY Davis only got 38% of the snaps? He should absolutely be on the field more than Sanders. 7 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I’m not comparing Diggs to those guys. I’m saying we lack a true #2 that can just dominate when we need it most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Plenty of teams might have better 1/2/3 WRs than the Bills. What sets us apart is that our 1 is elite and our 2/3/4 are very good. Most of the good 1/2/3’s don’t have a 4 like Gabriel Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine, but I’m a firm believer you need a high profile #2 WR to win tough games like today. It’s why we struggled against the Chiefs. I feel like a TE or a #2 WR is lacking and making the difference. However Brady accomplished a lot without star power WRs. Hopefully Allen can elevate those around him more than he’s done, because today hurt a bit considering our offense weapons aren’t horrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern_Bills Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Wideouts are fine. Steelers had a great defensive game plan and the Bills (I guess Daboll mainly) was very arrogant and hard headed calling plays trying to force his way knowing they game planned for it. Probably should have mixed it up more, looked like the AFCCG without the explosive offense of KC. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The receivers are fine. There were some bad drops today. The bigger issue is OL and QB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I still don't think people understand and respect the defense we just played. They're going to do that to EVERY offense they play. It could be the best D in the NFL. And we had them. Oh well. On to Miami. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills expect to carry this season with their offence and passing then Beanne needs another elite play maker on offence or teams will just double Diggs. I would even give Brown a call because he knows this offence and was never healthy last season. End the day close games are won with teams that have big time difference making players, that could be another WR/TE or even RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Yeah I agree with other posters here, the WRs are fine. I'm not going to start comparing WR2s and WR3s across the league. Our problem still lies in the trenches. I appreciate Beane grabbing two in the draft; hope they pan out, because Feliciano is whatever and Ford has disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yawning Frog Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I think we all found out today why Daboll is not a head coach yet. the play calling was less than desirable today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top QBs make their WRs better. There are more then enough weapons for him. He played bad today. Bottomline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay is a big boy game. If our WRs are fine, then Allen has to win these games with the talent around him. Allen missed a wide open Sanders today, which doesn’t help. I’m just trying to figure out where the problem is. I feel Allen should be performing better with the talent he does have in these tough match ups, which makes me think Daboll or our #2WR is the weakest link.
