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. Josh is always going to get some blame being QB I just hate the fact we don’t have more balance they rely on this guy to be the 1985 version of John Elway to win games and if he’s even a little off our offense has no other way to beat you Edited September 12, 2021 by 78thealltimegreat 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. I mean we've had the same exact plays being called over and over. Five wideouts, empty backfield, three step drop. That's a Daboll thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Dude Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 1 minute ago, MAJBobby said: Why double Diggs. drop 7 and 8 and make Allen be accurate. Everytime a team has done that (and got pressure -this is Key). Allen has struggled Agreed Steelers had pressure almost all game and Allen never had a clean pocket where he could step up.

billrooter Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 8 minutes ago, IronMaidenBills said: 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. We lost today due to a blocked punt for td, a tacky pass interference call on an int. And the fact that Allen was not as sharp as usual imo. In the playoffs both Diggs and Beasley were playing with pretty significant injuries as well. I think we lost that game because we got dominated at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

Playoffs? Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I don’t think our WR’s are the problem. They’re fine. It’s our predictable playcalling and head scratching playcalling that hurts us. Set up a running game. Use the TE more. Find Gabe Davis! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
