Billsfan1972 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) As I've said the Bills offense just looks a little off. Early on many wanted to claim Diggs #'s were down due to Sanders arrival, but that is not the case. Elite receivers get their touches passes and catches every week & seldom a drop off, but Diggs' #'s are way down. 2020 7.94 catches/game 95.94 yards/gm 7 100 yard games 2021 6 catches/gm 71.87 yards/gm 1 100 yard game. Kupp, Lamb, Adams & others are all doing well. Only Hopkins (slightly injured) seems to have seen their #'s down this season. Want to see Diggs putting up 2020 #'s soon.....

thenorthremembers Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Getting a lot more from the Tight End and Number 2 wideout position this year. Its a good thing that we spread the ball around. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 He had the 6th most catches in NFL history last year. You can't expect a guy to hang around that area every year. He's still on pace to be around 100 catches which is still a great year. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fan_in_tx Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) What about targets 2020 vs 2021? Is it possible he is more resourceful in 2021 catching the majority of his targets compared to 2020? Also has Josh had the same amount of time to get Diggs the ball downfield compared to 2020? Many factors add in to total number of catches Edited November 2, 2021 by fan_in_tx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Is Diggs yelling about it? Having a bad attitude about it? No. So it's not an issue. For all the doom and gloom about what kind of person we heard before he got here, he has been nothing but an excellent teammate. Seems VERY happy. That guy that stood and watched the Chiefs hoist the AFC title hardware last year? That shows how he's driven to win...not put up stats. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Teams are placing a higher concentration on him. Allen is doing a better job finding the open guy. I liked the screen game with him. I would also use him in motion a bit more. Reverses, Jet sweep passes to Diggs and such. He is the best weapon on the team. Use creative ways to get him 3 to 4 touches a game and the rest will be regular play progressions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 5-2 and in first place. 229 points scored. The scary part is the offense can get better. The entire team including Diggs has bought into what McDermott has built. They know their is a good chance they can win the Super Bowl. Individual stats take a back seat to that. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs led the league last year in receptions and yards. Massive year. You can't expect him to put up those numbers every year. No one does. His current numbers would be 96 catches for 1150 yards (in a 16 game season to keep it comparable) - a nice year that would be 3rd all time on the Bills for receptions and 10th all time for yards. If that's a down year, I'll take it. Plus he could easily go off for a game or three and jack those numbers up. Now that we are good and have good players, people's expectations are stretched beyond realism (see e.g., every discussion of Josh's regression).

Eastport bills Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Diggs is great and the defense tries to take him away and that is why Sanders, Knox and Beasley are getting single coverage and excelling. Diggs will get his and score touchdowns, like he did against Miami. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are playing with four capable WRs. And with defenses now playing cover 2 vs us all day. Defenses are working really hard to neutralize Josh and Diggs. It’s not a coincidence that the safety blitzed on Diggs TD. They bracket him all day. It’s why its so important for Beasley and Davis to win their matchups.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Diggs is getting the T. Hill treatment. Is Diggs good enough to still make plays like Hill does with a safety over the top and a LB in his intermediate zone? I think other players will need to step up if teams are giving this type of attention to Diggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could trade Diggs for a 2023 conditional 7th round pick personally. Gotta trade now though, if they wait for the off season, they will have to cut him since his career is in shambles and the rest of the league will realize it then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
