One other thing that needs to be addressed is WR

I don't think it needs to be addressed as if it's a problem like the lines for example, but I'm a big fan of drafting weapons early and often every single year if you have a QB like Josh Allen. Gabe Davis is better than the time he's been seeing, that might change a bit in the coming weeks after today considering injuries. Last couple of weeks he's looked like very solid, #2 solid.

Is Isaiah Hodgins still around?  I thought he might be the answer for a physical receiver if he ever gets healthy.  

If Sanders walks after this year, I think Hodgins will surprise in a good way when he’s on the field. Supposedly he has some of the best hands on the team and is just as smart as Gabe in terms of knowing all the positions. His downfall so far has been availability.

We’ve needed a Mike Williams type WR for a long time. Diggs isn’t a true number 1 and is really small.
 

Evans was available not long ago but most here didn’t think he was all that good.


You’re really doubling down on this nonsense?

Diggs is absolutely a #1 lol. Maybe the #2 and beyond needs more height sure, in which case start with Gabe Davis and then draft more height.

 

And by Mike Williams did you mean Mike Evans? Evans is a first ballot HOF at this point sure, he's incredible. I'd take Diggs over Mike Williams of the Chargers in a heartbeat, however, but yeah I guess he'd be a good second option.

Our wide receivers are fine do you need a second tight end preferably one that can block

 

people just don’t understand you put consistent pass protection around Josh Allen and offensive line that can get a first down on the ground with confidence and this is a super bowl team you can pick at every position as much as you want but it starts and ends with the ol for about three more wins season

Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin are both UFAs next offseason. Those would be my targets. With the increased cap space I believe we can afford one. Godwin will probably re-sign in Tampa but I bet Robinson will be looking for a change of scenery.

 

get Robinson and another Robinson (James from Tampa.  See if we could trade a 2nd for him).  Draft OL in Rd 1 and 1T in round 3.

We need more offensive weapons almost as much as this post needs punctuation…

Yeah, he's not a true #1. True #1's would have had over 200 catches already in less than two seasons with this team, unlike Dig......um, nevermind.

 

Your take is not only misinformed, it's down right hilarious because it is so freaking awful.

We need to draft and sign nothing but offensive lineman and weapons this off season.

 

We have Josh fkn Allen at qb. Our time is now and we need to get him weapons. 


This is right, we have put so much money and high draft picks in the defense these last few years (with marginal results frankly). Protecting Josh and letting the offense be successful are priority 1.
 

McDermott is a defensive coach, coach up lesser players to compliment a Josh Allen offense.

Every time Tom got in trouble today he would just throw a lollipop to Evans and Gronk and either get a catch or PI

 

We don’t honestly have a receiver that can make a contested catch…we keep throwing the the fade and back shoulder to receivers who are solid but really aren’t the type of athletes to go get a ball

 

We probably need to add that to our list of offensive needs after G, TE2, and RB 

Knox and Diggs

Since 2000, I’ve been preaching that a Cold Weather (Rain, Sleet, Snow, Wind) needs ONE essential characteristic at WR & TE- 
HEIGHT!

 

The taller... the better! 
 

For years, OBD  went after these sub 6’ speed Smurfs from the SEC!
 

They can’t cut it it the cold & wind on Fade Patterns and jump balls... even from a (finally) large QB!

It's not a permanent solution but my red zone idea is to give Rousseau a couple goal line plays at WR.  He's got good hands and experience at playing WR in his development years so why not?  Find me one CB that's got the physical characteristics and height to cover him in the end zone?  Throw the ball 3 feet over everybody's head and he just reaches up and grabs the ball,  Could have been used in the last two game in late 4th quarter situations.  Why not give it a try?  Its better than coming up empty at the end of the game.
