Big Turk Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Diggs should shatter his own personal records he set in his first year as a Bill...currently on pace for: 138 receptions 1858 yards 17 TDs That would put him under 100 yards away from Calvin Johnson's 1964 receiving yards record that Kupp nearly broke last year. Really just an unbelievable start to the year by the Bills and Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs in particular. Edited October 17, 2022 by Big Turk 2 1 1 Quote
Bruffalo Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 This is with Diggs being pulled early in a few games too because the Bills are doing too well. Pretty incredible. 3 3 Quote
Big Turk Posted October 17, 2022 Author Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Even crazier is that Tyreek Hill IS on pace to break Johnson's record with 1986 receiving yards...he currently is ahead of Diggs who is in second place with 701 yards. Edited October 17, 2022 by Big Turk Quote
newcam2012 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I was shocked when I saw Diggs' stat line. That had to be the quietest 10 catches 148 yards and 1 TD. Smooth as silk. My son asked me if Diggs is a top 3 in WR un the NFL. My response was I'm not sure. But I'd say the QB and WR duo of Allen/Diggs is in the top 3 for sure. Yesterday was euphoric.

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Calvin Johnson has the record with 1,964 receiving yards in a season - and he did it in 16 games! 3 Quote

extrahammer Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 I do believe Diggs is better than Kupp. 2 Quote

The speed guy who had average hands and that's all they could do(Beebe, Brad Lamb, etc) or the slow, sure handed possession receivers that were the security blankets on 3rd down, like Tom Waddle with the Bears. You rarely even saw white WR's, they just weren't a thing back then and certainly nobody had them in a conversation as being one of the great WRs in the game. I am not sure when that changed and white WR's became a thing again, but Wes Welker, Julian Edelman, Adam Thielen and Cooper Kupp have kind of ushered in a new era showing white kids that they can be a WR whereas they may have not even bothered and just played a different position growing up.

That he has produced so much while being almost exclusively on the outside the past two years is amazing. 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Its impressive but its 17 games now instead of 16. Quote

Expand I can't say I disagree...I think to balance things out, the records should be based on per game averages to make things equal across all eras. Quote
US Egg Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Calvin Johnson was a beast who unfortunately was wasted away in Detroit, through no fault of his own. Diggs is certainly a different beast (Minitron? 🤭) Anyways, his impressive career is bearing playoff fruit. Quote
