Gunsgoodtime Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 1 hour ago, dollars 2 donuts said: Davis might honestly be the worst #2 of any team in the playoffs. …which is not very encouraging. So tired of it being on Allen and Diggs all the time through the air and then once every 4-5 weeks Davis does something impersonating a #2. Thankfully there has been more Knox in the second half of the season. EDIT: and respectfully, fyi, Davis is the 87th leading receiver in the league with Allen at QB. If you base is value off stats, 32 teams 3 recievers from each team is 96, which would put him as a bad #3 Wr with Allen dropping darts on him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 21 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Sorry that sideline catch was a bad pass just like the endzone pass to Diggs. Neother pass gave the WR a chance to make the catch. Davis has his issues but just like last week when Allen missed Beasley, not every ball that the WR gets his hands on can be caught. Agree a number of the passes he's dropped were not good throws. The first possession, they never showed a replay, but pass was low and behind him from what I recalled. Could he have got lucky and caught it sure. But he's being blamed for anything that comes close. Having said, he did drop at least two that he should have had today including the pass near the end in the end zone and recall one other he should have had. Over all do agree they need improvement next season at WR, but not sure making changes at this point is the best thing. Allen is also struggling with accuracy much more of late and had lead to many inaccurate passes. Maybe that's still due to the injury?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsgoodtime Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 37 minutes ago, HalftimeAdjustment said: Davis's drops are a problem, but likely we can't address it with guys who were out of the league to start the year. He gets into position to make the catch but drops too many. The other guys may not even get into position which could lead to sacks or INTs. Have to trust the coaches. The other WR who does not have reliable hands is McKenzie. Its at the point its embarrassing to even see Mckenzie on the field at WR. Outside of Diggs we have nothing. Time to use that high draft capital on WR and OL. I say 1st 4 picks on Wr and Ol then draft a safety or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: They clearly put too much weight into Davis and his performance in the divisional game last season… He is the same guy he always was which is still a good reserve WR, but he isn’t a 1B WR. He isn't the same guy he was the past 2 years. He is much worse. It's a really frustrating development. They were counting on him to step up and instead he inexplicably regressed. His rookie season he was making ridiculous toe drag catches in a critical drive of a playoff game. Today he didn't even try dragging his 2nd foot on a routine play along the sideline. I don't get it.

BigDingus Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Can we just trust the coaching staff at this point? Bench Davis right before playoffs? This same crowd was crying to start Elam, and he immediately became the go-to target for the opposition to exploit. Any time Josh plays poorly or the defense gets rolled over, we're also crying to fire McDermott/Frazier/Dorsey. We had posts on this board whining about everything from Edmunds to Hines, then both end up being crucial to today's win. Yes, there are plenty of flaws to this team, but there's enough blame to go around on EVERYONE. Let's just hope McDermott & Co. have them all ready when it matters most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanahan's Horseshoe Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The best thing he does is block. As of right now, he looks like he’s lost all confidence doing anything else. He’s had his chance. Play Brown and Shakir 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunTim Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I agree that Gabe has disappointed at times this season. Here's hoping he can regain his form to help out down the stretch because there isn't a true 1b WR on the roster IMO I would be pleasantly surprised if Brown still has the gas to fill the 1b role full time, happy to be wrong. It's more likely things stay the same and the ball keeps getting spread around, with a fair number of drops. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Gabe definitely needs to start catching the ball more consistently. On a positive note...It was nice seeing Allen letting a few deep balls rip. We've seen little to none of that since the elbow injury. One good thing that came from what happened Monday night is he's only had 1 drive in a 2 week span. Gotta think it helped his elbow injury.

dollars 2 donuts Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) 45 receptions in 15 games and about 55% catch ratio is not even yeoman effort for the supposed #2 receiver on a team that is supposed to be a super bowl contender with a QB who is routinely in consideration for MVP status. Enough of this garbage and excuses that week and and week out is made for someone who is “spectacular”, briefly, once every 150-180 minutes on the clock. ”oh, you can’t enjoy a win.” yes I can and it was great, but I want a super bowl.

Replacing Davis is an off-season project IMO. The writing was on the wall when the Bills acquired Smoke and Cole. Just a little message to Gabe to figure it out. After Diggs, no one is safe. It would not surprise me whatsoever if the Bills draft a wr in the 1st or 2nd. Edited January 9, 2023 by LABILLBACKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yeah they’re not gonna do that.
