I don’t know if its a lingering ankle issue causing him to lose concentration or just a mental issue.  But Davis needs a sports psychologist as much as anything to help him get back to where he was. 
 

I hope Beasely is ready for a full load, because Diggs needs someone else out there for the defenses to think about.

This is why I was all about a WR early in the draft.  I’m not going through my full explanation of the garbage job the front office did giving Josh what he needs, but I’ll say this, they used hope as a strategy and as usual, it didn’t pan out.  Hoping Davis would miraculously become more than he was/is was the only way this team could have had a chance to say they have the weapons to compete with anybody and he flopped.  He’s gotten way more opportunities and done virtually nothing more with them than what he put up in the past.  I’m happy they at least “admitted” there was an issue and went out to bring Smoke and Bease back in, wish they had tried TY Hilton personally.
 

If they don’t focus on surrounding Allen with better talent, we are going to be watching the careers of Marino,  Luck, Stafford, Rodgers, Farve, etc play out.  Top 5 QB, team that won’t get them weapons, always having to be the only driving force to a title and maybe they get there once or twice, but ultimately never meet their potential because the team relied on them to entirely carry the weight of the offense. 
 

It’s hysterical to listen to The Who’s the best QB arguments and the Jackson lovers claiming everybody has exploded when they got weapons, which has a point.  Then people pointing to Allen not being as good this year with “all the weapons” he has.  1 WR is not enough.  The fact we are pulling guys off the street and they are making more plays shows we have a major problem.   Philly stacked their team, Hurts explodes, Miami making Tua look good (when healthy), Stafford looked the best he ever has with Kupp, woods, etc., Josh regresses as you got rid of his slot guy, his speed guy and replaced them with an injury waiting to happen, a 5th round rookie, and pushed two guys from complimentary roles to “starters”, what a shock.  Maholmes has had to spread the ball out more, but I would argue still has more weapons past his #1 and absolutely has more running game help.  He’s the only guy in the conversation that’s doing more with at least similar talent.  Every team we face in the playoffs will have a better set of skill players and most will have a superior OL, it’s insane to leave that much on one guy.

Cincy has 5 players that have more catches than anyone on the Bills not named Diggs. Pretty much sums up what you're saying.

They may have to leave McK inactive and elevate Brown and Beasley. McK is caught inbetween. Not a true slot guy, not a burner, not big enough to block like Davis.

And, he’s been a drive killer quite often as well. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’d love to see Beasley, Smoke, Diggs, Gabe, Knox and Q. Even Shakir rather than McK. Just my opinion though.

He also has 40 more pass attempts on the season than Allen.

 

Over an average full games worth.

GunnerBill don’t like any player older than 29 (Kickers excepted)…

This is something that has been lacking in the Bills offense in the last two months, clearly because of Josh Allen’s elbow injury.

 

It looks like the elbow is back in form as the three deep balls Josh threw today were perfect!

 

This is huge in helping loosen up opposing defenses moving forward in the playoffs. 

 

Will we we see the explosive offense we were accustomed to seeing return for the playoff run??

 

Lets hope so!!!!!

 

Go Bills!!!

This may be hugely underrated.  You are right, it is something that for the most part disappeared during our winning streak but it was something that we do so well, a part of our game that strikes fear in the heart of our opponents.  The game where dismantled KC over a year ago, we weren't methodically driving the ball down the field, we just killed them with big plays.  

 

We absolutely need to get back to that and methinks that it will be reemerging again throughout the playoffs.

OK, so?  

 

That still shows Davis is meh when he's our #2 and their #3 has almost as many yards and has more catches.

Almost certainly not. If there isn't a single receiver in this draft who can generate more than an average 650 yards per season and 3 touchdown over an 8 year career I'd be very surprised. What don't I like about his game? He doesn't separate (like, at all) and he has pretty average hands. He scored a nice touchdown yesterday, great. If the Bills are bringing him here it is a downgrade on Gabe Davis.

There is that too. But I didn't particularly like Parker when he was 21....
