Reminded me of the Gabe Davis drop against he Jets last year after Allen partially tore his UCL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Aside from Kincaid & Shakir, everyone else can go. I still can't believe Stef dropped that? We must draft multiple wrs. I've never seen such an amazing qb be stuck with such garbage wrs. Keep drafting defense clappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just inexcusable. on the bright side, Shakir and Kincaid are studs. We’re really not that far away. This hurts, but we had a MASH unit on D and overall the game plan was really effective. We just couldn’t close at the end. How about we talk about the defense that couldn't stop a nose bleed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: Diggs also declined to speak to the media after the game. He's a team captain who loves to hold his QB accountable, but apparently not himself. The shtick has gotten old. Better than last season where he left the stadium before the coaches even got in the locker room. But I really don’t wanna crap on Diggs. He has done a lot for this team. But as much as I hate to say it, his days as an elite receiver may be over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakir was open by 3-4 yards in the endzone for a TD and Allen couldn't step into the throw with Jones in his face...but agree, they need to find guys that can get open. I wouldn't hate it if they went WR with picks 1 and 2. McD can turn anyone into a pretty good player at DB so they don't need to be wasting high picks there.

Otherwise, every team has drops. We need to stop acting as if that's the only reason we lost. We got our a$$e$ handed to us in coaching throughout the 2nd Half. That has nothing to do with dropped balls. This game never should have been that close. This was easily KC's best game offensively against any playoff team this season. Brady ain't cuttin' it either. Those repetitive plays that weren't working in the 2nd half. ADJUST!!! Sadly, we don't do that well, and that has nothing to do with dropped passes either. If we want to take the next step, we need a new HC and a new OC. Let's quit dredging the barrel for ours. We need a HC that understands offense. This loss was entirely inexcusable. We'll likely never see a worse KC team with Mahomes at QB. Of all teams to lose to in this game ... SMFH!!

Bangarang Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 WR is by far our biggest need. Some speed on the outside would be a lovely addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BillsintheBurgh Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I didn't think so before this, but I think now we need a wr that can win on the outside. I don't think we have that player now, someone like Hopkins would do it. Don't need any more than that at wr, because we will need d line and safeties next year.

GASabresIUFan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 In the Hamler thread, I wrote about our desperate need for WRs and was ridiculed for criticizing the future deal for Hamler. I guess people failed to realize that the guy who has caught 12 passes over the last 3 years (Including none this season) isn't going to move the needle. The Bills have 2 WRs; a declining Diggs who we are paying $30 mill and a nice No. 3 in Shakir. That's it. Diggs would be better if we had someone on the other side who could keep the defenses from keying on him. It would also help if the OC had an idea of how to use formations to get him open and if he didn't have the dropsees. The goal this off-season will be to get 2 WRs in the draft. Admittedly we also need safeties and more CD help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Diggs had zero interest in the last month of the season and seemed totally checked out tonight. He fumbled on the first play! And dropped what could’ve been a game-winning bomb. He became a bit of a bitchass this season and tonight was the cherry on top.

TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The lack of WR when Brady took over is very concerning IMO, but I think he’s a safe bet to get the job. I highly doubt the WR coach is back again. Just now, ScottLaw said: I think they’d love to cut or trade him this off-season. Hard to eat the dead cap when you already don’t have much money. I think he’ll be “WR1-B” next season. We relied on Allen and Diggs too much, and it caught up to Diggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) 17 minutes ago, Matt_In_NH said: So we can be like the chiefs with all their wrs? Make fun of the Chiefs pass catchers all you want. Other than Hardman who tried to single handedly lose the game for them, all of their pass catchers made every play that was catchable. We can put all of the other factors aside and say that the game ultimately came down to one side's skill players performing much better than the other side's. Mahomes' #1 performed like a #1. His #2 WR made the difficult catch downfield. That was the difference. Edited January 22 by HappyDays 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Things gotta change. Shakir and Kincaid are pretty safe. Kind of stuck with Diggs I think, oddly he sucked since his brother started tapping his mouth on Twitter. Another ***** performance by him during a big playoff game.

Livinginthepast Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I agree about the WRs but even a quality group of receivers needs a good offensive play book to part of. Watching the last two weeks of playoffs showed me over and over again how unsophisticated our offense was this season compared to other teams. Even with Brady running it and making better decisions than the useless Dorsey we were hamstrung by the limited playbook. Yes Josh missed guys tonight but on many plays we were not scheming guys open and there was no deception to our game plan all season like in the Dabol years. The 4th down? play to Shakir where he faked left then right in the backfield and was wide open for the first down was so rare this year. Brady did well with a terrible offense he inherited but imagine our current offense with a great coordinator and a sophisticated play book!

PBF81 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Quote We need new WR’s across the board How do you know that the issue is not Brady? While everyone's been fawning over Brady, seemingly few have realized that our offensive metrics have actually been worse than they were under Dorsey. We've turned our Allen-led offense into a dink-dunk short yardage extravaganza. I guess that's what "Complimentary Football" means in McD's world. Great idea Joel! Where else can you get a cup of hot chocolate for $4. Funny too, no one can point a finger at Davis. The irony is that he's been our highest producing playoff WR over the past two seasons prior to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 What we saw this season was the transition of Diggs from a #1 to a #2 WR. We no longer need a #2......we need a #1. And for that matter, a #4 and #5 as well. On offense, we do have some talent in place. I am comfortable going into next season with Diggs at #2 and Shakir in the slot. Or, if you want to, make Diggs your slot and use Shakir as your #4 and go out and find a new #1 and #2. We are in great hands with Kincaid at TE1. He's a star in the making. While Knox is a fine #2 TE, I really don't want my second TE making that much money. But that was a mistake by Beane that we will have to live with for a bit. It's not bad having 2 good TEs, but we could really use that Knox money elsewhere. The line proved it was fine this season. Was it perfect? No. But you can't have studs at every position. Torrence was great as a rookie overall and I expect a dominant season from him next year. Dawkins had his best overall season as a Bill in my opinion and McGovern and Brown were pretty good, not great. But, we can get by with them. Center will be interesting. Mitch is long in the tooth and makes a lot of money that we can get out from underneath from. He was very solid this year, but it may be time. You can usually get a very good center in round 3 of the draft and you have Bates to hold the fort down if needed. So, there are pieces on offense that work. But the WR position is very worrisome. Finding 2 quality WRs is priority #1 this off season. Stop forcing Allen to do it by himself and get him some playmakers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyo321 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Our receivers have no speed and they are terrible at running routes. Even Diggs has regressed in that area this year. Shakir is the the only one that I have any faith that we should retain moving forward. Everyone else, including Diggs can go it the effort from him does not improve.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have to say I am quite pleased with Shakir and Kincaid. Shakir is a not a #1 but he has potential to be a Beasley type slot wr. Actually, his ceiling is probably higher than Beasley. Shakir is much better after the catch and with the ball in his hands. Beasley maybe separated better. Kincaid, the question is can he become a top 3 Te, and right now that is a possibility which is at least nice to at least have on the table. The o-line was good enough this year which I think is promising in that it will enable us to hopefully use a first round pick on a wr.
