Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Pretty amazing comment. He says it’s based on film study. The Bills don’t have a number 1 receiver. Comment starts at 2:13 in. But it’s a good listen. Not sure if this link will work. https://go.audacy.com/rzMEawrpGGb Edited January 26 by Buffalo_Stampede 4 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I mean, I'd agree. I'd like to say it's Diggs, and think he could be. But his production doesn't match what you would expect of a #1. 7 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Diggs is 30 now and will be 31 next season. That's not old but if his subpar 2nd half of the season wasn't injury related then his decline will probably continue as he gets older. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Under Dorsey, Diggs was the only receiver on the field it seemed. Under Brady they spread the ball around more and use Cook a lot more. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The Ravens don't have one either. They are probably going to the SB with no WR having over 1,000 yards. Zay Flowers led the team with 858, but no one else even had 600 yards. Also, Lamar is their leading rusher. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I felt that Brandon Beane coming out and saying “Diggs is a number one receiver,” in his season ending presser was curious. He no doubt hears the chatter and I believe knows he’s gotta get a guy who strikes fear in the opponent. Diggs is great, but I don’t think any of these teams fear him. Even the Chiefs were puffing out their chest saying “he knew what was up” when Sneed locked him up. We’ll have to hit on a guy, a future number one who plays like it right out of the gate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Just going to point out to those who are upset on this comment that the list of WR's who kept up 1000 yds + production post 30 years old is incredibly small with Larry Fitzgerald being the greatest outlier and he was moved to the slot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Diggs still elite but his late season production is def concerning Shakir and Kincaid are young studs, we need 1 more difference maker and a guy to develop. Maybe Shorter emerges next year, he's physically a beast 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Wasn’t Diggs leading the league in receptions up until Dorsey got canned? I’m not bringing this up to bash Brady (I like wins); only making a point that Diggs was every bit of a #1 until the change was made. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Well, when your OC thinks that throwing to Diggs either behind the LOS or a few yards along the sideline is how to get him the ball...... What are we doing here? WHY is it so difficult to run inside slants with a guy who is elite at it 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm all for drafting 3 receivers this upcoming draft. Load Allen up with all the weapons. I litterally don't care if our defense drops to the mid teens as far as rank. We need a cut throat offense that is practically unstoppable. We have 10 draft picks. No reason, even with the cap, we can't build a championship team 4 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This class is loaded. If you hit on at least 2 of the 3, your offense becomes terrifying in a hurry. We need a Dynamic Explosive WR and another with Contested Catch Great Hands 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The problem with Diggs is the complete lack of effort on most plays that aren't a pass with him as the #1 option. On run plays, he barely moves, rarely attempts to block anyone, and basically just stands there way too often. On pass plays with others as the primary, he often runs his route at 60% unless he sees Josh scramble, in which case he speeds up & tries to get open. When he's doubled, he often just gives up & dogs it. This stuff wouldn't fly in youth football, and they'd be called out the first time it happened. I can't believe he's still getting away with it. This wasn't an issue his first few years here, but now is a major one. If your #1 WR isn't doing the little things, it brings the whole offense down. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will find out. No way are they trading him. It could have been injury related. Something he could play thru but still affected his game. The scheme changed some from Dorsey to Brady played a role as well in how they used him. We will see how he does next year. The Bills need to draft a WR preferably in the 1st Rd this draft. IMHO. Even if he isn't a #1 anymore, he can still be a very good #2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extrahammer Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 We have all these bonafide offensive consultants (Shula, Kromer, etc.) and first year OC's (Dorsey and Brady), it's wild to me that none of them can figure out if Diggs is a #1 WR or what type of offense to put around Josh.

MrEpsYtown Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 28 minutes ago, Albany,n.y. said: They do, but he's a TE. He's back this week & should be the difference on Sunday. Agreed. And I think that’s where the Bills should be headed. Kincaid should become the #1 receiver and Josh is focal point of the offense, and surround them with receivers who run really fast.

BuffaloBill Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 How much of the issue is scheme. I agree with some of the earlier posts that suggest age may be a factor for Diggs. However, they are paying him like a #1. I think the Bills lack a big body possession receiver to complement Diggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Zero WRs drafted on day one or two with an elite QB in his prime. Exactly one big time move to add an impact WR in four years. That is outright malpractice by the Bills. We wasted the cheapest years of Allen's extension on overpaid defensive linemen and now we have just one capable outside WR on the roster. They have to double dip at the position in the draft. Two WRs between rounds 1 and 4, non-negotiable. That will at least be a start in making up for a giant mistake. 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
