11/14/21 Gameday Bills at Jets Pregame Thread
Billsfan1972 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Phew wanted to make sure no one will jump on me when I say bad playcalling in red zone..... -
What prompted the change to our offense, and other questions?
Billsfan1972 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
But stating the same thing. Just because you don't like that I said it, didn't make it wrong. Now Josh go out throw for 400 and bag 40+ on the Jets. -

Good thing the author was Virgil..... Any of us who expressed concern prior to Jax, were told how stoopid we were.😜 -
How about the arrogance of this site that the Bills could sleepwalk to a 14-3 record and that there were no issues with the Offense????😜 I watched the game and even me as a fan, never seemed concerned as I expected them to walk down the field when need be. Two huge drops by Beasley & Davis cost them dearly.

The TO & no challenge I didn't get. That was a clear catch was it not? What was I missing there? As for running up to the line on 3rd & short, Brady seemed to always run the play, especially if a qb sneak. Should have done that (and certainly vs. Tennessee too), forget scanning the the field. They needed a foot and if snapped immediately to Allen he would have gotten it that game. Add to that their red-zone (inside the 5 has been awful).
-
You're absolutely right..... No one wants to come here & say I told you so, especially after a loss. I take no solace for being "right". I wanted the team to score 50 points & then say "Yes this is what the Bills a capable of" and yep hope to be here next Monday and say that. The problem with this site is you hit the nail on the head "that people crap all over those that don't have the same opinion as them". To me it was obvious that the offense was off all year (flashes of greatness, just not firing on all cylinders), but those telling me (and others) what crap that was, did get annoying. So yep I'm patting myself on the back (and boy do I wish it was after a 9-6 win, not loss).
-
Yep & the first line of the thread was the Offence is off and many took "offense" to that. So yes, I'm here to say "Told you so"...... 😜🤣 So s@!k it...... You think I take pleasure in that and it makes me happy????? I'm the one cheering on the offense and wanting the 300+ passing games and 35+ points.
-
No, the point was that a few posters did say that there was something off with the offense and for the most part were told it was BS. I think there is no doubt that there are concerns. If it is all the Oline, how is it fixed? I something deeper, then let's hear how to address it. Oh btw.... Yep I (and others) were correct in the assessment about the offense... Still not panicked, but more then a little concerned.
-
From game one, things seemed just off, however week one was explained away, a botched 4th down vs. Tennessee was just bad execution and while we didn't steamroll Miami (and tied 3-3 at half) it was all just a figment of one's imagination as the team was still 5-2 and the largest point differential. But geez not a single TD vs, Jax????

Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Those who post cogently I have acknowledged. Those who post comments and stats that are wrong, I call out. All stars (ie. Adams) are double teamed and defensed against and sure Diggs was last year too. If their #'s haven't dropped, why has Diggs? Again it was a discussion. -

Why???? Because Thurman#1 posted completely wrong stats...... Sorry for correcting statements that were absolutely wrong. -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually I did check that and not like Diggs.... Hopkins has been battling injuries, OBJ may be done. DK is actually pretty much the exact same as last year (and Wilson is out). He had 83 for 1,303 and is at 39 & 580 through 8 games this year. Golladay, where did you find him???? Allen too 10% below 2020 #'s..... Yep Ridley is way down, but only played 5 games, so I imagine injuries and other issues. Jefferson has only played 6 games, averaging over 7 catches a game and 13.1 yards/catch 93.9/gm..... Last year he averaged 5.5 catches/gm and 15.9 yards 87.5/gm. Geez at least do your homework if you want to refute my statement!!!!!!😜 -
Rodgers is an idiot. Not on the Beasley magnitude, but one nonetheless. The vaccine is about not just protecting you, but all those around. The fact that he "twisted" the truth, actually lied, says much about his character. Hope the Bills and all NFL teams take this seriously.

Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
And why I posted..... I expect him in the top 5-10 minimum, not 21st. I just thought to this point he's been very good, but not like last year. Is there a single Bills fan who thought he'd be 21st in the league in yards/19th receptions? -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Now there's a stat that says something. I did not know that. That is what I call a fact that could have been said 7 pages ago and I would have acknowledged it. There may be reasons for the lower snap counts (i.e. if all run plays), but that is important. However I will argue the score issue (and not needing him or passing as much) as through 7 games pass yards and attempts match 2020. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes and trust me that's what I want to see, but the observation was that offence seems off and Diggs included. Is that such a way out statement???? -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Again the OP was an observation. Not overly worried, but the #'s are down. Obviously WR's #'s must be inflated as 100 receptions and 1,200 yards won't crack the top 20 this year.......🤣😜 -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
And they seem to be doing okay...... I just point out that the top receivers get more attention regardless and sure Diggs did too last year, so seems like a spurious argument. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
And I've used Adams over & over. Kupp now has Stafford and a huge uptick. Woods is not an elite receiver (is he?). Hopkins has been battling injuries at least 2-3 weeks. The stats are there and have posted them. And I've said as much, but his #'s are down significantly and hope that it is just short term. I was throwing out a discussion point to see responses. Not personal attacks. Again do other teams not try & take Kupp or Adams out of games (or is it only Diggs that defenses game plan against). -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wow almost cogent. I've said I expect things to improve and maybe it is the Oline. Again too I think Allen has not been accurate on the long bombs (as not enough air). Maybe too he isn't reading defenses as well, or Daboll's play calling not as good. Could be a # of things. Last year Diggs was consistently targeted and open in the seam (or that is what I recall). Here's Allen's stats 7 gamess 2020 vs. 2021 (Completions/Passes). Another poster & me showed the yards are identical through 7 games 163/248 65.7% 2020 vs. 178/272 65.4% 2021 Diggs through 7 games in 2020 48 catches 608 yards..... Outside a few games last year (Tenn, KC, first New England game, sure I forgot others) it seemed they moved the ball at will.... Against Miami in 2020 they did whatever they wanted and it seemed this year Miami played much better (heck not even 200 yards passing in the first game). I'm a Diggs fan (he's a Bill) and see numbers & targets down. A small concern. -
Not just getting behind the wheel drunk (sorry was at Top Golf and will know exactly what the bar tab was and may have been elsewhere too). People make bad decisions, he compounded it by speeding and driving recklessly too. Yep many may have driven 1-2 Kms (or miles) to a house/bar and had drinks. 95% I hope when returning home obey all signs, lights and drive the speed limit.
