Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually I have only it seems responded to two people who love to ignore the point. I think the offense has been a little off and not what I saw last year (yes the eye test). Diggs #'s are facts, down 25%. I expect those to improve, but asked a question. People make excuses and continue to come up with other reasons & seem bothered that I point out he has gone from 1st to 22nd in the league 40% into the season. If this was basketball & Giannis' #'s were down from 28 ppg to 21 ppg and rebounds from 12 to 9 30+ games into the season (same playing time), there would be some questions. -

How stoopid are you????? Really a serious question. Is Adams not at the top again this year with a depleted receiving corp around him. By your logic, his stats should be down 25% too (just like Diggs) because they are putting more emphasis and coverage on him.... Right????? I then said about the TD's (and no I did not check), are they not scoring in the red zone (he was injured last week) and Rodgers not targeting him down there, which would be an issue. Oh & TD's receptions for the most part are random (ups & downs), but catches shouldn't be.... But keep trying..... Sheesh Oh and you haven't added a single stat or actual comment to the thread, but just are an instigator..... Do you actually have a thought or think you're Don Rickles????? -

Oh & playing lousy defenses also doesn't come into play...... Another stat Miami is allowing 407/gm, Bills only had 314 & 351, which is up to 431.7/gm when the Bills games are taken away. Also before you explain the Bills won 35-0 and 26-11, they scored 30 of the 61 points in the 4th..... PPG may also have much to do with the Defense and +13 difference in takeaways...... But keep going..... -

And this from the Ringer....... Yet this team doesn’t feel nearly as intimidating as it did at this time last year. That’s probably due to the fact that the passing game, which has dropped from third in DVOA to 10th year-over-year, hasn’t been as efficient. Sure, the big plays are coming just as frequently—the Bills’ explosive pass rate is holding steady at 10 percent, according to Sharp Football Stats—but we’ve seen a bit of a decline in the short passing game. According to Sports Info Solutions, the Bills led the NFL in success rate on short dropbacks in 2020. This year, they’re down to a league-average 16th. They blame that on Josh Allen (so maybe it isn't Diggs, it is all Allen's fault, which would be a debate, but is beyond you). But they say the same thing many here are, that the offense just seems off. I asked if Diggs #'s being down 25% is a concern. The fact Adams is triple covered and that GB's other receivers don't compare to Buffalos, and he is still at the top, is just a terrible comparison according to you & Teef (though he hasn't responded once with any stats or actual comments, just sarcastic, idiotic responses). As for the scoring look at our opponents & defensive rankings (yrd/gm)..... Miami 32nd, Houston 30th, KC 29th, Washington 27th, Tenn 22nd & Pitt 11th...... https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/defense/table/passing/sort/netYardsPerGame/dir/asc Talking to you is no different than banging my head against a wall..... I'm out..... -

And that is the sad state being a Bills fan now. The offense is off a little and there are concerns.😜🤣 Boy I miss those offensive explosions of 230 yards passing and 20-17 games..... NOT!!!!! So I just wondered aloud if Diggs production being down 25% was a concern...... Foolish me. Oh and managing only 3 points vs. Miami the first half too. -

No you are just incapable of separating the post, the factual #'s I've stated from your dislike for me. You haven't refuted or debated a single point. Get off your high horse. -
Diggs #'s way down - Is this an issue
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Again you miss the point. His production is down considerably. He is not even in the top 20 in receiving. Yes I get it 5-2, passing yards the same and scoring more. I stated a fact and you guys are going on and on. When production is down 25%, that is significant. I expect it to change, I hope it does, just was an observation. Read the thread & take off your rose coloured glasses (and hatred of me aside)..... Here is my first post.... Anything not factual????? Did I say anything outside other receivers #'s not down as much? As I've said the Bills offense just looks a little off. Early on many wanted to claim Diggs #'s were down due to Sanders arrival, but that is not the case. Elite receivers get their touches passes and catches every week & seldom a drop off, but Diggs' #'s are way down. 2020 7.94 catches/game 95.94 yards/gm 7 100 yard games 2021 6 catches/gm 71.87 yards/gm 1 100 yard game. Kupp, Lamb, Adams & others are all doing well. Only Hopkins (slightly injured) seems to have seen their #'s down this season. Want to see Diggs putting up 2020 #'s soon..... -

Adams #'s catches and yards are up. Again a stupid comment. But yep TDs are down, so you got me. If GB wasn't scoring in the red zone and Adams not targetted it would be an issue. Anyone here happy when touches and yards down 25%? Hope #'s improve as they are down no it's ands or buts..... -

And they too focus on Adams, Kupp & others..... There are 21 receivers ahead of Diggs..... I'm sure he's happy about that. His production is down 25%, another thing I'm sure warms his heart. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
But the stat posted about passing yards was wrong..... Again was asking about Diggs as his #'s down 25%..... You tell me if 25% is a large decline? To me it is and thus the question. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
At least get it right..... 1958 in 2020 after 7 (included a putrid 122 vs. KC)..... So yep they're way behind 2020😜 -

Not panicking, was throwing (yes a pun) something out there, as he has like the offense just looked off (as I've stated)...... -

Brown was injured half the season, but their #'s were pretty much the exact same. And yes I like Sanders. -

You're not allowed to state that (or maybe just I'm not). Teef where are you to complain about this one?????? -

#'s down 25%..... Pretty significant if you ask me. Is Adam's or Kupp's #'s down? He's dropped from 1st to 22nd...... Fine no issues. I was just throwing a thought out there, but some get hostile..... -

I do not do Fantasy.... Stating an OPINION.... Top receivers have not seen production drop & Diggs' #'s down 25%.... #'s don't lie. -

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Humbled at the Goal Line
Billsfan1972 replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely right. The second to last drive was disappointing, but those things happen and the expectations put on Josh seem too high at times. Yes open dump off on first down and instead of getting a chunk back on second down the deep pass was the wrong call. The Moss run on first down was stupid. and put the Bills in a bad position on a tight/short field. The whole game the Bills had trouble from the 15 yard line in. Not sure how they did not have a single play over the 9-10 that they ran there (as all failed, except the Knox TD that was called back). Even the Sweeney TD was on a perfect pass into very tight coverage (not enough was made of that play). -
Yep..... Just off all game. Good learning experience I hope, but pretty much what you expect after looking unstoppable for 4 weeks. Reality.....
-
They were awful and Allen had pressure most of the game. The offense was just off (regardless of the yards & points) and the line was the main culprit. Oh & the defense was bad and Tannehill barely touched.

Can't wait until the Bills offense finally starts clicking

And 200 yards in that first half. Open receivers and pretty easy passes. Regardless Tampa has an offense taking advantage of his skills. On the other hand Hurts looked bad. -

Except Moss did drop one (as did Singletary). As per the thread, not overly worried, just an observation that I think the offense has been a little off (vs. 2020). Anyone else watch the first half of Tampa/Phil last night & the easy passes Brady had? -

300 was unattainable for the Bills for 3 years (no other team did that), so yep I've moved the bar, because 300 is nothing unusual nowadays. There have been 46 through 5 weeks (or 9.2/wk). Already 13 over the 375 mark I threw out there. I used 375 as Josh did it 4X's last year. As stated I just think there is lot's of room for the passing game to improve & don't think it is at their 2020 level yet. -

You really seem to have an issue. Others agree. I stated I am "nitpicking", but they have been no where near the efficiency they were last year vs. Mia X 2, Seattle, SF, NE (Monday Night) & Denver. Yes Houston was rain and he played well...... As for KC & the deep balls and commentary that is part of the reason he racked up yards. He completed all but one of them. Frankly the offense has been fine, then team is 4-1, but yep want to see 2020 Diggs for a starter and 375+ yards passing.......
