Yea really comes down to if the person answering the question thinks we’re a wr away for sure.. idk how great free agency is though for wrs this year I wonder how much that factors in for beane. There’s quite a few available but one is damaged goods and a few aren’t what we’re looking for tee Higgins isn’t really a wr1 imo, ceedee resigned, no way they go diggs again lol, then you’re down to guys that I’m not sure are super sure things like Godwin and diontae Johnson or aging vets like Deandre Hopkins and Keenan Allen could draft multiple wrs but we’re realistically picking late-ish 1st again so I doubt that we’d hit on a player of that caliber but it’s possible if bishop turns out at least ok we may have plugged a decent amount of holes where maybe we could trade up. Solomon and Carter have me optimistic

Could be it’s impossible to predict. I think they have to at least partly feel that the owner gave up on them this season which has to be a little deflating if it really was over Saleh trying to demote an objectively terrible OC which seems to be what the reporting alludes to, theres gotta be a locker room rift.

I’m not really seeing that much…he took plenty of deep single coverage shots in the last game. There was maybe a play where he could’ve snuck a pass in to shavers I think it was and passed on it which could potentially be interpreted of fear of an interception I guess? The only way you can really have that bad of an incompletion percentage game on that many attempts is if you don’t let it get to you and just keep firing 🤣 but I think a lot of this is reaching to explain 0 ints for him at this point in the season. Some of it is bad int luck in the past evening out it seems like, he’s had a few ints dropped this year. The prior couple years defenders turned superhuman and were diving,toe tapping, and making every freakin INT play to absurdly unlucky levels haha Every INT he threw I was like…man do guys ever drop his 😂

This is why I can’t believe they fired Saleh and created a circus leading up to this game.its a game they had a really good shot in to take the division lead they could certainly win still but why add extra distractions on top of it

No idea how the boost didn’t really come in the second half of this one though. If he’s still a wr1 Diggs/dell/woods/schultz should’ve been much more than enough to put that game away comfortably with the bills having huge weak links at nickel corner and Hamlin at safety. Diggs had a pretty good game but man I think prime Diggs goes off there

Eyeroll for the snark about the safety pick which was just as big a need as wide receiver honestly. The guy got burned by probably the best receiver in the league early in his first start 😂

Good time to buy low because deshaun Watson is tanking his value haha

Oh yea I get the logic…but he might know he’s a dead man walking anyway and act a little more disgruntled 😂

It’s such a weird situation over there because Joe Douglas is probably on salehs side I’d think. Is he out this offseason now? Does that make him more or less likely to trade for Adams? I genuinely don’t know

If they think they’re a wr away and it’s the type of guy they would’ve picked up in the offseason via free agency anyway I could definitely see beane making a wr move. he’s gotta be kickin himself not beating out the rams in the von trade in 2021. Yea you give up future assets but in hindsight that’s probably a Super Bowl win if he pulled the trigger. Von was a beast in the playoffs that year and was great for us up until that fateful knee injury I think we’re probably a big-ish splash wr away but idk that beane does. Mild reshuffling on the oline and a few new faces at skill positions could cause a slower than usual start and the defense could be good/great when taron returns is my logic there’s too many defensive players stepping up to not roll the dice on a deal you like at wr

That’s the crazy part, they’re pretty much built to win now and they fire their coach midseason in one of the few years Aaron probably has left.

I feel like that’s usually what happens lol. Raiders have to be pretty upset the way the last week went down, jets are a complete unknown now and saints losing Carr could effect their interest

I really don’t think it’s as big of an upgrade as y’all are insinuating. Whether he was mentally checked out or physically checked out or what the dude was mostly getting locked up like our no name wrs are this year down the stretch of last season without it taking a ton of defensive attention. It was frequently happening in the playoffs too even in his prime that’s likely the main basis of beane eating the cap this year to get his wr1 contract off the books that was gonna turn into a bad one. I really don’t understand the trade from the Texans side so far (of course there’s a ton of season left though). Seems like diggs is just cannibalizing tank dell’s targets. If he was still who y’all say he is, playing opposite Nico collins who is outstanding should be getting him an insane amount of opportunities

Because he doesn’t fire himself 🤣

They might need a true wr1 that can make tough contested catches down the sideline and has some speed but Diggs is not quite that anymore imo. He’s a good wr2 talent wise collins went down and it is honestly pretty crazy no pass catcher on that Texans roster really stepped up to fill the void a bit more going against the likes of cam lewis and a rookie safety that missed time in training camp making his first start, and damar Hamlin prime Diggs would’ve ROASTED there but it seems like things got pretty tough for them.

No idea how this stat is measured ultimately but rewatching some games he does get held a few times where it looks like he had his guy beat and had that flat drop while open so there’s been instances of beating his man and it doesn’t go down as a catch and/or target

I think it has more to do with the style of game and we just happened to have two in a row this way (possibly more coming lol we shall see). Games that go down this way he definitely has always gotten happy feet. i do think the roll out right to buy time is somewhat of a practiced situation though where guys know what to do once josh does it but he might rely on it a little too much in these style of games though

I don’t think he’s as bad as the diva allegations claim but he’s certainly not what you’re explaining either 😂.

He seemed to be sliding more towards the tail end of last year too I don’t think this has a been in response to his hand/this season. Even the ‘hurdling in from 10 yards out’ play didn’t seem particularly high risk…the defender went extremely low

I feel like we’ve been running into eachother on these Josh posts often enough where this doesn’t need a super long response haha so for this one I’m gonna stick to…that week 1 play really wasn’t a hurdle at all or even that dangerous of a play….it was more of a sidestep than anything. He’s clearly been protecting himself better this year and people are starting to complain he’s possibly protecting himself too much it seems 🤣

His defense is dragging the lifeless husk of Patrick mahomes around 🤣. Of course you’re not looking at number/stats or giving it the eye test haha because that would make you objectively wrong. my original comment was ‘do people think mahomes is consistent this year’ So you get caught up in niche Allen stats from an individual game this year like completion percentage when attempting x number of throws but will not even check on what mahomes has been doing at all 😂. Got it! Makes perfect sense

Because must be as negative as possible after a loss 🤣. Mahomes has looked very ordinary this year and excuses aren’t allowed when talking about bills players but the same exact statement can be made to prove non bills players are superior lol

I think finally for once mahomes and Allen’s respective situations are converging and it will be the cleanest comparison year we probably will ever have between the two and the results haven’t really supported your conclusion so far. We shall see though for sure.. when mahomes isn’t getting elite oline play and isn’t stocked with explosive wrs, he doesn’t look next level like you are explaining. He has made plenty of boneheaded mistakes this year, looks lost at times, and so on.

That definitely seems like an issue…SOME of these missed throws seem like josh is throwing to the spot he’s expecting them to route adjust to and they haven’t really been doing it. That could be somewhat correctable I think but we’ll see

And when he doesn’t which has been the majority of their games this year he’s been kind of a mess lol
