Nextmanup Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 We already had a Duke thread. Why not post in that one?

That would’ve been highlight reel stuff. Other than that, he made a bunch of really nice catches in tight space. what’s highlight reel about it ? Wr’s are supposed to make that play
Prickly Pete Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I doubt he is on the roster next season. But they need a guy his size. 1

All did about the same in yardage. For one, for some weird Daboll reason - many key plays had 3 WR with Duke, Brown and McKenzie. Not sure why Beasley was off field so much
DuckyBoys Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I thought he proved he should have been in the lineup long ago 4
tcampbell104 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 he will get a chance to fight for a roster spot next year but if the bills really try to improve their receiving core next year it will be tough
Freddie's Dead Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I called my shot before the game, that Duke would be the difference in the game for the Bills (a positive difference). Unfortunately, I was right (on the negative side), in that Duke failed to make the play for the TD. He did make some huge 1st down catches though. Not bad for not having played with Josh for 7 weeks. He'd be a great 3rd or 4th WR on the team. We need a #1. McKittrick gonna be fighting Foster for a roster spot next year. 1

LABILLBACKER Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Duke was fine today. He should've been our #3 outlet receiver all season. Yes the endzone drop hurt as the other sideline throw. But he made 3 tough catches to extend drives. Not to mention Josh missed him on a few. He's earned the right to stay on this team over at least 4-5 players who I won't bother mentioning. We all know who they are. But by sheer virtue that this coaching staff held him back so long, who knows what these guys do? We'll probably be bringing 2 additional wrs to the roster so the wr corp will be squeezed. Duke should be proud of the way he played this year. 3

What annoys me about him is he acts like he won the super bowl after every single catch. Just get back to the huddle, man. Act like you've been there before. Well for the past 8 weeks he wasn't there and this is a big stage. But I get your point...make the catch that you're on the field for and get ready for the next play and catch.
Special K Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) 7 minutes ago, SCBills said: I’d keep him next year. He’s earned it. Brown Beasley Draft Pick or FA Duke Roberts McKenzie vs Foster for the last spot It highlights the need to add bigger receivers to this roster in the offseason one through the draft and one through FA. FA big WR(AJ Green if healthy?) Draft big WR Brown Beasley Duke McKenzie Edited January 5, 2020 by Special K
GregPersons Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 It wasn't great. He had some tough drops. He also made some tough catches. He did more today than most of our other receivers have done all season. I'd keep him, Brown, and Beasley, and then try to bring in several possible new True WR1s from the draft and Free Agency, and let it play out in training camp. TE needs just as much help. I'd dump Kroft and Lee Smith.

Wr’s are supposed to make that play Definitely, and there were several. Important drops. That throw by Allen to Williams in the end zone was an excellent play. The balls that Williams dropped hit his hands, I believe. Edited January 5, 2020 by Mister Defense 1

I get he want stop play and I get he is passionate, but I think he needs more discipline.
