One other thing that needs to be addressed is WR

[78thealltimegreat]

Every time Tom got in trouble today he would just throw a lollipop to Evans and Gronk and either get a catch or PI

 

We don’t honestly have a receiver that can make a contested catch…we keep throwing the the fade and back shoulder to receivers who are solid but really aren’t the type of athletes to go get a ball

 

We probably need to add that to our list of offensive needs after G, TE2, and RB

ok now this is a bait thread

The fade at the end of the game was the absolute dumbest call you could have made. In a tie with the fake punt

What’s a lollipop throw?

Soft lob meant to be high-pointed by a tall receiver.

Agreed.  It puts the game in the hands of the refs, sort of daring them to throw the flag, which you know they aren't going to do in that situation.

Sanders wasn’t what we needed. He’s only taken snaps & time from the development of Davis. And as much as  they may rave about Sanders in practice, he has been woeful at being in position on the deep throws and the drops.

 

But yes, we absolutely need a guy who can make the leaping / contested catch on more float-y passes… that our own defense has been burned by so frequently (the Hail Murray and like every pass in the Pitt game).

One thing Sanders and Davis has in common is neither are threats to get YAC.  Davis has 90 yards on 19 receptions with Sanders gaining 74 on 39 catches.

I don't know about everybody else, but I am thrilled to see the return of the "we need a tall physical WR" thread. 

Next up: the Play Jake Kumerow thread, previously known as the Play Duke Williams thread.

Serious comment: yeah, we kind of need that guy, unless Gabe is that guy. I would love a 2nd TE right about now even more since I kinda sorta think blocking is an area of need too.

Wow, that's ... really bad. Particularly Sanders.

[Governor]

We’ve needed a Mike Williams type WR for a long time. Diggs isn’t a true number 1 and is really small.
 

Evans was available not long ago but most here didn’t think he was all that good.

so what?  Davis has 18 ypc and 11 yds per touch

[Process]

It's a major and an overlooked need. 

 

Outside of o line probably the biggest need on the team.

 

The Sanders signing made 0 sense when it happened and thats showing now. But McBeane's been after him for a while, and you know how they are with "their guys." Doesn't matter that he was 34yo, 5 foot 11, and not at all what this offense needed. They decided years ago that he fits the process, and that's that.

[McBean]

We need to draft and sign nothing but offensive lineman and weapons this off season.

 

We have Josh fkn Allen at qb. Our time is now and we need to get him weapons.

Diggs isn’t a #1 wr….interesting 

 

john Brown is a street free agent if sanders is injured for a while. Not the worst choice, knows the offense a 

And was a deep threat

[Solomon Grundy]

DJ Chark would be ideal!!

We need size. No more twigs. A guy that can get jump balls.

I'm done with Sanders. We will need a replacement for Beasley/McK soon and we need to get Gabe much more involved. We'll need a big Redzone threat. But right now all emphasis must be on completely overhauling the OL.
