The offense is better without Gabe Davis

[Einstein]

Is refreshing.

Gabe being out allowed us to get our playmakers like Hardy and Shakir on the field more often (more snaps to go around). And they both delivered at key times!

 

And it’s not just the opponent. That Steelers defense was #6 in the NFL in points against, and that was the MOST points the Steelers gave up all season (and that’s even with TWO missed field goals).

 

[Bills!Win!]

My jaw dropped when Harty caught the ball downfield. I didn’t think he was allowed to do that 

[K D]

But I heard Gabe was a good blocker and the most valuable player even when he doesn't make a catch?

You heard right. Great blocking in the run game. Great blocking the production of Shakir. He’s the real life block party. 

[Chicharito]

I think we missed gabe today. Nobody was stretching the field.

And he probably even c*** blocks when they are up in da club

Gabes biggest issue is he has a great game, then dissapears for 3 weeks. Assuming he's back next week, he needs to have a huge game

Even if he has a “good” game, it stinks that we lose all those snaps for other player, who are legit playmakers.

3 TD 150 yard game would be great next week.

Who had a better game tonight than a Gabe game?

For me, it’s not about individual performance. It’s about the team. Having Shakir, Hardy and Sherfield on the field gives us three explosive and twitchy playmakers that stress the defense.

 

Its also no coincidence in my opinion that Gabe doesn’t play today and Allen doesn’t throw an INT for only the second time in 12 or so weeks.

We can agree to disagree on the first point a bit, but the 2nd point is underrated.

Now, if we could get one more sure handed guy and get rid of Knox

Sigh. Knox is an enigma. He does so many good things… but then drops a wide open pass that hits him square in the hands. Frustrating.

 

I’d also like to see Kincaid go up and get the ball too. He would have had a 2nd TD if he didn’t wait for the ball to get to him (allowed the defender to deflect it). If he had went up and hand-caught it (ala Gronk), he would unlock a new level.

   Knox and Davis are not dependable receivers. Cook also but he is a great runner. 
   Josh needs/deserves guys who catch balls almost always. 
   Kincaid is amazing. I think Shakir is next guy up to show out. But, Knox and Davis are who they are, hands wise

way to drop the ball 

[HappyDays]

Next step, every pass thrown to Knox should be thrown to Kincaid.

 

Diggs

Kincaid

Shakir

RBs

 

That should be 90% of our passing targets right there.

[Mynamemike]

I think him being the number two is the issue.  He’s a guy that should be in on running downs and when we’re in four wides as at third or fourth downfield option.  He’s not a great route runner and struggles at making contested catches.  

[dave mcbride]

Davis brings far more to the table than Andy Isabella. Let’s not get carried away here.

While it would be nice to have him active for depth in case someone gets hurt, he should be nothing more than the 4th WR on this team.  The offense is just more efficient without him.
