A WR1 could’ve made a massive difference against the titans, if Seth Roberts doesn’t drop that guaranteed first down/chunk play and potentially TD then that game could have went completely different, that was the play that sent the game spiraling, if roberts catches it and outruns the defenders already blown angles then that becomes a close game fairly early on, but he dropped it, we punted, the titans scored shortly after, and now we’re spiraling trying to catch up.
The bills loss, WR was absolutely not the problem. Last year WR/TE was the strength of the team and we missed the playoffs.
I agree that WR1 is not a need. A competent WR2 is all that’s needed, not a world beater, so if a starter gets hurt we have our depth guys as WR2 rather than 1, if duvernay or proche is WR1 in case of Bateman getting injured it’s not gonna work. And I get that you can say the same about every position, but it is what it is, you need some kind of depth at these high value positions and we don’t have it.
