His life flashed before his eyes on that one and he was dazed on the bench...I didn't know if he would even make it back in the game after they showed his so distraught on the bench after that hit. I mean his face had a look on it like he just got hit by a car

Davis was a liability with getting his feet in bounds though, I think people forget how many times he should have completed a catch but didn't becuase of his feet. There was one last year he was like 3 or 4 yards from the sideline and still didn't get both feet in. The issue wasn't that he "couldn't" it was he did not have good positional awareness or focus at times. And Keon already has a more expansive route tree and runs them better IMO than Davis thanks to how much more athletic and twitchy Keon is compared to Davis who tends to round off his routes. Keon has a lot still to learn of course, but I just don't think they are similar at all as players outside some low hanging fruit stuff like neither having great straight line speed, both having good size. Their skill sets are quite different. 2 things Davis has on Keon right now is blocking (but Keon isn't far behind, was known as the best blocker of the WR class this year too) and improvising when Allen is scrambling...both things that are more a reflection of Keon being a rookie and still developing and learning in those areas. Now in terms of role, if you want to say similar to Davis in terms he isn't a focal point yet in the offense, then sure I can see why you would say that. But I think this comparison by many people keeps getting thrown around for the wrong reasons with Keon and Davis as they really are not that similar of a player on the field. I do agree about Brandon Marshall, in fact, I said if Keon can reach his potential then he could be a blend of Hopkins and Marshall (not saying he is now, saying if he reached his potential). Neither of those guys were straight line fast, but they learned the nuances that create the separation to be consistently dangerous WR's and used their ball skills. size, and body control down field even when the separation wasn't there as the prototypical "open even when not open" type WR's. Funny enough, Keons pro day 40 time was faster than both those guys, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, etc. What will determine Keon's long term success as a top tier WR will be how well he can develop his game off the line and the nuances and sudden movements to create the separation consistently. He is already good on certain routes like a hook or comeback route and the slant. The good news on Keon is he has the athletic ability to get there potentially where as Gabe never had the athletic ability to be much more than what he is now.

Gabe Davis had a limited route tree and didn’t run crisp routes. Coleman is already a better route runner from the aspect of a bigger route tree alone and has substantially better body control, feet, and positional awareness. Coleman is also more explosive with the ball in his hands and RAC. Calling him Davis with hands is short changing Coleman’s tool box of skills. They really are not at all that similar.

Pretty sure Worthy’s life flashed before his eyes at least twice today. Also: Worthy 13.2 ypc Coleman 20.4 ypc 👀

Nope. And neither would McD

Helluva catch by Cooper and helluva RAC(s) by Shakir

Bernard came to play

Wow that was such a difficult catch by Kincaid, thing of beauty

Carter > Troy Franklin

I love Allen as much as anyone. But doesn’t change the fact that Allen has left a lot on the field going back to the Ravens game.

Allen has missed several opportunities today. He’s struggle with his field vision the past few weeks

Glad to see Cooper fixed all our offensive woes lol

I’m gonna go start the thread for Badol to apologize for Coopers drop 😂

You must not watch the games given he’s made at least 3 already.

I mean this will be something that is subjective to the person commenting. For me, it's not down, I think this season is actually great because there is so much more parity to it. This may be the least "top heavy" season we have had in a long time where it feels like there are a dozen legit teams that if they can get hot at the right time could make a run. BUT...I do think it may "seem" down for Bills fan specifically though and here is why. Nothing to do with the Bills themselves, but the Bills had 4 primetime games in the first 6 weeks. That meant no Sunday games when the bulk of the games are being played. I know when the Bills are on and other games are on too, I am much more invested in those other games because I am sitting down focused on football. So I got the Bills on my big main TV and then the other games on my 2 side TV's. But when the Bills don't play Sunday, I usually take advantage and do still have football on in the background, but I am doing other things like getting stuff done around the house etc. So I have technically watched "less" this year so far with Bills not playing on Sunday in 4 of the 6 weeks, but not really because lack of interest, but more to take advantage to get more done on those particular Sundays then I typically would with Bills on.

Both Carter and Davis are both looking better than Franklin so far. Swing and a miss on this line you are taking. And he also didn't have a good camp, had dropped TD passes this year, and hasn't done much of anything as a rookie. But hey, you saw him average 10 ypc for a whopping 5 catches in one game (something any bench WR can do on any given day) and suddenly Beane missed the boat? LOL This board never fails to entertain at its fullest. Franklin may end up being a good starting NFL WR...he may prove to be a bust. We won't know until a few years down the road...but what we do know is that last night literally proved nothing about him either way.

But that’s just it, I never said that. I said it’s harder when you pick late, and said it does happen, but it’s just harder.

I know, which is why I said it happens, but the fact remains it is harder when you are picking people who have more developing to do to reach that kind of potential. I mean there is a reason the bust rates go up with as you move deeper into the draft. So lets not pretend its just easy to find a Chris Jones in the 2nd...if so, there wouldn't be just one of him.

Well if we swing for Crosby or Garrett I am pretty sure it would be so whoever they got stayed a while too...so that swing for the fence move would be about more than just 1 season, it would be a big move moving forward too. I would go get either of those guys myself, they are difference making players. Rams won the SB because the D ended the game and Bengals were only it because their D shut down Mahomes the 2nd half of the AFCCG. Chiefs won the SB last year because Jones blew a play up that Aiyuk was uncovered in the endzone, a game they were only in because Chris Jones blew up Dion against us on a would go ahead TD to Shakir. The fundamental lack of understanding on this board for just how important play makers are on Defense when you get into the playoffs and Super Bowl is wild. If you could draft Crosby or Garrett with our first round pick next year, 100% of all teams would make that selection. So all you are doing is paying an extra first to insure that the first round pick produces an elite player...considering 50% of first rounders bust anyways, that is an equal trade off. 2 firsts for a top of the league defensive difference maker. Its a no brainer if it can be done, especially considering our first are going to be almost 2nd's anyway.

Agreed that would be nice...but not too easy to find a Chris Jones when you draft late. Sure it happens, but it is a lot harder to find them.

Now just cut Bass and trade for Budda Baker 🙏

That was my first and only game in Buffalo! My wife surprised me with Amy first trip to Buffalo for opening day 2021…although she wasn’t my wife yet. She was my girlfriend when she gave me the gift in July and my fiance before we left for Buffalo I told my wife is only fitting we lost so I could feel the pain of the fan base live in person lol. Plus my friend had died in June from COVID who was a die hard Steelers fan, so figured he deserved that win more too
