Daboll!!!

This is gonna be a game only Bills and Steeler fan will finish watching.

Jrober38 did say "typically".

Does anyone know what happens to practice squad players after the season ends? Are they free agents or can their rights be retained? Thanks in advance.

Don't deny he has decent hands. Any issues we have had with drops have been by Zay and Knox. Duke replaced Zay and had 1 decent game, then benched after 2 sub-par games and an injury. Duke is not replacing Knox. Throughout all these posts, the theme for anyone apposed to Duke getting the nod is that he doesn't offer enough to sit someone else. It's not just us, it's the coaching staff that I trust and has taken us to the record we have right now. As a couple of posters noted, we didn't lose to Baltimore because Duke didn't play. If Josh hits a couple of passes that were available in the 1st half, we stand a good chance to win. Those were not contested balls, they were way off and even Duke wasn't catching those.

Haven't you been reading?! Duke caught a TD vs. Tennessee!

Thanks. I am Dopey. Dopey me.

Then they would play 3 days later. Unless they get another bye. If the nfl went to a longer season with 2 bye weeks, maybe.

Welcome aboard. Let's not take things too personal and you'll be alright.

Not following?!? It's pretty evident what I'm saying. Videos of Duke have been posted here already. Pretty sure coach has seen them too. In my defense, I did put up a post asking, no begging coach to activate him. We'll see if he listens.

Dear Coach, please activate Duke already. Please, I beg of you. It's getting crazy over here.

OMG!!!This has been done before. We've seen the videos already. Did you see the video of the catch over Tre White in practice?

Is this a "Why wasn't Duke Williams active?" thread in disguise?

Even Sal Capaccio stopped saying "they must be saving him for a particular match up".

Man, that Duke Williams guy can sure catch those contested balls!

They have all had there chances. The coaches seem to think Duke offers less out there overall. I tend to agree. If Duke could play special teams or beat someone off the LOS, he would have been in a ton more. I just don't think the coaches want to make special teams any worse to bring in Duke. He just doesn't bring enough to the table yet. I do know Foster definitely gets open out there. I honestly didn't see that in Duke. I did watch the Tennessee game and the TD catch. I jumped up and yelled "DUKE!!" like everyone else. If he get's the call for the Pittsburgh game, I hope he kicks ass. I really do. I've said this a few times throughout various threads. Bring him in, the right way. I don't want to make are ST's any worse, just to bring in Duke. The only guy I might consider bringing him in for is Foster. But even then, Foster and Josh hit it off pretty well at the end of last year and he is getting open. It seems Duke isn't showing enough in practice or when he had his chance, that 1 TD aside. JMO, but I think he struggles beating CB's off the LOS. He's used to the running start in the CFL. Please don't bring up college. In college, 1/2 the time you're up against an 18 or 19 year old kid. Now he's got to beat professional CB's who are not wearing the "no contact" jersey in practice and he's having issues with that. I can't imaging the staff would prefer a contested pass vs. one to an open WR. The goal is still to get open. He's working on it in practice, but it seems coaches don't think he's progressed enough. As to the part in bold, I am.

Good question. Yea, OP, WHY NOT!? Just kidding. I think most people got it. It went way over my head, though. I did think it was strange that Duke(WR) would make those comments. Glad it's cleared up.

If you mean fell to us in rounds 1-3, no. Anything after that, I might be intrigued. Let me clarify, I'm not looking to replace Josh.

Yea, initially I thought it was the WR. I've had a couple of people here straighten this out. Reed83HOF was one of the folks to bring it to my attention. Thanks.

Are you saying you had your eye on a TE who had a total of 4 receptions for 0 TD's the previous 2 seasons?

I know hindsight is 20/20 but, Sammy Watkins? And traded up for him?

Am I going to get smacked with a ruler to the back of my hand today?

Bingo.

I am glad a downfall appears to be on the horizon, but I'm seeing terrible offensive personnel as the biggest issue. Gronk is gone, the oline is really banged up and a below avg group of wrs. Sure, Brady is 42 and on the decline, but if he still had a Gronk type TE, a healthy oline, and even our WRs, they beat the Chiefs and probably the Texans. Ravens still smoke em.

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad it's just a couple, maybe 3 people asking for the Bills to bring him in. Dude is 20/30 this year. 1/5 from 40-49 6/8 from 30-39 4/8 from 50+ Now, if you want a pro bowler from 20-29, he is 9/9. Anyone else see Chase miss a 47 yd fg late in the game for the Colts? Guess what the Colts lost by. 3 Points. If you wanna replace Hauschka so bad, at least find someone better. That is the goal. No?
