Perhaps if you put more than 6 seconds of effort into starting a thread, you'd get more than 6 seconds of effort in response.

If I find myself still looking through this 15 minutes from now, you are in trouble.

10/14/24 Game 6 Bills at (NJ) Jets MNF Post Game thread
Simon replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
They still likely pick it up if Josh sticks with the play. It was a good call. -
I'm not saying he'll never make plays downfield. Those plays he does make will likely be because of his ball-tracking skills and his ability to overpower DBs on the move, they just won't necessarily lead to TDs as much as nice chunks. Although, he does occasionally put a move on a DB that leaves him stumbling enough that Cooper can plant him on the way by, so don't be surprised to see him running free because his defender is back near the LOS trying to figure out what the hell just happened.

He is not the deep threat he used to be. He has a lot of miles and muscle on him and you're not likely to see him running away from NFL DBs anymore. What he does still have is good quicks and a great understanding of the game. He understands leverage, how to set guys up, how to make different routes look similar and how to attack DB's at the line. He's an outstanding route-runner who gets open constantly at various depths and over almost the whole route tree. He can win outside more reliably than any other receiver on this roster and it's not particularly close. Last week when the Bills needed that first down to send the Houston game to OT, Amari Cooper gets it for you. He's also going to help the other pass-catchers on this roster by creating more space for them, because if you don't respect him he will make you a sorry sumbitch. Playing Kincaid over/under is now much, much harder. Bracketing Shakir on 3rd down is now a dubious proposition. Running a bunch of man coverages and attacking the Bills OL just became a recipe for self-destruction. So while you won't necessarily see him running free and hauling in bombs 60 yrds downfield, he will absolutely have a positive effect on the Bills offense at multiple depths. Plus it will be fun to watch him make people look stupid.

Well played We're here for you in your time of need, brother.

He averages 2 catches and 36 yrds/game in the playoffs, with 1 TD about every 3 games.

He's shockingly slow of foot for an NFL DB. I respect him as a gamer, but he is absolutely the most limited athlete running around the secondary for either team during nearly every play.
