Why are they forcing this guy on a team that needs every facet of the attack to be dominant in order to go deep. He shows inconsistency and low confidence the last 2 seasons. Now again missing makeable chip shots in camp. We argue about viability of safeties, receivers and lbs while this guy has no competition and continues to suck. If Beane and Sean don’t address this they’ll have blood on their hands.

The problem is the extent of Milano’s injury is a well kept secret. A simple broken bone shouldn’t take this long and have him declared weeks away from being cleared for football activities. He will have to get real time action to see if he can be counted on. Does anyone really know if he has the speed and quickness that made an all pro? We need to see a little of that.

Who cares about your rambling interpretation of what kind of offense they ran. Now it’s the percentage in the conference and rushing attempts vs passing attempts don’t really matter. Resolve your issues with someone else.

The attempts are correct for both rushing and passing. The Fla.St. season was 14 games instead of 12 because they played the conference championship as well as a bowl game. It still averages 33 rush attempts vs 30 pass attempts. That translates to a rush heavy offense.

Alright Kirby, you’re a stickler for accuracy in statistics. If you’re interested the Fla St. stats they are readily available. It says they ran the ball 463 times last season for an average of 4.5 yds per carry. That’s an average of 39 attempts per game in a 12 game season. They passed it 433 times which translates to 36 attempts average per game. Is the statement of Fla. St. having a run heavy offense not accurate? Evaluate the original assessment of Coleman being a “project” when he lead an undefeated candidate for the National Championship with 11 TDs and 50 catches. The guy you’re defending distorted the premise of the topic to go into some meandering rabbit hole of statistics for the mindless personal attack and naturally his loyal supporters come to his defense. I respect loyalty but this guy is a little off.

Now you’re protecting the board from false facts? You’re just a frustrated individual with deep seated psychological issues. I naively waded into this conversation thinking it was about receivers. Please consider getting some help. The board should be insulated from this type of weird behavior.

What’s the point of continuing with this. You’re convinced the Bills can’t win with these receivers. Who cares about Fla State run statistics? You’re grasping at straws with cherry-picked stats to what end?You have an opinion and you want people to accept it. Negativity is your starting point. You don’t acknowledge anything positive and you can’t accept the benefit a QB like #17 has on a young player. I can’t engage in this anymore. Thanks.

As far as I know isn’t the stat of TDs the most important relative to winning games. We already know the Fla State offense was run heavy so 50 receptions on an undefeated team is impressive. Unfortunately you have decided this rookie is not ready for the NFL I guess you’re most qualified to dismiss him.

What’s the obsession with killing this kid before he plays a game. His production in 12 games was tops in the ACC. In a run heavy offense he scored 11 TDs . He caught 50 balls in an offense where he was doubled a lot. He was great in the punt return game. What is your problem? Is it that you root against the Bills and criticize everything they do? Good luck.

He can’t be allowed to blow games anymore. He’s just a kicker who has a crisis of confidence. It’s incumbent on Beane to get competition for training camp with the idea of getting rid of him. You assemble a roster with guys bleeding internally to get a roster spot and this critical position has a guy that ended our season, missing a chip shot. He was undependable during the season and sucked in the playoffs. Get a kicker from Canada, the UFL or a great college kicker. Start again with a young guy who doesn’t have the baggage of disappointing his team.

In your effort to bury the kid for whatever reason, you neglected to mention he had 50 catches in 12 games and 11 TDs. Prorate that to 17 games and he’s a # 1 on the Bills. It’s Ws buddy. Better than 50% on contested balls. MVS was much better with Rodger’s. If you’re going to be a hater give us the whole story and let these guys play a game with #17 before you give your superior career projections.

The original post was a response about liking our receivers compared to last years. Your assessment of these receivers viability without seeing them on the field seems a bit premature. My point was when we were in throwing situations with 4 receivers, we wouldn’t necessarily miss Diggs getting doubled. Obviously you turned the topic on its head to flash your advanced insights about what offensive approach works and your distaste for the receivers on the roster. Kincaid, Shakir, Samuel (with a real QB)Coleman( a #1 on undefeated division 1 team) A great pass catching TE and Shakir will be a good #2. Samuel has been productive with a below average QB. MVS and the other 2 roster survivors will give us better depth than previously.

OK, if they line up with a TE and 3 wide along with 5 on the OLine, that’s 9 along with Cook and Allen. I said 4 or 5 receivers in my post. Naturally with 5 receivers Allen would be empty formation. My point is still if all these receivers and Cook get single coverage and Allen has to be accounted for, there is going to be a few mismatches. That makes this receiver group more dangerous. Diggs and Davis were not the reason we turned the season around. It was Shakir, Kincaid and Cook. Substitute Coleman and Samuel for Harty and Sherfield and compare.

If we are lining up 4 or 5 receivers in the formation and Cook in the backfield with Allen, the defense has to account for Allen and Cook and only one of the single covered players has to win their battle. Why are you afraid of single coverage against Shakir, Samuel or Kincaid. Mismatch heaven with Cook and if Davis and Cook can cause heavy boxes, Allen will pick secondaries apart. Remember, we were able to win 6 of seven without Diggs averaging 50 or 60 yards and he wasn’t being doubled in most of those games and Davis did nothing. We have better depth at receiver this year.

At the expense of your #1 getting a fraction of the targets as in Digg’s case, the answer is no one receiver will command double coverage until he establishes himself as the main target. Look for Josh to spread the ball around with a balanced attack featuring Cook and Davis running and catching balls downfield.

You expect a response?

Here’s why we’re better at receiver now. If you look at the way our offense operated since Brady took over when we got hot last season, Diggs became more of a decoy to suck up double coverage in order to open up Cook’s impact along with Kincaid and Shakir’s underneath contributions. Davis was a non-factor during the stretch run. Diggs sulked not getting touches and lost his aggression and his edge. This year we have a proven weapon in Samuel that thrived with Brady at Carolina along with Coleman who is a demon on contested catches and has that edge that Diggs had earlier. Shakir has emerged as the dependable 1st down machine that Josh has come to trust. The addition of MVS is a big plus. He had nice seasons with Rodger’s and Josh makes everyone better. Look for him to be a prime deep threat. Considering we got nothing out of Sherfield or Harty, the new additions should be an upgrade with Hollins being a versatile guy who blocks well and is a good locker room guy for the young players. Throw in Knox who will be better in the 2nd year of Brady’s handling the 12 personnel offense. With the emergence of Cook as a matchup nightmare out of the backfield, this offense should be dynamic after playing together for a month. We would have been going backwards with a malcontent as our #1 and it would have compromised the development of our new additions.Bills fan should be excited.

Since Kincaid will catch 65 balls if healthy by himself it’s a no brainer.

Probably because the Jets have to prove they can be a playoff team before people jump on the bandwagon. Rodgers is recovering from Achilles surgery and is 3 years removed from having over a 100 QB rating and is over 40 now. With a new O-line and a new receiving corps, why would you think their team would unseat the 4 year champs with arguably the best QB in football. Miami at least has been competitive in the division the last 2 seasons.

I could just see the 24 year old professional cheerleader telling Bill, “ Just do your job big boy “.

Who in their right mind would give Dak 50 million a year? He can’t win a big game. He got embarrassed by GB in the playoffs and that’s just the most recent failure. He loses games that he should win. The Bills and Miami blew them out. He lost to a crappy, decimated Philly team in Philly. He beat Detroit when the refs missed an obvious call and the Lions didn’t even need the game. Dak’s just a serviceable QB who can’t come from behind and when his running game is not clicking he can’t win with his arm. I guess the Cowboys have to pay the going rate because rebuilding is not in Jerry’s DNA. It’s an insult to give Dak Allen or Mahomes money.

This guy is going to crush the team in big spots and you can bank on it. Evaluation of our kicking game has been sorely lacking by the brain trust. He has different mechanics from his early seasons. His kicks tail off much more than the solid strikes you see from the top guys. His confidence is down from the amateurish misses in the playoffs and he probably thinks Sean will go with him no matter what. My prediction is that they are forced to replace him by mid season.

They picked him because he’s the best wide receiver left over from last year’s roster and Josh’s favorite target in the playoffs, plus he made all the clutch catches against KC. He represents the most improved big play receiver on the team. He’s not a diva and just produces.

I think they both could be impactful but I need to see 8 to 10 sacks and several RB tackles for losses before I anoint either guy as a successful early round pick. Rousseau bats down some throws AJ has some nice pressures but neither makes enough game changing plays so far. I like your optimism but Oliver and a healthy Jones are our dominant lineman so far. We need sacks or strips in big spots from edge rushers.

Kid’s showing maturity and acting the correct way and I’m rooting for him. He was a projected as a fine receiver coming out of ND and just lost his way. Keep it going Chase, if anyone can resurrect a receiver’s career it’s #17.
