You could say that about Mike Evans too which I think is a valid Davis comparison, obviously with less overall talent. Similar type WRs.

Coaches are always going to let players try and play if they can. Realistically you could probably make the case 50% of dudes who play with injuries aren't better than a healthy replacement but rarely do they sit them out of the player can go. This isn't a Bills thing, it's an NFL thing. Additionally, point me to a team that has good OLine depth. Almost none do. Some don't even have quality starters. Been a huge issue in the NFL for many years now.

The Jets are ranked 16th in pass attempts per game. League average. Bills are at 37.5, Jets at 34.1. A difference of a total of about 35 more attempts to this point in the season. There is no way Davis is somehow way ahead of most teams WR2 because the Bills have thrown the ball 35 more times than the 16th ranked team. This argument holds no water no matter how much you are convinced it does.

I think he does as well. There is something about growing into a role also and having to learn how to adjust as defenses paly you differently also. I think he will be fine and likely take another step forward next year, assuming the Bills resign him.

How many offenses aren't pass heavy these days? The Bills are only 7th in pass attempts per game, let's not act like they are first in the NFL by a wide margin. This doesn't appear to be the case. The difference between the Bills and league average in passing attempts has been a grand total of about 35 up til this point in the season. You really are trying to claim a total of 35 more passes attempted would have this big of an effect? C'mon man...that's silly.

Valid points. I mean Davis is squarely in the 20th-40th range in terms of most WR stats this year and is on pace for 942 yards and 8-9 TDs. Already has a career high in yards. If there are 32 #1 WRs statistically, #2 WRs would fall between 33-64 logically. He is well within that range. If people are disappointed in him, it largely is because they had unrealistic expectations to begin with. Only so many balls to go around. Probably Madden related...that game has caused more ridiculous and unrealistic expectations over the last few decades than anything else.

All Hamlin had to do is make the tackle instead of running into a blocker in an almost comical way. Should have been at best a 2-3 yard gain. He has been much much better than he was in his first few games in terms of positioning and making plays when he is in space but that was a terrible look. Players don't always progress in a linear way like they do in Madden Franchise mode. McD is doing what he feels is best for him as a player and as a person most likely. And obviously what he feels is best for the team IN THIS PARTICULAR GAME. Bills probably do more week to week matchup stuff in regards to who is inactive(when fully healthy) than any team in the NFL except maybe NE. People are reading way, way too much into this. It will have zero effect on how good Elam will become two or three years from now.

I dunno...he looked pretty good in the Steeler game.

He also claimed Buffalo "wasn't that good" after they destroyed them by 30 in the wildcard game where the Bills had the only perfect offensive game in the history of the NFL in over 101 years. His takes border on comical many times. Even his partners and Matt Cassel looked at him like he was smoking something after that but he doubled down.

Never going to get that call as a safety in that situation. The entire body and ball need to be inside the endzone and that wasn't close IMO.

That's a good possibility. Adjustments once teams get film on tendencies and getting on the same page with what you want to happen on a given play can take some time to develop...especially if they are running similar play designs and concepts with subtle differences

Do they hand out participation trophies there for 11th place?

Pete Carroll is beloved as a coach...Russell Wilson tho...not that much.

Unacceptable to concede a second goal like that with under a minute left in the half. They have been the better, more dangerous team but find themselves down 2-0 due to lack of finish and poor spacing on the attack leading to no real opportunities. Netherlands burying their chances. Pulisic miss was bad standing one on one with the keeper.

Or shoot it right into the defender. Pulisic again with a terrible pass to Adams that forces him out of the box into no man's land. USA has controlled play, they just can't finish. Looking dangeorus until they get into the 18 yard box. Frustrating to watch.

Once again...USA looking dangerous until they get near or inside the 18 yard box and then lose possession with a bad pass or cross without even getting a shot off. Spacing seems off...too many players too close together bringing more defenders near them leaving no space to work. As my Dad used to tell me while watching my games when I was 8 or 9, they look like a bunch of grapes. They need to be better there. This isn't going to get it done against the Netherlands who are patiently waiting for counterattack opportunities to use the USA's aggression against them.

Likely would have been running into not roughing anyway and not a first down.

Beautiful counter by Netherlands forr the opening goal against the run of play. That Pulisic miss looking larger now.

Pulisic with a glorious chance one on one with the keeper...how did he not do better with that?? Are you saying you would turn down an invite back to her room if you met her at the bar since you could "do better"?

I felt bad for him...he was obviously severely hobbled pretty much from the first series where he re-aggravated his ankle injury and had to get a massive tape job. Came back in to try and gut it out but obviously was not anything close to 100%. Gutsy effort from him, even if it wasn't a good performance.

Do yourself a favor then and put me on the ignore list so you'll never have to worry about it again. Problem solved.

Not sure what there is to disagree about? Had a few tough plays for sure but opened up holes for the run game and Allen had time on some throws also. Gameplan looked similar to Rams and Titans game...take the easy throws, let them do the work, keep the chains moving.

Belichick has zero answers for Allen. Apparently not even cheating works.

Netherlands dealing with a flu outbreak on the team...unsure how it will affect their players. US may catch a very fortunate break tomorrow https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/world-cup-2022-netherlands-faces-flu-outbreak-ahead-of-us-match-202359061.html

For one because the owner would have to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars in signing bonuses up front. For two because most teams know UFAs are a good fill in but the draft is where teams built to last must gain most of their talent (ask the Rams) For three because obviously there is a limit as to how much you can do, but rest assured it's a lot more than most people think. Otherwise teams that were more than $100 million over the cap this offseason would have had to be gutted and instead they kept most of their important players and were signing UFA's in addition.
