scribo Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I recall it wasn't that long ago when we were all so happy Tyrod was finally going to have some legit weapons - Watkins, Boldin, Zay, Holmes. That fab four combined for one catch last week.
Stank_Nasty Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Yikes! @FieldYates Currently healthy Bills WRs/TEs: * Zay Jones * Andre Holmes * Brandon Tate * Kaelin Clay * Nick O'Leary * Logan Thomas * Khari Lee how anyone can see that lineup and then proceed to crucify taylor, I have no idea.... I honestly don't know if I can remember a worse cast of "weapons" in the drought. its impressively bad. I can only chuckle becuz at one point last year I think I remember saying close to the same thing. LOLOL.

That fab four combined for one catch last week. It's the NFL. There was a week where Antonio Brown had like one catch. Ups and downs in a season.
scribo Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 It's the NFL. There was a week where Antonio Brown had like one catch. Ups and downs in a season. No doubt. And the Steelers lost an important one because of that. Big Ben followed up by wondering out loud whether he's lost it.
JM2009 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 Calling BS on this one. TT can't get the ball out in time to hit open receivers. He held the ball way too long on Sunday and consequently got sacked a bunch of times. He needs to be able to read more quickly and get the ball out within three seconds. Until and unless he learns to do that it won't matter who his WR's are. His numbers were pretty good when he had Watkins and Woods together on the field. So, you could swap our group with any group-right? All QB.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 His numbers were pretty good when he had Watkins and Woods together on the field. So, you could swap our group with any group-right? All QB. @ChrisTrapasso Tyrod Taylor in games with his top two pass-catchers ('15-'16: Watkins/Woods) ('17: Matthews/Clay): 64% completion, 7.04 YPA, 32 TD, 7 INT This from earlier aligns with thought (or fact?) that vast majority of NFL QBs are pretty reliant on (quality of) their top pass-catchers

Sweats Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure that our WR's would barely make any other teams PS, let alone the Bills starters.
PolishDave Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Remember when some people were arguing that the 2017 WR corps was better than that from last season. I remember. I recall people saying Zay Jones was an upgrade over Bob Woods too. There was that one poster that laid it out position by position and said the Bills were either the same level talent wise or better everywhere - that there were no downgrades. I know people are sick of hearing it - but - who doesn't think this receiving corps would be immensely better if Sam Watkins was still on it. The receiving corps debacle falls squarely on the shoulders of Mr. Beane.
GreggTX Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Well we sucked with last year's receiving core as well. What's the common denominator? Poor WR quality. Poor pass protection. Oh and the defense is playing much better. We've been 10th and 11th in scoring these past 2 seasons. Maybe we do need a better QB, but it would be nice if he had someone to throw to.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Revising the Watchability Rankings Carson Wentz, the Legion of Boom and the Rams are just some of the most electrifying NFL stories five weeks into the 2017 season. See the other teams who made Gregg Rosenthal's list of most exciting squads. Moving down Buffalo's offensive depth: Losing wide receiver Jordan Matthews shouldn't be this devastating for the Bills' offense, but the team simply doesn't have any other reliable wideouts. Matthews' loss will be felt even more following the knee injury to tight end Charles Clay, which will require surgery. It's amazing that Tyrod Taylor, No. 31 in the league in attempts entering Sunday, threw the ball 25 times in the first half of a game where his top weapon was tight end Nick O'Leary.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I have to ask...... What was Sal's season prediction for the Bills? 3-13, 5-11? How about Bob Matthews too. same?

ndirish1978 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 I believe this is the first time this topic has brought up. Did you guys know we had bad receivers?!
