Scott7975 Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Yes. They have no speed on the outside. No separation receiver. They have a bunch of avg to below avg possession receivers.
Foreigner Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Is it a plus if a guy can't stay on the field. Of course not . Benjamin was damaged goods when he got here, same for Matthews. Good teams don't keep injury prone guys. As far as the QB or WRs. It is the chicken and the egg. The QB was no good because the WRs are bad, or the WRs are no good because the QBs are bad. Who knows, you can argue it forever.

Anquan Boldin was the first notch in the half arsed attempt to secure some solidity and dependability, and then repeatability game to game. They need WRs. 3 imho. And more importantly ? A fresh Coaching on the offensive side of the ball all around

One of the mysteries of life for me goes something like this when I question things. We pick up Matthews. injury history or not. Isolated or plagued? He gets injured pretty good at Camp did he not? First day he practiced. I recall reading it could nag him all season. twice since then. has Never been 100% i bet. Kelvin Benjamin.was he a high risk addition? Injured 3rd play was it ? Other knee. I know this stuff happens all the time. But for the Bills, it happens with guys expected to come in and play a prominent role upon the team. just seems another unusual Bills coincidence

Sternum, thumb, and knee. Bye Jordan the JAG.

I've read a lot of nonsense about how Tyrod doesn't have anyone to throw to and that's why he is so bad. Oh really? Because he had Watkins and Woods last year and they are doing great now in LA. Hogan was tearing it up in NE before his injury. Before anyone condemns the WR's please first look at the person whose job it is to get them the ball! I don't have enough energy to rebuke every one of these. You won a lottery. Cotdam revisionist history. The Bills Offense was Top 10 with TT, Top 5 when the WR you named were healthy - and he did get them the ball. TT was on the field for every game in 2016 and all but 2 in 2015. None of those you mentioned were. When they were they were stars just like they are now. Take a lap.

And that TT wasn't a key part of that #1 in rushing.

Tell me why. Edited December 6, 2017 by joesixpack
Mat68 Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Not really. Zay is developing to a consistant option. Benjamin is a beast in the redzone and down the feild. They bring in a deep threat and they are set. Intersted to see if Reiley can be the slot guy he looked like he was.
Bing Bong Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 I made a pretty reactionary thread about our receiving corps, but they were HORRIBLE last Sunday. The conversation got derailed to quarterback discussion of course. I know we didn't have a good receiving corps on paper, but these guys so obviously failed the eye test. Catching, route running, broken plays, none of that was on display. It came to light yesterday but I don't remember thinking "wow that guy had no business making that catch" all year and I see circus catches around the league every week. Maybe Zay had 1 or 2 of those, that's it. Nick O'Leary had a few "cool our back up tight end made a catch above his pay grade" plays. I'm not even talking about stats.. I get that it relies on the quarterback, but I'd be hard pressed to come up with a highlight reel for anybody that lasts longer than a minute. 13 hours ago, Boyst62 said: I really wanted Landry and we tried hard to get him, as you know. Landry will go down as the best WR in that class. Hands down. Huh? Jarvis?

Unfortunately, none of the players you mentioned from this amazing fairy tale offense we supposedly used to have will be on the 2018 roster. Time to get a real QB that will deliver the ball on time and accurately. I heard a good summary of Tyrod today. "He can do some things other QB's can't, but he can't do most of the things other QB's can." Edited December 6, 2017 by kdiggz
Teddy KGB Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Jarvis Landry > Watkins, OBJ, Mike Evans, Brandon Cooks, Kelvin Bemjamin might be the coldest take of the season ?
