I hear ya. There were times yesterday that Allen got the ball to Benjamin. There were other times that Peterman had some time and Benjamin didn't get open. It was a total team disaster yesterday. My hope is the team will rally around Allen. Allen does not need the same separation Peterman does for a receiver to be open. Allen can put such velocity on the ball, defenders can't close the gap quick enough. Now the receivers having hands to catch the ball is another story. The receiving group and Benjamin in particular where letting the ball get into their body. Benjamin and the rest of the receivers will not be able to do that with Allen's passes. He just throws it too fast, the ball will bounce off them. I mean on routes where the wide out is 10-20 yds down field. They need to make a catch if it hits them in the hands. You are a pro, play like one.
Returntoglory Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) That was my exact thought throughout the game. NO EFFORT! Seriously, WTF does it take to motivate some of these players? My God,if the millions in salary they make is not incentive enough or playing during a contract year can't motivate you, what will? Edited September 10, 2018 by Returntoglory

That would be a waste of cap space. The only response I can offer is, if he keeps playing like this he won’t be eating much of anybody’s cap space. Like vet minimum if he’s lucky. Horribly disappointing! It’s just got to get better.
DuckyBoys Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 that's why the panthers moved on. Bean worked there He's well versed with Benjamin That guy showed up every year fat and out of space He knew what he was getting Tigers dont change stripes

Joe and Matt really hammer this team for a dreadful performance. IMO the best part is around 21:00 when Fairburn says that Benjamin was the worst player on the field. He mentions the huge deals the WR’s got in the off-season and how Benjamin looked unmotivated today. He had 1 catch on 7 targets which is not good. He said if Benjamin is the #1 WR, then the Bills don’t have a #1 WR. Best WR in Buffalo plays for the Bulls unfortunately
gr8billsfan Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 He had a ball delivered to his chest by Allen and he had the audacity to say Cam can't throw the ball. Are you serious? KB was trying to catch footballs with his intestines.

I agree and if they can’t learn to catch with their hands then they are not NFL WRs

On another note, McBeane have traded quite a few 2nd and 3rd round picks to move up in the draft. They also did so for Benjamin, who to date hasn't done as much without his least favorite QB, Cam Newton. ...one helluva audition......guy looked worse than an Earl Scheib paint job............
