It was pretty apparent game 1 that he had no desire to do anything but the minimum for this team. McDermott was crazy to keep trotting his sorry ass out on the field Sunday after Sunday. I would not want that kind of malcontent around my young team; if they did not want to play him they had to cut him. I can only imagine what the wr coaches had to say about his tape when they looked at it as a group.

No probably not, but you would have wanted to sign an often-injured player who averages 600 yard receiving to a $17 Million a year contract.

I would have thought when the WR s room ran game tape Kelvin would would have been ashamed honestly to watch himself. Cannot see that changing. all he was and will be good for is drawing coverage. Just in case he accidentally runs a good route. and has the odds on his side and catches something it could happen....

I'll tell you the words that were never said; "ok guys, let's take a look at what kelvin did on this play, I want you to repeat what he did". I'm assuming KB's tape was last and more often than not time was up before they got too far.

Makes you wonder if his body type isn't suited to the rigors of the NFL. Some guys just can't stay healthy. Update: it is indeed his other foot. The current injury is with the right foot (via espn), and the earlier one, which resulted in surgery, was in the left foot.

Was it a perfect pass from Mahomes, No. Was it a pass a quality NFL WR should have hauled in with no problems, Absolutely. I would be surprised if Benjamin continues with football. I think he Got Paid and he now wants to build him a nice house with a front porch he can sit on, and enjoy the view. I think he was kidding himself maybe that the problem was his QBs, but he got his shot with Wonderboy and as you say..... 1 1

THAT was Allens #1 option for over half the year.... dude couldn't even crack the lineup of a good squad. that's insane... i'm just gonna assume allens accuracy issues are what landed KB on KC's healthy scratch list ? …. that's the trendy thing to blame around here nowadays.

eball Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 To think the Bills went into this season relying upon Benjamin and Holmes as significant members of the WR corps...ouch. I don't care who you blame -- Beane, McD, Whaley (for the cap situation) -- that's just awful. 1

"It's just a bad season," Benjamin said. "It is what it is. Just football, man. You have good seasons, you have bad seasons. I've had successful seasons in this league. I'll have plenty more. For some reason, it's just not the year."
