Robert Foster since he came back on pace for 1400+ yards over a 16 game season...

[Big Turk]

Foster might be turning into an unexpected gem for the Bills...3 100+ yard games and another 94 yard game in the 5 games since he has been back...extrapolated over a 16 game season he would have 51 catches for 1402 yards and 7 TDs....considering we had nothing at WR coming into the season this has to be viewed as a big unexpected win moving forward...

If you discount the 30 yard game earlier in the season and before getting cut, it's 1,402 yards and 6 TD's.

[Patrick Duffy]

Quite the pleasant surprise he is.

I was counting only the 5 games starting with the Jets game after he came back...

I know.  You extrapolated it out over a 15 game season.

Whatever metric you use, it’s a dramatic turnaround for the guy. Looks like something has definitely clicked. I’ll never doubt another ‘bama guy again @Sky Diver

 I still have no idea how he improved his hands and track so much.  You almost never see that.

[Bangarang]

An unlikely turnaround. Hoping to see the Allen and Foster connection for many years.

[The Now Moment]

You have to find players that can play in unexpected places to be a great team.  Those UFA and late round draft picks that become crucial players on a team is a huge factor to accelerating a rebuild and keeping long term success. Bringing in top free agents with huge price tags and relying on 1st and second round picks to fill out the roster won't work.  Nice to see them have success with finding those diamond in the rough type players so far.  Hope it continues.

Absolutely. And don’t know, don’t care. When’s the last time we had a WR go back-to-back 100 yd games? Stevie?

Actually forgot to add in the 27 yard game against the Dolphins...wow even better...when was the last 1400 yard receiver for the Bills? Moulds?

[GunnerBill]

He will look even better when he is being used as a complimentary piece and not the focus of the offense. Because at the moment teams can shade coverage and you saw that on a couple of those deep balls. 

 

Put a legitimate #1 who is a bit more rounded (ie. can run the whole route tree and is more of a contested catch guy) opposite Foster with McKenzie in the slot and you might even have something. 

[The Now Moment]

Robert Foster deserves a lot of chatter but Mckenzie has also added another playmaker to the offense.  He hasn't had a big breakout game but he's improving.  Those two are major finds in what many fans consider a lost season.

Sammy's back half of 2015 I'd guess. He had a real run there.

I don't care either, unless he can teach other guys how to improve...

Too funny!  Extrapolating it out over 15 games gives you almost the exact same as forgetting the 27.  And IIRC, Foster got hurt in that game and didn't play a lot, right?

Another Beane gem.

Could be that that skill was always there, and it just took some soul searching to get over the bigness of the moments and do the job.

 

Foster and McKenzie should give us a lot of hope moving forward that our staff can find guys to make plays on offense. (which was definitely a concern a few months ago.)

[DCOrange]

I still don’t really trust his hands or ball tracking at the moment but he’s so freaking fast and is able to stop on a dime that he’s a really tough cover for anyone 1 on 1 right now. He and Levi were the two undrafted guys that I was at least moderately excited about. Both have looked good so far. 

[Juice_32]

I can't believe @Sky Diver hasn't come to gloat. I would be insufferable if I were him.
