OK, Tell the truth.  When Watson highlights come on the screen, does anyone else yell “You Sick *****!” ?

 

 

Yes. Then my wife yells at me for language & yelling & says she thought she'd get a break since the Bills aren't on. My 16 year old says "that's why learning to control yourself was invented Dad". 😳

Stop being a prisoner of the moment…….Hodgins was nothing special here!

 

OK, let me put it to you this way.

We cut Hodgins, then due to Kumerow on IR wound up playing 2 games with Tanner Gentry.

 

Do you think Tanner Gentry is a better WR than Hodgins, Y or N?

If we had Gentry on our active roster and cut him, do you think any team files a waiver claim, Y or N?

 

I’m not saying Hodgins is a star WR, but in the context of the talent we have on our roster we were 1 injury away from an alternative of bringing in a guy off the street who hasn’t played since 2020 or signing Tanner Gentry to the active roster.

 

In hindsight, I kind of feel keeping Hodgins on the roster would possibly have been a better move, But, we’ll see.

At 30-6 the Jags would be crazy if they put Trevor Lawrence back in this game.

31-6 For people who thought it was nothing and a disappointment beating the lions on the last second…this is NOT the same old lions anymore

This might end up being a blemish on the McBeane program.

 

Nah. He's a practice squad caliber player. Duke Williams caught a TD too. A lot of below replacement level players do. But I'm happy to see him get one.

We had to go out and sign John Brown to the roster this week and Khalil Shakir has 8 catches on the season.

When you're a super bowl contender, the talent on your roster is better than most teams. That means guys on the practice squad with some upside that weren't good enough to make your 53, are better than what a lot of teams have on their 53. He did not beat out Crowder or Kumerow. And he was gone before he could be called up.

Did you point out that if Watson could control himself, he wouldn’t have been sued by 2 dozen women for unconsentual indecent conduct and you’d have no need to yell?

Why did we cut Hodgins? Wasn’t someone else more worthy of being cut? Tommy Sweeney perhaps

He was probably a week from being signed to the roster.  Timing sucked on that

[GolfandBills]

The Steelers should be winning by 40 points. The Falcons are ungodly awful

omg fire Beane

Huge Beane fan but he should have never waived Hodgins after the 2nd callup.  Crowder was on IR and Kumerow had ankle

injuries.  Been living with 4 WR since.  I bet Brandon wishes he could take that back.

 

Hodgins will never be a #1 or even a full time #2WR but he has NFL worth.

[BillsFanSD]

Baltimore lucky that wasn't a pick 6.  If the defender had been able to keep his feet he only had one guy to beat.

[H2o]

Watching the Giants/Commanders game. Sitting here shaking my head at the idiot calls Daboll still makes at times. There have been at least 4 head scratchers already.

Philly tried to score on the final play of the first half. Got down to the 16yd line. Not sure why we never try 

 

Huh? When have the Bills not been aggressive in end of half situations?

? Hodgins was on the active roster (not just called up) and claimed off waivers when we cut him.

 

He played in 2 games and had 4 catches for 41 yds in one.

Well who would have ever thought about the dropoff from Josh to Trevor Lawrence but that is apparent today

In other words, Dawson Knox production…

[The Frankish Reich]

Justin Fields = Josh Allen, Sophomore season? Discuss. 

[Warcodered]

Browns look like they'll win, all their points scored by ST and defense so far though.

We tried this week. Allen threw a 30 yard pass incomplete with about 15 seconds left. 

 

 

Then didn't we kneel with 2 seconds left?
