He caught 4 short check downs for a total of 25 yards.  Then was quickly brought down.  The YAC for 25 total yards isn't something to point to.

I think you're beinf asinine. He caught every ball thrown to him and picked up very solid yards after contact. If the all 22 is showing that Kincaid is getting open, it's not crazy to say that so far has shown to be a more reliable option than Gabe Davis and coaches should direct Josh as such. As "damned by faint praise" as that statement is.

Expand  

It's not hard to be better or more reliable than Davis. That's not saying much. I never implied he won't. 

 

All I'm saying is Bills fans are so quick to declare new draft picks as gold. It's a pretty common theme. 

 

IMHO, if anyone deserves some accolades early it's Torrence. He really held up well vs the tough Jets Dline.

You're a liar. All he said was that he looked pretty good.

Which he did.

 

If you ever get to wondering why folks here consider you to be trollish, making up false narratives about what other people say and then insulting them for it is something you might want to reconsider.

If you don't wonder why folks think that, then you probably are a troll.

Gabe Davis is the greatest single game WR in NFL postseason history. I'm good to roll with the guy who shows up big, in BIG GAMES. Just throw him the ball.

I'm not denying that. I'm just amazed at how some are salivating over Kincaid's first game. I'm mean let's get real! It wasn't special or memorable. It was average and ok. Good at best. Four catches and 26 yards and some fans are doing backflips and somersaults. 

Expand  

 

Who is salivating or doing backflips? It's the kids first game.  He caught the passes thrown to him and his catches kept us in good shape on 3rd downs. He got 8 yards on a 2nd and 10. 6 yards on 1st and 10. 3 yards on 2nd and 4.  All three of those were scoring drives. 9 yards on 1st and 10. 

 

Did he do anything amazing?  No, not really but he is a rookie TE.  Were you expecting to see prime Kelce out there?

Davis is underwhelming, but how many targets do you expect for a WR that generally runs deep routes against two high? That's not a game where he has a high volume, that's the type of game where those underneath routes should eat.

As a 4.55 guy, it’s a particular challenge 

 

 but as a guy with terrible shuttle/cone, and “very poor” grades in agility with the RAS metrics, perhaps underneath is also not his spot as he isn’t running whips and such either. 
 

He’s a good mid round pick. He has a spot in the league. He can’t win against CB1 consistently though and you can’t be the team that pays him his second contract.

Josh should have made a different choice, but no one can say Davis ran a good route that play. The guy telegraphed his route and allowed Whitehead to jump the route.

Expand  

watch that Kurt Warner video.  Davis is supposed to go 10-12 yards before cutting 42 degrees.  Instead, Gabe only ran 7 before he made his cut, bunching himself between Sauce and Safety.  Gabe should of ran hard for at least 10, get S on his heals, then make break, to spot where Josh threw the ball.  Josh threw it where Gabe was supposed to be, after he juked the safety.  Warner showed that Kincaid was breaking off route too soon as well.  I noticed several times the Bills WR spacing on routes was wrong, WRs clumped together.

This happened a lot last year as well.  Multiple receivers all in practically the same spot.

That is WR 101 stuff.  It’s a simple concept.  Are our WR coaches up to par?  Or our WRs undisciplined?

Gabe is pretty much a one-trick pony WR.  He shouldn't really be a #2 in an offense that is constantly going to be playing against 2 high safety zone looks. His routes are not crisp enough to win underneath and to reliably find the holes in the zone.  He will do fine against teams with lesser personnel than the Jets or when teams play man, but OBD should have known this is not the trend for how Defenses are playing us and found a better fit for #2.

 

Josh still misses a reliable underneath guy like Beasley.  Cole had 82 catches on 112 targets in 2021. That was never reliably replaced last year (Davis had 48 catches. Unless Kincaid turns it on, it seems Josh doesn't really trust anyone underneath. It's pretty much the same as last year - Diggs or bust. 

 

Josh went from an established vet WR corps of Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, and Beasley to Diggs, Gabe, Shakhir, and Harty.  It's not a shock that he's struggling with the underneath stuff. OBD made a mistake not addressing #2.

Agree but there's no way you can declare Kincaid had an elite performance. He wasn't impactful no matter who is to blame . That's really the bottom line. He caught 4 balls for 26 yards. 

 

LaPorta and Musgrave had better games statistically. 

 

Seems like some Bills fans want to wish Kincaid as elite . Let's wait and see because the Jets game was just average. 

Expand  

 

Maybe some fans do wish he "becomes" elite.  I said he looked good and deserves more targets.

He went 4 for 4 and is after all a 1st round pick that has fans hopeful.

 

I case you don't realize it you are replying to every Kincaid post in every thread this week.

I have to say newcam, your anti-Kincaid rhetoric is bordering on crusading.
