Shamuel did show up today to make a few plays, but failed on the 3rd and 3.  Even if he makes the catch, he didn't go past the sticks, so the FD would have been iffy at best.

He failed on 3rd and 3 and on 4th and 3 in the first quarter. Neither time was he past the sticks and he didn't catch either. The first one (3rd down) he was covered pretty well by the nickle corner. 

 

I don't know if they went back to him much after that. 

 

That's the story of his time here. They try and get him going but nothing has worked so far.

I’m holding out hope that Curtis starts being a contributor. Usually it takes until November to integrate a new receiver.In his defense he’s had the turf toe which is a tough injury for receivers and Josh does not have the trust in him which translates to targets. The next game should feature Samuel, Shakir and Knox along with Cook, Davis and Johnson(who makes plays every time he hits the field).

At this point I think I'd favor Hollins over Samuel as Allen seems to be more on the same page with him.  Maybe problem was Samuel missed too much of training camp to be that effective??  Also read one article that stated once Kinkaid got hurt the Bills ran almost exclusive 11 personal the rest of the game. 

 

Hoping that either Cooper of Coleman will play next week.

Hollins has been a pleasant surprise. He’s a locker room star and leader which was expected but he has been a big play and red zone contributor. This week with 3 starters inactive, Curtis will be targeted because they will try and take Shakir and Hollins away. Let’s see if he can rise to the occasion with man coverage.

Bills do a lot of forcing it to guys early to get them going but never really amounts to anything. You seen it with Diggs last year, you see it at times with Kincaid this year. Samuel was that guy yesterday. To me Kincaid has been a bigger disappointment than Samuel because of such high expectations of him being a difference maker. Samuel has been used poorly in my opinion. His roll is kind of gadget guy mixed in with a little bit of what they ask Shakir to do for them.

 

When you look at how you expect them to be used and how they are being used it kind of changes perspective.

I feel like Curtis has been playing well this season and has been a big contributing factor for us in our 8-2. Can't wait to see more of him

 

I don't know how you reached that conclusion. That said, I haven't given up hope because he's a proven NFL player. He'll get there. Health is his biggest problem.
