Gabe Davis out for season.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Obviously we have the benefit of hindsight but man, does it look like Beane chose to right time to cut bait on the departing vets:

 

Diggs: out of the season, was 3rd option 

Davis: out of the season, underperformed on the woeful Jags

Poyer: gifted two big plays to let us win, Miami fans hate him

Morse: doing well but stuck on the Jags

Dodson: waived now on the Phins

Dane Jackson: buried on the bench

 

I know there's luck involved but I can't think of anyone who left who would up in a better situation

It's a violent sport

Maybe the Bills got kinda lucky (in terms of injuries) thus far this year.  While I get the karmic aspect of former players being done for the season, last year at this time I was wondering who was doing to play D for this team.

Rain on a wedding day

A free ride that isn't going anyplace

Good advice that you just can't take

Hate to see those injuries.  Hope he comes back OK.

 

 

Did the Bills want to keep him?

I don’t see a receiver we have now I would take off the field to put Gabe in honestly.

According to several sources, Gabe Davis has a torn meniscus and is out for the season. Ironic, isn't it? 

Beane was so smart not keeping guys like Edmunds & Davis.  

[Jerry Jabber]

I don’t wish injuries on anyone. Hope Gabe has a speedy recovery.

Beane's ability to understand that a boundary guy who can block well and catch the occasional pass doesn't need to be your WR2 and could cost a fraction of what a WR2 makes was very stout

 

Hollins is one of those unsung but very useful players  every team needs.  I wonder where all the posters who were whining about the Bills signing him have gone.

Funny how one trade transforms our Unit from the worst in franchise history to a very good unit.  And we’ve only seen them on the field together for a millisecond.  Let’s hope they can all be there come playoffs

@Mr. WEO

 

maybe you could start a gofundme for him?  

 

 

It did significantly transform them for a couple games and their potential going forward.  The hardest receiving weapons to find are the boundary receivers.   Acquiring Cooper as Coleman was also breaking out has very much colored our view of the weapons around Allen.   In lesser roles and against lesser defenders the other players are much more impactful.  Statistically, the passing game the past two weeks with Coleman out and Cooper limited has not been good.

Could use the cash for padding replacement?

And Kincaid for a handful of plays.  Add both of those guys and I think we’d be decent, with Samuel now finally becoming an actual factor

We've had our full share of injuries, seems to me. 

Milano (IR), Smoot (4 games, IR), Solomon (2 games), Taron Johnson (4 games plus most of a 5th), Terrel Bernard (3 games plus most of a 4th), Spector (IR), Carter (IR)

 

And that's not touching the offensive side of the ball, where Coleman, Cooper and Kincaid have all missed multiple games and Samuel is reportedly playing with a turf toe.

Not sure that’s irony. Hope he is alright.

It’s like rai-ain on you’re wedding day, it’s a free ride, when you’ve already paid, it’s a black fly in your Chardonnay… oh wait, those things aren’t ironic either. 

[Freddie's Dead]

That sucks, hope Gabe can fully recover.  All the best Gabe!

True.  All true.  Still, something is different here this year.  Maybe other teams have regressed and the Bills are just playing solidly and hanging in (it's a distinct possibility).  I'm not predicting a SB win, and I think that we all know better.  While I was more in the camp of "the Bills have no depth" heading into this season, I think that they actually... have depth.  And that's why they're in it.

I could see that, the old Shaq Lawson/Jordan Phillips method.

Someone once said “You can’t go home again”.  Guess it doesn’t apply to Bills players.

Ironic? No, not at all.

 

Sad? Yeah. Hope he recovers soon.
