DDD Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Please, be more ignorant and pessimistic, there aren't enough Bills fans falling under that category right now. It's called reality. You might want to look into the concept.
Mikie2times Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...p;#entry1186633 This is thread I started last week. I don't think Hardy will ever develop. The reasons I stated in this thread ended up being painfully obvious today. At one point Hardy made a cut and just toppled over.

commish95 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Never count your chickens before they are hatched. Just because a guy is drafted high doesn't mean he can play. It's pretty obvious James Hardy isn't a very good WR. He can't shake a defender to get open, and doesn't know how to position his body to make a catch by shielding the CB. He's a guy that will catch an occasional fade pattern in the red zone but that's all I see from him. A legit #2 WR opposite Lee Evans remains a high priority this off-season. He was open a few times today and Trent took the safe route and checked down.
StupidNation Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 That sentence alone proves my point. You don't know what you're talking about. You think Reed is a legit #2? Good #3, but not a legit #2. He comes to play, but Reed is not a legit #2.

keepthefaith Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Why isn't he making more plays? You would think that with all of the single man coverage that he recieved totay going up against a 5-11 4th round draft pick that he would have at least made some plays today. Wouldn't yah!!!!! I know that he is stil very inexperienced and raw but if you look around the league at the other rookie wideouts statistics at least they are making some plays. Ex. Donny Avery-23 receptions for 363 yards 2 td's, James Hardy 7 receptions for 66 yards 1 td. Did he play today? Hard to hide when you're 6-6.
TheChimp Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Not that I'm as smart as everybody here, but I'd have liked to see Hardy actually TRY for that ball, even if it WAS underthrown. Dude lacks passion.
Mikie2times Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah I seen TO fall down today. He is a bust. Right, since TO fell over he's remotely comparable to Hardy. I could give a crap whether or not you believe me, Hardy will never amount to anything because he's not athletic enough to get open.
Trader Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 That endzone throw could've been caught by Hardy if TE had put about 6 more inches under it. Several of you made some great points here. Edwards and Hardy need to develop some compatibility or this season is not going to end well for the Bills. Our D is not reliable and our running game is not going to get better behind this line. Edwards and the Receivers need to outscore our opponents to win consistantly.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 It's called reality. You might want to look into the concept. The only "reality" in the NFL is a team's record. At 5-3, the Bills are right in the mix of things and have a good chance at going 9-7 or 10-6 and making the playoffs even if we play average football from here on out. 5-3 is our reality, everything else is just opinion and in your case it's just meaningless pessimism.
SKOOBY Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Because he runs routes like Frankenstein Been there, seen that.

One of the handful of times on this board I've seen you say something intelligent.
