I think the Bills defense under McD demonstrated several years ago in the wind game against NE that they strive to make offenses one dimensional... as long as that dimension isn't running the ball. The more things change...

I say no to the trade because he is still worth more to the Bills than any other team. The biggest problem with him is the expectations, he is not the type of WR who is a #1. I thought at best he was a #2, he was not known for his route running, speed or being shifty, he is big and physical. He projects well to win jump balls and block downfield. The bigger issue is the the Bills have a weak pass game plan. Three guys got here to produce less than they did with lesser QBs. So, I do believe he is more talented than his production suggests. Bean did not miss on the talent but did miss on the guy. I would not try to trade him since he has no value. They should try to develop him as he does have tools that could be useful. If at the end of the next preseason the light doesn't go on for him trade him for a bag of used footballs or cut him and move on.

Gotta get this game on Thursday. If we get the W? We're right there among the Colts, Broncos, and Patriots. Colin Cowherd having Ravens (5-5) 2 spots ahead of us on his Hierachy is absolutely laughingly bad. We'll see this Thursday if that holds up.

So you are saying it’s not about the people but it’s about people that know how to do the job? It seems like that’s a serious contradiction. I want the personnel on the field that are more likely to do the correct thing

It’s personal reasons…rumor has it it’s for the birth of his child but I don’t think he wants to be public about it

Exactly. Each week this year is like a box of chocolates lol

Texans are third in their division and have no room for error

You should go back to ignoring me. It will be the 4th time - at least. Just getting the lay of the land. Didn’t mean to upset you. You’ve got enough on your plate.

Let's get the W Then all we need is the Pats* to drop one game somewhere. Then it's on!

man, Stroud missing so much time is concerning

What's going on with Shakir? He reaggravate his injury? If he's out I expect Coleman will then be active. Playing is another story.

Ya I'm not against them if they work, just feel like we've seen alot of them since the bye week

Let's wait a little bit longer to put Shavers on a list like this. I'm glad to see that he made the most out of this opportunity, and it was great to see something from one of our receivers. He needs to do more than this to get a comparison like this.. I hope he can.

Pretty sure we currently have a good o-line. And I'm not definitely defending Beane here. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-sacked-quarterbacks-this-season Otherwise, James Cook wouldn't be getting good yardage numbers and Josh Allen would be top 5 in the NFL in getting sacked.

I think defenses have decided that James Cook has to be stopped and are stacking the box more in the last couple games (Miami and Tampa) In the Buccaneers game, I think Brady started to figure that out and adjusted his strategy accordingly. Houston will look at what Buffalo did and try to counter it. That's how the NFL works. The best teams are not one dimensional. If opponents focus on shutting down one aspect of their offense, they will have the ability to do something else. No defense can shut down everything at the same time. Most of the time there is a guessing game going on between offensive and defensive coordinators on opposing teams when the teams are multidimensional.

I'm expecting a painful day when the Bills D gets shredded by a back up QB and Josh has to outscore whatever they give up. Sweep the leg!

It was one of his statement “don’t ever question me, Gordy” games. He was amazing, unfortunately, a few will still question him. I believe Chris Berman mentioned that Otto Graham had 3 pass/3 rush TDs in a 1950s championship game? So, it may be distinguishing from that. That said, up thread @Big Turk mentioned something about Otto Graham getting those six TDs with only like 160 yards of offense. Josh doing it with the offense he produced yesterday, with all three passing TDs being from 25 yards+, and doing it twice in his career makes it more impressive. Appreciate ya, bro. Go Bills!

I don’t care WHERE we get a competent WR, I just care THAT we get a competent WR.

Huh? I get people like Shavers, his work ethic, and are disappointed in Coleman. There's good will towards Shavers and not towards Coleman right now. I get that. But let's not rewrite history... Shavers had a single catch all last year from Mitch Trubisky in Garbage time. It was a cool TD when the other team had given up. But that's the grand total of his contributions prior in "the last two years". And up until Sunday, while being active for all 9 games prior just like Coleman, he had a grand total of 7 catches for 81 yards in all 9 games *combined*. Even as disappointing as Coleman has been this year, Shavers was even more invisible. And Shavers performance was good. But it wasn't better than Coleman's Week 1. Right now, Shavers is the better option bc he's going about the work the right way and isn't missing meetings. And it was a good outing this week. But saying he's been the "much, much better player than Coleman" is completely inaccurate. I don't want to make it seem like I'm sh-tting on Shavers. Again, it was a solid performance. But people need to relax. It was one solid performance in 10 games. Before that game he showed to be a solid blocker a decent Special Teams player, but a guy who wasn't getting open or making plays when he was on the field. Hopefully, he can build off of the Tampa game. But saying he could be the Stevie Johnson to Keon Coleman's James Hardy, talking about him in the same breath as Kyle Williams and Christian Benford at other positions, and other posters comparing him to Hall of Famers... it's out of control. Take a breath. We need to see a lot more before we can be saying things like that. Right now, until he shows more, the more apt comparison is Robert Foster. And Robert Foster showed more than Shavers in quicker and in less opportunities.

I'd like to see someone unexpected really step up on this team

I know this is last weeks game, but I thought you would all enjoy watching an ultra condensed version of the 6 TD game 😃

I remember when I thought Rpbert Foster was going to become a good receiver. And then he disappeared forever. We'll see what Shavers turns into. That game could have been the highlight of a forgettable career, or it could be a springboard to something more. Time will tell.

Uh, you know that they are our allies, right ? .
