Good topic. The Bills do need help at WR with Watkins out. They are also without Salas, Easley, and Listenbee as has been mentioned.
Currently we have a WR corps of:
Woods - Proving to be a very reliable WR, but still not a #1 WR.
Goodwin - Give him some jet sweeps and some post patterns. He's not a possession receiver. He doesn't have great hands. He is fragile for sure. He's more of a #3 or #4 WR playing as the #2 WR.
Hunter - Loads of potential. Love his height and speed. Can he be consistent in getting open and catching the ball?? Lots of questions, but certainly a guy worth taking a chance on. We need him to come through big time with Watkins out. Could be a good #2 WR.
Powell - Has potential. Good speed/great burst. Needs to be consistent. Is a #5 WR.
Tate - Purely a ST guy, but can fill in when needed.
The Bills definitely need help at this position. Anybody know Easley's or Listenbee's status??
Word is that the Bills could get Watkins and Salas back by Week #11.
I wouldn't mind seeing Whaley bring in another vet WR for at least until Watkins gets back.
I haven't been impressed with Powell at all. Of course he has potential....but to what level? He's dropped a few, doesn't seem very strong. Nothing there yet. We need some help at WR for sure. Not sure where it will come from. I think right now, we need to hope Hunter can be a consistent target.

You're going to jail someone for spitting at a football game?
better than being shot.

I can get over Kap doing his kneeling thing...but i hate that it trickled down to our local area high schools (in MD). These knucklehead kids are kneeling during the anthem and really have no idea why they're doing it other than mimicking their "role model"
Maybe you're the one who has no idea why they're kneeling, what makes you think they don't know?
-
I hope the Bills fans boo the living daylights out of him. Even liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsberg thinks Kap is a total moron for going about it this way. People who disagree with him have every right to boo.
just as long as those booing aren't shitfaced during the national anthem.Very disrespectful. It's ok to wobble drunk, but not kneel down.

I'm one of the "peeps". No place for it in football on the field. Getting paid to play- not protest or get personal about your believes. Don't really care. Play football. Start who ever. Our fans will be really high for this one.
do you feel the same way about players praying on the field?
Hey I hear ya. I guess anyone can ignore anything they choose. Even facts. But my basic problem is Kap's 'protest' is based on a false narrative that cops only shoot and kill black people. But the statistics show a slightly different story.
Through July 2016 American police fatally shot 509 citizens. 238 were white, 123 Black, 79 Hispanic, 46 race wasn't reported, and 23 were 'other'. That translates to 24% were black. 95% of the 509 were male. Investigation found that 93% were armed. The source: The Washington Post.
Could the stats be wrong? Sure. Could you argue that 24% is a disproportionately large percentage compared to the make-up the general population. Sure could. I know this will cause a great deal of cognitive dissonance with some folks but the social discussion needs to be about facts not emotion.
I don't believe that he says cops 'only' shoot and kill black people. It's amazing how people interpret this to fit their own narrative while totally ignoring Kaeps own explanation. Like the cliche.... never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

As a veteran and a strong supporter of the flag, I hope he does play and the defense doesn't hold anything back. I don't want him injured but I do want him to understand what a foolish thing it is to disrespect the flag. Knuckleheads like this need to be treated like knuckleheads.
BTW, I truly am as heartbroken over racial injustice as anyone, but this is not how I would "make a stand". This is a total cop out and only really just makes the divide between black and white even wider. It's just stirring things up and making things worse. You want to make a stand, don't do it by shi**ing on the American flag.
Start a rally, raise money for the families effected by racism, speak up in your church, talk about it every time you get in front of a microphone or camera. There are lots of ways. This stunt is not how you bring people together and solve a problem. Keap is young. Hopefully this is just something he learns from. I really don't think he thought this through. It is my hope that his intentions were truly just about the injustice and not about our flag, country and home.
Sorry guys for the rant. Was getting a bit annoyed by the lack of patriotism on display.
Does it mean anything to you that he said he was not trying to disrespect the troops or the flag?
-
If that was the case then their open field tackling was god awful. Rams had many big gains after catches.
Another game America doesn't get to see. Wouldn't surprise me if most NFL fans think the Bills are still winless.
except for the millions that have NFL ticket.
I think too many of you are getting all up in arms over his "trap" game comment. It's a matter of semantics, It's essentially a euphemism for complacency. The point stands, hopefully the Bills won't be complacent going into this game and treat it with the same urgency that they would if they were facing the Patriots.
How do you gauge if a team was complacent or they just lost ? Upsets happen for no good reason other than 'it happens'.
-
Would you mind coming to Florida and speaking to my chain of command? They make me wear a ballistic vest that isn't very comfortable. Maybe if they heard your perspective on the relative safety of my profession I wouldn't be forced to wear it. Thank
no problem

I have low expectations for this game, but that's because it could be a trap game for the Bills. The one thing that keeps my hopes tempered is that the players showed that, despite playing a Rams team that they should definitely beat and knowing it, they still got themselves up and put in 100% effort. The trap games are losses when egos get in the way. They are wins when a team shows up ready to absolutely dominate. Let's hope they are reflective of their leaders on the field (Tyrod, Kyle, Corey) and that Rex has his ego in check and works with his coaches to create a winning gameplan and stays on the players throughout the week.
Was wondering when we would first hear this. Time to put an end to this myth.
Sounds like a perfect time for the Bills to lay an egg.
We absolutely must win the next two games to have a shot.
or win their 4th game in a row- since the team is playing pretty well right now.
-
I am a sinner on this.
To me the big change in the last 3 games and especially the last 2 is running between the tackles. Roman seemed to almost only run him on sweeps and today's NFL defenses are too fast to live on that play alone.
That's a solid analysis. He's hitting the hole quickly and he's quick enough to make the first linebacker miss him. He's fun to watch.
-
John Brodie was the QB for the 49ers in 1972 when the Bills beat a pre-merger NFL team for the first time. I was at that game, played in War Memorial Stadium.
Cool, i was there too!
-
Shady was running North!. (And had somewhere to go, so there's that....)
technically, he was running east or west, if you look at the actual layout of the stadium.
-
The niners right now are 31st in run defense. Let's not over think this: heavy sets with 6 OL, Felton lead blocking and Shady pounding the rock.
I kept hearing we used the pistol yesterday too. Has anyone done a writeup? I miss the ones Quinn used to do.
I believe overthinking this is exactly what you're doing here. Their run defense is lousy, which i think means our normal great running attack should do very well. No need to go with your suggested lineup. Still need to keep our passing options open.
-
It was an ugly win.
Considering they only got that 6 play drive in the third quarter because the bozo from LA tackled Schmidt...
Yeah, it was ugly.
there is another team out on the field trying to stop us. Sometime they do. Do we need to score 40+ to make you happy. A road win against a 3-1 with a strong defense is a great win. If we lost the turnover battle, missed FG's, had stupid penalties and still won, then maybe ugly. This was beautiful in my mind.I love defensive TD's, love that we stopped a fake punt....

Whaley should be in the Hall of Fame for trading Kiko for McCoy.
-
See my post on page 5 of this thread about why these shootings are neither unwarranted nor murder in the eyes of the law.
the 'law' covering up for the 'law' Brilliant. A 12 year old kid playing with a toy gun.... come on.
-
It's interesting that you have only insults in response to facts. You would rather cling to and repeat a narrative that is incorrect and not backed up by the truth. Just media hype, and an angry mob focused on the wrong thing. It's statistically irrelevant and desecrating the country /flag over it is idiotic.
Please give me some facts first.
-
Do the Chargers, Colts or Bears have anyone worth trading for? Those teams aren't unlikely to compete for a playoff spot and maybe they'd move a guy for a 5th.
a 5th for anyone good??? why would they do that.
-
because he is too stupid to realize there are no policies or laws that are against people of color when in fact there are rules slanted in their favor with affirmative action and racial quotas. If he is upset with the cops he should protest against them and not show resentment towards his own country.
Believe me their is A LOT I don't like about how our government does things but that doesn't mean I will be an unpatriotic imbecile.
so instead you will be a 'patriotic' imbecile.
-
you keep referencing cops killing blacks , dont deflect..
that's actually what the protest is about.
-
WOW.... okay buddy I think I'll just protest you now
just don't do it quietly or loudly or make sure anyone might see you and get upset. Protests are supposed to not be seen.
are you upset with all the african-americans being shot and killed in chicago ? not by cops..
sometimes things get tilted toward politics, not intentionally, but hard to control when people express opinions. kaep is a lightening rod.
yes, but it has nothing to do with Kaep. Keep focused if you can.
-
Ok, not sure what the point is there. He plays a game that involves getting hit by big guys? NFL players are tough people , but the guy is still a candy a$$ for sticking up for crims . It doesn't make him look tough, just stupid. He knows he's not likely to be shot when he goes to work. He may hurt when his work day is over, but at least he won't be dead.
I think regular citizens are more likely to get shot going to work than cops are. Until the tragedies of a couple months back, cops have been relatively safe for the last decade or so.
what does that have to do with anything? I would hope what you said is the truth...
can't anybody follow a flow of comments back and forth.
neither are cops actually.. unless the situation warrants it while they(cops) are doing their job..
but they often get away with shootings that aren't warranted. That's the whole point of the protests.
-
Yes, he's a candy a$$ jock who foolishly believes a non truth. He doesn't understand that a Cop is in real life -danger ( not a game) every time they put on their uniform as opposed to him putting on his. That they can and will legally protect themselves in a way that a civilian cannot if they feel threatened , and be held only to that standard when being judged. It's not a hard concept to understand, but he would rather look like a tough guy and disrespect the flag and anthem and anyone that fought for it to stick up for some street punks or people that couldn't / wouldn't follow instructions. He's a disgrace. He's also a very mediocre quarterback that played pretty well until defenses figured him out. If he plays in Buffalo I hope he is booed and ridiculed mercilessly as that is what he brought on himself with his idiotic " protest". I know that I wil be booing loudly any time he is on the field. The fact he " believes in" something so stupid and idiotic tell you all you need to know about that guy.
I bet Kaep would get hit by big black men more often while in uniform than cops do, and he's not allowed to shoot them.
-
What about the people sworn to protect and serve in our police forces? Cause he is certainly saying bad things about them.
So anecdotal evidence? Awesome.
He's talking about the ones that shoot innocent ,unarmed, black people. I guess you haven't been paying attention.
Guyz you're derailing this thread!
sorry, I'm done. Didn't mean to go on like this.
WR Corps Needs A Boost

What makes you think an aging RB can be a productive WR?
Still under contract with the Lions. Not sure he would want to come here anyway. He's retired.
