    Agreed, the milkman did not deliver last night. He wins face offs with strength and leverage, but the Rush FO specialist seems to have quickness, which befuddles Farrell.

    Withers had trouble with Rush FO guy in the semis. He’s normally money on the draws. Sometimes it’s just the head to head matchup, sometimes it’s the other guys on the floor just not getting the loose ball before the opposing team.

    Tough loss. Great game. Both have been great games to watch. Hoping Buffalo wins but I’m pretty happy about watching another game next weekend.

     

    When different teams have game to Halifax there are certain players that catch my eye and I really like watching, Buchanan is now on that list. Despite size he does all the dirty work inside, which I love. He’s always fighting for loose balls and still scores some great goals.

    There’s no consistency with a lot of average WRs. If they were consistently great, they would be great.
     

    Josh Palmer last year had 2 or fewer catches in 9 of his 15 games.

     

    I’m just not sure who is the model of consistency you think we have besides Shakir?

     

    Is this like a “the devil we know is worse than the devil we don’t” situation?

     

    Elijah Moore had EIGHT interceptions when targeted last year. You’re telling me he can’t be pushed by Gabe in camp?

    I’m not to excited about Palmer. More excited about Palmer then I would be of Gabe because we already seen what he can do. Bringing up the ints when Moore was targeted is laughable. 35% of the targets that went his way were uncatchable. He caught 61 of the 65 passes that were catchable.  Moore is probably the most talented WR we have and I’m curious to see if him and Allen can make a good connection. I don’t need to see Gabe’s 5 crappy games then one big one.

    Woah this seems overly hostile.

     

    I’m not even a big Gabe Davis fan. I think he’s a streaky boom or bust boundary player with questionable hands.

     

    if he was a superstar in the making, I don’t think he would have been cut today. 
     

    I just don’t think he’s immediately WR6 on this roster either. We forget he was good enough for WR2-4 here for his career. Have we gotten that much better with Josh Palmer and Shakir that he has no value, even when he had value behind Diggs, Beasley and John Brown/Sanders?

    Problem is there is no consistency with Gabe. The big games were great, but if he’s a no show in other games what’s the point? The negative outweighs the positive. The dropped balls, miscommunications and disappearing acts all add up.

    He wasn’t a ghost.

     

    Over the last 6 games, he had 12 catches for 256 yards and 2 TDs

     

    Paced over 17 games, that’s 34 catches, 725 yards and 6 TDs

     

    Which is basically right around his career averages.

     

    He was the same player after Brady took over. Nothing changed. 

    He had 4 games with zero catches.

    Last 6 games of 2023 (including when he was hurt), he was on a 34 catches for 725 yards and 6 TD pace.

     

     

    You might want to check the dates on those games.  I think you’re looking at it wrong.

    Can’t get intercepted if they never throw you the ball. 
     

    You guys may be right, but I doubt McD/Beane would have had such high praise about Gabe if he was constantly screwing things up. 
     

    I think there’s a really decent chance he’s on the roster. I think they will disagree with the assessment that we are better off without him. I also think they will remember last year where Coleman, Cooper and Shakir all missed time. I think they would rather have Gabe step in to start than KJ Hamler. 

    Gabe was more of a ghost then Mack once Joe Brady took over.

    I dont hate bringing him into camp and seeing what he can be.  Similar to Dane Jackson, if you get 1 year of serviceable play, I'm not complaining

    I’m getting sick of bringing back guys the other teams cut.

    My frustrations with Gabe were probably more on Beane. Gabe was a solid #3 and earned a shot to be #2 but Beane never made no backup plan or did anything when it wasn’t working. Then Beane doubled down on him the next season and blamed his inconsistencies on injury.

    What a ***** game in Halifax. Was hopping to be 2 dubs away from heading to Buffalo after tonight but now it’s 3. Hopefully the owner puts winning above playing his son the next few games. Not that it would of mattered tonight but I would definitely make a difference moving forward

    He said good WRs.  I know jack squat when it comes to evaluating WR's.  Trends are much easier to identify though.    If you can find a disappointing WR given where he was drafted that breaks out in year five despite given ample opportunity his first four years to prove himself let me know.  Even with bad Browns QB play last year when they targeted Jeudy they had a 94.7% passer rating.  When they targeted Moore they had a 42.4% passer rating which put him 98th of 98th qualifying WR's according to PFF.  Ideally, if he makes the team he is our 5th WR who I pray will only see the field if one of the top four are injured.

    There is a lot more WRs drafted in that same area as him that have done nothing. Him and Jeuty played different rolls in the O. Moore still caught 60 balls out of 100 targets with 35 considered uncatchable. So is he to blame for the uncatchable passes or the QB?

    Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?

    And that Dalton Kincaid takes a step forward (or at least plays more like Year 1 than Year 2). And that Curtis Samuel can stay healthy and provide more than he did last season.

     

    That's a lot of "if's" that they're seemingly relying on instead of just hoping for. The good news is there's so many "if's" there, it's probably unlikely that none of them happen. Even one would be an improvement over last year. But if none of them happen.... whoo boy. We're in trouble.

    In order for Kincaid to play more Knox gotta be injured. Thats why he did so good his rookie season.
