Agreed. Let Zay play outside. Shepard gives Josh a great option in slot

Love Shady but can definitely see this happening. No TDs this year, YPC pretty average and big cap hit in 2019. A team in the hunt will be glad to pull him in and use him as a bell cow or 3rd down specialist. Daboll has NE pedigree where the RBs and WRs are replaceable pieces. Personally I think RB is easiest spot to replace via draft. And Murphy/Ivory could be serviceable backfield for rest of the season. Wonder if Allen's prognosis is taken into consideration. If out another 4-6 weeks then Shady is a goner IMHO.

LOL. Dungey played his way to the bench and lost to Pitt this year. Dungy has a barely passable FBS arm. A If Allen is scared I don't see it. Takes hits, dives in end zone and is hurdling ProBowl LBs. And has a cannon arm. Not ideal but he is playing more than they planned in YR 1. This is what growing pains look like.

lol. Yes should have made it more clear. Really do think Enunwa would be a big WR that fights for the ball - unlike KB!

Because Enunwa is not a FA, still under contract with Jets

White and Hyde (both nicked coming in) were rested late in game opening the door for Dontae Johnson and Rafael Bush to get more snaps

Enunwa hurt. Wouldn't mine OBD chasing him in offseason.

Yes my bad. Pomme de terre is actually potato

I believe the French translation would be Eli "Pomme"

And not to mention Foster didn't play any STs. All reports from Training Camp and his 4 years at VT are that this kid just makes plays. Added Bonus: Our 3rd Phillips! At least he plays Offense ?

serenity now!!

I second that emotion. Old School Cool!

1. Grew up in a BUF family that went to mass together , then had a late Irish fry breakfast and watched the Bills at 1pm. 2. I love how the Bills draw our community together - creed, race, politics or gender do not matter! 3. Beating the Fins in the 80 opener after 20 straight losses. Fergie to Roosevelt leaks for the TD!

Zay looked slick on the TD yesterday. His rookie year was a mess as he had shoulder injury all year then hurt knee in night game versus Jets. He has already exceeded Moulds TD total in first two years, and is about equal in catches and yards therefore YPC too. He is not as bad as this board perceives and we can only hope his career tracks like Moulds'

Not surprising given our QB situation at start of year and developments since then. Winning and national recognition will lure players here in time. Hopefully just like the late 80's and early 90's. Lofton, Bennett, Sam Adams, Ted Washington, Bryce Paup came here because they saw the upside.

please move away from the ledge....per WGR re-signed to PS today

For the record we did not only rush 3. McD and Frazier will send a LB or DB instead and drop a DE (Murphy or Hughes) on these dialups. btw, Hughes and Murphy have played OLB in a 3-4 and can drop as both are very athletic. If Star or Jordan Philips drop, that's a Rex call.

thanks - wow interesting take as so early didn't realize standings are so close. My take is pretty simple. Teams with new QB/OC will get better as season goes on. Helps Bills and Jets. Personally don't see Pats or Fins getting better as season goes on. My take is only 1 team from AFC east makes playoffs this year.

Ok my first dive in this end of pool this year. Bills win 27-21 in a close one. Ray Ray has a PR ST touchdown. Bills win Turnover battle 2-1 and a Edmunds pick /return sets up a Shady TD. Allen finally hits Foster on a 64 yd bomb for a TD. Go Bills

I hear ya but wondered why OBD then looked the other way on Jordan Phillips' behavior in MIA. Per reports he basically F'd you his way off the Fins.

Weird - I still can't see the manufacturer label on that throwback jersey you wearin' !

Shaw66, many thanks for doing these weekly, especially after a game like yesterday's. I share many of your sentiments and have some items of my own as listed below: After the Bills peewee game, I watched the Saints varsity offense do some great crossing routes versus man, where slot guy does flag to corner and Michael Thomas does a drag across from the Outside position. One of the 2 WRs was always open, and I mean HS football open! If teams are going to man press our WRs and come up to the LOS to do so, wouldn't rub routes work really well? Someone with more football playing/coaching experience please comment? When we got to the 20 yd line we had 11 personnel in and sent all 3 WRs and TE on 4 vertical routes against an obvious blitz. Shady stayed in to block but the interior of OLine apparently missed their assignment. I thought protection calls go inside out - will love to see the all-22 on that pick in end zone. Allen looked like a PeeWee or HS QB on that pick. I think they cover "Don't throw late (especially across your body off your back foot) over the middle" on Day 2 of Pee Wee. The Bills must be planning on some OLine changes long term as they have 4 young dudes (Teller, Boettger, McDermoot and the new signee) on the active roster. Can see a couple of them seeing playing time after the next couple weeks. Let's hope Hyde is OK because we have little depth at DB as Bush was covering slot when Johnson got hurt. If they don't like Gaines and Taron Johnson has a bad shoulder, why not sign Leonard Johnson as insurance and waive goodbye to one of our backup WRs OL or DL? 7-0, 13-0 and 16-0 are not scores that would cause me to abandon the run. And yet Daboll did. Why not put in a packed (All personnel inside the #'s formation) with RPOs and rub routes galore to free up some quick hit passes for our rookie QB? Would love to get yours and other TSW members takes on the above. Thanks

Not a fan. We already had the highest paid back in the league for 2015-2016 and got nowhere. Now sign a guy who will be same age as Shady was when we traded for him, to keep him long term pay him 150 -200% what we would pay Shady next year and hope he doesn't do the 'herb anymore. Bell is Anti- process, Avenger series anti-matter as a locker room influence. His own team mates can't stand him. Not to mention he would have to agree to sign here long term before any of the "cool kids club" NFL Free agents of 2019 decide to take a chance on coming to the BUF. LOL, ROFL I have to pass!

here's the article detailing the Zero Chance of signing him. The title can be misread to indicate that he signed. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/09/zero_chance_former_titans_wr_rishard_matthews_signs_with_buffalo_bills_report.html

Fouts will likely tell Allen to grow a true man beard for starters. Then stay in the pocket. And get John Jefferson, Kellen Winslow Sr. and Charlie Joiner as receivers!?
