Carr blew that one
-
Hurts looks better than I thought he could, but this team is like the Falcons back in the early 2000’s when they looked like Gods all year and choked in the playoffs 2 years in a row, they played like 4 games a year against teams that ultimately ended up having winning records. The NFC as a whole is awful.

Hurry! He is still determined to prove 10 other teams wrong!
That’s gotta be half the league by now.

Ultimate gamble, I’d roll the dice if Dorsey says he can get him 15 touches a game without disrupting the O. When healthy he’s one of the best in the game at one of the weakest positions on the team.

This is his first year as the #2. Sanders and Brown were over him the last 2 years.
I am really confused by this. So the Chiefs take Diggs out and Davis set the NFL playoff record for TD's and had a 200 yard game....what are we being real about?
He completely took the cover off the defense twice. That's not good enough? Oh I get it, 7 catches and 85 yards with zero TD's would have been a better game or something?
what he did against KC was dominant, but it was because of their attention to Diggs and very likely because of the injury to Honey Badger.
Yesterday for far from dominant, he had 98 yards on the third play of day for offense and 2 catches the rest of the game, in this case the box score is a lot more impressive than the actually performance. Last year, everybody looked at the Titans game and said Henry only ripped off one big play and the Bills contained him otherwise. Which is true. The Big plays still count and do impact the game, but everyone talking like Davis is a God, need to chill.

What if Gabe gets dinged up again like he did earlier in season?
Not a chance of keeping Gabe "Peerless Price" Davis but hopefully someone in NFC (a team picking in top 10) will pay 2 1st round picks for him.
The players still need to catch the ball which is not too easy.
There’s the right comparison. Peerless was a different type of WR, but Davis and Price both get way less attention because of a true #1 across from them and get to run deep. Inflated numbers because of situational ball. Price fell on his face once he left and Davis will too.
Just now, billsfan1959 said:I don't think most fans are arguing that Davis is an all pro. But Davis is a damn good receiver when he is healthy. To me, that is the real concern - can he stay healthy. If he can, then he can put up big numbers with Diggs opposite him and Allen at QB.
Actually, It was two exceptional games out of the last six
- and you are right about that.
I think we see things the same, he needs Allen, Diggs and to stay healthy to be a good player in this offense. Take any one element away and he’s just a guy. Yesterday wasn’t all that exceptional. He had one play that at a ton of yards. The rest of the day, ehh.

Every great QB elevates the WR. Look at what Diggs has done since coming to Buffalo because of Allen.
It's more than a few flashy plays.
I think he would be a 1 on the Jets and Pats.
My point exactly, he’s playing well because of Allen, on another team he’s another body, not that he’s proven to be much more here. He has a couple of big games to lean on, but the guy has 2 600 yard seasons, not exactly lighting it up.
Any team he’s a #1 on has nobody to throw to and if you make him the primary target, he’s not getting those big plays, he gets his because the D is focused on Diggs. Be real, the KC game, they completely took Diggs out, so Davis got the ball. Yesterday, he got one on ones and managed what 3 catches? Granted one was a 98 yard play, and one was a pretty awesome fight for the ball in the end zone, but it’s not like he took over the game.

McKenzie, Kumerow, and Crowder are our "prize toys?"
And since when is draft position for a WR commensurate with his ability?
Bills fans just can’t help but loving the underdog and believe everyone is just a star that didn’t get a chance. The WR room is weak, Allen makes them look good. Diggs is a legit player, Davis is a good #2 or 3 and the rest are hot garbage, but everyone here wants to believe Davis is an All-Pro and McKenzie is a top flight slot guy, oh and Shakir is the 2nd coming of Edelman. Everyone needs to get a grip. Without Allen, there is one starter in the whole group.
1 hour ago, billsfan1959 said:You need to check your math. BTW, those were just throws at 10+ yds.
Over his last 6 games (2 of which he was clearly hurting) he has 546 yards and 8 TDs. If you project that over a 17 game season, that would be around 1500 yds and 22 TDs
Yep, you are correct, I used the wrong numbers. You are also pulling one hell of an exception game to make the numbers look unrealistic.
1 hour ago, Big Turk said:He averages 18.0 Yards per catch over his career. That's absurd, I don't care who you are. That's far more than a few plays. Doesn't even count the playoffs where he has made more than a few plays as well.
That’s actually great evidence that he isn’t an effective short route runner, but it’s a nice stat either way.

"A couple of flashy plays" he says.... right.
I assume you also think he and Jake Kumerow are interchangable.
Davis is better than Kumerow, but it’s like Bills fans forget their prize toys are literally throw always, McKenzie was another team’s cut, as was Kumerow, the highest drafted player in the WR room is Crowder, then Davis for crying out loud.
-
The Legend of Gabe Davis is far better than the actual player. He’s a good player, being elevated by Josh Allen. He’s a number 2 on this team, but a #3 or #4 on others. I like the kid, but this is another Bills fan over reaction to a couple of flashy plays.

No shock, but the timing is odd. Wonder how long it will take Denver to recognize their mistake.
-
He’s gotta clean up the mental mistakes, but he looks like he belongs with the ball in his hands. I see a Wes Welker type, hope he continues to get better with experience. If he does, he’ll be the starter.

Can the talent pool support another four teams. We all watched that debacle on Thursday night. There has been some really bad football on display the first four weeks and that’s without having to staff an additional 212 player positions plus practice squads.
I think that’s a REAL question and to me the answer is no. I was counting them up earlier this week and I see about 10 teams that need a QB just this coming year. The product will be watered down if they try to go bigger.-

Idk the rusty factor scares me. We've seen 1 seeds come out looking flat in divisional round a decent amount. I'd still want josh to play a quarter minimum
I hear ya, but I’ll take the zero risk of injury over worrying about a little rust.

Bills should bring Mitch in so he can win 11 games here while josh relaxes ahead of the playoffs
Man it would be nice if Josh could take a couple weeks “off” at the end of the year. I know it won’t do much for the MVP race, but if the Bills could somehow have the #1 seed locked before the last week of the season, what an advantage to be able to sit key starters for 2 weeks of rest, while everyone else plays.

I don't agree that it was a bad decision to go for 7. Baltimore has a former MVP, perennial Pro Bowl, veteran at QB who may be the most elusive individual in the league. If the situation were reversed (I supported our decision to go for it in Tennessee), I would be upset and the naysayers on this board would crucify McDermott.
This was ALL on Lamar Jackson. He was late (you expect better from a Pro Bowl veteran) finding the receiver. Worse, as the video shows, he threw the ball to the field side of his receiver. If he places that ball on the sideline side of his receiver, it's a touchdown. Rookie ball placement.
Regarding Poyer, fantastic play. I would love to have that explosive quickness, just one day in my life.
While I 100% agree, Lamar made a bad play, the difference between this year and the Bills of the last few years, there was a pass rush that delayed Jackson. The DL got to him and moved him off his spot, got in his sight lines, that made the ball come out late. I don’t think he saw PO at all, again because he was having to scramble, and threw a pass a little too flippantly to a spot where he didn’t expect any contention for it.Great recovery by Po. Good rush from the DL.
Pretty poor decision by Jackson.

I think Geno Smith and Brissett have made some good showings of themselves.
I like Tyrod over them because he has great mobility, won’t turn the ball over and gives you a chance to win every game he plays IF the rest of the team does their job. I don’t want him as a starter, make no mistake, but what he does is great as a back up.
Brissett is a good player, I see him as a low end starter, he’s also relatively conservative, but has more physical tools than most.
Geno is similar to Tyrod without a proven history of success. He’s been pretty miserable in any extended opportunities.
Marriota is the guy I would kill to have as a back up, all the physical tools, too damn conservative, but again, good guy to have as a back up.
Bortles makes the most sense to me as JAs back up, he’s basically “bad Josh”, which is to say 2018 Josh. I am astonished to see him struggle to catch another opportunity in the league.

Geno sux but so does Tyrod. Tyrod has never stacked stats even against bad teams while on the Bills. Also I said he has 1 300 yard game in his entire career.
Hint: It was not cause of Roman
They are both back ups. Tyrod was never a stat guy because the Bills ran the ball for 4 quarters when he was here, he had a number of games he could have gone over 300, probably should have, but if he had a choice not to throw he took it.. glad those days are over for Buffalo.

Tyrod had 1 game in Buffalo for 300 yards. It also happens to be the only time he did it ever in his career.
Who cares about 300 yard games? Tyrod ran the Roman O, where LJ has only broke 300 yards one time, it’s not coincidence. Geno has managed to not fall flat on his face for 2 games against 2 of the worst D’s in the NFL. Beating the Lions is not an achievement. Putting up yards and still losing to the Flacons isn’t exciting either. I suppose we should just ignore what little he did vs Denver and SF to satisfy saying he’s killing it.

I think we were at the camp at the same time! i was there the year they brought warren moon in, (i'm guessing between 97-99). Everyone was very nice, but i remember thurman thomas being the least pleasant out of the group. almost off-ish to the kids.
i've met john fina a number of times. incredibly nice. my mom and his aunt went to church together, and the aunt was the head secretary at my high school.
i met steve christie in his rookie year, and he was just happy to have someone interested in him. Saw ruben brown at the mall...said hi and was very nice back. i've also meet flutie on a number of occasions while in college, and he was super friendly and engaging.
I have Fina’s autograph from probably 30 years ago now haha, he was a super nice guy. -

Yes. I used to run the front door @ the Ghostbar at The Palms in LV. Our boy JP came into the club a few times. Nicest guy ever. Well, maybe not ever, but he seemed genuine and always offered me tickets to games, in which I never took advantage of. I’d go up and have a beer with him and Mike Gandy- both drank Bud Light. No wonder they sucked. Both nice guys and made it hard for me to hate JPs play on the field.
Working @ the Wynn Cabanas, Donte Whitner came in with his friends. Smoking blunts and smuggling in bottles of Hennessy. Meanwhile, in the cabana next to him, Larry Fitzgerald and his friends. Sipping on watermelon juice eating fruit. Donte was a prick. Didn’t surprise me.
Eric Wood and Andy Levitre came to the Wynn pool every offseason. Both great guys. Didn’t change my opinion of them.
Nate Clements had a cabana with us the year after he joined the Niners- he and his wife and baby were both super nice.
I sat in the luxury boxes with Nate Clements’ family for a game, Super friendly, his little one fell asleep half in the chair and half on me, cute kid.
Met Flutie once, unfortunately that did change my opinion of him, he was quite smug towards everyone around.
Not a player, but had a drink or two with Doug Whaley not long after Mario Williams signed. Super nice guy, loves the game, saw the value of getting big time players in the building. He was enjoyable to talk with, I was rooting for him to succeed, but IMO nobody was going to have any sustained success with the organization the way it was at the time.

Well, dude has thrown for over 300 yards in his last 2 games and has the highest completion percentage in NFL history through 4 weeks. Hard to try and argue he sucks based on that and the 108 QB rating. Also 10th in the NFL in yards, so it's not like he is only throwing on 3rd down.
Tyrod put up similar numbers for entire seasons and there were people that thought he was a starter, I’ll assume you belong to that group.

Have you watched him play this year? I'd rather take a late round flyer on someone else than bring him back, he is exactly what we saw in Edwards, Manuel, and to a lesser degree, Tyrod. I can't imagine Beane wanting him back based on his play this year.
Tyrod is the best back up in the league now that Fitz retired. I’d love to have him back.

Except maybe Geno Smith? Dude has been killing it in Seattle
No he hasn’t, he’s a game manager at best and he’s not much of anything when a play goes off script. GeNo is a backup that is better than the other backups Seattle has, making him a starter by default.

MNF- Raiders @ Chiefs 10-10-22
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by DCofNC
So glad Carr is not our QB.
