    Xavier Worthy injured during 1st practice as a Chief

    In the latter half of practice during a play during the team session, wide receiver Xavier Worthy ran a go route and attempted to stretch for the ball. After the play, Worthy stretched his left leg before walking gingerly to the sideline..

    I am more interested in seeing how he stands up to the LOS bumping and aggressive tackling of NFL DBs. Does his body hold up? Will he keep holding on to the ball after hits?

    I didn't wish injury on anyone of course but the small frame will be an issue. I think he will still make a few highlight plays, hopefully not against us

    Question or topic of the day - a new idea for the board

    • If there is not enough interest to get seven days of coverage the idea will die a natural death 

     

    PM me if you are interested.  If you have preference for a particular day (i.e. you want Tuesday only) please note this in the message.  Also, if you have an alternate that you prefer to work with please let me know.

     

    Thanks.

     

     

     

     

    Good idea to try. But I think one a day is too much. Call it QOW(eek) instead and choose a day. Tuesday, Wednesday are good because there is no football on those days during the season. 

    In!

    Did we do enough at wide receiver?

    I’ve been arguing with the folks here who want us to add a name WR.  They wanted Beane to acquire Aiyuk or Metcalf or OBJ or “insert the name of your favorite FA here.”

     

    Beane is clearly throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping one of these guys or rookie 5th rd pick (2023) Shorter sticks.  I’d have preferred that Beane go GB style and draft more receivers, but for a team on a budget Beane’s is a reasonable approach.  He’ll look like a genius if one of them really emerges and makes a contribution. 

    Beane did go down that route last year with Harty, Sherfield with terrible results. As others have stated here, once the Tre money comes in, it will be possible to sign DK while giving up a pick or two next year. My guess is that with so many WRs coming into the league this year, he won't command a Rd1 pick. 

    I am holding out hope that he chooses a vet WR like DK who can make a big difference and set a firm floor for the WR room while raising the ceiling. We all hope that Coleman is good in his rookie season but that's hope and not a strategy.

    Yes but I’m talking about when they finally don’t make it to the AFCCG or superbowl- like a round 1 or 2 playoff exit. It’s crazy to think that they’ve been able to make it that far for that long. It will be interesting to see how they respond when they look mortal.

     

    …may it be sooner than later.

    We spent almost a decade saying this about TBrady and the Patriots** yet they kept winning and spanking our rears on their way to the rings. 

    At least now we have a great QB so instead of waiting for the Chiefs to magically wither away freakily get bounced from the playoffs too early, we should out gun them, fighting fire with bigger fire. We have to take them down in the playoffs, there is no other way.

    Is it true the Bills didn’t “do enough” at WR to compete for championships?

    He’s comparing this years bills to last years contenders not this years contenders

     

    Thats not clear but imo, the pass catchers on the Bills right now are better than those for the Chiefs last year

    I think the Bills have plenty to compete for a championship.

     

    I totally disagree with you. We are still missing one WR piece. No amount of comparison of this years versus last years players will convince me otherwise. We may have stocked up on overall receivers who can catch the same number of passes, but we still dont have the required element of speed. Yet again, we will be relying on Allen buying time to wait until someone deep gets open. Good progress this off season but not enough.

     

    Also, @eball your thread is a repeat and you could have added to this one instead:

    You have a veteran speedy guy already.  Isabella.  

    I said with good hands too 😃

    Guy hasn't amounted to much in his career and we cannot rely on him to be the missing piece. It's a total folly to think our WR room is complete

    The most important thing to me for the offense is Joe Brady.  Can his offense use a group including Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Kincaid et al effectively..

    Can Brady use the ones on our roster effectively? Imo, yes based on last few games he was the OC.

     

    Is that receiver room adequate? Absolutely not. We need at least one vet and/or speedy WR with good hands. Otherwise the overall offense is going to be limited and again dependent on Allen's superman efforts

    Again, what is a “legit # 1 WR”?    I look at the two teams in the Super Bowl last year.  Did either of them have a WR that was a legit #1 WR?  Or did they have a great TE like the chiefs, or a good collection of WRs and a good TE like the Niners?

    This question has been more than adequately answered by @Beck Water @GunnerBilland @Thrivefourfive. 

     

    I am sensing that you are looking for some sort of support that Kincaid is that player. He isn't and shouldn't be. We need a WR who is fast enough and gains separation down the field to challenge defenses. Kincaid will be a good one but not a substitute. Just because the Chiefs made it work (more out of necessity) doesn't mean we should strive to emulate them

    However Beane also said, if my memory serves, that the Bills passing game needed more explosive plays and someone who could stretch the field.  Instead he drafts a player who ran 4.61 at the combine.  This is where the disappointment comes in.  Beane set the expectations and then to all appearances didn’t deliver.
     

    Yes, he did indeed say that but the draft is not over yet so perhaps he drafts a seemingly one-trick pony who can sprint. I dont see such a burner in the available FA pile.

    Beane said he wanted someone who was good at what they did, not necessarily a speed guy, at least in his last press conference before the draft. Hopefully Keon can win some contested balls. If he can't it will be a failed pick. Hopefully it's not Duke 2.0.

    We still need a speed guy. Lets not talk ourselves out of that need. The deep part of the field is still not covered by anyone in the WR room yet.
