Dang it. They couldn't just hold out one more week?

Hyde and Epenesa out https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/a-j-epenesa-micah-hyde-ruled-out-for-bills

Updated for Sunday

A skewed article by Timmeh? Whaaaaaat?

Wrolstad being assigned to us for a game against Dallas, just as Hochuli was assigned to us in a game against Philadelphia, makes me not buy into this so much. I just want consistency at this point. If Leonard Floyd busts past the OT and his jersey is being pulled about 18" away from his body? Throw the flag. If Allen gets yanked down by his collar and his jersey almost torn in half? Throw the flag. If our receiver is getting mugged a full second before the ball gets there? Throw the flag. If a WR catches the ball, turns, takes two steps, and gets the ball punched out (a CLEAR catch and fumble) at least have the decency to review the play on the field. There should never, IN ANY GAME, be a disparity of 10-1 penalties in a single half of football, with a majority of those penalties negating a team's 1st downs or chunk plays in general. I'm hoping we don't see a situation like that against Dallas on Sunday. I hope they call it even and fair, but I'm not counting on it.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Hold onto the football and quit your whinging.

He's a hugger, especially in the showers

That's what I was thinking. Not having Cooks and Gilmore at full strength for the game would be a plus for us.

Douglas has been better than advertised for us. Was definitely one of Beane's better moves over the last few years.

Maybe we can pick up Hodgins after that to ease the blow for Weo. They're basically the same player.

Weo refusing to give up on Gabe in this thread

Give it up Weo. He couldn't get open quick enough closer to the QB. Ray Charles could see Gabe Davis is a JAG, who struggles to separate, has had drop issues, mental lapses, and is about as consistent as NFL officiating in 2023.

Where is Dunkirk Don when you need him?

Maybe it will make it's way into a new Taylor Swift song too?

So, we're back to "Josh sucks" again?

I say no. I'm over the Gabe Davis experiment. He's not terrible, but I'm not paying a guy $3M-$5M to be the 4th WR. Let someone else make that mistake, just like Chicago with paying Edmunds.

A seat belt has saved my life at least twice. I've had two accidents at 60+ involving trees, with a telephone pole included in one of them.

I summarized it all for you. Fairly simple to understand for those with a 5th grade reading comprehension or better. I also outlined the difference between Diggs and Davis in the 2 games you were trying to use as a banner for your "Gabe deserves more targets" crusade. Your defense of this JAG, supposed #2 WR has more holes than your Gabe Davis underoos. Don't act like you weren't advocating for him now.

Nope, they just assigned us Wrolstad against the Cowboys instead. The kiss of death.

Gabe Davis...... His mom and Weo are gonna be p*ssed.

Your banging the table for Davis is hilarious. Davis last year, in 2022, was completely underwhelming. You talk about his overall statistics like he had any form of consistency whatsoever. If you take out the Pittsburgh game, you know the one where he had 171 yards and 2 TD's, then in 16 games he had 665 yards and 5 TD's. That is pedestrian at best and more along the lines of a #3 WR than a #2. You're throwing in the Playoffs for the sole purpose of trying to beef him up. Yeah, nah, that's not him. He had one of the best performances ever of a WR in the Playoffs against KC. You gonna say he's up there with the all-time greats off of that too? You also look at the number of untimely drops he had in key situations. There were more than a couple. You talk about the games this year, in 2023, where he's gotten 12 targets and his stats that followed? Did you bother to go into detail about the teams that happened against? No. It was against Tampa and Philly. The teams with the 30th and 28th ranked pass defenses in this league. Those were two of the four games this year where Josh put over 300 yards passing. He's also seeing the lesser of the DB's on the field, against two of the worst pass defenses in the league, and put up an average of 24 more yards per contest in those and 1 more TD than Diggs. A....mazing. Don't forget to throw in the miscues he's had this year as well. The drops are down, but he's still been the receiver involved with "miscommunication" on multiple plays this season. Josh is never going to throw anyone under the bus, but I'm fairly certain he zigged instead of holding the line when he had the CB beaten against Philly. That's objective and can be argued the other way though, which I know you would. Trying to compare him to Diggs, and act like he is somehow deserving of more targets when comparing him to Diggs, is the most laughable part about this whole argument you've concocted. Name something that Gabe does better than Diggs as a WR other than block. Better route runner? No. Better body control? No. Better chemistry with Josh? No. Better at actually catching the football? No, and I don't care about 6 drops this year either. You know he's not better than Diggs in any way, shape, or form at playing the WR position or catching the football. There's a reason Diggs is heralded as and gets paid like one of the best WR's in the NFL. Because he is. And to act like Diggs doesn't see more attention from opposing defenses is ridiculous.
