I am not counting on Goodwin for anything frankly......he has not shown that he deserves that

 

but that does not mean we dont have targets......there were a couple of WR's we brought in at the end of last year that I saw real potential in

 

That's good. Except 31 other teams didn't see enough out of Hankerson, Salas, Little, Boykin, Dez Lewis, and Walt Powell to want to acquire/keep them.

 

UDFAs and Street FAs are nothing to depend on going into the season. That's a wing and a prayer/delusional mindset.

Lol!! Nope. I'm not mad at anyone. I just think Hogan is overrated because of what he does in training camp.

I was just poking at you of course Jerry.

Bills have not made enough use of the middle of the field, so my evaluation of Hogan is still incomplete. I was sure pissed when he was dropping balls till i found out about the wrist.

 

some have mentioned he might fare better in NE.

He might.

And yet it is. Funny you can make that claim while also admitting you haven't watched the film. It happened on more than just catches, which is why the all 22s are enlightening. He consistently cut routes off short, and displayed over and over again that his field awareness is lacking. Which is what you'd expect from a guy who didn't play much football before coming to the NFL.

Links would be welcome. Maybe he was told to cut off routes early because they wanted to be assured of at least some progress if not a first down (given that DBs give up the underneath stuff on third down in order to prevent conversions)? Teams almost always have an underneath guy for that reason--something is better than nothing if the primary option is taken away. More to the point, I think a lot of suppositions are being made here without much evidence. Saying that he ran short of the sticks on all-22s on plays he wasn't targeted doesn't tell me much.

 

Regardless, it's probably not worth arguing about -- neither of us are honestly going to waste our time going over old all-22s scouting a former Bill's route tree.

 

I expect that he'll do well with the Patriots, although for the Bills' sake I hope I'm wrong.

I know, it's all good. I know Hogan struggled catching the ball because of his wrist injury, so that is understandable. But, he has a tendency to alligator-arm passes, plus when he tries and fights for the yards needed for the first down (on third down) by slanting, he usually ends up short, compared to if he just would have kept going straight, he would have picked up the first down. IMO, he's a great ST player, but he's a #4/5 type WR. I wish him luck in NE.

This is my attitude too. simple enough.

 

Not so simple. If he does well, he hurts the Bills regardless of whether he's playing against our team or not. He'll be with a division opponent, so I hope he fails miserably as a waste of money for those cheating bastards.

for me it is so simple. if we are the better team we should win regardless !

Now, Mario can burn in heck for all i care.

He's better than Amendola and with LaFell gone, he could easily be the number 3 target on the team after Gronk and Edelman. I'm gonna laugh at the people who were bashing him when he's killing us.

 

Because it's more important to be right than to cheer for your team to win.

 

Got it.
