26CornerBlitz Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) @RapSheet Following the injury to WR Jordan Matthews, source says the #Bills are signing WR Philly Brown. He spent training camp with them, too. Edited October 3, 2017 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Lol knew this would happen. Why improve the passing game? There are only 12 games left and the playoffs are an actual possibility. As expected. They are taking a long term approach, we saw that this offseason. Anyone expecting them to trade away future assets for the now was off track.

YoloinOhio Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I had a feeling he would be back. Good short term solution. Welcome back Philly. We're all counting on you. Edited October 3, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not a bad move, makes sense since the player knows the offense. I still wouldn't be shocked if they make a trade for a receiver if a talented one could be had at a good price. But at least they get another body in there.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Stupid decision not bringing Reilly up.

YoloinOhio Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Why have players on practice team if they don't use it to promote when neededthey may not be game ready. Also, if you move to 53 man roster you need to keep them on there for 3 games (or they are guaranteed 3 game checks at least). In this case that makes sense with Matthews time frame. But if you need to move them off when Matthews is back, you have to waive them and you risk them getting claimed by another team. You can't just move guys back and forth to the PS. If there isn't a lot of difference between philly and Reilly (or Dupree) at this stage, better to sign the FA if they don't want to risk the developmental player.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 This is somewhat what I expected but meh. He adds a tiny bit of speed. I expect Holmes to be the #1 and Zay #2 and Philly #3. Yikes.

Lv-Bills Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Awesome. Another guy that might not be able to even be a YMCA flag all star. My god. Come on. By far, without an equal, we have the worst wide receiving corps in the league. Hands down. Especially without Matthews. It's hard to believe that even a leading Canadian League WR isn't better than Philly Brown? I get what we are doing, and like the direction, but we needed a WR before the season, and we still need three now. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly Brown, wupdedo LOL Zay is a reception monster in NCAA for years and fights the ball in the NFL for a couple games and all of a sudden he has bad hands. Recency bias much? Kid caught 399 balls in college. He doesn't have bad hands. To use hockey terminology, he's gripping the stick too tight right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lv-Bills Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 And we're 3-1. Correct. And probably 4-0 and a firm favorite this week with an NFL caliber receiving corps. Never get complacent. Huge game this week, both for season direction and AFC record. Winnable. Much easier so, with NFL caliber players at a key position that hasn't been addressed.
