Kelly the Dog Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 yeah, this group scares no one. Philly works as a short term replacement in the slot. I am hoping that they continue to incorporate Logan Thomas. Yep. I expect more two and three TE formations than three and four WR formations. Logan has a chance to add something. He looks like he is getting open a little. Tyrod threw at least five long balls last week out of 21 throws (two to Zay, two to Clay, one to the other Clay). That should keep teams from loading up the box just to stop Shady and if he continues to do it, especially to TE Clay, that should open the field for Nicklaus O'Leary and Logan Thomas.

Domdab99 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 This doesn't mean Reilly won't get called up, as well, at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Important for D to come out strong so Bills don't have to play from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCuse 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! What did you expect them to do during week 5 of the season? Free agents are picked over and probably aren't getting anything special in a trade either at this point. Yes I would like much better, but its not practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 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. It is not complacency when you bring back a guy that was with you in preseason and knows the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 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...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't care if you caught a 1000 balls in college. So far his early NFL career he can't even catch a cold. Reilley is amazing and proved in preseason he can actually stick to the leather. Maybe Zay figures it out and gets this mental thing out of his head, but we still should give Reilley a chance sometime the end of this year.

boyst Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 it's not like there are really talented guys out there to pick up. those talented guys are possession players. Speed gets you signed. You can't coach it and it kills. Brown isn't slow. But I'd love to have someone like Ted Ginn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lv-Bills Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) It is not complacency when you bring back a guy that was with you in preseason and knows the system. It's complacency period that this is our Wide Receiving corps. No excuses. It was awful before Matthews got hurt. It's even worse than awful now. There is no debate. Now, that being said, it's a bummer that we have a really good chance to land a 4-1 record, but the one thing that most likely will hold us back from that fact is a position that should have been addressed months ago. Call it what you want. It's awful, and it's something that might bite us in the ass. What did you expect them to do during week 5 of the season? Free agents are picked over and probably aren't getting anything special in a trade either at this point. Yes I would like much better, but its not practical Honestly, I don't know. That's why 90% of people with a brain would have addressed it before the season. Philly Brown is basically a zero out there. It's a bummer. It's bad enough that WR wasn't addressed. What the hell were they thinking though, when they even considered what would happen if we were to incur injuries to the position?

Yep, and on all 5 long balls the receivers had beaten their man. I suspect we will go with the shorter intermediate throws to McCoy and the TE's and continue trying to go over the top as well.

Lv-Bills Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Actually there is debate because you are not the omniscient God of football whose word cannot be questioned. Except that this one is a no brainer. Period. We have no WRs. And I think, in a weird way, that even though we signed one today, it actually made us even worse!

offsides#76FredSmerlas Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I love all the football experts who keep yelling for Reilly. There is obviously a reason he is not playing on the 53. I don't think we have a stupid coach. Did we forget he has seen him perform in practice everyday and has spent many hours working with him, talking with him, teaching/instructing him, reviewing film on him, and he has continued to evaluate his progress every week? But because so many of you have watched him catch 11 balls in preseason you think Coach is crazy for not adding him on the 53 man roster. I liked what I saw in preseason too but lets be honest there's a reason why Coach McDermott is the coach and we are in the stands watching.
