Bills Pimpin' Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This is worst WR corps the Bills have EVER fielded. Worst in the NFL right now.......that is bad enough.........but the worst EVER fielded by this woeful franchise.........that took some doing by McDermott/Beane. Two games lost already because of the Watkins trade..........and the collateral damage is also becoming very significant. A second and third round pick were dealt to acquire the pick to select Zay Jones............and this kid is SHOOK to the core........might be the fastest any Bills player has ever needed a "change of scenery". The bottom line is that Drop Zone was not prepared to be a feature WR.........he should have been eased in as a big slot against nickel and dime corners not starting early in the season against boundary 1's and 2's. Additionally........with no concerted effort to acquire even a serviceable NFL quality deep threat........the formula for offensive success has been diluted resulting in an unrecognizable swill. The key stat for Bills RB's was yards before contact.......that room was created mostly by stretching the D vertically thru the combination of Taylor's athleticism and his ability to get the ball deep to good deep threats like Watkins, Goodwin and Hogan. Without that.......the league's second highest paid RB Shady McCoy looks like garbage averaging 3.2 ypc and no rushing TD's nearly 1/3 of the way thru the season....... behind what is MOSTLY the same OL still trying to do a lot of the same things that worked before. This is a developing offensive disaster for a VERY OLD TEAM that was built to win now..........and McDermott is not oblivious to it........the second question of his PC was "why didn't you do more for your WR corps before the season?" and he was on it like he has been thinking about it a WHOLE LOT. It was bad enough not getting a legit #2 wideout in the winter/spring.......but then trading your #1.......awful. Your takes are awful. Bills are 3-2 with all of the wins against division leading teams. One loss is against the NFC leading team by 3 points. The other against a very solid team on the second of a back to back road game without their 2 best receiving targets. Maybe you think the Bills should be 5-0 but that is as outrageously ignorant as this post. You need to look around the league brah, settle down and see how this plays out.

MAJBobby Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just for the record through 4 games (before today) Bills have had 4 drops. For comparison OBJ has had 4 drops himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racketmaster Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This wr corps is pathetic. Bills lack playmakers at the position and Tyrod needs help like most NFL qbs do. Watching guys like Holmes and Klay play significant minutes this year tells you everything you need to know about this group. That said, Tyrod needs to play better for this offense to be successful.

BADOLBILZ Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 With Matthews out, Clay being lost early, and Jones looking like a rookie, yes the receiving corps is bad. Not much you can do when your top-2 receivers are out and your rookie is playing like ****. Oh and your QB refuses to throw to guys who are open. Charles Clay is not a WR........he has chronic knee and back issues so expecting him to hold up to heavy use was unrealistic (though he had been defying the odds). This is about the WR corps. Matthews is a good Big Slot receiver.......but not many teams want one of those.....if they are going with a big player there they want a TE..........it's not a position anyone is spending on because it's a vertical passing league.........which is why the Eagles had to throw him in for free in the Darby trade despite the fact that he put up solid numbers in a weak Eagles passing attack. They'd seen enough......they had a QB they thought was better suited to throw the ball downfield so they got some wideouts and dumped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling Bado's takes bad is lazy. He has had a couple bad ones for sure but for the most part he is on point.

bobobonators Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wasnt there talk that Webb was going to maybe play WR today? JOE. WEBB. A QB was in the pregame coverage as a possible target at WR. /end thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just a question how did a bunch of no names do a couple years ago when Fitz (will all his flaws got the ball out on time) was QB? 6-10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 6-10? 4-12; 6-10; 6-10 to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behindenemylines Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 When you have a turnover count this good you should win 90% of the time. The O couldn't produce. Passes all high and away and no scramble from the pocket today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just a question how did a bunch of no names do a couple years ago when Fitz (will all his flaws got the ball out on time) was QB? They went 6-10 in back to back seasons. So not so good would be your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Pimpin' Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 True. But this one hurts because of the injuries. Cost the game. The game was lost because the offense sucked, which includes Tyrod too, not just the receivers. They were all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Boldins legs are as capable as Zay's hands. It's just not happening. The position has been neglected for such a period a time where they not only have to fix it but start from the bottoms. The Bills have nothing at WR. Nothing. We spent 2 firsts and then some on Sammy, a 2 on woods, 3 on Goodwin, a 2 and 3 for zay, traded a starting corner for Matthews, not to mention all the day 3 picks/trades What's an appropriate amount to invest?

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) A lot of people thought this receiving group would be solid this season. Numerous people predicted very solid number from Zay Jones in particular. They said he'd easily replace Robert Woods production from last season and that Matthews would replace Sammy. Those people were a little off base. To be fair who the heck thought Zay would struggle this much? He has struggled so much it is becoming comical. And also, Matthews is supposed to be a huge part of our receiving threat. Just like when Sammy would be out, when Matthews is out we are going to feel it. Just for the record through 4 games (before today) Bills have had 4 drops. For comparison OBJ has had 4 drops himself Apparently statistics lie because Zay has easily had 4 drops by himself before today.

Apparently statistics lie because Zay has easily had 4 drops by himself before today. Not according to people that track these. And track all the teams the same, which gives a good comparison on what QBs are hurt by their WRs dropping numerous Balls. SSHhhh, how dare you say it's Tyrods fault at all you must be a hater because that doesn't go with their agenda to point the blame at everyone but Tyrod. Tyrod was great today he had to hold the ball because there was nobody to throw to, the line didn't help with blocking, the OC had another bad game plan. I feel so bad for Tyrod his talent is so wasted here, if he had a WR like Watkins I bet we would be SB bound. Did you see he only had one INT today and that wasn't his fault either the ref gave him a wet ball. Yes like the Logan Thomas Whip route. He held the ball way to long and then airmailed th throw after trying to get Thomas to go up the field because he didnt throw it on time. But i am sure people will say it was Thomass fault.
