MarlinTheMagician Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Kid showed he is going to be a player. Now just hope he is not hurt too bad. This is a game they can learn from. Hate to say I saw this coming, but I kind of did. Suggested that in another thread only to be told I have a bad case of BBF syndrome. Of course I do, but road game, division opponent, playing for their season, that we already beat once, Bills are jacked about Benjamin, and everyone pumping our tires all week. Kind of foreseeable. When the team is more mature and more used to success it will stop happening. NOT the same old Bills. Growing pains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Yeah, the 'bust' labels being slapped on him were asinine. He'll be a good player for us, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Loved his route on the TD. Caught balls in traffic. The threads tonight saying we were exposed as pretenders are just as asinine. What a great season so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 So, he got a couple of yards tonight and his first TD of the season........it only took him 8 games, mind you. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Six and a touchdown in part of a game where offense was rarely on the field. Buzz off. And eight games as a rook is not a long break-in period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The guy will be a player. I’m pretty sure of that! I was THRILLED to see him come back out, but I’m concerned about his condition.

When the team is more mature and more used to success it will stop happening. NOT the same old Bills. Growing pains. More mature? The problem is we have one of the older teams in the league....so hoping they can get to maturity by next week! As far as Zay goes, he looks like he's emerging. The other guy who's playing much better the last two weeks is Adolfus Washington! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I was about to start a thread called silver lining for the same reason but the thread was already started. Yes it's much more important for the team overall how Zay will play in 2018 and 19 than what happened on the scoreboard last night. He's getting open and becoming a reliable outlet and making the catches. He also has a remarkably injury resistant body to be able to get back on the field after what looked like a possible ACL which separates him from almost all our starting receivers of the recent past.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Yeah, still wearing #11. His knee went the wrong way. That # is cursed. Change it.

SaviorPeterman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The Process is definitely working with Jones the last few weeks. He should flourish with Benjamin starting and Clay back in the lineup down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I wanted them to start KB and Thompson on the outside, with Matthews in the lot. That is, until Zay's breakout performance last night. Now that's probably what they'll have to do. Looking forward to seeing that and Clay (and Gaines) returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hrs been struggling nice to see him start catching the ball. Hes gotten a lot of targets even when he when he couldnt catch.

MarlinTheMagician Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Sad to hear about Taiwan. Zay was going for the house but for the trip. My initial reaction was "that was so dirty" - but on reflection, it is exactly what I would have done. He didn't know it would make the other leg land awkwardly. DB just trying to not give up the touch. Just a bad luck night all-around (and stupid) -- two bad dice rolls on one play (i) no touchdown, (ii) Zay hurt. Three inches and both would have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
