Dadonkadonk Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The kid is looking like a pro. He has decent size and decent speed and he is getting better not worse as the season goes on. Look for him to get more attempts especially if they can get Clay, KB, and Matthews all healthy and on the same field with Zay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He seems to be TT's favorite target. Even when covered. Early in the season he was dropping balls he should have caught. Now he's getting to be pretty reliable. He has to learn to drag his toe as he is going out of bounds. I hope that today will provide a learning experience for him after he sees the video. I want to root for the kid because he's from the American Athletic Conference. That's a group of misfit schools that try to be good at both football and basketball but mostly aren't elite in either sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It was insane for posters calling for him to be benched. He just needed to get his head straight after the missed catch against Carolina. Looks like he's on his way to being a solid WR2 and possibly pushing to be a WR1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Zay will be a beast. Had a bit of the "drops" early in the season. Clearly is mentally tough as he made some nice/clutch catches today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zay looked like he was making strides last week and started out well today......but wasn't sharp today though. Looked good early but left a bunch of plays on the field.....couldn't make a play on a nice deep throw down sideline.......couldn't get his feet in on a good sideline throw......couldn't catch a contested pass in middle of field on third down........dropped a low but catchable throw on third down late in the game. Team is hurting for playmakers and if he can't make a few Shady is all they have. Live by Shady.......die by Shady........and today he couldn't get it done with the ****ty blocking and play calling. Zay is a fish out of water on the deep throws.......unfortunately he's as good as they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorPeterman Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 So far this looks like one of the better drafts the Bills have had in recent years, but we've been fooled before and the key will be what these guys do in their 2nd, 3rd, etc NFL seasons and if they can avoid injury setbacks that have derailed many promising young players careers with this team. If this new regime can hit on their draft picks in the top 3 rounds like we did this year it will go a long way to ending the drought and getting this team back to relevance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regained his confidence a couple games ago which was huge though. He missed a few today. Not easy plays but ones we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theshallowcross Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He doesn't create enough separation which will keep him from ever being a number 1 but he can carve a nice niche as possession receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodman19 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 So wait, a rookie is able to struggle and then be allowed to rebound and learn as a career goes on? I thought they were supposed to be cut after a bad performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleman Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Excuse me. Revival? He had the most targets in the game. Yet he only caught 3 of 10. He dropped 7. All the other targets caught all their targets or missed just 1 in the game. He has not been very reliable or productive. I'm not calling him a bust, but he has yet to prove himself as a reliable hands guy and has not been very good at getting separation. He at this time has a long way to go as proving he could be a credible number 3. He did not bother to drag his feet to stay in bounds, even though he had a well placed ball. That pass would have been caught by most NFL caliber players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL is the highest level of competition in football, running off young guys that are not immediately productive is a recipe for continued failure. 16 minutes ago, simpleman said: Excuse me.

Way too simple of an analysis: I disagree that that pass would have been caught by “most” NFL caliber players, that was a difficult one catch and I think the kid will learn from that.

Ol Dirty B Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 He was mediocre today, if that. The fact that people take this game as a great improvement shows how poorly it was going for him early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedboy7 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's weird reading all these comments after this win. 6-5. Wildcard spot. Almost nothing positive to say? Funny thing being a Bills fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Still a tendency for balls to bounce off his hands, but I'm hoping he can ditch the stone hands. I am one of his biggest fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
