NewEra Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Track star in pads. Bum. I like that he gets open though, as he might eventually draw a safety over and allow someone else to catch a ball. We know he’s not going to catch anything but a cold. He’s embarrassing.

Kelly the Dog Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) I repeat, he made a diving catch on a bullet over the middle for a first down last week.

Probably the best catch any of our WR has made in three games. Really good receivers catch the ball with the same ease 50 yards downfield as they do 15. Back in the day the Bills could run Thurman Thomas on a wheel route and he could catch a deep throw like a WR. McCoy and CJ Spiller are/were more dangerous on short throws than Thurman but their hands got harder every yard further they got downfield.

It was more a slam against our other WR than pumping up Foster. This is literally the worst WR corps I have ever seen. The worst. It may have been the worst when people still thought Benjamin was a good player, including me. Zay freakin' Jones may be our best WR and he's awful right now. It's a dereliction of duty to Josh.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I will say this for Foster. On that deep shot Allen took, 1&10 from our own 35 - when you slow it down it's pretty clear that Foster saved an INT. The DB was in much better position on the ball and it looks as though he had his hands on it but Foster either grabbed his arms or knocked it out. Allen should buy Foster a nice steak or summat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's brutal and a self-inflicted wound. They deserve much scorn for the handling of the WR corps and it was a foreseeable problem the moment they dealt Watkins.

GoodHands15 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Zay struggled with drops his rookie year. We don’t know if he finally connects on one there might be a lightbulb moment. 1000 reps to perfection You cant bail on someone who, now week in and week out, is taking the top right off the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 6 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Yea he is not an NFL player. Hell he was a backup at 'Bama. Agreed He looked like the moment was too big on that play. Instead of running through the ball and dove and short armed it, like his only goal was to just catch it. A veteran receiver would have caught that and kept running. Although I like his speed, he belongs on our PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDogg20 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Most of the comments I read on here were said about Goodwin too. He turned out to be a pretty solid player, i’d take him back in a heartbeat. Give the guy time, he has the wheels to play in the NFL, his hands can get better with reps. No better way to learn than playing on Sundays. I wouldn’t have minded putting him on the PS but who knows, another team may have had an eye on him.
