I think it’s a combination of not especially good receivers,  and Allen’s arm. 

[COTC]

Careless receivers usually make bad ones.  

 

Let’s hope they are really good and this is a fluke. 

[The Wiz]

Allen's gotta start sticking the ball in their facemasks to help them out.

The Bills recievers need a shrink to hypnotise them.

 

I think they all have the yips.

[Patrick Duffy]

I know what the problem is. The Bills receivers aren't good.

[billsredneck1]

i think other than kb not catching a ball that hits him in the stomach....which is bad enough,  i do think that with practice , zay and especially foster with the process practices, will get noticeably better and we will see that sunday.

 

it's a matter of ....robert,  just keep running and josh, don't worry about overthrowing him. the twain shall soon meet and be just fine.

Duffy nailed it receivers are not good. With the cuts they made and the numbers at other positions, I was positive a move for a receiver as happening. Perhaps that’s hopefull thinking- perhaps not but at the very least as Allen practices and plays more the timing and chemistry will only improve. One downfall of the necessary QB competition

[LABILLBACKER]

We clearly have the worst wr group in the NFL trying to catch balls from a qb who's velocity is nearly 70mph.  What could possibly go wrong. 

[Rocky Landing]

Disagree with the notion that Allen is throwing the ball too hard. He's not. Foster let the ball drop right between his hands on a bomb. Both of KB's drops were absolutely catchable. The one at the goal line was a rope, but it was right in the breadbasket. And, he had quite a few touch passes, especially his check downs to Ivory, and Clay.

 

We knew at the beginning of preseason that we had a weak WR corp, and the debate was whether KB was going to be a disappointment, or not (Obviously, so far, he has been).

 

That people are still hanging their hat on UDFA Foster, and not even talking about Zay tells us everything we need to know about how our WR corps has developed.

[The Wiz]

These WRs need to take whatever Dave is using.

Honestly, there probably is something to the fact that Allen throws too hard. That’s not a bad thing. It’s a good thing if you have recievers that can catch it because it get to them faster and can fit in smaller windows. 

 

I just think the coaches have to be  to be aware of this when bringing in recievers. Some guys can catch, but can they catch the heat? It really is a skill on top of a skill. 

 

Its why I’d really like us to try and trade for that guy on the Bears (if he’s still there) that caught almost all of Allen’s passes in college.

He should never have gone anywhere to begin with. Of all the guys we let go, he’s the one I want back the most. 

 

He wasnt asking for a kings ransom. 

 

Second, Darby. I feel like that move was only done to soften the blow of losing Watkins. I was fine with Watkins departure. Will never understand the Darby move.

Our WRs are bad, really bad. They keep trying to catch the ball with their bodies instead of their hands. They can't handle Josh's fastball.??

That would be tanner Gentry.. and he is on the Bears PS and available.

 

he also is not fast and dropped Josh Allen passes in college

Yes, that’s it, Gentry. And yes again, he’s not lightning fast. God I’m so sick of people thinking football is a combine. 

 

The field is full of guys that aren’t “fast” in nfl terms. That’s probably more than 70% of the guys out there. 

 

Obviously he dropped passes genius, it was an exaggeration to add a slice of humor. Are you always this dull or do you just try extra hard when you’re on football message boards?

I fully realize football isn’t a track meet. But he doesn’t play that fast on the field

 

i am all for upgrading our WR Corp but I don’t think he’s an upgrade. We had a player just like him but even faster in Reilly and cut him 

 

i dont know why you need to throw insults , I wouldn’t go in that direction... just speaks to your character

Insult? I called you a genius. 

 

You took everything I wrote in the first post literally, why change it up now? 

 

Oh... probably because you knew exactly what I meant in my original post but had to take the opportunity to agitate instead of have a grown up discussion. Speaks to your character.

KB has always had great hands -- until this year. Hopefully this is a temporary setback.

 

That said, this makes me even more excited for next year because we all know that the OL and WR positions are due for a big makeover with that $100 mill in extra cap space coming due.  Add a CB to start opposite White and solid depth where we can and I think Josh has a real shot at greatness. We'll see.

There have been discussions here about Gentry... and you obviously called me a genius in sarcasm, and then called me dull

 

i had ZERO interest in agitating you. You mentioned Gentry and I could’ve written a long reply with tons of detail

 

but in short he just isn’t good enough for our roster.. he is a possession receiver and we have a bunch of those . He compares to a Brandon Reilly who we cut

 

if you took offense to he is slow and drops balls I’m sorry . So does KB and Gentry doenst have bad hands but he doenst get great separation and it’s hard to catch contested balls in the NFL

Well Foster had 2 catches on 7 targets and I know of 2 drops so he's probably 3-4.  KB has 3-5 at least.  Not sure about the others.

I don't think so.  I read two scouting reports that say otherwise.  Here are the negatives from one of them:

 

Negatives

• Not very elusive after the catch.
• Straight-line speed is good for his size, but he lacks elite agility which limits his ability to make defenders miss.
• Poor field awareness, which hinders nearly every aspect of his game.
• Struggles with his body control when adjusting to the ball, especially when trying to get into position to make a contested catch.
• Needs to learn how to use his size to shield defenders.
• Inconsistent approach to catching the ball, which leads to some bad drops.
• Lets the ball come into his body too often rather than extending his hands to secure the ball.
• Also has a bad habit of turning his head to look downfield before securing the ball, which leads to drops.
• Doesn't know how to get open when the play breaks down.
• Has a tendency to run his route, and then stand around.
• Needs to learn how to read the defense, especially when facing zone, and find a way to get open when the initial play breaks down.
• Struggled to get on the same page of Jameis Winston at times.
• Has a tendency to be overly physical with defensive backs which will lead to more penalties at the next level.
