Though "you can't go home again"; after the speed of the NFL game and throwing to guys like Diggs, Brown, and Beasley, Josh may find that the routes his buddy Tanner runs looks different to him. 

He would actually be a pretty interesting interview if he came here on how Josh has changed since college.

Hope I’m wrong but sign one guy while bringing in two more.  It’s just circumstantial but it feels bad to me.   When is the last time they had three wrs in three days?  Like I said hope I’m wrong.  

Imo, the Bills are preparing for a long playoff run (SB??). They live by the pass and that’s the method they plan to use in a ‘Ya Dance with who brung ya” scenario. We’ve been very fortunate this year regarding overall team health  while developing fine rotational players everywhere except QB.  We have a lethal arsenal at WR but it can all come crashing down quickly with injuries. Getting Josh’s college teammate is a coup as well as a flat out burner. 

 

Folks, we intend to WIN IT ALL this year! Again, imo.

I’m thinking that Beane is doing his due diligence with Gentry and Jennings in regards to the upcoming draft. Another speed receiver is considered by some to be a need for the team. Maybe Beane is trying to shore up the position without using a draft pick. Not sure of Gentry speed, but we know Jennings is fast. The pick saved can be used on other needs like CB, LB, TE, EDGE. Remember, wizards never sleep

Yeah at this point it's clear that they can't run the ball well until they've worn out or demoralized a defense by passing all over them for 3 quarters..........so no point denying the strength.    I'm guessing Josh has been throwing to Gentry in offseasons as well as their time in Wyoming so if they are going to pick up a guy who might have to fill in if the whole starting WR corps gets put in covid protocol or some 2020 sh*t like that.....then it absolutely makes sense.

Might be something there too.    Futures contracts usually start getting signed in the next couple weeks.

If you haven’t learned to expect the unexpected with Josh Allen yet, then I don’t know what to tell you.  
 

BTW - I’ll help you with your facts:

1) Gentry was never drafted.

2) Gentry was in the XFL earlier this year before the league folded so technically he was on a team.  
 

EDIT - Gentry was never drafted out of college.  He was drafted in the 3rd round of the XFL draft.  


Gosh, thanks for pointing that out. Makes my case that much stronger.

I suspect we're seeing the Cleveland Browns effect in full operation here.  They lost all four starting WR's to covid.  If it could happen to them it could happen to anyone.  It's almost as if the Bills are assembling a shadow receiving group just in case.

 

 

 

 

Exactly what I thought.

Some of the Josh Allen haters like to say he was only good at Wyoming because he had NFL talent he was throwing to.

Gentry was one of those guys. The dude made some amazing catches flying out of bounds and seemed to get open when Josh was scrambling. 

Big reason the Bills lost to Tennessee this year was passes bouncing off receivers for interceptions. Gentry won't let that happen.

Hollister, Hill, Gentry. All NFL talent. Josh was running for his life most games he's played.

That Patriots game was the best pass protection I've ever seen Josh have. It was beautiful. 

Hollister is probably the best of the bunch the others are on the bubble.

And Hollister was barely used.

Hill will eventually get on a team that can run the ball.

I'm just saying what Josh haters have said.

I'm from Wyoming, love the Pokes. Saw Josh Allen do things nobody else can do. Have followed the Bills the last few years and have laughed and loved every minute of it!

Bill's fans are just like Wyoming fans!

I'm a Wyoming Bills fan as well and no one was saying that, they were saying the exact opposite of that.

Other MWC fans were saying Josh had NFL talent around him. Which is kind of true.

But when you watch him play, you just know.

Hoping Gunner Gentry can do some damage for Wyoming next year.

When the announcers said who Josh Allen was throwing to in the playoffs last year I almost vomited. 

The Bill's shored up the offensive line, got rid of Gore, brought in Diggs and pretend like they are always in the 2 minute drill on offense.

That's when Josh Allen is best.

Someone mentioned I thinks on the Stills thread, Beane is thinking ahead so we don’t have happen to us what Cleveland went through with the contact tracing in their WR room.  I wouldn’t read too much into the implication with Beasely.  It might be a problem, might not.  No point in worrying about it.  Funny this is it was non contact and could’ve happened in practice. Thankfully he walked off on his own.

There are no more Josh Allen haters. None worth mentioning anyway. If Gentry truly was a talent, he’d have been Drafted or given a decent NFL opportunity. Not the case. But he works well with Josh so he’s a back up plan.

There are plenty of Josh Allen haters out there still. Don't get jaded this soon.

As far as Tanner Gentry goes, you think the Bears can tell a good receiver from a bad quarterback?

Maybe Kyle Orton could have thrown a decent pass to Tanner Gentry?

Who tf is jaded and who tf are you? 32 teams have said ‘no’ to Gentry a couple times. Give it a rest.
