The Worthy Trade Keeps Looking Worse and Worse

He catches flak for every playoff defeat and disappointing season they have had since Lamar became an MVP.

 

I’m glad to hear that, and it’s what I would hope for and expect. Having a ring does not remove expectations. If you have one, it’s from the past. I’m more concerned about this year and next year than last year or the last decade or two.

Does this thread keep going because of Worthy’s spectacular Wolverine\Deadpool  level injury recovery?

He has a torn labrum. He will be wearing a harness. Definitely doesn’t have any superhuman recovery abilities

Keon doing pretty well for himself separation wise, so far.

Majority of the guys with better separation also have lower DoT. In fact, only THREE-ish guys have better separation AND depth? (6-ish have better separation but lesser depth.) That's promising, especially considering we've already played Baltimore and New Jersey, so Coleman has exclusively faced CBs who can COVER.

On pace for 90 grabs and 1100 yards!!!

Tony Gonzalez has declared the Bills the winners of the trade.  He's called Coleman a bonafide & budding superstar.  My only question is how can you call him both, since bonafide happens after the bud has bloomed.

Sucks that we blew the pick on Carter, but no way I’d trade Coleman for worthy.  We got the right guy

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the New York Giants and is not traveling with the team.

Worthy, recovering from a dislocated right shoulder suffered in the season opener, took a positive step Wednesday, practicing without restrictions. He was listed as a limited participant as a precaution. Unlike last week, Worthy was seen running routes during the open portion of practice without extra padding on his right arm.

is it unusual for injured players ruled out to not travel? Especially since he did practice and is not like recovering from surgery or something similar.

This was tough to read on so many levels, but most specifically, that we are responsible for the Chiefs having the player that fixed their offense (and morale).

 

So yes, that’s why a Chiefs article is in the Bills forum, because it is unfortunately “Bills related”

[Big Turk]

I'd say that it was more the Ravens defense being trash and having multiple additional starters on D go down injured than Worthy.

It's hard to judge because of how decimated on D the Ravens are. I think the Panthers would have put up alot of points on them today. 

 

He is a key addition of course. But time will tell. In fact, time will tell with alot of teams. No team out there is a juggernaut. There is no 2007 Patriots or 2013 Broncos type team.

It certainly factored in, but regardless, it has been a while since we have seen the Chiefs put up 30+ that easily against any team and we are kidding ourselves if we don’t think Worthy was a big reason for that.

 

That said, I am probably more concerned with the fact that the Chiefs obviously have a defense that is capable of slowing down playoff caliber offenses (as they have been for a while) and we do not.

As a result, we have to overachieve to , while they essentially just 

You’re also kidding yourself if you think the Ravens being decimated on defense didn’t have anything to do with it.

[Rubes]

When they have Rice back as well we’ll be longing for the days early this season when we thought the Chiefs might possibly miss the playoffs entirely.

Rice and Worthy will be there against the Bills and Mahommes is looking Thornton's way as well.  This will be an enormous test.  I expect the Chiefs to go on a mini-run including beating the Lions.  You have to kill the vampire when they are sleeping.  The league didn't finish the job.

Maybe so, but at the very least, it’s a combination. Because I’ve witnessed the Chiefs offense struggle to move the ball against much worse defenses than the “decimated” version of Ravens defense.

 

Put it this way, if it were the Bills with this type of output after getting our top WR back, our board would be all over how much that player means to the team. 
 

I think most of us - myself included - do not like to admit to ourselves how good this kid is becoming. Thank goodness he appears to be fragile and potentially injury prone.

The shoulda coulda would haves hindsight people. The Worthy trade sucks and our draft pick trade netted the Chief's Mahomes. Frick'en Beane.

I don’t even want to think about it.

 

That said, I think we all know that regardless of who is and isn’t playing, the Chiefs-Bills meeting will go all the way down to the wire WHEN (not if) we meet again in the playoffs. 
 

It’s inevitable.
