How would you handle this WR Room for the rest of the season/playoffs?

Play the ones who make the plays.

 

davis

shakir

Shavers

 

Those are clearly the 3 Josh trusts most.

 

Then add Cooks because he is a quality Vet.  

 

Then I guess you are stuck with Palmer?  Although I’d personally bring back Elijah Moore.  He could at least fill in the Shakir role if needed.

 

There’s no reason to have a third blocking wr in Coleman(Davis and shavers1/2) 

Palmer’s comeback route yesterday, sadly, was the most professional route I’ve seen a WR run for us all year. 
 

I think it’s imperative that Josh and Palmer develop some chemistry before the playoffs.

At this point for the most part our WR's are blockers and that's about it ... Shavers and Davis are perfect in their roles ... Shakir is woefully misused catching mostly passes behind the LOS ... Palmer hasn't done much more than Samuel ... Hardman fumbled away a punt return in his only game with us ... Cooks dropped an easy big yardage pass ... Coleman is late again. 

 

The Bills are a run first team with a majority of the passes going to TE's ... waiting until halftime for Josh to put on his cape is not the best idea.

 

Poor game plans Offensive and Defensive are putting this team in a hole early, not a good idea with the playoffs on the horizon.

I can't wait to hear your professional diagnosis of what is wrong with Keon Coleman.

And even with that he didn't come back to the ball. If the DB doesn't slip he invites the pass to be undercut while he's standing still waiting for the pass to arrive

Coleman had one chance to prove that he belonged yesterday and he dropped it. I think that was the one where we lucked out and got a defensive penalty anyway. Bottom line, he can’t even come up with a catch when it is his turn.

I don't think it was a poor offensive gameplan that got us in the hole last night. Defensively we were outcoached pretty comprehensively in that first half (then turned the tables after half time) but offensively it was execution - Cooks drops a bomb on the first play of the game. Then at 3rd and 4 Palmer stupidly false starts and puts us in 3rd and long where they heat up Josh and he is sacked. The third drive I think you can question the call on 3rd and 15.... if you are going to throw a short pass to Shakir there to get half of it back, which is what they did, then you better be willing to go for it on 4th down. Otherwise let Josh throw deep on 3rd down... you might at least get a DPI. But largely I think the hole on offense was on players not gameplans.

It's to cold in Buffalo,  I was hoping for a warm weather city like Philadelphia 

Detroit is nice this time of year too. It's where the Bills play when it gets too wintery here.

Send them all on go routes and work the middle/sides with the TEs and RBs

[GoBills!]

Cooks, Shakir, Shavers, Hardman, Davis, Palmer
 

I’d still run lots of 2 and 3 TE sets we have 3 TEs that Josh trust and makes the run game much more difficult. But with those send Cooks deep or Shavers or Davis in for more blocking on a play action.

Hate me but Samuel was a beast in the playoffs last year. Id take Shakir Gabe Shavers Samuel Cooks.

I remember at times in the K-gun days we would flank Thurman and use Kenny Davis as the RB, just to get Thurman in space.

exactly!! 
 

people are griping about our poor receivers. why not get our great RBs out in routes against LBs?! 

[hondo in seattle]

Assuming all our receivers are healthy, which is admittedly an asinine assumption that has never come close to happening all year, I'd probably go with Palmer, Cooks, and Shakir as the starting three.  And then maybe Gabe (for blocking and scramble drills), Hardman (for speed), and Shavers (blocking, size, effort).  

 

Keon would be demoted to the PS.  

 

But other than Shakir, there are no locks on the 53, which is a weird situation for an NFL contender to be in.

Cooks drop was abysmal, seriously WTH?  Coleman is a waste of a roster space, healthy scratch him unless we have injuries.
