I can't stand Coleman, he seems like he has an entitled attitude, but that was an awesome block, textbook block driving his legs through the entire block. Will never be called a hold when it's blocked like that. However that was his moment.

Left hand and arm was outside of shoulder pads grabbing at back of pats jersey.

Fine to do this except during the dreaded walk-through practice, the sources of 90% of the Bills injuries this year. He could easily have broken a femur or ruptured an Achilles, too. Reckless!

[TFBillsfan]

I’m not defending Coleman but the criticism is off the rails at times. Frankly, our entire WR room, outside of Shakir is atrocious. What has Palmer done this year? Samuel? Shavers? Moore? Cooks? While Davis has a connection with Allen, it’s not like he’s tearing it up. 
 

Our passing game has evolved to TE’s and throws to the RB’s as our WR group struggles with the exception of Shakir.

 

Yes, it’s 💯 fair to say Coleman hasn’t lived up to his draft selection and he needs to significantly improve. But, I place just as much criticism towards Beane. They reached for him to fill a need due to Beane ignoring the position the previous year.  It’s highly likely they could have drafted Cooper Dejean and then drafted Coleman later.

As long as your driving your legs through the block it will never be called.

Many agree,he never should have been the pick.  Healthy scratch him the rest of the season then cut him asap after the season

Josh said in the post game that he wasn’t sick, just went back to him saying that is something he does every week before the game and also sometimes during the game or after the game. 

He also said that he is surprised that the camera doesnt catch him doing that almost every game. He said that he can't really explain it, but if he doesnt get it all out pregame, it will come out at halftime or during the 2nd half. He laughed about it. 

 

Strange, but seemingly a normal occurance for Josh.

It's a shame about Cooks. Hope it's not serious.

Cooks honestly looks like he’s got juice at least threatening the deep ball.  Pretty sure he jammed his finger on that bobble I wouldn’t expect that to be a common theme. 

really wouldn’t be stunned to see cooks make some plays down the stretch 

 

it’s a very ‘what have you done for me lately’ league and Keon hasn’t made a big play in a long time then possibly had some disciplinary issues.  Not surprised to see the criticism.  He has made a few gamechanging plays but most were pretty long ago in the season and one of those games we lost anyway so it didn’t get a lot of attention

I think he probably jammed or broke his finger on that early bobble…a lot depends on the finger and the severity so I don’t think we have any way of knowing how serious it is

Not getting open. Jumping high. Sleeping through meetings.

Fred smerlas - bills nose tackle - wrote a book in the 90s in which he talked about Jim Kelly puking before many games and how the team would quietly celebrate it in the locker room as he often had his best games when he did that.  He also talked about all the bacon and eggs on the line of scrimmage from the big boys.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

I'd rather have Gabe than Palmer.

 

Palmer is a bum !!

 

Hopefully we only sign Palmer to a 1 yr contract 

[Kelly to Allen]

My only guess is they need a legitimate backup punt return guy, which Coleman can do and Gabe can't.

 

Now that Hardman is back, Gabe should be active

 

Palmer

Gabe

Shakir

Shavers 

Cooks

Hardman - return guy 

 

Coleman - inactive

Well now…change Hawes to a wide receiver…I kind of like that idea…..if we are gonna block with the WR’s make it really good blocking!

Anderson checks in as eligible, add TE Knox , FB Gilliam and WR Hawes. And pound the ball with RB Cook. As a change up send Knox, Hawes, Gilliam and Cook out for passes.

This kind of makes sense

It looked to me that he hurt his wrist or hand on a jump ball in the second half.  Can't remember the specific point, but I recall seeing him react in pain before the camera quickly panned away and the announcers never mentioned it.  At the time I thought, "Uh oh, we just lost another new signee to injury" and sure enough he's injured.

I ask because Coleman was his usual self these days: no significant plays made plus a mistake (rescued by a borderline PI call). Was Davis sick? I know the flu has been going around in a serious way, and maybe he got it? Otherwise, I don't see how he could be benched instead of Coleman. He's not great, but he gives the team more than Keon does at this point.  

 

Keon made it to the majority of practices and meetings on time this week and the staff wanted to encourage his good behavior.  JK.

That drop was a critical drop yesterday and he was bailed out by a pi....

 

What if there's no flag and it's the AFC championship game?

 

I trust someone like Hardman or Gabe more in that moment because I've seen them do it in massive pressure situations 

 

I just wanted Coleman to be productive and catch the ball. 

 

It's not working dude

Two things I "think" but obviously don't know:

 

1) Gabe may have had the Flu. Did anyone see Josh puking on the sideline twice during the game??

 

2) Is Gabe signed to the roster now? Isn't there a three game call up rule? He's had 2 so far...

 

If Gabe had the flu you'd want to keep him away from his teammates, but there was a picture of him in the BN going into the stadium with the rest of the team.

The rumor is that it was an emergency splenectomy.

 

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Gabe getting a Vet Rest day for the knee against an opponent with corners who would have like neutralized his best routes? Coleman can be pretty physical, which is likely a benefit against the Patriots corners.

[BillsFooteball]

Waiting on confirmation but I think Grape Davis against his own will, ended up at the DMV and is still stuck in line.
