34-78-83 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 All kidding aside, Other than in one game (SD) this season, I feel that Josh has earned the right to stay on with the new direction of this team. He is our best blocker, is able to find open areas in zones, and has good run after catch ability. I think as long as he stays in the slot, he'll produce for us. He was one of a few today who showed up to play. You can learn a lot about guys at the end of a wasted season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not an ex-NFL receiver (although I did say in a Holiday Inn, once). I would like to see more consistancy in terms of catching the ball, and I would be completely sold! Otherwise, too inconsistant to have as a regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 That TD today was what I expected from him coming out of college. Does anyone remember all that draft footage of him, breaking 10 tackles and getting 30 yards after the catch at LSU? Well, today we finally saw it. I have a feeling that Josh Reed is just a late NFL bloomer--he's got a lot of good football ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripes Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 What was so significant for him about that touchdown that he kept the ball?? That it's his last one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely made some nice plays today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you will about Josh Reed, but that TD today--the lone bright spot--was a heck of a catch and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously ), and Evans. These are all guys who atleast want to play for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Josh Reed did have the benefit of some great blocking by Parrish and Aiken. Having said that, Reed made a couple of good moves and showed a lot of heart in getting that TD. He's made 2 of the most entertaining touchdowns for the Bills this season. Remember the one he had against the Raiders? I still do'nt know how he got in the end zone on that play. Reed had to step up this year and he has. Re-sign him. He won't break the bank, and he is great depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Haha! Lemme know when he develops hands. 529050[/snapback] The strange thing is, JR has always had hands. Hell...i think he was born with hands. Watch his college tapes...he didn't drop ANYTHING. Even when he started going sour with the Bills, he still made GREAT catches...he just dropped easy catches. I can't figure out what happend to that "catch any ball anywhere" guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out what happend to that "catch any ball anywhere" guy. 529056[/snapback] It seems all mental. My guess is that he is often so tense out there, overconcerned about dropping balls, that he's thinking too much about causing him to drop more, not doing what he used to do naturally. But today was one of the few times when I saw him brimming with confidence. Even after his TD, on that last catch of the game, he broke another few tackles and made a nice gain.

John in VA Beach Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 JP seems to look for JR in conversion situations. Regarding JR, a guy with a confidence problem can have a whole career turned around with a play like he had yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo mike2 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Haha! Lemme know when he develops hands. 529050[/snapback] They will be ready to kick him in the nuts next week. Ever notice he can't catch one when it counts? But he had a great camp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon in Pasadena Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Also note the downfield blocking from Aiken, Parish (He PANCAKED a LINEBACKER on the play. Just going off memory here, but I think the Patsie that got flattened by 'Sco was the Safety, Eugene Wilson. Still, not a bad job considering RP must be giving up 30 lbs or so.

drnykterstein Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Oh my. This talk of liking Josh Reed hurts. I'm sorry I have too good of a memory to like him. All of the many dropped balls still sting, and I just cannot forgive that. He'll drop more if he stays and that is something I do not like.
