Awe, noticed you weren’t around all day when Davis made 2 excellent catches and a TD. 3 for 79 yards and a TD. Very, very good for the rookie

Pretty, pretty good; especially on only 4 targets in which he caught 75% of them with the yards equating to 50% of Allen's production through the air.
He's very solid.

He's very interesting. He seems to be too good to be a #4 WR. He's a matchup nightmare for nickel and dime defensive backs. The question is, can he be a matchup nightmare as a #2.

Also, I usually don't put too much stake into whether a guy celebrates after a TD or not, but his demeanor of just throwing the ball back to the ref after scoring a touchdown is impressive to me. It doesn't scream "respect" (like Thurman Thomas did) so much as it's a quiet confidence of "meh, I plan on scoring a 100 more of these before my career is over, so no big deal."

at a glance. 8th in catches for rookie wr's

vets around him in stats
aj green
larry fitz
hollywood brown
edelman
golden tate



and tied with diggs for 27th in nfl with the 4 tds



not bad for a rookie who is the 4th option when team is healthy

Davis and Taron Johnson are the best value picks Beane has made


and Bass

He looks like a home run 4th rounder to me. And I agree on the second paragraph

good chance by the end of the year, he will have more yards then andre reed had in his rookie year, and moulds had in his first 2 years combined


as our 3rd/4th option

I love Brown, but he will be 31, never really durable, and owed 9 mil. With Davis looking *very good*, I think the writing might be on the wall

it's not just the stats, you can clearly see he has wr #1 potential already

he might be the most improved Bill on offense as well, from week 1 to today

So assuming the Bills hold onto the Division and nothing weird happens, we know the Bills' opponents next year. They play all AFC and NFC South opponents.

Excluding Division Opponents:

Home:
Atlanta
Carolina
Houston
Indianapolis
Pittsburgh

Away:
Jacksonville
New Orleans
Tampa Bay
Tennessee
Kansas City

Hopefully, we have fans by then.

I never panicked on Bass, even earlier this year. Steve Tasker said it on that TV show. Kickers rarely latch on with their first team for the same reason Bass was struggling. He seems to be ahead of schedule in fixing things though.

More than likely, I agree. If they do so, they will miss Brown's speed to open things up.
Could McKenzie serve in that roll as the 4th?

Hodgins could be the guy, another total mismatch when he matures

If they do let Brown go, they will need to sign or draft a receiver with speed.

You can pick them up for under $20 at the moment.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

Somewhat confusing where Routsolainen will play if he makes the team, being a left shooting C/LW. Maybe Olofsson moves to the right and Router plays on the 3rd line?
Camp is going to be very interesting thus year...if there is a season...time is beginning to run out for both sides to hammer out a deal.

They need to get a TE first I think. Knox isn’t it. He misses blocks and takes penalties too much for a guy with uncertain hands

I would continue to get weapons for Allen in the draft. Cheap picks on rookie deals

He and Diggs are getting paid this offseason.

Didn't they just redo his contract?

They tweaked it go give him more this season and get more cap in the future, but he's going to want a whole new deal after this year I think. He's considered underpaid

- sbroads24


He probably is , yet if the Cap goes down as much as they say AND with them having multiple needs to upgrade the roster; Beane needs to have a candid discussion around him deferring that renegotiated contract for the following season. They really need DT, Edge, CB, LB help in a big way 1st...IMO of course.

Correct. They redid his contract. Diggs will be fine and doesn’t need one. We swapped bonus payments to this year to free up space for next
