Worthy didn't do anything special, except maybe keep himself from laughing too hard to actually make the catch. 1 Quote

That Aud Smell Posted September 6 Author Report Posted September 6 21 minutes ago, MISabresFan said: I believe both teams had a plan going into the draft on what they were looking for in a wideout. both got what they wanted. It will be interesting to see how each teams PLAN works out. Given that the Chiefs are working with what I think is the greatest offensive play caller-quarterback pairing in NFL history, I don't much want to have the Bills' WR plan compared to how things are going to work out for the Chiefs. I'm just hoping that Coleman can be a solid possession/red zone guy. 1 1 Quote

He also had a pass thrown to him in the endzone and appeared to be out muscled for the ball. Interference was called but he still does not have the size. 10 minutes ago, That Aud Smell said: Given that the Chiefs are working with what I think is the greatest offensive play caller-quarterback pairing in NFL history, I don't much want to have the Bills' WR plan compared to how things are going to work out for the Chiefs.

nfreeman Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 IMHO, Worthy made a nice play on the TD run and an unremarkable play on the TD catch, and wasn't a factor otherwise. I don't think we saw enough last night to know how good or how much of a factor he'll be this year. It's certainly human nature to pay attention to how good Worthy is, but the Bills have many, many bigger fish to fry. 1 Quote

LGR4GM Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 Can the Bills control what Worthy does? Nope, not when we aren't playing them. Buffalo needs to worry about what they control. This obviously doesn't apply to fans. 1 Quote

LTS Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 So Xavier Worthy catches 2 TDs in his first game. I'm looking at the ensuing debate and thinking: Isn't this the place I often see the name "Steve Bernier" posted? Quote

JujuFish Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 I don't know why anyone here cares about how Worthy, specifically, performs. What about Ricky Pearsall, Xavier Legette, or Ladd McConkey? Are we going to see angst if one of them has a great first game? Quote

It follows the narrative of when they allowed KC to get Mahomes. Quote

Difference in the 2 situations being there was a very good chance KC still ends up with Worthy even if the Bills don't trade with them. Bills still got the guy they wanted and took a midround pick out of KC's arsenal. Had the Bills not traded with KC, Mahomes almost definitely ends up somewhere else.

Any criticism here, revisiting this topic years down the line, should be on whether the Bills chose the wrong WR. 1 1 Quote

That Aud Smell Posted September 7 Author Report Posted September 7 And it wasn’t an extra pick. The Bills allowed KC to move up from 32 to 28 — and in exchange the Bills moved up from 4th to a 3rd and moved up within the 7th rd — in both cases, KC got lower picks in swaps. 2 Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted September 7 Report Posted September 7 Anyone see reed from GB yesterday, he looked like worthy out there.... Only better. Let's see what Coleman has, we have been dying for a tall, big bodied receiver for a decade Quote

Let's see what Coleman has, we have been dying for a tall, big bodied receiver for a decade He might turn out well, and I hope he does. He struggled to get separation in college, and that will only become more difficult in the pros. He's also probably several years of development away from proving the quality of the pick one way or the other. He's a red zone target now, but other aspects of his game aren't likely to be instant impact the way Worthy's speed is in the KC offense. His ceiling could be DHopkins, but right now you have to play him in the slot to get him in space, and that is where Kincaid plays, who needs to be on the field. Quote
Flashsabre Posted September 7 Report Posted September 7 I can’t wait for Coleman to have an unspectacular game 1 and be written off as a bust because Worthy had 2 tds and this organization doesn’t know what they are doing.😝 1 Quote

The TD run looked nice, but he had a lot of room and a wall of blockers in front of him. I'd bet the top 50% of the fastest receivers in the league would have scored on that play. As a receiver, he was targeted 3 times for 2 catches and 47 yards. He wasn't some unstoppable force out that the defense had no answer for. Lets give it a few weeks, if he starts to put up 100 yard receiving game after 100 yard receiving game, then I'll take notice. 1 1 Quote
