Looks like the FUNCHESS injury might be serious.

 

 

i dont want to speculate, but the way he was moving it or trying to reminded me of when Peyton landed on his shoulder/neck.  Hopefully its a stinger and swelling it causing the pain.

They were subbing receivers and TEs in and out like crazy all game. It felt like they still aren't sure what their favorite packages are, and it probably affected the offense's ability to get into a rhythm. 

 

So if Funchess is out for a while, I think there are plenty of options to help make up for that loss. Cain, Campbell, Ebron, Hines outside, etc. Funchess made some big plays so it's not like he won't be missed, but this team doesn't lack for pass catchers.

Maybe then, they should pick Hogan back up?

He's got the size Funchess brings to the team.

I think we already have one too many WRs. We'll see what the prognosis is on Funchess. If it's just a couple weeks, they'll probably stand pat. If it's a long term thing, they still might not add anyone. I really think they have more pass catchers than they know what to do with.

I think it’s time to make Cain a bigger part of the gameplan.  2 catches on 2 targets.   He needs 5-7 targets minimum.  He can be a 1000 yard receiver in this offense this season.  That back shoulder was perfection. Campbell can also do with more targets.

I was surprised they didn't try to get Campbell and Cain more involved as well. Seems like those are your playmakers that will help take some pressure off #13. T.Y. had a good start to the season today... He had his best offseason, so it's nice to see it translate to a good start. We need him to have a hell of a year.

I just hope it's some kind of burner or stinger that can be corrected through manipulation of the muscles and the nerves

 

Eh. Stingers generally don't result in loss of arm use for a drawn out period of time. The fact they x-rayed tells me they are concerned about a break somewhere.

Got to remember that Campbell is a rookie and missed a lot of camp. He needs to get up to speed.

nonsense marquise brown missed a lot of camp to and made an impact. Not to mention reich was talking about how it looked like campbell could play 50 snaps and he gets like 1 target and a running play. Give him the ball in space. Get cain more involved. Brisset can pass for 300 plus yards.

I'm telling you, the way they were subbing receivers en masse all game, it looked like a second grade relay race. If they get a solid four man rotation, I think some of them can get a rhythm going. Especially the young guys.

As hype as he was for campbell it was disappointing he wasn't featured more in the gameplan.

Yeah, probably means he was in pain for more than a few minutes, which probably isn't a stinger.

Is that confirmed what his injury is.

Well that stinks. Time for Cain and Campbell to step up.

Agree.  They take some time to heal up.  Maybe they should put him on IR and bring him back when he's ready.  Kelly should take his spot on the roster after next week.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
