How about that one eyed price

[Kerr]

He finally came through with a big play for a TD. Seems like he's got one foot ahead of reed in the race for #2. He also would have had a 19 yard catch on 3rd down, but it was nullified by villariel's penalty.

[OpIv37]

As long as someone steps up.

I've said all off-season that Price is washed up, but it would be worth being wrong to have a legit #2 WR on this team.

[YardRat]

Don't bet on it...Reed's still a better blocker than Price, and one catch tonight doesn't necessarily push Price up on the depth chart. IMO, he still needs to really out-play Reed over the next two weeks to earn the #2.

[Turf]

How do you beat out Reed? Put on a jersey? Catch a ball? Price is the #2.

[BillsFever21]

One catch makes him the #2? It will take a little more then that.

[justasportsfan]

If JP ends up being as comfortable w/ Price as he is with Evans , we could have a decent season.

[Meathead]

just repeating myself here but what we'll get out of price is that. he always was a perimeter and long ball guy and thats what he is now. cant beat the double team consistently enough to be a one but in single can outrun defender for the big gainer

in fact isnt that what we decided when donawho pulled off one of his greatest coups when he tagged and bagged him to atlanta for mcgahee

price was great as a two but we here just knew he wasnt going to make it as the man. and i didnt think it was homerism in that case, we saw how price played at it wasnt move the chains type stuff. even a guy like keyshaun, who doesnt have nearly prices speed, was more valuable as a one because he could make the five to eight yard catch consistently

watching the pairing with evans and losman as the long ball specialist and thinking about what could happen there makes my tingle a little. throw in josh reed making plays and flattening tacklers for the other guys, and parrishs incredible quickness and oo la la

its also great to see mcgahee getting swing passes. so far it has been mostly unimpressive but if they can get that down and get him in space thats some chunkables right there

lots of ifs but the ingredients appear to be present. lots of talent under the steady influence of the marv zone. the old farts got the ship steaming ahead

woo woo

[Turf]

75 drops and three catches and 2 drops and one catch makes Reed even on the roster? Reed is a #4 at best. Reed's problem is he cares less about the Bills than anyone on this message board. Cut him. Should have never resigned him. Look at a guy like Wilson. This guy wants to play.

[Kerr]

Coaches want receivers who are productive and also means scoring. Reed has yet to score a TD, but Price has. I'm sure reed could stay on the roster because of his strong run blocking skills, but what good is that when you've got evans being double teamed all the time? Price is a deep threat and that's the offense needs in the starting lineup along with Evans.

[Meathead]

keyshawn

ive heard alexander spell his too many times

[justasportsfan]

Reed will be fine.

[vicsportsaddict]

Price is good player and I think that he always put heart into his game, each game is like his last when person try to show what he did during all his life

Not that I think Price is a great player or a certain number 1, but Vick throws like 15 to 20 balls a game and the majority go to Crumpler and his backs. WRs get like 5 balls a game thrown to them. How the hell was he gonna do well in that situation?

[Meathead]

right its pretty much established that vick isnt a wr friendly qb. that of course also hurt prices numbers

even so i always felt price would struggle as a one on any team. he just doesnt make the bread and butter catches that ones need to. but hes a great number two in single coverage

[Meathead]

btw im not even sure there will be a clear cut two to start the season. it looks like theyll be rotating reed in consistently. their effusive praise of his blocking and their emphasis on chunk yards has me thinking they want reed on the field to help spring runs and yac numbers. prices weakness was always run blocking as you may recall

so that spot is likely to remain a committee until somebody runs away with it

[Scumbag College]

My #2 receiver is Kevin Everett.

Run two TEs, Shelton and McGahee in the backfield and Evans at flanker most of the time. It will create mismatches. Run a base defense against the Bills and you have a corner or safety going up against the TEs or Shelton in Run Defense...put in an extra LB and have them try to cover Everett or McGahee on passing patterns.

[madness]

That gives me and idea...I think we should give the #2 to Reed and the slot to Everett. This way JP and Evans can progress their chemistry even more while getting triple-teamed. Reed and Everett would also give JP two more options to stop the clock in the two minute drill.

[Billscusey]

I'm actually not feeling as shaky about the WR position after last night. Price's performance was a rare pleasant surprise. I'll take it since we don't seem to get many of those with this team!

[JoeMama]

Peerless Price is going to be a stud again.

Say what you want about his stints in Atlanta & Dallas, but he's a spectacular reciever when he has someone to compliment him on the other side.

This game was just a preview of things to come.

Even though this offense will probably frustrate us times, there's definite homerun ability everywhere. Lee Evans, who JP has the best rapport with, Peerless Price, & Willis McGahee.

No matter what the Bills do record wise, they'll have exciting moments on offense & nice highlights to watch later on ESPN.

I have a feeling you're right...to an extent. Whether he'll be a stud again and reclaim his past form remains to be seen...but last night gave me reason to believe he can be productive again. If he can develop chemistry with JP like Lee has, look out!! :D
