207!!! wow! Career high! So much for him not even getting 600 yards and being only a product of Peyton Manning.

Really excited to see what Ra'Shede will do as this will be the first time I can watch a full length Falcons game. He had a coming out party last week.

Gray seems to have really come into his own with Buffalo. Good for him and smart move by the Bills signing him. Extremely stupid and clueless move by the Vikings wunderkind brain trust (aka Spielman) in releasing him.

Good move by all. He was the 4-5 TE/ HB on the Vikes roster.

Just proves my point all the more. Imo, he is better than the 4th or 5th TE/HB on the Viking roster. Seems to be proving that now in Buffalo where they are smartly giving him lots of playing time to prove it.

I remember one of the talking heads on ESPN saying Decker was barely even a #2 WR because he never put up big numbers without Manning. Then he went on to say how great Demaryius Thomas is. He failed to realize Thomas' most receiving yards without Manning is 551.

I'm certainly not saying Decker is as good as Thomas, just that just about any receiver will put up bigger numbers when Manning is your QB compared to Tebow or Geno Smith.

The Vikings don't suit up a 4th TE/HB. I think that is the point he is making. Once Rudolph came back, Gray was the odd man out. Ford has been a solid 2nd TE, and Ellison plays more for his blocking ability. There just wasn't room for Gray.
 

Finished with 10 catches for 220 and a TD. On the season had 74 catches for 961 yards and 5 TDs I believe.

Just did the math and Decker averaged 2.4 yards per game less this year with Geno and Vick at QB than he did in 2012, his first year with Peyton.

Actually if you take into account the second half that he missed against the Bears I believe along with the full game he missed he would have had 1061 had he played in all 32 halves like he did in 2012 where he had 1064, just three yards more.

Yep, but he only had 5 TDs compared to 13 with Manning as his QB. But Decker has shown he can be productive no matter who the QB is.
