Sup, my post was not a panning of Boyce. He may have gotten better -- I hope he has of course -- but the timing and situation makes it almost certain this is a short lived promotion (barring injury). Boyce has little game experience, was not ready for prime time in that previous game experience, has no meaningful game experience in 2014, and it's the last game on the schedule with the high stakes playoffs approaching. Can't see how that equals upcoming meaningful playing time unless BB/JM are shifting their thinking to a greater WR spread on offense (considering Boyce has almost no chance to unseat Edelman, LaFell, Amendola, and I believe Tyms is a solid ST contributor, isn't the currently non existing WR#5 spot the only real spot open for him?).
IMHO, again barring injury. this will be the lone game appearance for Boyce in 2014. Yet I hope the hints are true and he is approaching being ready to compete in 2015 (if he lights it up against Buff and earns the 2014 eye of BB/JM, I'll gladly say I was wrong).
