Also there is an article in the Buffalo News today behind a paywall so I cant read it I think a lot of that is (still) Josh's thumb/elbow. It's probably 90% but he's missing that fine touch to put the ball right where it needs to be at the correct speed. I see a lot of short passes being thrown like bullets.

You get the best players you can but when push comes to shove and he have injuries etc., you go with the players you know if they're available. They know the personnel and the playbook.

The fault with the drops lies overwhelmingly with our skill position players. Knox and Singletary each had at least one groaner against the Jets. And McKenzie had 2 crucial drops (of eminently catchable balls (in one case, he just lacked the footwork and body control to make what should be a simple catch at that level)) - hence the Beasley signing. Crowder's injury looms large for the Bills. McKenzie is not a playoff team's slot receiver. Sorry, Lil' Dirty. You're just not reliable.

Goldseatsaud Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Nobody moves the chains like Beasley. McKenzie isn’t the guy. McKenzie is a gadget guy. Hines has he slot now in the KR&PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 FWIW: https://scores.nbcsports.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232 Bills are in a 3-way tie for first with 25 drops, there's a 3-way tie for 16-18 at 16 drops, so the Bills average less than one dropped pass more per game than the middle of the pack. Really need a fancystat drops per attempt or something, since you know the Bills are throwing more than some other teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think timing is off just a bit. Possibly? There was an early (the first?) play of the game for the Bills where Allen *had* Diggs (for a big gain or maybe even a YAC score) and just missed him by a bunch. So there's probably something to the idea that the elbow is affecting accuracy/timing. But for the drops I have in mind? Those are not on the QB. Those are eliciting "CATCH THE EFFING BALL" cries from our area of the 300s. 47 minutes ago, Goldseatsaud said: Nobody moves the chains like Beasley. McKenzie isn’t the guy. McKenzie is a gadget guy. Nobody used to move the chains like Beasley, anyway. He was incredible. Was. God willing, he can find the magic for a few months. Agreed 100% that McKenzie cannot be the team's first choice at slot receiver. Edited December 13, 2022 by That Aud Smell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Beasley beats zone coverage for the mid yardage. Reliable catcher. Exactly what the Bills have been without all season. I think Crowder was supposed to fill in that role but he predictably got injured. Sounds like distaste from politics is behind Beasley and the team, excited to have him here. Now what O lineman is in shape ready to be signed ^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'll keep saying it.) Maybe the training staff can get him injected with some TB12 magic juice or something. I am all in on hoping Beasley can deliver that 6 catches for 34 yards type line.

If Beasley can get the team 3 or 4 first downs per game when it's 3rd and 6 (or less), I will purchase and listen to his sh1tty rap music. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph_communes Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Reports are saying the return of Brown and Beasley was Allen driven decision and they obliged. Compare this to what they’ve done up in Green Bay. Beane giving his allstar what he wants after his own attempts all faltered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I wonder if this means no OBJ. Beasley isn't what they really need, which is a good O-lineman and a good deep threat at WR, but he'll help turn the 2nd-and-10s we've been seeing following Singletary drops into 2nd-and-3s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the sense no one’s really in on OBJ to play this season. If Beasley can generate that “passing as running game” element, it will mask some of the line’s deficiencies.
