dollars 2 donuts

New Era well said, and no, I didn't say it was impossible. However, it is not helping and it was to have been a hopeful strength this year. I am also not saying the teams with the best two WRs are going to win a SB, either, but take a look at the top 4 receivers in the NFL (Hill, Jefferson, Diggs and Ekeler), and then the #2 receivers on their respective teams. Hill (100), Waddle (59) Jefferson (99), Thielen (63) Diggs (94), Davis (38) or McKenzie (38) Ekeler (93), Palmer (61) That's Tua, Cousins and Herbert. We have Josh Allen, New Era. EDIT: Jeepers, of the top 10 receivers in the league only Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown has a lower #2 WR than the Bills (Raymond, 34 receptions).

Chris states it early on and this is the big point...Ignore Beasley, forget about iMcK, don't nash your teeth over the Crowder injury, and even I can't keep going back to "why Ford over DK?" because that is pure history. A number of us took heat for stating Gabe is not a 1B and our hope is that he is at least a 2. Yes, he's battled through injuries and yes he has had flashes, and YES HE ADDS TO THIS TEAM. However, the guy opposite Diggs has to be somewhere at least in the same sphere as Diggs. If your number 1 guy catches more than 100 balls each year for three years your number 2 needs to be Robert Woods, or at least 2018-2020 Robert Woods...86 receptions, 90 receptions, 90 receptions and a 1,000 yard average. Heck even Peerless Price's 94 receptions to Eric Moulds' 100 catches from 2002 is the duo you need. 38 receptions in 12 games, catching little more than 50% of your targets (38 of 71) isn't the juggernaut #2 we hoped for. I hope he changes the narrative on everything from here on out, but right now he is on pace for 50 or so receptions. So s*** on this post all you want, but it is not going to make it any less true. Go Bills!

You have...5 posts. My goodness if even less than half of them in the future are like this you are a benefit to this Board. Well said, Sir.

HUDS, I laughed outloud. Thank you, brother.

Given Dagger's earlier point it makes sense...Josh Allen, "Yeah, don't worry about the playbook, just get open five yards up field. Thank you." 😆

I switched my emoji to a trophy for you on that one, Dagger. Brother, I didn't even think about that. Outstanding point.

Muppy...can you imagine if the Bills win a Super Bowl with Jon Brown and Cole Beasley on the sideline?! Man, if that be the case I would love us to find a way to pick up Jerry Hughes through late season waivers and Kyle Williams unretire and rotate in, maybe even a short yardage TD to boot!!!!!

May Day, everything else aside I said around here, "if you want to get rid of Beasley because you think he is washed up, then fine, but you got to replace him and that is not going to be easy." Many said it would be...it wasn't. Sure, the Crowder injury didn't help, but those hands, brother...those 164 receptions the last two years, regardless of yards and TDs, are what this team needs so badly right now.

Plus, B4, I think it helps get Josh in a rhythm and comfort zone. It helps, too, with an Oline that has been questionable lately for various reasons, including injuries.

Seriously, would anyone here be mad with a Beasley stat line of: 6 targets, 5 receptions, 40 yards, 0 TDs, 4 first downs, repeatedly? Sure I want more, but man does this team need THIS right now.

We don't need a fast Beas...but boy oh boy do we need good old "hands" Beasley. We need someone to make grabs on 3 and 6 for 8 yard first downs and we need someone who will give us at least five yards on 1st down throws, too. Move. The. Chains.

JN, even though I wasn’t right there with you, please know I was right there with you. Wanted DK badly. I’ve been criticized elsewhere here in the last 24 hours for even bringing it up, but yeah it was a big mistake. …just now getting over Ngata! 😁

and yet you keep going. Cool, cool, cool. This is working out tremendously for you. EDIT: GB404, I am just razing you, man. If it really bugged you and I know some things can be annoying, that was not my intent, brother. Honestly, peace, Sir.

No, not at all with respect to the drafting. My goal was to get you riled up to take a general interest in my post, enough or so much so that you just could not sit by anymore at your keyboard without responding and reigning such an injustice or (self) angering point for you. Mission accomplished...THAT is the something I did that I love.

I hated that other slot receiver's 231 receptions for 2,438 yards in 46 regular season games as Bill, and his all time team leading #2 WR average of 82 receptions during his last two years. ...and don't event get me started about that time he played the entire 2020 playoffs with a broken leg and caught only 14 passes. His teammates must have all hated his guts and are all glad he is gone. Onward and upward.

Garrett Wilson was good for the Jets yesterday. As we passed on him DK Metcalf's worst season as a pro was his rookie year. 58 receptions, 900 yards and 7 TDs. His WORST season. That's it. That's the post.

Their season ends soon I can't wait to see them fall I have attention deficit disorder and it causes me to lose track of exactly what I am trying to say or the point I was trying to make so this is really the best I can do for the last line

Tua is his name Accuracy is his claim But seems pretty lame

Royale, I like him as a person and I like some of the amazing things he's done for the Bills, but if he were a free agent after this season (he has 1 more year), a season in which he is on pace for 50 receptions, for 900 plus yards and 7-8 TDs with JA as his QB it is crazy to me thinking that someone would still likely offer him 4 years, $50 million, $20 million guaranteed, and that would be on the low end. I just wouldn't want the Bills to do it. Let's see how the rest of this works out in '2, in the playoffs and in '23.

Coach, I am looking to poke holes in anything you said above. ...I will let you know when I find something. Don't hold your breath on this and if you were planning to go to lunch at noon, but wanted to stick around for my response...you can probably just go ahead and grab yourself a sandwich. I find all of it so very true and I hate diluting the truth with sugar.

Very respectfully, BD, that is about important to me as "if you didn't practice this week you can't play on Sunday" and "you can't lose your job to injury." I don't care if a guy actually helps the opposing team on special teams as long as the guy they are going to be paying 45 million dollars trusts and finds him a few times a game for 1st downs and TDs I am comfortable with it. ...and the proof being that essentially a waiver wire walk-on being a productive part of any offense when he is not even remotely the main guy is a potentially valuable tool for any QB to have in his arsenal bag.

Our #2 WR the last 5 weeks: 24 receptions, 245 yards, 2 TDs. A former Bill who the Giants picked up off of waivers the last five weeks: 17 receptions, 183 yards, 2 TDs. Happy for him and I have never been in the "meh, he can't block or play special teams, dump him" camp. No way am I saying that IH is better than GD (although the comments after this will no doubt claim that's what I am saying). It's just frustrating what is going on with this team, especially at that position that is so critical to making our system go. Give me an "incomplete" or "alternative skill deficient" receiver who is a good size and can catch [EDIT]...every time, because I don't think Josh Allen stays awake at night wondering if his receivers can tackle on kickoffs.

interesting…well, any way that ends up with them going through the most suffering works for me.

Respectfully disagree. I want the bills to beat them with him on the field. It would be sweeter. He’s an a**.
