Current TBD Whipping Boy?

[Kelly the Dog]

I think it’s Bass who will frustrate us the entire season. 
 

Other than that it’s Barkley. I know he doesn’t even play, but if we could afford to play a guy as bad as him, we wouldn’t suck as bad as we do, amirite?

No whipping boys on this team yet, it’s a beautiful thing.

Lee Smith - The mere fact that he's still on this roster, in any capacity, earns him the "Chris Kelsay WTF do you have on the coaching staff to still be here" award.

 

I have same opinion about you and what you have on moderators.  Both completely irrational but everyone has opinions.

Mr/Mrs Beasley, I meant no offense, and it's not personal. I'm sure Cole is a great kid who works hard.

PS I said he "kinda sucks", meaning sucks a bit. I already said it's fine that he's on the roster, I just think he offers limited upside. I'd prefer that we had a better player in his spot, but it isn't a priority now due to the addition of Diggs.  Last year his 106 targets (7 per game) were good for 23% of total targets. His 7 targets last sunday were good for 15% of targets, so let's pump the brakes on little bit on the 2020 stats through 1 game. 

Lol okay.

 

I provided stats that show he doesn’t “kinda sucks”.  For a guy that most of his routes are before the sticks, he converts 55% for 1st down.

Im comparing him to Edelman because he’s considered the best short yardage slot WR.  
Beasley has a better 1st down percentage, better catch percentage and the same amout of TD’s even though he was targeted A LOT less.

 

Let me guess....Edelman doesn’t “kinda suck” in your opinion?

Did you just use a game 1 stat as a reason to pump the breaks on using game 1 stats?

I vote Allen... for his fumbles and running over the midget on the sidelines... 

 

He was told he was not supposed to jump any more so he took the easiest target to run over.

Midget is the whipping boy. If he sees Josh Allen coming, he needs to get the ***** out of the way.

Ok,  @eball's thread about being wrong about Murphy got me thinking. If Murphy is starting to lose his whipping boy status on Two Bills Drive, who is the next man up. Last year it was Star, with Murphy and Cody Ford not too far behind.  Who is it this year, still Murphy, or has someone else taken the title? What say you?

It’s by far been Murphy.  And while it’s quieted this one week, all it will take is one game where he doesn’t do anything or misses a tackle for it to all come back.  All his critics who are silent are just waiting for the next chance to say “See he sucks”.  
 

A case can be made for Ford, but have seen a lot less heat on him then people had for Murphy.  I mean this board was obsessed with cutting Murphy, and even more silly was for “cap” reasons when it wouldn’t have done anything for our cap as we are not over the cap and it’s last year of his deal.  It was utter nonsense to campaign for him to be cut.  Now trading him had merit with our deep log jam at DE and Beanes ability to get great trade value I our favor,  but the calls to cut him were pretty silly.

Other - Tyler Bass

 

Can there be a doubt?  Based on play in Game 1, missing 2 chip-shot FG and barely getting a 3rd in - BASS

People were calling for his head during and after the game.

Indeed

 

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

Definitely Ford for me. He has been terrible while my draft crush DK Metcalf has been great. Wish I could remember which posters were arguing with me that summer saying we don’t need a WR because Robert Foster needed playing time. 
 

Although our run D looked pretty good without our Star DT. No one seems to miss him.

The lead in said "deserved or not"

 

Tyler Bass is the latest TSW whipping boy. He doesn't deserve it.

[Rocky Landing]

I'm going with AJ Klein until I see him shift gears.

Murphy. It is deserved. And I am not backing off it.

Out of curiosity, what did you think of his play Sunday?

Keep in mind it is perfectly on-brand for Bills fans to think a player did well in a game, but still want him cut from the team.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Ridgewaycynic2013.  Tenuous football knowledge, relies too much on conditional draft picks.  Grammar nazi.

[Rigotz]

Star Lotulelei.

 

Expensive, opted out on the season, is invisible in a deep position. Easy answer.
