Lil' Dummy McKenzie.........offical team character builder

[Bookie Man]

I wish they'd get him going on those jet sweeps

[Perk71]

In the meantime...

 

Go Bills!!

 

[babulator]

He looks like a track and field athlete playing football. 

[mrags]

This is 100% correct.
 

And this is exactly the reason why we should make a play for OBJ. As much as I like McKenzie, and as no I as he is a great team guy, he is no ODB. This offense would be incredibly better with someone like OBJ. Shakir is very good and will be the future of this team a slot. But not yet. After we win the Lombardi this year should be fine. 

[Bangarang]

McKenzie is a player with a somewhat limited skill set. The things he can do, he does pretty well.

 

That said, I wouldn’t hate Shakir getting some of his snaps in the slot. He doesn’t have blazing speed but he just gets open and catches just about everything thrown his way.

He had a bad game but this is just plain mean. He’s still human, not like he intentionally played poorly. He’s playing hard, and that’s all you can really ask for. 
 

He needs to play better if he wants to keep his job but I have zero doubts about him culturally or effort

Guy makes a million dollars plus to play a game. The criticism is just. It's not John in accounting forgetting a cover sheet. You will be replaced if you can't catch the ball. And he is very replaceable.

[HappyDays]

I've never seen an NFL skill position player look so clumsy on the field. I get guys that are physically outmatched or make dumb decisions in the moment, but how can you be an NFL wide receiver with the coordination of a teenage boy going through puberty?

On a related topic, how was the fumble by Lil D attributed to Allen? Isn’t it just like if Allen had pitched the ball back to a RB on a sweep who drops and ball? That one wouldn’t be on the QB, would it? 

[JohnNord]

He had just a horrible game between causing the fumble, dropping a pass, and stumbling in the end zone.  
 

At the same time, he’s shown that he can step up in big moments.   But yeah I think Shakir is going to take some of his snaps

He looked timid and unfocused. Wonder if the concussion impacted his play? 

Good point. Look at Knox. He’s been below his average to date. Different reason for sure but you have to believe they’ll get back closer to what they looked like least season. 

[Bills!Win!]

Just waiting for that one person to bring up Beckham or McCaffrey

The jet sweeps have vanished. He's great on those but apparently Dorsey isn't a fan.

[John from Riverside]

McKenzie had a horrible game but an easy win come on man

[dbmu1977]

Shakir seems to be a natural football player. He seems to always be in the right spot, catches everything and picks up yards after the catch.

 

I like mackenzie, but he off night probably still recuperating from his  concussion.

 

Did anyone see that poyer had to drive to KC because he wasn't clear to fly. Crazy, 15 hours in a car

[Doc Brown]

Edmunds had his helmet on after that missed pitch.  Jinxed us.

[Maynard]

It’s Tupac Shakur time. 

[Alphadawg7]

I told you so.  Said all off season and preseason that he is not an every down starter and wouldn’t finish the season as the starter.  Got so much flack for it too.  
 

Shakir > McKenzie.

 

I really like McKenzie…he is a lot of fun and a good person.  But he’s just not a starter level player and his role is best suited as a gadget guy.

Makes about as much sense as the NFL scheduling formula.  Anyone with eyeballs sees that as a McKittrick fumble.

[BillsVet]

The "only it's one game" or "bad bounces" crowd apparently has ignored his whole Bills tenure.  

 

Would love to know what Dorsey and McD really think about him, but guessing he'll transition to a new role on the bench.

You didn't have to tell me. 

 

I know he's a dumb player in the heat of moment of NFL games...........and that ultimately mental mistakes like he is prone to get you beat.

 

He is the teams biggest turnover risk.........whether it be falling on his face on a kickoff......... fumbling a perfectly thrown pass into the arms of a defender in the Rams game.......running out the clock in Miami and causing Dorsey to lose his mind........or killing two should-have-been TD drives and failing to catch other passes today in KC.   

 

I'm sure he'll make an entertaining member of the media when teams stop getting tempted by his willingness to play for near the league minimum.    If Dopey Dan Orlovsky can be a QB analyst then McKenzie should have no problem making a living talking about football if he chooses.
