By the way, the chant is BEASEEEEEEE, not BOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

It annoyed t me when Cole complained about being booo'ed when it was quite the opposite. That was sketch. I'm literally yelling for the guy and he claims that I was booo'ing. That was weird.

Beasley 6 

 

(Just Saying) 

Gotta normalize it by target or it doesnt mean anything.  Once you normalize it by target you see that he was actually about as good as Diggs this year and better than McKenize, Shakir, and Davis.

 

Diggs 7= .05

Davis 7=.09

McKenzie 5=.09

Shakir 2=.11

Knox 2=.04

 

2021 

Beasley 6=.05

Not practice squad for long......

Will be there for at least three weeks.  They will elevate him very weekend and put him back into the PS.  It is a 3 game tryout

I think part of the back and forth is that there has been a vocal crowd pounding the table for Beasley and a vocal response that people thought he was toast. 

Here we are, he is on the roster. And now people are either saying either "Finally this is the solution!" or "What a nothing burger. The guy is dunzo". 

I really think the issue is that we have 2 receiving backs that we rarely throw the ball to, along with a high priced TE who lines up in the slot as much as any TE in the league but is never thrown to, an OL that is inconsistent on its best days, and a QB that has a penchant to attempt low percentage throws more often than high percentage throws. Cole Beasley doesn't fix any of that. 
 

I agree.  End of the day the Bills are the 2nd best team in the NFL on 3rd down and you have the Beasley Anons making is sound like we never convert a 3rd down.  

 

Slot production is a problem, WR production is a problem, but they are send and third order issues to the fact our OL cannot block anything and the only time Josh has time is when Knox and Backs are left in to block.  Or Josh does Josh things

I didn't mind the whole vax issue and his public stance on it, I actually agreed with him on it.

 

His comment about him being glad he's not here leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

Still, if he can help us win, I'm all for it. 

 

Most of us had questions at WR going into the season and some of the moves Beane made didn't work. Let's do what we can to get through the rest of this season, but Beane definitely needs to address WR next offseason.  

 

Yeah from a football standpoint if he can help the team rest of it doesn't matter much. He just needs to avoid making himself a distraction once here and focus on football. 

[TheFunPolice]

love the signing!

 

Allen reportedly was the catalyst here, and I'm sure the players have his back.

 

Now someone needs to make a "We're chanting BEEES!" t-shirt and we'll be all set. We don't need any more misunderstandings when he catches balls for big first downs!

With the way defenses play us now the smart high IQ slot WR is so freaking crucial.  

 

Take what they give.  

 

Move the chains.  

This.  All day long.  It’s a huge need.  Whether Beasley is the guy to fill the need is to be determined.  We know that the guys otherwise available to us now aren’t cutting it.  

 

It’s nice that they took the step this week.  We beat Miami at home last year because of Beasley.  I’m not saying that I expect anything like that this week.  He might not even be active.  But if he can pick up one key third down it’s worth it.  

[msw2112]

I did not like the distraction that Beasley was to the team in his last stint and I did not like the negative comments he made on the way out the door.  That said, if he keeps mouth shut and focuses on football, he may be able to help.  A few random comments about the situation:

 

• If Crowder was healthy, I don't think this signing occurs
• We got Beasley back at a much lower price than had we retained him going into the season
• We got Beasley back fully healthy at the end of the season, where he has not been in previous seasons
• For now, he's only on the Practice Squad.  So he has a little bit of time to get into game shape.  And if he shows in practice that he's simply washed out and done, he can easily be released.

Again I dont have to do anything.  because I was responding to the OP that said we lead the league in drops.  Not we league the lead in drops normalized by target

Sorry, I just assumed you were trying to make a point.

We disagree, he is healthier than last year and IMO if he remains that way in - weeks he's lifting that trophy with his teammates. Positive thinking Ricky Bobby...

[Toyo321]

Who cares what he did in the past if he can make amends in the locker room and come out on the field and maked 5 to 10 catches a game like he did before its worth it.

McKenzie and Crowder sure as hell never game us a 5 to 10 catch game this year for the 8 Million we paid them.  They were also at the bottom of this league in reliability when on the field when it came to catching the ball.  

 

What matters is,  if Beasley can prolongs drives and gets us more of an advantage in the slot again this is a huge piece that has been missing from our game this year.

 

Glad he's back.

Knock it off! He doesn't have to do anything. 

 

It was just pointless banter.

I’m not a Bease anon (quite the opposite, actually), and I usually agree with just about everything you say.  The last four weeks, however, have been a major problem.  And, after watching McKenzie nearly make a mess of another game on Sunday, I’m willing to take the low-risk, high-reward approach here and see if we get a little lucky.

I agree with the top Bullet.

 

I will add another, if we didnt need Knox to bail out the OL an he could actually get into routes, this signing doesn't occur.

If we don't get a I love you josh allen I'll be pissed

Actually McKenzie has 3 5+ catch games.

Agreed on both counts, and I’ll add that if Hodgins was still here he’d have had a crack at this role already.

Has to make the team first.  Which means he has to show he can still play..  He is on the PS.  Will come up on GameDays and go back to PS for the next 3 weeks.  Then decision time.
