I feel like Beasley’s departure was a lot dependent on what his expectations were for this season. Time tested vets like him have a hard time of accepting what reality does to receivers of that age. He thought his value was way higher than reality. A short stint on the Bucks PS may have made him wake up.
A well rested and uninjured Beasley coming in during the last few weeks with a chip on his shoulder, realizing he isn’t worth much more than vet minimum could go a long way. I would rather have a healthy Beas coming into the stretch today than a barely walking Beas facing the playoffs that we have seen the last two years.
Rusty, just because he is well rested doesn’t mean he can play anymore. If he could he would be playing for someone already. He got to put himself on film months ago on Tampa and no one was calling him after. I didn’t observe the same skills anymore. Being rested is different than having the Will to compete and the skills to keep performing at a high level. I didn’t see either in those Tampa games.

That hit by Milano on White brought back memories of the Mike Stratton (also #58) back in the 1960’s. It was even more impressive on the replays. You could just about see all the air coming out of White’s lungs.
The worst hits I have seen always involved 2 people going opposite directions at full speed like Safety vs WR or LB vs RB collisions before the rules changes back in the 70s/80s/90s like Lott, Atwater, Tatum, Lynch, Jack Ham, Romanowski, Ray Lewis, Bruce, and in the wayback it was Butkus and Night Train. I also saw Csonka also destroy about 10 Bills LBs on runs in one game at Rich.
The Milano hit literally bent White like a folding table. Compare that versus the feeble tackling of Dane Jackson who looked awful tacking one on one.

I don’t think Beasley can play anymore. No he is not able to juke much from what I observed. Period. He isn’t the same. He had 17 yards in 2 games total with Tampa and I saw both full games. His biggest play was 5 yards. He can’t run.
You people are projected a want on something that isn’t real.

Ok, with all due respect, you really don't think Beasley and Allen couldn't pick up where they left off?
I don’t think Beasley can play anymore. No he is not able to run or cut base on what I observed. Period. He isn’t the same.

Given what I've seen of Brady so far this year, thriving isn't exactly the word I'd use
It wasn’t Brady. Cole wasn’t able to run anymore. He was playing afraid to get hit and wasn’t running routes at all. Looked like a HS kid pulled out the stands. He isn’t playing anymore.

We traded him for what, a bag of icy hot?

This is 100% because Gabe Davis is overrated. He isn’t usually open.

If there were any reason for McDermott to ring up Beasley, this alone may be it. How would this be any different of a distraction than what Beasley did? McKenzie doesn't need to be worrying about what fans say, and I'm quite sure McDermott wasn't happy with this himself. For all those saying Beasley is washed up, how bad can he be at this point in the season? Most of his criticism came in the latter part of last season where he battled injuries and for the most part played through them. Then for those saying how bad he was in Tampa, even Brady himself is bad there.
Go watch the all-22 of the 2 Tampa games he played in. He was awful. He couldn’t complete routes. He had 2 slant passes go right past him, missed blocks. He made McK look like a superstar. He isn’t on another team for a reason. That was with Brady who thrives on short crap.

This reminds me of the super bowl years in the 90s. Once expectations get high, the fans expect a 20 point victory and near perfection every week. I remember people trashing Kelly whenever he threw a couple pick or didn’t complete enough, or when Thurman had a 40 yard game, or Bruce didn’t get a sack for a few games. Now they are all hall of famers. I remind the forum goers just how awful this team has been for decades and we would be talking about the draft 8 weeks into a year, and how we all wished we had a competent (FILL IN HERE- Team, offense, QB, coach, play caller, GM, WR, pass rush, corner, safety, tackling, draft, etc.)
Once we get any form of success, every win that isn’t top to bottom terrific is panned as awful. We don’t deserve to act this jaded yet. We aren’t New England where we have rings. We haven’t won squat.
Let’s enjoy the ride. It’s more fun that way. People around the country would kill to have this team, this QB, and this coach and GM as theirs. So smile a little bit and enjoy being 10-3. We were friggin 7-6 last year at this time and not playing any better!

NO THANK YOU. In his two games in Tampa he was a joke. He would be lucky to get a USFL job. Beasley is not an upgrade. If McKenzie has the dropsies then it’s next man up. Not old man tryout time. Did you see any playoff team take a flyer on him including Dallas after the failed OBJ deal when their 2nd best WR has 350 yards receiving?

Remember the Jags ™️
The Jags had more defensive talent than the Bears who just sold off their 2 best players and top WR just got lost for the season and think Chase Claypool may be their Savior. I live here and they don’t think they will win another game. Plus a division clincher is a big game and like big game Josh.

if we win next week the magic number is 1. We win or fins lose over the final 3 weeks.we can’t clinch next week because of tiebreaker scenarios coukd have Miami a better div record or tied. Third tie breaker…they would pf have a better common game record because Buffalo has a better non common game of 3-0 ( rams, chiefs, titans) vs 1-2 ( Texans, niners, chargers)
That is what I said. Thanks for affirming it. It would be a Christmas Eve Division clincher if we beat Miami. The Bears are awful.

Miami is giving up 32 points per game on the road and 15 points at home. So we are at a disadvantage at home???
Tua will be good for multiple turnovers. My instruction to our young DL is just stick your arms up every play. The kid is Flutie height and doesn’t move much. Batted and tipped balls galore. -
Dear OpEd, if I see another called unprotected Josh weak sign wide run on 3rd and 5 I will puke. That’s what he should say. We scored points when we threw not the other way around.
Passing the ball short is like running the ball and we seem to have stopped that.
We use the pass and play action pass to setup the run, not the other way around!!!!!
10 minutes ago, Freddie's Dead said:The Bills had 13 runs to Motor (8, really?), Cook (4), and McKittrick (1). There were 9 runs to Josh, so let's call those 4 designed, 5 scrambles. So with 34 pass attempts, the Bills called 39 passes to 17 runs (2.3x more passes than runs). With the weather conditions today, that's idiotic. Dorsey is ridiculously pass happy, and he needs to rein that ***** in. Today was a really bad day to completely abandon the run, yet he did. Yes, we won, but the balance in this offense was non-existent today. We'll need that to beat the better teams in the playoffs.
False narrative. KC doesn’t win playoff games running, neither does Cinci or Miami. It’s pass first. The Ravens and Titans model is not winning in the AFC playoffs. Only one team will be running the ball and it will be the NFC team in the Super Bowl. Even Philly is pass first.

The coaches are weird about the db's saying even before the season started that Dane earned that spot and someone would have to take it from him. What exactly did he do to earn that spot besides have Wallace walk to a different team? I'm sick of this coaching bias where such and such guy earned their spot. How about best player on Sundays plays? That goes for Shakir over McKenzie too. It should be open competition at every position every week
Except Shakir much like Cook misses blocking assignments all the time which is a major sin and will cut your time in this offense. In means you don’t know your fundamentals. I think they see that in Elam at times too. They refuse to lose a playoff game on a blown coverage so they instead will let Dane blow tackles instead.

So if we win Saturday we can’t clinch the division because even though we are 3 up with 3 games left the next tiebreaker is in division percentage and Miami could be better if they win out and we lose out(4-2 vs 3-3.) So we have to wait until Christmas Eve in Chicago, even if we beat Miami, to clinch our 3rd straight division.

Billionaires have been running this country since the robberbarron years. The moment Reagan de- regd the trust laws it was a given it would stay that way. The dems complain about big business but don’t even force any movement toward competition and the GOP complains about tech but won’t dare force competition. It’s setup for the mega rich to limit competition and rule the country by both parties.

Joe won the Super Bowl. Baker won a game….

I would be tackling people as an OL if I knew I would only cost my team a measly 5 yards and not even loose a down. With a sack you loose a down and more than 5 yards so you might as well hold every down.

The Bills defense over the middle of the field is markedly better when he is there than when he is out. We looked worse in the games he didn’t play this year. He isn’t Ray Lewis, but that isn’t today’s NFL. His giant wing span and range is what allows us to play that 2 LB nickel scheme almost exclusively. I don’t think they want to alter their whole scheme while they’re find another perfect fit MLB. It’s more likely they let someone like Gabe walk because he will be overpaid and he just isn’t earning a $17 million paycheck he could be getting in ‘25. Personally I would sign him to a super long term deal, like 7 years with 3 team voidable, which makes his deal eventually cheap and easy to spread.

The great thing is now McD just need to walk in Monday and say Boys you totally control your own future. Then we have 2 weeks in a row to feed off that with our home crowd in division game energy.

On defense I know the Bengals have trouble when teams have a #1 go to WR, which the Chiefs do not have.
On offense I noticed Burrow threw numerous passes too easily through the spot that Tremaine would be that in no way would be completed against our defensive scheme or would have been tipped/picked. I also think our scheme holds up better against the swings they run to Perine since our LBs and Nickel are much better in coverage. Burrow does’t move of his spot much, which to me makes it easier to collapse the pocket or get a hand up.
So I think they are a very dangerous team, but one I feel we match up against well if we can neutralize big plays, which to me is up to the play of Hamlin, and Dane/Elam/Rhoades.

Just as long as we have time to construct our Miami sideline overhead fan and misting towers to hang over their benches to get their bench the requisite 25 degrees cooler than ours in code with the Miami weather playbook.
Updated Beasley signing to practice squad

Why didn’t Daboll call him when they had all their receivers go down when he is playing small ball and fighting for the playoffs? Ask yourself that.
