Richard Noggin Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The drops are clearly a problem for this offense. I thought Allen was fairly locked in early, and Beasley carries some blame in ending two first half drives. That's at least two interceptions we can pin on #10 this season. He's a small guy who probably has relatively small hands for an NFL receiver. That's been an issue. Gotta have those plays. As the broadcast illustrated for us with an info-graphic, Bills starting wide receivers are short. And my observation has been that they, outside of Brown (WHO ALSO HAD ALLIGATOR ARMS ON A BIG PLAY EARLY IN THE GAME), don't make difficult or contested catches with enough frequency. Not every pass will be perfect, no matter who the QB is. But "complete" receivers will more often win (or at least play effective defense) on a big time 50/50 ball where his QB puts it up and gives him an opportunity. Smoke has made a few such catches this season. Little guys like Hill in K.C. can do it. But imagine having a big, long boundary receiver who specializes in high-pointing the ball...it's why some fans are so obsessed with Duke Williams. We lack that facet of our passing attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Brown. He's had good hands almost all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands are pretty good for the most part just too bad he didn't run a better post route vs Baltimore. Still glad both are on the Bills...huge upgrade over what the Bills had last year at WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Professional WRs should catch balls that hit them in the hands. I like Beasley but he has to make catches like those even if the ball is not right on the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwnyer Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Watch the replay he flinched knowing he was gonna get hit that’s why he didn’t reach out for the ball you can see his body turning slightly to lessen impact before the catch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 1 or 2 last week. 1 for sure drop this week and the interception seemed to bounce off his hands so that might make 6 or 7 on the year. Not sure but I dont think I saw him on the field after the interception. Did anyone notice if they benched him or restrict his playing time after that? Not sure but if it was Duke that pass would have been caught if for nothing else because he is taller, that being said for what Mckenzie did (which all's i saw him do was block) Duke would be much better on the field than on the bench !! In so many ways !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beasely cant help that he is short Yes, and a really high hard throw is not easily handled. I was pissed a couple time with the Bea's last night but replays showed touch and ball placement on the throw was more the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Talking about that interception? My first thought was it was on Cole, but on replay Josh threw it needlessly high. So blame on both sides. Josh was a little off at times Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
