I just hope he is ready in two weeks for the start of the playoffs. ‘Whatever the process is, it has them at 12-3 and the talk of the league. Hundreds of decisions are made by dozens of men day after day. None can all be perfect. You need five commas to count the possible outcomes. Surely you acknowledge that. Pointing to a bad outcome as evidence that the process failed is, well ... Life’s not perfect. We’re 12-3 with a chance to tie the best record this franchise has ever had. I’m one of those “process” lovers. Edited December 30, 2020 by Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) When I think “week to week” with the Bills I think: Singletary Milano Brown In other words I’m not thinking 13 days and give her a try for the playoffs. I’m thinking a month or so like the above and we better make the Super Bowl or it is likely the 2021 regular season. Man, I wanted to see these three receivers on the field together when it mattered most to really have this team light it up in the playoffs. I hope I am wrong.

RunTheBall Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 So many drama queens on this board. Holy crap. He got cleated, he could play next week if we absolutely needed him. He won’t play next week because we don’t need him to. He will be back for the WC game, 2 weeks is plenty of time to recover. Some of you guys are hilarious. McD has always been deliberately obtuse about the injury reports and you still try and over read every little syllable. The mental gymnastics some of you do to drum up either controversy (BARKLEY THREW A BAD BALL) or just drama in general has got to be exhausting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I totally get the introspection and thoughts surrounding Cole Beasley. Good teams find a way to play to their strengths and mitigate losses though. This IS a good team and I think The Bills will have an capable game plan for their opponent come playoffs with or without Cole Beasley. One thing I do know is he will play if at all possible. Quick Healing Cole. The entire fan base and team send best wishes and positive thoughts and prayers. Edited December 30, 2020 by Muppy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have anything to gain saying anything else. He just opened a gameplan issue. For the WC game. Week to week is an easy designation to say right after a game when you likely made a decision to rest starters. why say anything more?

Probably should have pulled the skill starters as soon as Allen was pulled. The Patriots were beyond punchless at that point and posed no threat come back. Then u and I should have played. Putting backups in with no starter help is useless. No one is questioning why the starting OL remained in game. 18 minutes ago, dollars 2 donuts said: I would rub his foot and ankle for free if I thought it would help, or if it wasn’t absolutely one of the creepiest things in the world to do.

CEN-CAL17 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Here’s the thing..... if fans have been paying attention Cole has had an ailment with his foot since about week 8... he’s hobbled occasionally. Limped a few times. Whatever it is I’m sure it’s more of the same, just maybe a deeper strain this time. It’s either turf toe or Plantar Fasciitis.. But maybe that issue of favoring that foot lead to him spraining his foot.... Beasley has been annoyed of this issue for some time now. I’m sure he just aggravated it to a much higher level. Leaving early last night I guarantee allowed for possible X-rays to be sure, and to get treatment, ice or shots prior to travel. Id expect McD just says week to week to eliminate questions of him even playing this week. Next week I’d expect day to day. But depending who we get will depend on game plan and if we need him desperately or can get by with the wildcard game. But he’s battled through something half the season. I’d assume 13 days between games will help... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Beasley will rest all week, but he will study film and participate in planning - he will help the next man up. Then playoffs. I think he will be ready for the first game. If not the first one, then the next one. A rested Beasley will be good to have. Blaming the coaches is silly and after the fact. Anything can happen on any play at any time. Good time for Smoke to be back. Edited December 30, 2020 by Bob in STL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Another thing to note, Beasley isn’t the safety valve for Allen that some think he is... He is what he is... one of the best slot WR’s in the league, but Daboll/Allen game plan specific to the opponent week to week.... Some games Beasley gets targeted a ton, and others, he’s barely targeted, i.e. last night. Edited December 30, 2020 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like McDermott saying "week to week" based off past history of players he's given that designation to but you're more likely to play a player as important as Beasley in the playoffs if he's 75% compared to the regular season if he's 75%. It would be nice if they gave us a little more information though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Per tbe Bills app Bills receiver Cole Beasley is considered week-to-week after sustaining a leg injury late during the team's victory over the Patriots on Monday, head coach Sean McDermott announced.

Steptide Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I take week to week to mean he won't play this week, but possibly next week. I really don't think his injury looked that bad, but obviously I don't know anymore than anyone else. Also, I 100% believe if McDermott can play the psychological game with other teams that they might play in the playoffs, he will.

Yeah because every back up QB gets so in many snaps in practice right ? So blaming him for a bad pass where by chance a wr gets hurt seems logical. My point is he’s not perfect nor is JA. And the plays at that point in the game are basically let’s run when they know we are and throw on 3rd down.

It didn't occur to me we were trying to set these personal highs into the 3rd and 4th q and Barkley trying to get it to him makes sense now in addition to him being upset on the bench when he left the field. Maybe thats why Allen was talking with him as much as he was when he went to the bench...like he felt bad he didn't get him to 1000. Plus McD saying "we'll do what's best for our team." Yea. We're using it as a bye. Bro, the number 2 seed is on the line this week. We aren't resting *****.

Assuming Bills are comfortable with his prep and support of JA as backup or he would be gone. He was open and Barkley just missed a short throw by 10 feet. If people can curse Knox for dropping perfectly thrown passes when he's wide open we should hold the guy throwing the ball to some similar standard at the very least. There are throws that you simply can't miss badly in a certain spot. Behind the receiver on that play was one of them. Beasley instinctively slams on the brakes because Barkley had for all intents just thrown a returnable interception. If you are going to miss that throw miss it out in front. But that's what bad QB's do...........we should know we've seen enough of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
