wjag Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The seeming strength of this team are all now sporting injuries. Diggs - oblique, McKenzie- ankle, Beasley - ankle?/knee and maybe even Brown with some residual calf stuff strain. My guess is three will be on injury report this week. Beasley clearly was limping around with a brace and sporting some tape on his ankle. This bears watching all week. I doubt receivers are going to catch much practice time this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Biggest concern is Beasley. Smoke and McKenzie were quiet yesterday so hopefully they’ll be ready this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBBills Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) My biggest concern is if Daboll's brain is injured... Running the ball when the strength is the pass. When the Bills passed the ball they had no problems, the second they tried to run the whole drive fell apart... And he tried to do it many times.

We’ve seen all season them get 7-8 yards on first down and run on subsequent downs to pick up the first. Yesterday was tough sledding for Moss.

I think this is the untold story of the game. I believe all our wide receivers, save Davis, played less (maybe far less) than 100% today and Daboll's game planning and play calling was about managing the situation. - With MacKenzie and Beasley, it their limitations were clear. - With Diggs, while he had a great game, he was not working the underneath routes in high traffic areas where he has been so dominant. I think he was being protected. If this is correct, it makes today's win very impressive. Heal fast and go Bills! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsatlastin2018 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The WRs, if banged up, should do nada more than rehab & walk through. They can catch! No further practice is needed. Brown does need to be replaced with a younger, larger version. Hey, make the Super Bowl and win it and all kinds of FAs will be knocking on the door to play in Buffalo in September!

Playoffs? Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 They’re banged up, but they’ll all be back out on the field next week. In some cases, we won’t get the skinny on these injuries until after the season... and then you go “wow, I can’t believe he played with that injury.” Or “ahh, that injury explains it..” We did see how important having Cole Beasley out there is. He once again made some critical and tough catches for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that CB on the sidelines an Ya-Sin already out, I was counting on flooding the field with WR’s and creating mismatches. The Bills ran the ball with Moss, (the CB then came back on the field) then ran it two more times with Allen to include that puzzling run to the left that lost 5 yards, and had to settle for a FG. Daboll was not good there. Edited January 10, 2021 by Beast 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Allen run to left is a classic play the QB is supposed to read the D at the line and audible if necessary. Allen should have counted the men in box and what side of field they were on. If you look at the other side of field, they are setting up for a WR screen because that is the 3rd option on play. When counting the men, Allen would have quickly released he could have got the first on just throwing it out to the WR quickly. This is classic madden type stuff. Daboll did not have his best game, but running too much was not the issues. Allen needed to read the field better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Allen ignored him for a little bit. Brown had 4 targets and was open more than that. One target Allen sailed over his head, another went thru browns hands, the other two brown was doubled and defenders had good coverage. its his second half of football in months in a game with a poor game plan on both sides of the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way rookie WRs come into the league, I find it difficult to pay number 2 WR 9 million dollars. You can find number 2 WR in the draft pretty easily in 2021.
