Nothing against Beasley, but it's time to get Gabe Davis on the field and get more speed in the slot.  Sanders kicks in, or we put another big body on the field. Whatever.  We need more speed. 

The Bills need to look into drafting a #2 wideout this year.    Need youth at the position and hopefully someone with speed and reliable hands.

Or…Josh could just throw it in rhythm to open receivers where they wouldn’t have to stretch out to make a circus catches.

I think youre overblowing the amount of times our wideouts have to make circus catches.  Theyve dropped plenty of routine plays lately.   And when called on to make circus catches or at some point turn a five yard gain into a 20 yard gain they should be doing that as well.

6. Cole Beasley’s slight decline?

The Bills limited Cole Beasley’s snaps early Sunday, just as they had in their previous two games. Beasley has dealt with a ribs injury, which is surely painful and has limited some of his effectiveness. However, the more significant problem might be that Beasley isn’t the explosive and shifty player he was last year. Throughout the season, even when healthy, Beasley hasn’t generated nearly the same separation that we’ve seen in previous seasons. Speed and the ability to quickly cut and gain separation can disappear quickly with older players, and once it goes, it’s tough to get back. Beasley remains a solid player against zone coverage, which will make him a big piece of the puzzle the rest of this season. But once Beasley starts to get back to full health, this is something to keep an eye on. Either way, the Bills need to give more time to second-year wide receiver Gabriel Davis, who is their second-most dynamic receiver behind Stefon Diggs.

 

 That's what I'm seeing too.  Too many fans thinking with their hearts instead of their heads. They need to get younger at WR, bring in some players who will mesh with Josh for the next 4-5 years.

Well, we have Gabe 22, Diggs 28, Mckensie 26 and Stevenson waiting in the wings. I don't think we need to get younger and these guys all have enough speed. We need better play calling. Shorter routes, sweeps, pitches and crossing routes. Daboll could call shorter routes so Josh isn't looking for the deep shot all the time and force him to quicker throws. Run plays more from under center etc...
