ChronicAndKnuckles Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Not counting the post-season. Bills have 8 games to go. I even think 3 is possible, but a long shot. Do you think it's possible? Who do you think will be the 2? I think the last time Buffalo had two 1K+ WRs was the early 2000s w/ Eric Moulds and Peerless Price. Cole Beasley = 461 Emmanuel Sanders = 500 Stefan Diggs = 750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Possibly, but with the addition of a 17th game and the way this is a passing league I believe 1000 yard receivers will be pretty commonplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I think 3 will be even more commonplace. Edited November 16, 2021 by ChronicAndKnuckles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBobs Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Cole Beasley had 967 yards in a 16 game season last year where he sat in the last game. If we play 17 competitive games this season I think there's an outside chance we get all three above 1000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could happen, but what I'd like to see is to have some load sharing to Davis and McKenzie. I think keeping "fresh legs" on Beasley and Sanders for the playoffs would be better for the Bills and for them in the long run 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keeping "fresh legs" on Beasley and Sanders for the playoffs would be better for the Bills and for them in the long run Agreed. I've clamored for Gabe Davis since the off-season to have a big year. He's produced almost every time he's targeted. I'm torn w/ McKenzie. I love him as a returner and an occasional package-player, but I want to see what he can do on offense besides to the occasional jet sweep. Would be neat to see Daboll run more double-slot formations. At the same time, keeping McKenzie fresh for ST's will play a huge part in the field position battle.

Well, with 17 games you have to average just 58.8 yards a game (rushing or receiving) for 1,000. I just don't rind 1000 yards a season to be a benchmark anymore. 1,250 yards (73.5 yards a game) I think is much more indicative of a stellar year IMO.

I think Beasley will have his first 1k season. 1 minute ago, No Place To Hyde said: Well, with 17 games you have to average just 58.8 yards a game (rushing or receiving) for 1,000.

Sugar High JA17 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Diggs & Sanders if healthy, Thats pretty radical right there but i aint gonna sweat it dudes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think a couple of 1000 yard receivers is likely. On another subject, can Stevenson come off IR? There would probably have to be injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they use McKenzie more on offense, the possibility of bringing up Stevenson to do kick and punt returning duties greatly increases.

Cole Beasley = 461 Emmanuel Sanders = 500 Stefan Diggs = 750 I think its possible to get 2 guys over 1000, but with Knox back and Davis and McKenzie even getting more snaps, I am skeptical we do just based on how much we spread the ball around. For example, some context is missing from those stats though...Knox missed 3 games and Davis wasn't used a lot first half the season. Knox is obviously an important cog to the offense, but I also think they are trying to get Davis more snaps too, even McKenzie is starting to show up in the offense some lately. Plus, I suspect Diggs will see more targets moving forward as well. 2 guys over 1000: Possible, but skeptical with everyone healthy. 3 guys over 1000: Not likely without injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be optimal. The Bills absolutely need to go into the playoffs w/ a healthy cast of WRs. Hopefully we see a continuation of Gabe Davis and McKenzie as the season progresses. Take some of the wear and tear off the starters. 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: I think its possible to get 2 guys over 1000, but with Knox back and Davis and McKenzie even getting more snaps, I am skeptical we do just based on how much we spread the ball around.

Knox could indeed be the X-factor going forward. Look how the offense performs when he's a healthy scratch. This team has needed a competent Tight End for so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I think it’ll be 3. I think the passing offense gets more consistent in the second half. This team right before the midpoint, typically has a few game slump. I think we are out of it now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
