CEN-CAL17 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I just think it’s crazy everyone gets Covid these days and the Flu has disappeared….. 2019- 38 Million cases of the Flu 2020- 2k cases of the flu Curious to see what the flu numbers are so far or what will be for this year. I remember when athletes got the flu and would play sick…. Now everyone just gets covid! 1 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Just now, No Place To Hyde said: So, let me ask this. Honestly. If Cole has 10 catches for 70 yards that's a solid game from him right? If Davis (who has barely been seeing the field) steps in and gets 6 catches for 70 yards...is that not replacing production? Also understand that other players may see a spike in targets. Beasley is good at getting separation...no doubt. But he is not the "irreplaceable force" many make him out to be. We have seen him while playing injured disappear for entire games. Wheels keep going. It's nice when he's out there and an asset...absolutely. But his production is definitely replacable. Judge production however you want to judge it. When it comes to receivers, my primary measuring stick is do they get open and catch the ball. The stats say unequivocally that Beasley does that exceptionally well. So well in fact, that if you look at the guys who had more catches than him this year, you will see that Beasley is fourth or fifth on the list for completion percentages. He gets open and catches the ball. In fact, he does it better than a lot of well known players NFL fans drool over like Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Davante Adams, etc. Beasley is a way above average receiver. And it is remarkable he outperforms much larger receivers with a larger catching radius. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the Buffalo Beasleys. Davis, McKenzie....perhaps Stevenson all need to and have the ability to step up. We lost Tre and Dane Jackson has stepped up. Good teams find a way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already know what he can do. He had his shot. He showed last season. 5 TDs, 9.4 ypc...282yds. Not bad for a guy getting limited opportunities...

Not the same. Davis should ALSO get 6 catches with Beasley there. And no one is better than Beasley at getting those critical short 3rd down passes for a first. So yes, we will miss him, especially if the weather is bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense. They can return after no negative tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them 3/4 the season to realize Singletary is a #1 back and should be getting the bulk of the carries, among other head scratching moves.

Couldn't care less about Hill, Adams, Kelce et all. But I can mention other players too. Earlier in the season the Cardinals lost Kylar for a couple games. They still won. Team sport. You don't have to have a 1:1 swap. Production can come from many areas. And even be a cumulative stat. It's ridiculous to think that any WR (even Diggs) is completely irreplaceable. Hey, remeber when we lost Tre? Defense seems to be skipping along. People step up. You are gonna lose it when he's a cap cut this offseason 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it’s disappeared but the numbers from 2020-21 were beyond low. My point is you never hear of anyone being sick or having the flu in sports anymore, all you here is Covid and craziness.

Utah John Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 If I'm Beane, this off season I will cut/trade any player who's not vaccinated. Period. Probably he won't be allowed to say that's what's behind each move, but the players will get the message. And obviously not sign as FAs, or draft, any unvaxxed players. Send the message that the Bills are committed to winning, and anyone who's NOT committed to winning doesn't belong on the team. 1 5 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 That is unfortunate but the show must go on, between, Diggs, Knox, Davis and Sanders the team should have enough fire power but Beasley probably not being there stinks. 2 minutes ago, Utah John said: If I'm Beane, this off season I will cut/trade any player who's not vaccinated.

Beasley and Poyer are both not easy to replace for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
