Should we bring back John Brown for the Patriots game?

[transplantbillsfan]

He obviously knows the offense and has familiarity with Josh. Now with Cole and Davis out, we're down to 5 WRs and one is coming off a knee injury and 2 are purely ST players.

 

I saw this proposal when Beas got on the list. Now Davis is on.

I think the receivers we'll have will be fine.  The O line needs to man up.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Always liked his contributions when the Bills were WR poor, but hasn't there been a lot of talk that he's been 'mouldering in the grave'?

[PromoTheRobot]

Too late to do it.

[wppete]

I like that idea if possible. 

[MJS]

Maybe if this happened a few days ago. I just think it is too late now.

Hadn't heard about Gabe, but you going with Kumerow and Muffquez as WR3 and WR4?  Bad juju man ....  Get SmokeY two days of practice or draw it in the dirt....

I'd like to see him brought back but as Sal noted this morning on WGR........Brown was pretty pissed when they cut him.

 

Not like he has a lot to gain financially by showing up to be on the PS or even play a couple games so he would have to have the want-to to come back if the Bills called him.

It’s not the worst idea but you’re probably right from a timing perspective.

 

We do have Stevenson who has speed and isn’t tiny at 5’10”. What’s the deal with Hodgins?

It’s an idea that sounds better on paper than in reality.  Brown has fallen off a Cliff.  There’s a reason he’s a street FA.

time for touch down jesus 

[GLP]

It's time to try anything and everything. Isn't COVID lovely.

[nucci]

do you really think we can bring him in today and he would be ready and contribute Sunday?

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Knowing the offense is nice, but I think Brown’s career is definitely over, seeing as how he failed to catch on with multiple teams …. As far as Gabe, it definitely sux, seeing as how he was the hot hand,  but we got to this point without him playing a significant role in the offense, so I would hope our offense can survive his loss.

[CircleTheWagons99]

Can he play guard now?

[billsfan89]

I don't hate the idea since this team is going to be pretty desperate at WR with Beasley and Davis out. Brown could step in and give the team something as a 4th option.

Not sure anymore since many rules have changed, but thought there was a rule that any potential signing of a "street player" (that did not come directly from another team environment) had to quarantine for 10 days before reporting?

Instead of bringing in a worn out Brown, IMO they'd be better off implementing some plays to get Brieda, McKenzie and Stevenson on the field at the same time early in the game in an effort to threaten the Pats*** downfield.  Hope Allen can create enough time to find the one that's open and hope whichever one that is can catch the ball.  If they can establish the need to respect the available deep speed throughout the game, an aspect that the Bills really haven't utilized all season, maybe it will keep the Pats*** off balance enough that they can work with what they have. The obvious fly in the ointment is the OL is just as screwed as the WR corps at the moment, but that would be the case with or without Brown, as well.

[boater]

He couldn't even cut it on the Jaguar's practice squad.

I believe that was only for 2020.
