Interesting move - At a minimum, it'll shake up the WR locker room.  Hope it doesn't create friction, but it obviously sends a message that the team is a meritocracy: you'll only see the field if you play competently.  Go Bills!  And I can quickly forget all the non-football BS

I sure hope it creates friction. Guys need to stop clowning and concentrate on football and this sends a clear message directly from their QB and leader. There's no such thing as coasting to a championship in the NFL.

I have said it numerous times this season.  They miss Beasley big time.  If he can contribute, the offense will be much more efficient

I think he was just probably lashing out because he had some hurt feelings. Football players are human too.

 

yup. I wont cast the next stone. The dude always caught the ball on 3rd down. Lord knows we need that.

I hope Barkley gives up his #11. 😆 

He switched to 5

Dawson Knox will be ecstatic if Beasley gets back in I reckon.

I’m glad most are excited about this but I don’t see it. He declined his last year here and was cut from another team’s (a team who sucks right now) practice squad. And he openly stated he didn’t like his time in Buffalo. 
 

But if it helps at all I’m for it. And I agree that steady hands are desperately needed.

Plus, B4, I think it helps get Josh in a rhythm and comfort zone.  It helps, too, with an Oline that has been questionable lately for various reasons, including injuries.

 

 

 

 

Josh is definitely a rhythm QB.  He gets into a groove and he's unstoppable.  Just got to get him there first.

After seeing how an All-Pro (Von) can influence young players, might we think that Bease could help with Shakir’s development?  He may just catch the ball and fall down but if Shakir learns how to work against NFL coverages, next year he’s the slot guy.

This is excellent news.  I like Bease. I'm glad he will get a Super Bowl ring this season with the Bills.  I don't really care about his rapping and other off the field nonsense.  

[Don Otreply]

Well, maybe he can show enough to be elevated from the PS, for more that a game or two, (Tampa bay Bucs) he used to be a really good slot guy for us, I sure hope he still has good hands, because we need that real bad, at least he comes cheap if it doesn’t work out. 
 

GO BILLS!!!

No, I'm just saying it's a bad indicator of where the offensive personnel is at right now. We added Saffold. We added Crowder. We drafted Cook and Shakir. We extended Knox. We left the door open for Davis and McKenzie and Spencer Brown to step into bigger roles. And literally every one of these moves has been a bust. I mean it's really kind of crazy when you think about it.

Cook and Shakir were expected to take a little time to develop. Why do people call rookies busts? Especially when they are backups to more established veterans. They need time to develop.

Reggie Gilliam is hurt, what's up Pat DiMarco??

We all miss those FB Wheel routes 

[CSBill]

And this probably tells us: (1) No OBJ signing, and (2) Crowder will not be back this season.

May Day, everything else aside I said around here, "if you want to get rid of Beasley because you think he is washed up, then fine, but you got to replace him and that is not going to be easy."

 

Many said it would be...it wasn't.  Sure, the Crowder injury didn't help, but those hands, brother...those 164 receptions the last two years, regardless of yards and TDs, are what this team needs so badly right now.

Beasley is going to be a package player.  The Bills have struggled against 2 deep coverages and that's where Beasley excels.  If he's still got gas in the tank, he'll play against teams when they drop coverage.

 

McKenzie will go back to playing against man coverages, and Shakir will continue to be a rookie on a 10-3, Super Bowl contending team.

 

Not every move is a zero-sum game.  

[RichRiderBills]

Got er' done Beane. Good pick up. Literally no harm in kicking the tires. Hope Beeze is angry and in shape LFG.

[boyst]

has to be a 1 year deal, right?

If true, sounds like Josh lost confidence in Gabe and McKenzie.

This team would be 12-1 right now if McKenzie could catch a ball.  He cost us week #3 to the dolphins and week #9 to the Jets.  Something has been off with this offense for the better part of the season.  They can't keep drives going so defenses can play tough on the deep passes and it shuts us down.  The Bills window is open right f@$$ing now and they need to figure this out.  I am pleased they are trying.

Shorter passes may help preserve Josh’s arm a bit + cut down on his ‘gotta move the chains’ runs.
