Dr. Who Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just now, DabillsDaBillsDaBills said: Did you watch 2021 Cole Beasley when his production took a nose dive as he got older and injured ? He looked washed in 2021 playing for us, and he looked worse on the Bucs in 2022. Beasley might have some familiarity with the playbook, but he never played in Dorsey's system. His rapport with Allen has some value, but not enough to make up for his physical deficiencies. Do you think Dorsey's system is substantially different from Daboll's? Part of the reason he was hired was for the sake of continuity. Allen apparently asked for Beasley, so his opinion is worth noting. I thought he was washed last year. Maybe he is, but I don't see how Beasely can do worse than what we're currently getting from the slot and he might have a late spring and help us for the playoff run and post-season.

Mango Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 24 minutes ago, DC Greg said: Well said. Josh wanted this, and if he and Beane think it will help, trust their judgement. I am thrilled that Beane listens to the star QB and players in general on things like this. He doesn't let them dictate everything, but I think that his listening and making moves when possible (think giving Poyer that additional incentive in his contract before the season) is further building this great culture the Bills have and the trust between players/management. Beasley is a very low risk potentially "high" (relatively) reward move. I know many people disagreed with his vaccine stance and feel butthurt by the way he left, but everyone deserves second chances. He was a great team player for years and well liked and respected across the board. I'm sure he will keep his head down and is only here for one reason: to win. Again, Josh's word is good enough for me. This is Josh's team. He picked his OC. He asked to pull specific guys out of retirement. We signed your BF to a big TE contract. You pay your QB big money, you let him call his shots. I have no issue. But that also comes with some responsibility. Your contract limits your weapons. When you pick your weapons/play caller, you open yourself up to bear the brunt of your production. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the worst that can happen? He catches a few balls? Worst that could happen? Idk he drops balls like McKenzie does already.🤷 Its really a no-lose situation unless you are intolerant of other views than your own. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Really not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, it wreaks of shear desperation and validates everything critics like myself have been saying about this team and Beane's mishandling of this roster in the offseason. But on the other, if Bease has anything left in the tank it could be a season saving move in terms of getting this offense back on track to be able to win in the playoffs. Guess we'll find out pretty quick either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTime101 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 THE BAND IS BACK BABY! We got all we need speed on the ends. Short yardage master in the slot. SUPERBOWL. Im saying it now... we all underestimated the loss of Cole and Brown. I will eat that crow. The McKenzie experiment is OVER WWE THIS IS AWESOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 This is fake news. We were told by @john wawrowthat Beasley and the covid drama nearly tor the team apart last year. There's no way they'd bring him back. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 This ENTIRE situation was built and caused by how McD and Beane built this team. Once again ignoring the offense, and now when we should be hitting all cylinders for the run we are trying to turn back the clock to 2019-2020. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is confused why we added Cole to the PS then check above and read that three times to yourself again. Or…read below: WE LEAD THE NFL IN DROPS. Drops are an issue. Don't get me wrong. But people are also conflating catch% with drops. Take the Jets game, Shakir's only target was basically a throw away OOB. That counts as 0% catch rate on the stat page. Also, Miami is tied in drops with 25 and they have Hill, Waddle, and Big Mike at TE. You throw the ball a lot, you get a lot of drops. We seem to be dropping a ton the last month. I don't get it. It didn't feel like a huge issue in the first 8 games of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very good football player for this team, his rapport with Josh is 2nd to none except Diggs, and if healthy/in shape will be a valuable asset to this team in our Playoff run. I have been reading everything, the people that are against this have unknown sign in names and boston accents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 24 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: Really can’t figure out why anyone would have an issue with this. Slot WR position has been a let down. If he has nothing left he won’t get on the field. If he has something left, he will be mixed in and see what he can do. Either way, there is like zero risk here and only potential to help a weak spot on the offense. And he knows the offense and he knows Josh. I think this was a good move that presents no risk. He will be cut if he is incapable of contributing. the risk is he will disprove some really hot hot takes that have been posted here. if you aren't in the take merchant game, you have NO IDEA what it takes to come up with your own hot takes, to get them out on a moderated board, WITHOUT GETTING BANNED, and the THRILL of being able to say i told you so and lord your takes over everyone. deep down in places you don't post about on gameday threads, you want these hot takes, you NEED these hot takes. So either step up and post about some 12th ranked qb in the draft and how we need to draft him as our back up, or some barely understood defensive scheme we have to change over to immediately. otherwise, step back and let the takes happen!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the distraction he created last year. Didn't like his comments on the way out the door. But if he can get back into game shape over the next 4 weeks and help the team, I'm all for it. For all the crap he talked, he's swallowing his pride to come back. And the one thing no one can ever take away from him is that he is a warrior on the football field. Now we just need Jerry to force his release from Houston. Edited December 13, 2022 by Motorin' 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just get open on third down like usual, Bease. The Sneezely Beasley. I do wonder what he has left in the tank. He bailed after what, two or three weeks with ol' Tampa Tom? I also saw it mentioned that the dude replied to a tweet back in November that he was very happy not being in Buffalo so I wonder what changed. Wait, no I don't. They said, here's some money, go catch the pigskin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Firebaugh Kid Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Badly needed this signing, and it's so cool to have the band back together that started this run in 2019. Let's finish it in '22. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Gotta give alot of credit to McDermott and Beane. I personally love Bease, but I could see why the front office wouldn't want him back after a few comments he made. Takes alot to put the past behind and move forward. Lots of respect for the front office 1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some not getting it and being annoyed at the league rules. Some that got it because they aren't star players and didn't want to get cut over it. Then you have guys like Bruce Smith telling guys they don't care about the team if they don't get it... Yea, ok, I'm sure that sat well with a guy like Josh or Cole, when Cole basically played on a broken leg for us in the playoffs. Just glad we're past that...
