Do we get Jamison Crowder back this season?

[John from Riverside]

As much as I want cole to step in and be that guy Jamison, Crowder was the guy that was supposed to be feeling that rule

 

Do we get them back this season yes or no

[LeGOATski]

I'm pretty sure that he's eligible to return. Has been working out on the sidelines the past couple weeks. Nothing concrete has been said about when he'll be back, but it seems like it could be any week now.

I’d rather see Beasley or McKenzie, especially at this point of the season. I don’t want Allen trying to find chemistry with any receiver come playoff time.

He has to do that with Beasley... not being around for a year does that. Also Beasley is obviously over the hill.

He has been with Beasley for the prior three seasons and, no….Beasley is not obviously over the hill. I realize you think you can just plug a guy in and it will work. That’s not the way it goes.

So that doesn't matter... he still needs to rebuild with a guy who has not played in almost a year. You are putting so much stock in a guy who retired and came back just to ride the bench the last few games.

4th and 7, season on the line….I’ll take Beasley over either Crowder or McKenzie in the slot.

[Doc Brown]

I don't think you sign Beasley if you think Crowder's coming back to play a significant role.  I highly doubt it this late in the season.

Beasley’s career, even as a Bill, has been short yardage receiving patterns and situations.

 

There is no real timing or same page scenario to work on.  There is no deep out and he lost a step concerns.

 

They just have to utilize him in that capacity, which they haven’t really done yet. 
 

The ideal Beasley game, as I’ve said here before, that helps the team?

 

6 targets, 5 receptions, 40 yards, and 4 first downs.
 

That’s who is.  That’s who he was. THAT’s what they need.

So far the last few fourth downs Beasley has been on the sideline so it doesn't look like it's working.

My grandma has better hands than McKenzie so a Beasley and Crowder combo works for me

I’d rather have Beasley and YOU, than McKittrick.

Yeah, she's also 6'3", 220 and runs a 4.4 forty

[atlbillsfan1975]

It can’t hurt to have Crowder healthy. One injury away from needing him big time.

My hope or thought is that the Bills know what Beasley can do and have already flashed it. The 2-15 catch against Chicago for 9 yards was vintage Bease. I am waiting for the game against a zone coverage team where Cole goes for like 8 catches 75 yards and a TD.

At this point, I don't know if Jamison Crowder even makes a difference.  Just another body that will get 1-2 targets if he's lucky.  This passing game just feels like it lacks focus and structure at the core, and probably needs to go back to the drawing board in the offseason.  

 

We have talent at the position.  Not Cincinnati Bengals talent.  But enough that we shouldn't be shut-down so easily by defenses.  Week after week (for the past two months), we get short spurts of rhythm and success.  Maybe 1-2 quarters, and then it goes right back to being a grind.  Something has just felt off.

 

All the hype about re-signing John Brown and Cole Beasley... I think we got one target for Brown down the sideline, and nothing since.  Beasley caught a couple passes and has been a ghost otherwise.  Meanwhile we had at least 2-3 times in the Bears game where Josh Allen was forcing the ball downfield into tight coverage to Isaiah McKenzie.  Is Khalil Shakir actually on this team?  And how many more games can Stefon Diggs be completely ignored before he starts getting frustrated?

There is no doubt Ken Dorsey is saving Cole Beasley for the playoffs

I don't know about that--I'm no fan of McKenzie, and Beasley may be done--but whenever I think of Crowder, I remember that slightly high pass from Allen bouncing off his tiny hands for an interception. That might have been a chemistry problem on the part of Crowder, who may not have been accustomed to Allen's high velocity.

But are those short bursts of success because of WR talent or Allen making things happen? I see a superstar surrounded by mediocrity players (except for Diggs) and making them look special. Put it this way: can you think of a WR besides Diggs bailing out Allen this season with a great catch? And how many drops can you remember from MacKenzie alone? 

 

No, this is a team with a bottom-tier offensive line and a truly mediocre set of WRs aside from Diggs. Allen by himself makes commentators gush that "this offense is loaded" and "Allen is surrounded by weapons."
