Oh yes, I know that. I should have specified it was from when I was reading through your forums and from a rando poster. It's obviously an outlier opinion from someone who doesn't seem to get that we didn't come up with this "solution".

I totally agree on all counts here. Micah or Marlowe.

I will say that "#F***TheBills" was disappointing. But we're all human, I get it.

Yeah I got that sense reading your board, lol. It's tough to know. Our MO this year is to look like absolute horseshit on defense in the first quarter then lock it down. We made the Bears look dynamite in the first drive last week. I think the game was a toss up, and certainly not the beatdown you may have expected. I am pissed about the Chiefs.

I'd be miffed if I were the Bengals too, but a bunch of teams feel that way. Even some here. You have a good claim to the shortest straw for sure. I will say I'm amused by the sentiment that appeared to be implied on the Bengals forum that the NFL has favoritism for the Bills. That'd be a first, lol. They should have flipped a damn coin.

Wtf

Kinda is an understatement. I hate it so much. Oh well.

F*** that Detroit turf.

Where's it goin down? Let's send Kiva.

I really only see two scenarios that would give me confidence: (1) Hyde comes back, which would give better support behind the corners, and (2) we run with a dime package as @Straight Hucklebuckhas mentioned. I hope and believe the former will happen (less sure than I was prior the Hamlin incident), and I don't expect our coaches to do the latter. Edit: maybe Benford could play safety, which although totally untried and unlikely, is alluring to me in the "please not Johnson or Lewis" sort of sense. Hopefully Marlowe will play this weekend and make us feel better. But the last few weeks don't make me think that the coaches will play him.

A smile from Tre is just awesome to see.

There won't be a scenario that avoids some team, perhaps several, having to accept a less than ideal outcome. It might very well be us. Fwiw, I am pro coin flip.

Isn't it because the Saints hold his rights and would want to receive compensation?

Live on the Bills' website as well, presumably?

#DidWeWin could easily become a thing

I am officially on #MicahWatch. He comes back...look out.

Man I hate the Chiefs.

Amazing.

I just don't understand how a coin flip isn't the obvious solution here. I mean, hell, it was a pick em to begin with.

I am just reminding myself that most treatment plans seemed to focus on Thursday as the day where we would likely know more.

Coin-flip/lotto balls. It's the most tolerable imo.

I agree, but given the run of inactive designations, I'm skeptical they'll make it.

Doh. I knew that, at some point.

For sure. I just expect that the usual Tuesday team meetings are football focused, whereas right now they are not.

And then you have Dawkins' comments about the team's focus right now - not just mentally, but they literal team meetings. They are not preparing for the game (yet).
