Gilmores injury: out 6 to 8 weeks

[The Avenger]

On the bright side, maybe when he's healthy he'll be able to catch the pick-6 INTs that hit him right in the numbers - that would be great!

[Dorkington]

Damn. Lost our only CB.

 

Might as well play two safeties and 9 LB/DLs.

[Dibs]

I'd really like to see those stats and hear your argument because the Bills pass defense got roasted over the last 8 games.....

Are their any teams in the league right now who have a similar situation like we do with WR's only with CB's?

 

CBF

Supposedly according to Peter King, Seattle and Cincy have the deepest rosters and will need to end up releasing good talent... not sure if it is specific to DBs.

[AtlBills]

Per Fox Sports on PFT, Gilmore will miss 6-8 weeks with a wrist, hand injury. The injury itself was not disclosed.

[Big Turk]

 

 

That's something of a stretch IMO...it was happenstance. I don't think you can afford to play "butterfly effect" as a GM.

 

Williams is going to be the starting SS, btw

[MDH]

Ugh. That kills this D. Just kills it. He's the only CB on the roster worth a damn.

[Clockwork]

Nooooooooooo. We're dooooooooooomed

[The Big Cat]

Well, ****.

[Big Turk]

Only good thing is 2 of those weeks are before the season starts...

[Mango]

Jesus Christ. Look for Aaron Williams to leave the safety position now

[KOKBILLS]

Outside of losing Manuel I'm not sure there was a single player the Bills could least afford to lose for any stretch of time...Just lost our top player from arguably the position of least depth...This is about as bad as news can get outside of Gilmore being gone for the season...

 

I understand injuries happen all over the NFL...But good grief this team is due for a break and they continuously get none...I'm shaking my head and staring into space right now...I can't believe the luck of this team...If it was not for bad, they would have none at all...

[billsgpr88]

oh jeez, now mckelvin is our #1 corner. based on what I saw against washington, that is some terrible news

[K-9]

Not for nothing, the best player on our defense was injured by the backup safety, who was out of position and launched himself into Gilmore while trying to make a stop. That backup safety is playing because the Bills decided to play financial hardball with the starter, who happens to be the second-best player on the defense.

 

Yes some franchises are unlucky, but some franchises create their own bad luck.

 

Oh no, that was PLENTY of nothing. Perhaps the worst game of connect the dots since Tim Graham invented the concept. Well done.

 

GO BILLS!!!

[NoSaint]

oh jeez, now mckelvin is our #1 corner. based on what I saw against washington, that is some terrible news

 

yea - and likely takes him off any return duties.

[Don't stop billievein]

We can keep an eye on this and hope someone has an abundance of CB's

So this is what shock feels like...

Well, please excuse me while I continue to swear and drink in equal measure.

[MOFO]

I'm hoping he makes it back in 4-5 weeks...with a big ole cast...please god....

[YoloinOhio]

Per Fox Sports, it says 6-8 weeks. If true, optimistically he is out for 1st 4 games.
