PlayoffsPlease Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Will the Bills dress 3 QBs against the Colts?
The Dean Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) No. (That's my best guess.) Edited September 9, 2015 by The Dean
BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 What are the protocols on dressing QB's 1 & 3, but not 2?
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 Whose the odd man out if they only dress two?
1billsfan Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Will the Bills dress 3 QBs against the Colts? Geez, that's a great question! What if the Bills are down three TDs at halftime and Taylor's out of the game with an injury at the end of the first half? I don't think there's anyone here (EJ haters included) who'd want Rex to send in Cassel over Manuel in that scenario. You have to have a QB that can throw the ball deep to even have a shot at pulling off the win in the second half.
The Dean Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Whose the odd man out if they only dress two? According to everything I have read today, TT starts and Cassel is #2. Makes a bit of sense to me. The real tough question (which I doubt Rex would answer) is, if TT is unavailable for a period of time, who would get the starting nod. My believe, and my hope, is it would be EJ. IMO, Cassel simply makes a safer, and more practical, gameday #2.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) If I recall the rules correctly, your #3 QB dresses but doesn't count toward the active roster. He can play only if #1 and #2 are injured. Edited September 9, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
r00tabaga Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I think Cassel should be the backup QB for either #5 or #3. I don't want him starting but I like having a solid vet as #2.
The Dean Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) If I recall the rules correctly, your #3 QB dresses but doesn't count toward the active roster. He can play only if #1 and #2 are injured. That used to be the rule. They stopped that in 2012 (I think), but expanded the game day roster to 46. If there was another change this offseason, I am unaware. Edited September 9, 2015 by The Dean
Whites Bay Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Not meaning to be cute, but - ASIDE from the lucky shot - does Indy really have anyone that is going to overpower the O-Line enough that this is going to be a real problem? We're not talking J.J. Watt, or, you know, the Bills. The odds of Taylor making it through the game in one piece are actually pretty good here. Going up against Luck, I'd just as soon make sure the Bills have an extra LB, safety or CB.
vincec Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 No. EJ is out of the picture for now. Limited reps during the week and in street clothes on game day.
Manther Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) 2 QBs on game day. TT starting and Cassel. If TT goes down and can't start the following week EJ will start and Cassel will back up. JMO. Edited September 9, 2015 by Manther
PromoTheRobot Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 No. EJ is out of the picture for now. Limited reps during the week and in street clothes on game day. Uh, no. EJ will dress as the #3 QB.
vincec Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Uh, no. EJ will dress as the #3 QB. How many teams dressed 3 QBs last season?
The Dean Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Uh, no. EJ will dress as the #3 QB. I doubt it, but it is possible. Typically only 2 QBs dress these past few years.
FireChan Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Geez, that's a great question!

BringBackOrton Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Whose the odd man out if they only dress two? Well seeing as TT is starting and Cassel was named #2 today. I got $1k on it being EJ to sit.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 How many teams dressed 3 QBs last season? Again, I thought the #3 guy dresses but only plays in an emergency.
