wow, Bills still in flux.

 

One thing i have noticed, and check me here 26. Haven't the Bills moved more players onto the PS suad and then off etc than most years? Seems like Pro scouting is a beehive of activity this year. Although few if any have been brought up, seems the FO is looking hard all the time

Your perception seems valid, although I think it may have more to do with the increase in practice squad size starting last year (Or maybe it was 2014?)

 

Edit: Hmm, it looks like the NFL and NFLPA agreed to expand PS from 8 players to 10 players before 2014. They had to re-agree before this season: http://www.sbnation.com/2016/9/3/12773904/nfl-practice-squad-players-roster-rules-eligibility-primer

 

I seem to recall it was only six players, not too long ago.

Robey-Coleman told Rodak he's been benched for Seymour.

Robey-Coleman told Rodak he's been benched for Seymour.

 

I get that Robey can't beat anyone in a jump ball scenario, but he seemed to be having a good season overall. Got caught against Gronk and Graham in back-to-back weeks but the Graham TD in particular was just a phenomenal play by Jimmy. But hey, we'll see what happens.

[Sandy McFiddish]

Robey is definitely a gamer can't have him on those huge tight ends, then again I have no clue what goes on at practice and if Seymour can cover big targets better

I was thinking there is a great deal of shuffling. Started last year. I felt it was a change in scouting methods and Coachs that wanted to get plenty of players in for looks. But as you mentioned, there my be little validity to my perception.

ya gotta link this E

 

I can see it though.

 

see what i did there?

I think its gotta be a game to game matchup, or situational. Robey is still a very good and smart player

With Eric Wood down, Ryan Groy looks like next man up; Seantrel Henderson nearing return from Crohn's Disease #bills http://buffalonews.com/2016/11/16/bills-eric-wood-ryan-groy-looks-like-next-man-seantrel-henderson-nearing-return/

McCoy: I know Sammy’s close

Bills RB LeSean McCoy knows that the Bills margin for error with a 4-5 record is thin. Subpar performances can’t happen the rest of the way. McCoy says the team has done a good job of sticking to the ‘one game at a time approach.’ He’s hoping they can come off the bye with a solid performance, get a road win and then hopefully get their top receiver back in the lineup.

 

Dareus, Tate, Woods among limited Bills

Bills head coach Rex Ryan said his team is the healthiest it’s been in a while and he’s got an injury report to prove it. Only DT Corbin Bryant was unable to practice Wednesday. A handful of players were limited.

The only real question mark for Sunday’s game among the limited participants is DT Marcell Dareus, who is still working his way back from a groin injury.

 

Dalton, Eifert, LaFell all limited for Bengals

Coming off a Monday night game, it’s probably not surprising to see a handful of players take only limited reps in practice Wednesday. They’re less than 48 hours removed from their last game. QB Andy Dalton, TE Tyler Eifert and WR Brandon LaFell were among the Bengals cutting back on their practice participation Wednesday.

 

What’s interesting about Dalton is he’s listed with a right shoulder injury, which is his throwing shoulder.

I for one like that jobs are up for grabs mid season. We aren't winning so why should we be complacent. Practice how u play

ESPN: Insider Roundtable

Insiders: Bengals should be on upset alert

A pair of our experts took the Bills, who are 3.5-point underdogs, over the Bengals as their upset pick of the week. Matt Bowen notes the Bills' defense could thrive versus Andy Dalton & Co.

 

ESPN: Playoff Odds (Insider)

Bills unlikely to end playoff drought

FPI and Football Outsiders both see Buffalo as a good team, but there's a ton of ground to make up in the wild-card race. As Aaron Schatz notes, the Bills might wind up playing spoiler

Groy was eaten alive against the Seahwaks. Hopefully he's made big strides...

Is it going to be Groy or will it be Lewis?

[nucci]

Shocking that Dareus may not play

[MAJBobby]

Looks like Tate is returning kicks today so guessing he is off concussion protocol and likely plays.

Brandon Tate, who's been in concussion protocol, is returning kicks with the first unit. Good sign for him.
