Why?

 

seems like it’s rare a player misses just 1 week with a hamstring injury.

Too bad that a "consensus" of opinion by Bills fans doesn't guarantee a win

There was a time when "consensus" and a dime would get you a cup of coffee.  Now it takes "consensus" and a couple bucks, more if you go to Starbucks.

Yeah that’s there too. I wonder why they don’t jets sweep Foster or Brown.  They’re the fastest right? 

 

Mariota is another QB I think our guy is passing or has passed. He’s looked aweful. 

 

Foster and Brown aren't as dynamic/elusive with the ball in their hands as McKenzie.

I'm sure a healthy dose of Gore, with some Yeldon, and some motion shenanigans with McKenzie will be fine for a week. 

This is the recipe - add a few Josh runs and it will be all good.  I hope?.

[Estro]

Singletary is a big loss.  He's been a huge boost to the offense.  I wouldn't be all that surprised if his hammy turns into a multiple week injury.  Rushing back from a pulled hamstring too soon increases the chance of reoccurence and with only 2 more games until the Bill bye the smart move might be to keep him on the shelf until after the bye.

Fair point. Straight line speed vs shake and bake. 

 

Would like to see Roberts a la C. Patterson once that quad is good

they'll have both singletary and kroft next week, hopefully.

I'm waiting for Kroft to trip on the tarp and break a bone. Would love to see this guy get on the field and make an impact, but geez talk about injury prone.

that he is, they knew that bringing him in. even if he does come back, how long before he's out again? a drag really because when healthy he could really help JA in the passing game.

Rest him against the pats as well. The eye test tells me the Bills aren’t ready to beat them no matter what, so there’s no need to bring him back too soon for that game. 

 

If Devin's ready, PLAY HIM. It's a home game. We go in 3-0 and anything can happen. We just need to play a perfect defensive game. Hit and hurt. Don't back down in the trenches on O or D and make them pay hard for every yard. We need to send a message to NE that we defend our dirt and no one comes in here and kicks us around. Rattle Brady enough and he's a little b!tch. He'll cry to the refs, deflate a ball, roll over and play dead to get a flag.  But constant harassment and he's not the same QB.  

 

The one thing we've done really well is bat balls down. Get the hands up, get the pressure on, smother the little old f"ker like hot sauce on a wing, then eat him up.

It's called being smart.

...so is Roberts still out?.....

[Prickly Pete]

I will be very interested to see how Gore does this week.

 

I think he will suck, though if they get ahead, might pad his stats while they kill the clock.

If he is ready to go, I think that is a terrible idea.

 

That is a huge game to set the tone. Even if they lose, they need to be competive, as well as get a true measure of themselves against the the Patriots.

 

Conceding games to the Patriots....I hate all this "playing scared", WTF. It's terrible approach to football.

Interested to see how Yeldon is used.   He’s not the runner Singletary is, but he provides the dimension of being one of the best receiving backs in the league.  

Wouldnt be suprised if yeldon to has more catches than carries 

[Utah John]

The Bills injury report has four players on it.  Three are out but all have injuries that should be short term.  One is questionable.

 

This seems like a miraculously short list.  Here's hoping the Bill's good fortune carries forward.

If he is healthy he needs to play.  Why surrender?  If scared of Pats, play Barkley.

My concern is that he will come back too soon and hurt himself even worse. It would add insult to injury if it happened in a loss. 

[ganesh]

It is a shame he will miss the Season Opener.  That place will be electric and rocking 

[Buddo]

I just want him to be 100% whenever he returns - even if it means missing the Cheaters  game as well. The kid looks like a future player and we don’t need to hurry him back unnecessarily.
