LabattBlue Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I didn’t know a player could get hurt on a play where he whiffed so badly. 😱

SCBills Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 When the DL can’t stop anything, it’s no wonder we have the walking wounded at linebacker now. That unit is truly destroying the entire team. No run stopping ability and the linebackers are in the line of fire every play. Edmunds has been hurt all year. Milano is missing multiple games. Dodson hurt again. No pass rushing ability and our secondary has to cover for an eternity. Just a gross collection of players up front. 2

Hindsight is 20/20, but I would rather have Phillips and Lawson over Jefferson, Butler, and Addison. 2
thebandit27 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 If Mongo can come back that’d be huge. Roll out Spain at LG and Mongo at RG. Winters and Ford have been atrocious. 3 1

Winters and Ford have been atrocious. I have to agree with this, William at RT would be an upgrade over Ford’s play last year as well. In theory, we’d see a better line than last year. Dodson and Lewis is tough to absorb given they are backups playing for injured starters. Edited October 20, 2020 by atlbillsfan1975 2

Losing Jordan & Star and replacing them with Butler & Jefferson is useless. And obviously Ed needs Star more than we ever thought. The play of the DL has made every LB/DB look terrible. Complete trickle down. 4
gordong Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 none of these guys move the needle anyway.. Ford doesn't seem to be able to run block worth a damn.

Complete trickle down. My God the re gurgitating of the star is the reason narrative is starting to get old. People are just spitting out a popular board take at this point and honestly who knows if he would even make a difference.

Addison is on schedule for 8-10 sacks which few here thought he would reach. That's fine IMO. Butler and Jefferson have obviously been expensive duds. Phillips got $30 mill over 4 years but his cap hit next year is $12, so it would have been tough. Lawson is solid (better than Murphy and Hughes) but not an elite rusher.

They are promising fringe players. Ford is a starting guard but he's not lived up to his dominant billing from the draft. I think Spain is fine. I hope that they can accept that the Winters signing hasn't worked and relegate him to depth. 1
BITE ME Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Injuries are a major factor with the Bills. It happens without a real training camp. They bye week is perfectly situated. They get to 7-3 and get healthy over the bye week and they can make the playoff push with a healthy team. I think there are going to be a lot of injuries early on just due to conditioning.
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Could very well be an ACL for Ford, we'll see

Unfortunately, that's true this morning. Plus Star. The defensive line last season could stand it's ground. Not this season. 2

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 At this point the entire defense is a mess. People want edmunds benched... but milano and dodson are banged up so... not sure who you want to put in. Klein - same thing. Dline - they did bench guys, the new guys didn't do much either. Nickel CB is a struggle. Norman made a nice play, but lets not forget how absolutely toasted he got the week before. The safeties aren't playing as well either. Poyer has to make a play on that ball to kelce - not sure if he was worried about him breaking in on a post. I wouldn't blame white there as it seemed like cover 2 so he has the crosser in front. He bails for kelce and the crosser probably walks in anyway.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Passing without comment on the network (SHAMEFUL!) and I haven't seen mentioned here. Cody Ford was injured on the failed 4th and 1 conversion at the start of the 4th Q. I saw him being attended to on the field and in the glimpse the network allowed us, it appeared to me they were focused on his knee. "Return doubtful". Any information? He takes a lot of hate here but he would be a big, big loss to our OL
