Does it really matter? If they can't beat the Jags without them, they probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference.

The O-Line was pretty bad without Brown last week so it makes a difference

Cole Beasley (ribs), Jordan Poyer (shoulder) and Spencer Brown (back) are expected to practice on Friday according to McDermott. Their game status designations will be announced later in the afternoon.

 

So stay tuned on the latter

Feliciano is out and not Brown(as of yet)

Put Boettger in at G over Ford. I think Ford & Feliciano get released next year.

Thank you @Hapless Bills Fan for the correction!

We have Allen, and he makes up for a lot of that.

This past offseason Ford was rehabbing an injury. I’m not prepared to totally close the book on him, even though chances are slim he’ll become another Wyatt Teller, but barring injury he should have an entire offseason to work on his body. And there’s a lot of work that needs to be done there.

Boettger is already gonna be playing if Feliciano is out at LG.

The question is who plays RG if Brown can't go and Williams is playing LT.

 

Ford?  Bates?

The whole idea of not making moves at guard was that Ford had THIS offseason to work on his body and not rehab an injury.  He got shut down Week 9 after he tore his meniscus, and had surgery pretty much right away, so by the off-season he should have been ready to go.

The Bills are finally going to get to see the player they thought they selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft because to this point, Ford said they, “Definitely have not seen it.”

I’m gonna guess if there are any doubts on guys their not playing this week. They should win regardless tbh. Ik any given Sunday but cmon even down a Tackle , Guard , WR, SAF we should win

Joe B. reported that Brown wasn't present during the open portion of practice. Likely not a god sign for his availability on Sunday.

[Royale with Cheese]

I wonder if Feliciano has started his last game for the Bills?

[Scott7975]

One would like to think that Feliciano being out isn't a big loss... but then there is Ford.  Sigh, who knows.  Maybe sitting on the bench did him some good.

Yeah - he is out. Guessing they go Dawkins, Boettger, Morse, Ford, Williams

Would posting fake news be considered rabble rousing?

If Ford can't crack the starting line up this week, he has zero hope.

That is for sure. And if he does and sucks then he also has zero hope.

Based solely off what McD said earlier this week I have to think it's Ford over Bates. The way he said Ford went "back to the drawing board" and McD has said many times he still has confidence in Ford. I know McD doesn't throw players under the bus, however he could have also said a lot less.

OH NO!

 

(checks opponent)

 

Anyways...

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Luckily there isn’t a massive drop off from Mongo to Ike, pass blocking might improve

To be honest based on performance this season it is a wash. I am not ecstatic about the prospect of Ford on the field. He might yet not need to be if Brown makes it and they can nudge Williams back inside. I am kinda done with slimmed down Feliciano though at this stage. 

A triple cheeseburger never hurt anyone, amirite?
