#11's aversion to contact and unwillingness to fight for yards is a bad look.  Cole is still getting open, but the lack of fight dampens the spirit, so I agree.

He’s playing with cracked ribs.

I saw a video breakdown of Bobby Hart starting for Tennessee against the Rams and after watching it I am excited to see Ford starting.

We all want to know…..if the “unacceptable” happens….for you at least….what exactly happens….Are you giving up? Burning your Bills gear? Renting a billboard on the 290? Picketing 1BD? Leaving the forum🙏🏽

I think this type of situation is where the Bills coaches earn their paycheck.  I have faith that after the Jax game they will make adjustments with this particular line-up.  Again, who knows if it will work but I would think they are firmly aware of the issues from Jax and probably have a plan to adjust (again, no guarantee it works but should be prepared).

Having very little of seeing what Bates, Doyle, or Douglas can do, it still might be the best option.  Very easy for us to condemn as we don't know what those three can or can't do, the team does.

 

Having said that, personally won't be at all disappointed to see a different starting five, but will understand if we don't.

I’m not sure why any of us expected to see a different starting offensive line. Ford was always going to be in there. If he wasn’t their top choice, they wouldn’t have gone with him for the Jacksonville or the Miami game.

Some have pondered whether this was just to prove that there was some value to him as a second round pick. I don’t think McDermott is that kind of coach.

[NickelCity]

Mind boggling that Bates at RT isn't the move.

Moving Daryl Williams back to RT is just as big of a concern to me. After looking pretty decent there last year, he COMPLETELY fell off a cliff. Moving him inside, he's been fine. Especially with Brown in the lineup. Moving him back outside in Brown's absence, he's been even worse than he was at the start of the year.

Eh, we've seen enough of Bates in action over the past couple years to think he's less of a liability out there then Ford, no?

Likely because he's the only backup center that's active.  There is a risk in playing him, and we don't know, he could be worse.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Just wanted to get this out of the way before the game starts: the refs are horrible, cheating and paid off, have fun.

 

go Bills !!!

This is the most defensible rationale, I'll admit.
