JohnBonhamRocks Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Edited my prior post to mention it, but what do people make of McVay sitting his starters in preseason and winning the Super Bowl? Editing this post to include an article from last year: (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32011689/los-angeles-rams-again-rest-all-starters-preseason-games?platform=amp) He treats training camp scrimmages as a type of preseason and uses preseason games as more of a roster cutdown analysis tool.

I don’t think one correlates to the other. Each team needs to do what they need to best prepare themselves for the season and there are too many variables between teams to recommend the same thing for everyone based on individual results 5 2 1 Quote

I am guessing with the third preseason game down in Carolina this year they are getting the starters in for the home fans. That shouldn’t be a factor in the decision. 2 Quote

They're grown ass men with some of the best sports science doctors/trainers in the entire world. The Bills know what they're doing. far be it for the Bills to have confidence in their state of the art training facilities and trainers. Lets put Josh Allen in bubble wrap and see how that works to pacify the but he might get hurt" crowd. ....not only do I consider it bad karma I dont think it is based in logic or most NFL teams preseason practices.

Hyde, Poyer, Brown, Crowder, Settle all have some form of ding from practice. Exactly, this incessant pearl clutching is just asinine, become a pickle ball fan if this is to much for you, Go Bills!!! 1 Quote

TFBillsfan Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) I would expect the offensive starters will be focused on the run game and a lot of quick passes. I would also expect to see the 2nd tier WR’s sprinkled in to see how they perform with Josh. Great opportunity for OJ Howard with Knox most likely not playing.

I will have a basic fit if they trot Hart anywhere near the line Josh Allen is playing behind. Unless he has majorly upped his game from last season. Dude was on skates it was really Really bad from what I can remember Quote
