Micah to IR (out for the year per his agent)

Figured something like this would happen the second I saw the post reveling in our ability to stay healthy.  The inevitable

Where does Hyde rank on the top 5 most irreplaceable players on the Bills defense?

That was my first thought SC!

Honestly, if tis makes any sense to any of you...this has been one of the worst victory weeks in memory.

 

What in the world could it be if he is shutting down for he season?

 

...best safety in the game.  My goodness.

Get well soon Micah.

 

I wonder if it was similar to the neck injury suffered by David Pollack.

[Shaw66]

Obviously, bad news.  I've always thought Micah is the anchor to the defense.  

 

Bills have had had great injury luck over the past few years.   Tre's injury was the beginning of that pendulum swinging the other way. 

 

The silver lining is that this has happened so early in the season.  Assuming Tre comes back healthy and the Bills don't lose anyone else, by December the Bills will have a solid defensive backfield, with Tre, Taron, and the best of Jackson, Elam, and Benford at corner and Poyer and the best of Jackson and Hamlin at safety.   The youngsters now have a couple of months to grow up in the league.  The talent and the coaching is there to be solid by the time the games really matter.

6 out of 11 starters out on Sunday is 1 player? Ok then. Who knows when those guys come back? 

The other guys have ankle sprains and hamstring pulls… calm down.

He doesn’t? He’s a great player and leader and captain. But this is the top 5

Should we start thinking about a trade? next man up only goes so far. we need DB depth at the least if not 1 starting DB

[BeavercreekBillsFan]

Every time I think we deserve this and we will finally win it, the football gods kick me in the nuts.

[Big Blitz]

Best team we have ever put together and it won't play 1 full game together 

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Johnson or Hamlin is next man up? I’m assuming Johnson.

Yeah, that’s as classless as it gets. If karma is a real thing, Mac Jones should be weary.

Probably going to bring in another depth piece at safety.  Johnson will be fine 

[Taro Nimbus]

Hamlin will shine!

[Einstein]

Well, it was a fun year while it lasted.

 

Thank you Brandon Beane for shoring up the defensive backfield this secondary.

We shall find out.  
 

That being said… we’re a very different defense now, compared to years past. 
 

Years past, our heart was the secondary… now, if the first two games are any indication … it’s the front line domination with our DL and LB’s. 
 

In terms of where we could lose a guy and still have a guy ready to step in… it’s at Safety with Jaquan Johnson.

Damn it. Injuries are the only thing that can derail the team this year.

 

We’ve had more than our share. The last few years we’ve been fortunate, it seems.

They need to add a safety but don’t need to make a trade imo. They don’t have a safety on the PS. In fact it was the only position they did not add at all in the off-season. That said I think Benford could add depth at safety when Tre returns
