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

Well, 3 of those guys play offense.

Trade deadline is November 1. The way I see it, Jaquan Johnson gets a 4 game audition to prove he's ready to be the future at safety. If he fails his audition we make a move.

The only way we weren’t walking our way to the Super Bowl was injuries. 
 

*****.

Speedy recovery to Hyde, and next man up.  The last thing we need is to end up like the Colts of years passed, trotting out the ghost of Bob Sanders to keep their D viable.

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

you and me both dude. 
 

Big blow but the front 7 is stout, the line is deep and at the offense can’t be stopped. No time to fret. This is still our year.

That said I think Benford could add depth at safety when Tre returns 

 

I was thinking this too but his athletic profile to me seems more like a Poyer replacement than a Hyde replacement. Either way we have the best secondary coaching in the league. They'll figure it out.

Well, it seems the football gods are starting the work to make sure Buffalo never wins a SB.  That’s what it feels like.  There’s no stopping this club… except for massive injuries to important people.

Well, it was a fun year while it lasted.

 

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

Guess that means there’s no reason for you to post the rest of the season

[Taro Nimbus]

You all need to calm the hell down.  The Bills will be fine without Hyde.  

[Big Turk]

Damn ..knew it was bad...wonder if this is career threatening as stated upthread

[Big Blitz]

Have to make a trade.   

 

 

Of course you can't right now because we still have 15 weeks of other injuries that are inevitable 

 

Nice work injury thread post guy

Safety is one of the positions we could afford to have this happen. Johnson is no slouch and McDermott is a DB whisperer.

[Pabstblueribbon]

This sucks. I wonder if this is it and he decides to retire? I hope he gets well and can return next year.

As I said in the offseason, the full import of “13 Seconds” would only be realized if we don’t get that close again.  The Bills had a red carpet laid out for them last season and the coaches screwed it up. Losing Hyde is manageable but they can’t afford too many more.

Good news - Not career ending like many speculated. 

How can you say that at this point? I would think there's a high chance he could end up retiring from this. He'll be 32 in a couple months and this is not a minor injury.

Bummer news. Get well soon Micah!

 

Early hot take.. with both Benford and Elam getting so much playing time early in the season and looking pretty good and with Tre coming back from injury in a few weeks any chance any of them can make the conversion from corner to Free Safety? I believe it is not unheard of for corners to convert to safeties later in their careers. As good as Tre is I'm not sure he has the build for a safety. I'm also mostly intrigued because I hate to have one of Benford or Elam on the bench when Tre comes back when they are playing so well.

 

But first lets see how Jaquan Johnson plays. His time to step up. And he will have a great supporting cast around him.

I agree. Given age and where the injury is, regardless of severity, we may have seen the last of Micah on the field for the Bills.

Who’s going to return all of the opposing teams onside kicks
