Feels like 3 years of injury luck coming back to bite in one go. Not feeling super positive right now to be honest. 

 

Not even sure who will be back this week? Morse, maybe? Spencer Brown (though he was bad anyway)? Ed Oliver possibly? And hopefully Poyer? Gabe and Dawson will continue to hobble around out there when they really need to sit. Hopefully Diggs is okay. 

 

 

In all seriousness I would sit Gabe and Dawson and get them healthy we kept Maurice for a reason and we do have other wide receivers play the healthy ones

Based on the Bills allowing 212 yards of offense and forcing 5 punts?  

 

Hard to see how that equates to Johnson being poor.  

D was not awful or even bad. But did give up TD's on 3 of 7 drives, 8 counting the last one when MIA was running clock. They generated no turnovers, gave up some big plays, 3 for 3 giving up TD's in red-zone. That is decent but not up to our standards. This could have been a game you keep your opponent in the single digits.

Milano had an easy pick 6 by fooling Tua into throwing that ball. The defensive scheme set him up for an easy play, he just didn't make it.  I mean 3rd and 22 you just can't give up a 45 yard play deep down the middle in a coverage that is designed to prevent it. That kind of stuff just needs real game experience to get right. Probably going to happen more than we have seen since Poyer and Hyde have been there and we are just going to have to accept it.

I tend to agree here. If a week off gets them to 100% that’s the route to go.

Better to have it early in the year than late.   White will be back in two weeks, and hopefully they get Dane Jackson back soon as well.

White will probably NOT be back in two weeks.  He will be able to start practices but it will take a couple weeks to get ready

And we would have imo, if we had Ed, Phillips and Poyer.  
 

our D had nothing to do with this loss.

So many guys have been getting hurt that it seems like the sky is falling - but most of these (outside of Hyde, of course) aren't very serious, and it seems like all of the guys who are currently hurt won't be out for any length of time.

 

Now, we just have to use some spit & glue to try to get through the Ravens game.
