Guys not playing because of soreness is pitiful.  

 

I can't stand how conservative McDermott is with injuries.  Burned us big time in Miami with the botched snap.  

Poyer has the Elbow that is still not fully healed. He also has a foot and now I'm guessing badly bruised ribs?    Knox has back/foot/hamstring

This is really interesting.

 

Before doing so?

 

What kind of move you have to do before you move someone to IR? Sound very confusing to me. Unless he really means to have some pre-agreed trade.

The most likely scenario is signing someone from the PS to the active roster. Likely Hodgins, or possibly Duke Johnson.  As someone suggested, waiting to do this gives the Steelers no chance to plan for it.

Well, this is fun

IR for 4 games, sure.  

 

Hello?  This is your calendar calling.  The Bills will play 8 or 9 games between now, and early/mid December when OBJ will be ready to contribute (and keep in mind he would need a couple weeks to practice with Josh)

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

At least Phillips and Oliver are back?

[CaliBills]

I have a feeling Poyer being out is cautionary.  

 

he would play if it was KC or playoffs.

Unclear as of yet.  My guess would be Oliver yes, Phillips no.

This might have been a great week for Poyer to add to his INTs. Pickett's going to throw some up

I'd like to see how a white helmet, blue jersey, red pants would look 

CFLish.  SMUish at best

[Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD]

Losing Poyer hurts. I feel like he would have had another multiple interception game against Pickett.

[Warriorspikes51]

Buffalo Bills Official PR  "Rounding Up The Heard" post for the game mentions how Poyer can make it 5 int's in first 5 games of a season......
 

yet Sean ruled him Out?

The injuries are really piling up. I'll be glad when we make it to our Bye.

Pickett doesn't have the strongest arm

 

...and he has small hands.  The way our DL is flying around I expect to see some balls on the ground.  Footballs.

Bench Moss.  Duke is a good pass catching back so this would make sense 

and can return KOs

I would actually sit players against KC unless the Bills are nearly full-strength.  I don't see an offense where Davis is still hobbled and Knox is hobbled and they can't run the ball being able to keep up with KC.  Just find a way to beat the Steelers and let guys get healthy by sitting out the KC game that they would be long-shots to win anyway.

Pretty much under McDermott every time a player was LP or DNP all week they don’t play 

There is some truth to that, but they have never had this many players injured at the same time before.  He is being forced to take some chances with banged up players he would not normally take this early in the season.

KC is a playoff game that will likely decide the #1 seed and therefore homefield advantage. We have to throw everyone and the kitchen sink at KC. Rolling over for them now pretty much sandbags our SB run. Weak, dude. Weak.
