Per Joe Buscaglia, Tremaine isn't practicing today. While McKenzie is practicing, without the non-contact jersey.

 

Very likely Tremaine is out, but good news on Isaih looking like he will play.

 

Depth chart has Dodson listed as MLB backup, but interestingly Cam Lewis is listed as Poyers backup....that can't be right?

 

I'd have to go back and look at the box scores, but I think last season Hamlin subbed for Hyde and Johnson subbed for Poyer.

Johnson certainly subbed for him in the MIA loss.

 

Also, when we've gone to a 4-3 base, seems like it was Bernard and not Dodson who came in (except on that goal line D vs the Ravens).  So good question is it Bernard or Dodson who will play if Edmunds can't go against the Steelers?

Good catch. That’s definitely new. Bills didn’t like Joquan Johnson much it seems.

People still crying about OJ Howard?  1.25 catches a game.  He's JAG get over it.

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.

did McDermott mention anything about what the frig is going on with Tre White?

Yes.  He’s recovering from a torn ACL and isn’t ready to practice yet

I dunno about that, but what's pertinent I think, is that he was being worked-out just before the Ravens game by the Bills head trainer.  So if he was a game-time decision last week, seems like a good chance he'll be a "go" this week.

One more time.  OBJ tore his ACL mid-feb (Feb 13).  The usual timeline is surgery in 2 weeks, then 9 months rehab, then several weeks of practice to get in "game shape".  That puts him ready to practice at the end of Nov and ready for a game in mid-December.  The Bills need a roster to carry them through 8-9 games before then, plus they can only return 8 guys from IR.

We're not crying about OJ Howard per se, we're crying that Knox has been ruled out and the Bills TE will be Morris and Sweeney.

It makes sense to sign him sooner rather than later to familiarize himself with the team and playbook

They need Knox to be healthy for KC, with the #1 seed on the line.  If we need a healthy Knox to beat the Steelers, we are in trouble.  Can't take the Steelers lightly, but the Bills without Knox is no big deal for a team where you have a talent advantage.

Cam Lewis was being cross trained at safety during training camp so it appears they may be ready to see how he does in live game action.

The issue is where do we want to play kc at...in kc where they have beaten us 2 yrs in a row in the playoffs or in Buffalo infront of the Mafia?..not to mention the refs in kc are certainly swayed to favor no calls on allot of holds against the home team

It feels like we haven't played KC in Buffalo for 100 years.  This scheduling nonsense better flip soon.

[Big Blitz]

So Edmonds is good to go.

Gilliam can and probably will be used in a TE role at times.

Definitely adds some speed back there.

We are absolutely a joke as a fandom if we can't rationally and reasonably believe that losing at least 2 guys every single game so far this season to man games lost, while simultaneously losing important players during the week's practice is not going to have an effect on the outcome of these games, even when we are playing poorer opponents.

 

It's ridiculous.  

 

Please know I am not on any of you guys, really, as I am just more and more upset with our present situation.  I believed this to be one of the great teams in Bills history, which means little if weekly and perpetually, less and less of this Bills team actually plays in these games.
