The bills played all of the hardest teams on their schedule in the first seven games. Not that there’s ever a perfect time for an injury but this is a good time to not have Poyer Because we've seen this before. The Bills have a game or two lead on the Chiefs at the Halfway point, only to be caught and passed as the Playoffs approach. Also, after this year could be a transition year with Hyde another year older, Poyer at the end of his contract, Edmunds at the end of his contract.

Nextmanup Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's worth remembering right now that Damar Hamlin has been extremely impressive, at least in my opinion. He was a captain at Pitt and this kid is a baller. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there’s ever a perfect time for an injury but this is a good time to not have Poyer With our aspirations, there is little margin for error. Sure, we will make the playoffs, but do we want to be playing another playoff game at Arrowhead? Our home field advantage in the playoffs is one of the best in the NFL. I posted a stat in here last night. The last 3 Bills teams to start the season 6-1 or better went to the Super Bowl. Pretty sure those teams hosted all their playoff games too. EDIT: It was last three Bills 6-1 teams apparently, not two(!) Edited October 31, 2022 by BobBelcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I see someone play better, I want them back. Same. Poyer was actually off to the best season start of his career. Guys like Beasley, his body was breaking down towards the end, but his performance had also declined. Not at all the case with Poyer… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strive_for_five_guy Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This is why waiting to activate Tre was the right move by the staff. If Poyer does need to spend some time on the IR, you can now activate Tre without having to bump someone else off the roster. Given the CBs seem healthy now and there are concerns about Jaquan back there, maybe this is where you test someone else like Benford. Also, any word on where Xavier Rhodes’ injury stands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a dumb thought, especailly when Edmunds is a pro bowl, captain, starting MLB for one of the best defenses in football. Must be a real bum. Then what about Andrew Wingard who played at Wyoming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyo321 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Poyer is not getting any younger and he has been the walking wounded this year. It is a big concern moving forward. Can you really say that this team can go deep in the playoffs without him playing and Micah out already?? I don't see it happening. We need an experienced safety at the trade deadline.

FilthyBeast Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's unfortunate that Poyer can't seem to stay on the field this season. But this is also why I'm 100% confident this is his last season is Buffalo. No way Beane is handing out big money to a guy safety on the wrong side of 30 that is starting to show his age in terms of durability. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgoodtime Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I find it suprising that some think Tre White returns and plays like nothing ever happened and like he played before. Its very possible he never returns to be the player he was, look at how long recovery has taken. I hope he does, but most players do not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantees, but it's WAY too early to be talking about that kind of drop-off in performance. Most of what makes a guy elite at that position is mental (in my opinion) and he hasn't lost any of that. I do think there will be a ramp-up time period when he comes back though...let's hope he's "back to normal" by the playoffs or at least the SB. (Yes, I'm trying to think positively here). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I’ll just go ahead and say it now. If worst fears are realized -as a “Pop” suggests- is it hard to imagine this season ending with a Super Bowl Championship WITHOUT our All-Pro Safety tandem for the majority of the season? No. Its impossible. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
