BrainwashedBillsFan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I was hoping Rapp would be back. I believe he contributed a bunch in the first game shadowing Kelce. I could be wrong Quote
Brand J Posted January 19 Posted January 19 How sweet it would’ve been if Dorian Williams would’ve been allowed to grow this year. McD doesn’t trust he knows what to do on the field so he’s behind both Spector and Klein. I’d have to believe a crash course in experience (and mistakes) would’ve molded him into a pretty good starter. 1 2 Quote
Mango Posted January 19 Posted January 19 59 minutes ago, Wayne Arnold said: Taron Johnson playing is huge. Bernard has been excellent this season but I'm confident that Dodson and a combo of Klein/Williams can fill the LB roles just fine. I'm confident the defense can play at a high level regardless of the injuries. Game comes down to how the OLine plays vs. the Chiefs defensive front and if McDermott can limit his game management gaffes. We will find out soon enough. The vibe I get from people smarter than me is that Klein is a good downhill player with very good instincts. However struggles with some explosiveness, lateral movement, and in coverage. And that Williams is good athlete, and good LB, but struggles some with instincts and play recognition. All that to say, these guys skill sets can compliment each other well if they can find a groove/partnership early and figure out how to move with each other. But if they don’t they could find themselves taken advantage of early and often. 2 1 Quote

THIS. I expect Bernard is out. I also fear Taron and Dodson are big questions and most likely out. If any of the 3 play they will be limited and not 100%. Let's go Klein and Rasul! We need them. I sure hope I'm wrong but the way McD didn't mention Dodson or Taron worries me. Watch that video of Bernard stretching. He can barely stretch his left leg... almost falls off balance one stretch to the left leg. He ain't playing. Quote

I can’t believe the Bills didn’t allow Williams any playing time (even though they did) to let him blossom. Edited January 19 by Beast 1 Quote

If you’d asked people their opinion of Bernard last year at this time, you would have heard something similar. 1 Quote

He did good enough last game and absolutely wrecked a guy, knocked him out of the game. I have faith in him this week. The experience he got at the beginning of the year and then sitting back, observing, growing is still valuable. The defense for a four week period was pretty rough sledding (soon after the injuries and Dorian playing), they had to adjust. Really can’t second guess the turn around, winning the division, and earning the number two seed. 1 Quote

Martin was named AFC player of the month for the last 4 weeks of the season. He’s been very good for us as of late. I don’t think Fournette will be the tipping point this week. Quote

I’m not suggesting you’re not seeing what you say you’re seeing in that video, but I don’t see that at all , doesn’t mean he’ll play but that video shows me zero evidence that he isn’t playing. 1 Quote

Martin has been outstanding the 2nd half of the year. Multiple kicks inside the 20, important because the Bills don’t have a ton of 3 and outs. 2 1 Quote

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Elam might be able to man up Kelce and keep him from catch the ball? Quote
TFBillsfan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Was hopeful Rapp, Benford, Baylor and Gabe might be able to go. Not expecting Bernard back. Let’s pray Rasul isn’t limited and that Taron is able to go! With all the injuries on the D, the Brady led offense is going to have to win and put up lots of points against KC’s spags D to get the win. Bills need to play with the lead out of the gate! KC’s offense has a bigger advantage against our D with the injuries and I would also give their ST the advantage. Quote

He’s in concussion protocol…if he clears he’s full go. Quote

transplantbillsfan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 How is it possible Bernard might play????? Quote
Budkin Posted January 19 Posted January 19 These injuries really suck but we've been fighting against them all season. Gonna be tough but we can still win this game. GO BILLS! Quote
