Roster Health

[TFBillsfan]

With the exception of Smoot, it’s trending the Bills will have all their injured players back within the next two weeks. Speaking of Smoot, is there any timeframe on his return? Getting Smoot and Carter back should help the DL.

 

Right now, I’d slow roll the return of Kincaid and Coleman until they are 100%.  Hopefully Milano is much better against the Rams after knocking off some rust! 

It will be interesting how McDermott manages the playing time down the stretch.  The Bills really have a deep roster. Great problem to have!

 

LETS GO BUFFALO!

I'm all for some load management as best they can.  Having your main core guys healthy for the playoffs means everything.

And the 2 guys they brought in to help the D line are doing pretty well filling in, probably in part because they've been here before & know the scheme . Jordan (edit) Phillips has always been a favorite of mine and he is healthy & a very big man which is welcome in the middle of our D .

 

I hope he can stick when the guys come back healthy in case they need him in this run, I may just go get one of his jerseys to add to my collection because he is a team guy & loves Bills football & being a part of this team . Plus he has that underdog mentality constantly pumping up the Bills Mafia !!

Will the Football gods shine a favorable light on us????

Will we be able to make the most of it????

These are the continuing stories of The Days of our Bills Fans lives.

I’m not a rest before the playoffs guy. I want them healthy but I also want them playing their best football.

 

I would love to get the 1 seed though.

They rotate the DL a bunch, are three RB's deep, 4 TE's deep, and have a bunch of WR's that Allen trusts. Just gotta cross our fingers they stay healthy enough and don't get decimated at one position.

 

I was surprised the played Milano so much, I thought sure they'd rotate him a bit. He must be looking good in practice and be in good shape already. I'll give him a pass considering the snow for his performance.

I think you mean Jordan Phillips.

Getting a healthy and productive Kincaid back would be nice.

[Back2Buff]

I thought one of those twitter Docs said its probably a 3-6 month injury for Smoot.  He also has put his house on the market so I think his time in Buffalo may be done.

I agree that roster health is important but I also think humming on all cylinders going into the playoffs is just as if not more important. Glad to hear that Allen's "hand" injury last night was more just a funny bone thing and he'll be fine. We need to get Milano back to speed especially if he's going to take all of the reps from Dorian Williams and getting our pass catchers going. I wouldn't be opposed to Coleman and Kincaid sitting until the Detroit game as I think we can win against LA without them.

He had wrist surgery and was placed on IR following the 2nd Miami game.  He has to miss 4 games before he returns if he physically can return.

I think Coleman will be back next week.  It seemed like he could have gone this week if the conditions weren’t risky.

If we can go into the post season with a healthy roster, ain't no one's stopping us.

I am a rest players type of guy, but in my world sitting the starters in the 4th quarter is enough rest.  So last night was perfection in my book.

I hope this is not the case as he was playing very well. I’m hopeful he’ll be back by the end of December for the stretch run.

Hopefully we can come out of next week with out injuries.

Wrong LA team. We play the Rams next week. And they are softer than Puka's hair.

'Roster Health'.

🤔

Sounds like some cut rate health insurance provider, playing off the fans' affinity for football.  More than likely has Russ Brandon on the board of directors. 🤨
