He's a rookie who's started one game and you are claiming he's the worst safety in the league? Doesn't seem ridiculous to you? Edited December 6 by Process 2 5 4 Quote

Fair enough. Curious how you’ve come to that conclusion on him playing a mere 148 snaps. 138, sorry. 1 Quote

Is this satire? How could anyone possibly know enough about Cole Bishop to label him the worst safety in the league? He played what, one game? And you've ruled him worst safety in the league? Seems a bit much. 42 minutes ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: I'm genuinely asking? Has there been a recent instance of a Bills player being limited all week in practice and then playing on Sunday? It seems like this staff likes to have at least one full practice in the books before they're willing to activate and play a guy. If I'm correct, then even though he hasn't yet ruled out Keon Coleman, I very much doubt that he plays. Edited December 6 by Logic Quote
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 6 Posted December 6 1 hour ago, RunTheBall said: It’s really weird. Josh can throw a beautiful over the shoulder touch pass to Knox or Cooper, but he has trouble hitting WRs when they are wide friggin open. He missed Diggs several times last year, MVS early this season, and Kincaid got injured due to an overthrow. Bizarre Yeah because we have no real speed outside and haven't for years. So, like CColeman, it's on Josh to place the ball correctly so it's not out too far in front. We've seen this with Kincaid. Gabe Davis ran a 4.54, Diggs ran a 4.46, John Brown (when he was 22 ran a 4.34), it's just not a deep list of fast guys on the Bills. 1 Quote

I guess that answers my question of "can anyone think of a recent example of a player being limited all week and then playing Sunday". Rapp it is. I guess I could change the question to "can anyone think of a recent example of a player being limited all week, having a 'questionable' designation', and playing on Sunday" 1 Quote

Matt_In_NH Posted December 6 Posted December 6 Carter and Grable both should come off IR if not Saturday by the following week, I bet they let that go this week to see what injuries pop up. But who are likely cuts if no on goes to IR? Clapp came off PS when Grable went out so it could be him but for a DT, it could be Phillips or Jefferson I guess but does not have to be. I heard Jalen Virgil had a two year deal and he is a 6th WR, I only see one year on Spotrac but he has been a gunner and doing well according to Joe Marino. The Numbers at DT probably mean that is where it will be. Quote

This will be Coleman's 4th game missed, if he misses it, so that's the "break even" point where we should have put him on IR (except that he has gotten to practice for 2 weeks). I kind of wonder if this might be gamesmanship 1 Quote

Doesn't seem ridiculous to you? I can only go off the game tape, and its ugly. It wasn't just the absolute horrible Nico TD, but he was abused in the run game too in Houston. Based on what he has shown in game tape this year, its bad. He can certainly get better, but I don't want to try that in a must win game vs a very strong WR group in Rams. Rapp is playing so it's a moot point now. Quote

Mcvay will see what San Fran was able to do and try to exploit that. With a returning Carter and Milano knocking off rust I think running will be harder than they anticipate. Heard from Greg Cosell on One Bills Live: McVay is genius at scheming the passing game against zone defense. Not disagreeing that pass defense is Buffalo's strength, but they still have to do it well and be good at disguising coverage. Hyde and Poyer were great at that. I don't know that Rapp and Hamlin are as good, but maybe they are good enough. Edited December 6 by BigAl2526 Quote
Beck Water Posted December 6 Posted December 6 14 minutes ago, Jauronimo said: Most of which have been special teams. No, Bishop has 138 defensive snaps and 159 special teams snaps. Typically 62 snaps per game, he's played 1 3/4 games and then a few others here and there. Should be noted that he played in game 4 and 5, so he should have had some more time to "watch and learn", and that both Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams looked "lost in space" as rookies. 1 Quote
notpolian Posted December 6 Posted December 6 I'm still optimistic about Bishop but it was a relief to see no injury designation for Rapp on the Friday report. We are going to have to put pressure on Stafford Sunday. If we end up having to blitz, having our safeties out of position would be even more deadly than usual. 1 Quote

I don't know that Rapp and Hamlin are as good, but maybe they are good enough. McDermott has played against the Rams twice as coach of the Bills: 2020 (10-6, division round, Goff) - this was the Josh Allen "Wild Man" game, where he drew an unnecessary roughness play for grabbing one defender by the face mask, throwing him into the path of two other defenders, and then stiff-arming Aaron Donald to avoid the sack and throw the ball away. 35-32 win 2022 (5-12, Stafford) - businesslike 31-10 thumping on opening day. McDermott was DC in Carolina for two meetings, both losses. In general - I would say that McDermott has shown he has a Good Plan against offenses from the Shanahan line. Of course, the Bills players have to execute, and we need a Good Plan on offense as well. 1 Quote

Harold Jackson Posted December 6 Posted December 6 Bills shouldn't have a problem with this one. I think they win here but lose to Detroit. There's no reason to show Detroit anything,if SB possible. They have Jets and Pats after that to get a 1 seed. If they do lose to Rams. I'd pick them to beat Detroit. Quote
