That was sort of my point. Not the extremely unlikely event that all the starters are out, but asking how well the 11 work together when one or two subs are in.

The Bills are looking for spare change under the couch cushions just to get close to the salary cap. It would take a monster contract reworking to pay Simmons what he's going to get. I hate to say this, having become a Utah football fan while living in Salt Lake City. But Zach Moss, Dalton Kincaid, and now Bishop, all looked good coming out and all three have just not played up to expectations.

I think the O line is very deep so they'll stash SVPG on IR. Next year looks tougher as McGovern will be difficult to retain since he's playing so well. SVPG should be 100% by next summer and with a year to practice (one healed) we can hope he'll take McGovern's place. McBeane are playing 4D chess now. As always Beane is not thinking solely about this year but how to maintain a strong roster for years to come.

Yes. The Bills do not agree with you. They talk to lots of players all. The time. It makes sense they would check in with him. It does not mean they think he is an upgrade to. What they have. He is not. Exactly. I thought Hollins was an upgrade last year.

He can cover Samuel against us.

Sensing Max will probably go on IR to start the season and be out for the early part of the season as he can barely even move his right leg on the stationary bike. Not sure what they do with SVPG? Season ending IR as he hasn’t practiced at all. He must have torn his calf muscle to be out this long. With the amount of injuries at WR and S, it would seem wise that six/seven WR’s will make the roster and assuming either Forest or Cam will make the roster at S. Also, if Bass isn’t 100% does he start the season on IR as well? So many question marks with our current state of injuries and how it will impact the roster at the start of the season.

By listening to the interview it just sounds like he’s looking for one of the guys to step up and prove he can be the more consistent player. Not as big of a deal as I thought when first reading the post.

Very fun to head into the 2024 offseason with massive needs at WR and safety, and now, post the 2024 FA period and 2024 draft and the 2025 FA period and the 2025 draft, STILL have massive needs at WR and safety.

The only thing that would have been gained is another available training camp roster spot. The Bills have released some players who were doing OK, because they had needs for other positions and were up against the 90 man limit. But I agree, they know what they're doing, and they might have wanted to keep him available in case of injury to other OLmen.

But did the Bills bring back our cheerleaders? Nooooooooo

Who is better then? The Ravens, can’t beat us, the poorly ran Buffalo Bills when it counts. The Bengals? Living off their miracle run to the Super Bowl. They’re more likely to miss the dance all together than make a run: The 49ers? You’d have a ***** cow of we mismanaged the QB position like them. So who do you want to point to Chiefs? Sure. Eagles? Absolutely. Brother, the same media that you’re taking their votes into account barely wanted to give Josh any credit this year. They’re JUST finally coming around on him.

I was a big fan of his as a Redskin , still optimistic about him , he can do it all and flashed in the playoffs . Could be a true weapon, hopefully

another early round swing and a miss it would seem many such cases

Oh I agree Just that playoff ypg isn't a reliable indicator of quality necessarily

If i could, I'd bet he's the starter by mid-season, he seems to have great instincts and pursuit, just needs to perfect the playbook

He already knew that it was his job to lose … and he promptly decided to do what he could to lose it. I’m less than impressed with the kid. … or just create a 99 OVR safety 😂

Hmm this sounds like reverse psychology, like when the wife says “oh I’m so tired, I wish someone else would cook dinner tonight”. Luckily for me I’m completely selfish and always pick this moment to pretend I’m busy thinking about Josh Allen

Get a grip, dude! 🙄 The injuries the Bills have suffered are more numerous than we'd like to have but not nearly as significant as some other teams have suffered. No projected starter has suffered a season-ending injury so far. No projected starter is expected to miss months of the regular season, either. Hairston's knee is the worst one so far, and he should be back to practicing before the season starts.

Yep. They are backups for a reason.

I really wish this was like Madden where there's a bunch of 82-84 OVR DBs always ready to sign... it always felt like cheating but hey

Based on what? Our domination of the AFC East with an MVP QB? QB's that put up the type of QBR Allen has given us year in and year out average over 65% winning % over the last 20+ years and that isn't with a division of back up QB's for half a decade. Compared to the the contending teams we have the least top 100 players, least pro bowlers, and least All Pro's. All "measurable" things. But the take tends to be, "but in poor Buffalo, nobody knows our players". While simultaneously having the MVP on our roster and more national TV games per year than just about anybody outside of Dallas or KC. We have Allen, Cook, Dawkins, Brown, and Benford, maybe Johnson if you count nickle corners as far as top 10 positional players. Yet we have invested the 3rd most draft capital in the defensive line since McD has come here (I can prove that as well). Our WR's are a hot plate of garbage along with our secondary which is REALLY saying something given two of those top 10 players I called out reside there. Funny thing with both is the problem existed last year as well. We just don't seem to acknowledge it as we will ride the extra wiggle Allen gives us into the ground vs upgrading. Christ, we played last year like a cheap MLB team waiting for the trade deadline to be certain they don't have what they need, while first place was lost long ago. What we have done during this rebuild Version 2 has been very, very average. Something that would be exposed to the core if it wasn't for Josh. Beane is doing a fairly blah job with the occasional single or double for some time. You can only live off Allen for so long. It will get exposed soon enough and already has been for plenty of us.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall McD declaring Bishop the starter at safety. We all thought that he had the inside angle for the job but did McD ever make it official? So to me there is nothing unusual for him to remind EVERYONE that the competition for that safety spot is still open. Basic football coaching 101. As for Bishop the situation is actually simple: if he stays healthy and is able to fully practice over the next 3 weeks he's got the job.
