Does anyone know if Hyde and Crowder we're able to practice today?

Correct, but he exited the Bengals game on the 3rd play of the game with a concusion

I think/hope he comes back next week. We need all hands on deck against the Bengals. We we're not going to beat the Bengals with a 3rd string safety, no Taron Johnson and Tre at 70-80%. No one expects Tre too be back at 100% this season, but maybe when we meet the Bengals again (3 weeks from last time), Tre will be at 75-85%. Plus Taron, and hopefully Hyde. Also can't forget Benford I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday.

I'm in the camp that it's unlikely, but than again. None of us knows the exact procedure. ACDF speculation makes sense because of the 6-9month recovery time that was reported. However, who knows if it was something else.

The number one reason guys move from CB to safety, is speed or lack of fluidity. We've never been a big team, and are built on coverage, so it could work. I just think this team is to stubborn to try.

Listen...I see the same thing you guys are seeing. Tre is clearly struggling, and not back to form. But I'm not buying this...he's average crap, and I'm not ruling out improvement. To me, the more he plays, the more he'll Starr to get his legs under him. The jersey tug on Chase was a flag, but I've seen Sauce Gardner [who I loved coming out), get away with similar tugs almost weekly.

Thanks for sharing. The thing that sticks out to me is Cook's speed. I also won't get too excited, because the Bears have a bad defense, but there has been some signs of life with our running game this year. Bodes well for the playoffs.

Thanks for reminding me. That was certainly a worthy performance, and gives me hope, but we need to continue to see it these next couple of weeks. 2 above average games, and a so so game would do it for me. Unrealistic expectation to expect total domination week in and week out. The Cleveland game, may of been his best ge as a pro, when you consider how good those guards are for Cleveland.

I agree Let's see him do it during this 3 game AFCE stretch, when we need it most.

All of this!

He was so bad, that I was like...omg, I think he might single handely cost us the game. The last few weeks, he seems like a street free agent

It's been a few weeks in a row now, that Dane Jackson is getting abused. Wherever he lines up, teams are attacking. He needs to be benched.

As much as I love Tre as a player, and everything that is said about him as a person. I think it's perfectly fair for fans to feel a little frustrated at this time. I don't understand why people are getting defensive about it. ACL recovery time for football players is typically 9-12 months. We are technically still in that window for another 3 days, but I don't think many of us expect him to play this week. If we were only a few days, or even a week or 2 from when he was cleared, it would be one thing, but we are now about a month past that point. Without saying it, the coaches are also wondering. Love him or hate him, he gets paid a lot of money to figure this kind of thing out, is the bottom line.

I didn't like the call, because it was too obvious. In my opinion, the safety is worse in that situation. Why can't we just run our offense? Would we normally try a sneak from that close in? Use Josh's legs, with th run/pass option. We were out coached all game.

After almost 20 years of misery as a Bills fan, I love that we have to nit pick, to find something wrong with this team. We played a B minus or C plus game and it was never even close.

I am not worried about run defense. Your up by 3 scores, right thing to do is to play the pass. Everyone on the planet we're scratching their heads, as to why GB was running. Phillips is one of my favorite players. He absolutely loves being here and it shows. Said he came back, because this was home, this was family for him. Fits Bills culture perfectly.

I love it, but the basement episode got the spelling right. Hertel Ave

I would've given 2 1s for that guy.

Good point.

I don't disagree with any of this, but I do believe he's a generational talent, who will find a way to overcome most weeks. Demarcus Lawrence on the other side help, and to think, this guys was either a MLB or ILB at Pennstate. Same thing with the Cowboys, except that all their pass rushers got hurt. Not bad...going from a fill in, to LT comparisons. I do admit, I'm a Pennstate fan, so I can be a little bias at times.

Ok....I think you mean DROY DPOY......hands down after y games is Micah Parsons, and its not close right now.

I hate even mentioning the refs, but 2 bailout calls on those holding penalties.

We need to adjust to their blitzes. And make them pay. This looks like AFCCG from 2 years ago, at least on offense

We're playing too tight. Let's play Bills football and let it rip.

Getting ready to make this same point plus 2 others. 1. As OP notes above, no Ward (criminally underrated). Just watch SF defense, to see the difference he makes. 2. The Emergence of Gabe Davis 3. Diggs is noticeably bigger/stronger this year. I believe he said he put on about 10-12lbs of lean muscle, and it has showed in his play. Given these 3 things, I expect him to have one of his better games against them.
