I don't know if I've ever seen a kicker's leg drop as quickly as his.
He was dropping kicks short in Seattle, that is why they didn't stick with him.
Mentally, the guy has no idea about height versus length. It's not like his leg has just gave out, he always had an issue with putting kicks short.

Is this a red flag? Not even with the team?
Something isn't sitting correctly with this back injury.

Not worried. He was tested before game and was negative.

Not sure how you could know this, but regardless, even if true, it may have been the adrenaline talking.
Watch the game. They literally zoomed in on Milano and the trainer. Not that hard to lip read when it's right in front of your face.

Kind of strange to see people talking like he is out forever.
Pretty sure on the field when the trainers came out, he said he was fine and wanted to stay in.
I don't think its as serious as people are making it out to be. I think he misses this next game, but I think there is a chance for KC.
A strain is very vague and could be better in days.

The restrictions we live under are quite minimal.
Minimal?!?! How many kids can't step foot into a classroom??? That's minimal?!? Education is the core of growing up, not being able to be educated is not something I would call minimal.

So if you’re one of his supporters who believe the virus is fake, I wonder how you react to this news?
No one believes the virus is fake, however, the severity of it is extremely fake. The recent death numbers does not constitute the restrictions we are living under.

I was REALLY hoping Neal could’ve turned into that big nickel. Doesn’t seem like he’s playing at all. Maybe he’s our secret weapon and we’re saving him for the 2nd half of the year? Sarcasm, but really, I thought he would take another step this year and be a solid contributor in coverage and vs the run.The guy was a force in Houston and can't see the field this year.
This coaching staff makes no sense with their defensive scheme.
How about having your safeties actually cover someone so you can put another LB on field. Dobson would be really nice to have out there. He can cover too.

Go back and watch last season, and you will understand Sean McDermott's philosophy.
It's not about getting lots of sacks. It's not about getting lots of turnovers and causing chaos.
It's about avoiding big plays. Letting things happen in front of the defense. And then being disciplined enough to stop offenses before they can get first downs and move into scoring position.
Lots of Bills fans seem to struggle with the concept that not every Defensive scheme in the NFL is the same. They want Tremaine Edmunds to be a between-the-tackles thumper at MLB. They want Star Lotulelei to be a penetrating DT who racks up impact plays. Apparently now we want Micah Hyde to be playing man-to-man coverage. But these are not their roles in McDermott's scheme.
There is NO DOUBT that our defense is not doing it's job so far in 2020, and McDermott needs to figure out why. Maybe too many guys are playing injured. Maybe the loss of Lotulelei is way bigger than we anticipated. But I don't believe it comes down to his scheme, or players like Hyde and Edmunds playing out of position. We have seen enough over the last few seasons to know this team CAN play great defense, and do it against good QBs.
That defense only works versus inferior QBs.
The only way we have beat good QBs with McDermott is through sacks and turnovers (think of Dallas last year).
I remember last year we started playing like you described, and it just wasn't good enough. Started to play more aggressive and it was much more effective.

So I read most of the responses in this thread, and lots of contradiction going on amongst people, which gets back to my original point. It seems like a wasted spot on the team, like just a floater out there. Again, this could be a scheme issue and not a Hyde issue, but the FS position on this team is useless right now.
I keep hearing he plays center field. What's the point of him playing center field if he isn't going to be involved in any passing plays? Is he out there just to get a tan?
I keep hearing that he is there so we don't get beat deep. Teams don't need to throw deep on us when they can throw it underneath and just take off down the field. Hyde is playing so far back, so teams are just throwing in front of him and doing whatever they want in space.
We are giving up way too much in the passing game, and this has been a constant theme with QBs that have any ounce of talent. People see the numbers and just forget the fact we played QBs like Haskins, Allen, Mariota, Dalton, Hodges, etc.
I really feel one of our major issues is that we give up so much space in the middle of the field because we are so scared of giving up a deep ball. This is now killing us in the run game too. The % of a QB actually throwing an accurate ball deep is low. Take your chances that the QB can actually throw the ball on target and tighten up closer to the line of scrimmage.

Hyde is just fine. Stop
What is he fine at doing?
I know he is everyone darling with the way he came into the organization, but you have to look at his play recently. He is not an impact player.

You won't be saying this in November and December.
The defense will be fine then, and Hyde will be a key.
This isn't a recent problem with Hyde. He has been invisible for a long time now.

When Hyde first came to Buffalo, he was excellent. Since that first season, there has been a pretty rapid decline.
2017: 13 Pass Defended, 5 Ints
2018: 5 Pass Defended, 2 Ints
2019: 2 Pass Defended, 1 Int
2020: 1 Pass Defended thus far.
When you take a look at his last 15 games (including Houston game), he has one pass defended, that's it.
He doesn't get sacks, and plays more of a FS role on this team. That is awful for a guy that is supposed to be roaming in the secondary.
The only time I see Hyde on the field, is when he is making a tackle 15 yards down the field, or chasing a guy from behind.
It seems like a wasted position to me. I would rather have a guy out there like Neal, who can cause havoc. You don't need to be worried about getting beat over the top when you are applying more pressure.

Terrible coaching decision. Spain is light years better than Winters.
Winters was brutal that second half and it caused Williams to look horrid.

I’m not sure Tremaine is instinctive or physical enough to stay in the middle. He doesn’t have to be a Ray Lewis intimidating type of presence, but he does need to be a sure tackler and physical. He’s a coverage linebacker and that’s fine, but I’d play him on the outside next season.
Same issues he had at VT.
He is just not a MLB and will continue to struggle being there. This coaching staff is forcing him there because that is where he was drafted to be.
Go back and watch him at VT and he is the same player.

Either one would be fine. Just FYI with the Xbox, the new consoles are called either the “Series X” or “Series S”.
Their old consoles are called the “Xbox one S” and “Xbox one X” so you can see how it would be confusing.
If you get the Xbox, just know that the series x ($499) is a much more powerful console compared to the series s (but also $200 more, so...). It will upscale all the older games to 4k HD. The series s is digital only ($299) so no disc drive, and it’s less powerful (but still more powerful than current gen consoles). Same with the cheaper PlayStation 5. They have a disc version for $499 and a digital only (no disc drive) for $399 (which would mean you have to buy all games from their online store. I prefer being able to buy used games, and sell my old games if I choose to). The disc drive versions of the Xbox and PS5 will also function as 4K ultra HD blue ray players.
If you’re only really interested in sports games, Xbox has a new deal with EA sports. All of EA’s entire game catalog (including the new ones that come out) will be on the game pass. So it’ll have all of the Madden NFL, NBA, NHL, FIFA, UFC games. There’s a monthly fee for game pass but there’s a bunch of deals for it available. I did a deal where I got game pass ultimate for the next 3 years for like 1/3 of the price.
Xbox also has a deal where you can get a new gen console on credit. You make monthly payments for 24 months and it also includes the Xbox game pass ultimate for those 24 months.
Playstation has more exclusive games than Xbox but Xbox’s game pass is far superior. They just permanently added the entire Bethesda game catalog too.
Id just get whichever one is available. I could see it being tough to get a new console in 2020.
Very good information. Appreciate it.
Any idea how much the bolded is a month? The game pass is intriguing.

Are some games available cross platform? Some of my buddies were talking about people having advantages on PC.

Haven't played a video game in about 10 years, but want to buy one of these consoles (dont need in right away, whenever they are available).
I have no idea what one to buy. Previously I have owned an Xbox and a Playstation. I just want smooth play with good graphics. Will probably play three games, NHL, FIFA, COD. Any idea which one would be best for me? In the past, I liked the Playstation controller a little better than Xbox (not sure if it has changed much in 10 years).

Doesn't Josh Allen have the most time to throw in the whole NFL?
Did our RBs avg like 5 ypc?
Please tell me again why Spain is getting harped on?

Yeah, Klein is in no way a starter. Not sure what people are talking about.
And I think Dodson is getting too much praise. I think people's expectations were very low and he easily exceeded them. But he stunk in coverage and played decently in the run game and screen game. That's fine, I know he's young and inexperienced, but people are acting like he played a great game. He didn't. He showed he can be a decent depth linebacker. I sure hope he doesn't have to start anymore.
Does anyone think Gesicki would have gone off like that if we had Milano helping out in coverage and Edmunds in the middle of the field? I think no. Gesicki probably would have still done well (he seems to play well against the Bills), but not to such an extent.
He hasn't actually missed too many games though. I was surprised to see that this was only his 5th missed game. He missed 1 last year and 3 in 2018. He played in all 16 games his rookie year.
His rookie year really can't be counted because he didn't play all that much. He was a rotational player.
His broken Fibula was a major injury, but happened late in year so he didn't miss much games. That happens in beginning of year, he is out the entire year and his games missed would dictate his injury prone status.
Last year his hamstring bothered him for weeks and benefited from the bye week, even though some of those weeks he played.
Here we are again with another hamstring injury that will probably bother him all year again.
It's ok to label him good, but injury prone. That is exactly what he is.

Would be nice if they went back and added real crowd noise that synced with what was happening on the field.
It was painful watching that game on Sunday. Felt like a scrimmage.
-
Would rather he just stays in Cleveland and not go to a team we will need to be fighting against for a playoff spot. He is a perfect spot to waste away.
He is extremely talented and would be a huge asset to a team like the Patriots.
-
This team should not value the development of Johnson versus Espenesa. There should be zero instances this year where Johnson is playing over Espenesa.

Who wants to watch a political demonstration? It will have a CNN feel.
I will watch the Bills this year, won't be watching the other games.

I'm going with Vic Fangio. Den starts with Ten, @Pitt and then TB. If Lock looks like he regressed, Shurmur will be running that team by week 4.

The guy doesn't seem to recover fast from any injury he gets.
