I think McDermott is too worried about what effect it might have on his precious defense to do it for more than a few series.

Correct. If Josh Allen stays healthy, this is a playoff team. I’m not sure how there is even any debate about that. The number of people here who expect the Bills to miss the playoffs is wild…like it’s a Dolphins forum or something.

If the QB you drafted turns out to be good, it’s never a bad pick.

Thanks for pissing on the corn flakes…God forbid we get excited about a young Bills player here on this Bills messsge board.

Don't you think it suggests the opposite? It's a pretty significant sample size...were talking about more than just one season...

The Bills are still a relatively healthy team, if you look at their injuries as a whole...it's just that almost every single injury has been on defense. It's pretty amazing, and difficult to write off purely to chance.

Over the past few seasons, it seems that the overwhelming majority of the Bills' serious injuries (injuries that result in multiple lost games) have been on defense...Tre White, Von Miller, Matt Milano, Daquan Jones, Damar Hamlin, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Terrel Bernard, Baylon Spector, and Christian Benford is only a partial list of Bills' defenders who have missed a lot of time because of injuries. And I suppose we can add Mike Edwards and Cole Bishop, too. On the other hand, it's hard to name any starter on offense who has missed much time. Mitch Morse, Dawson Knox and Spencer Brown might have missed a game or two, but injuries have really had no measurable impact on the Bills' offense for a couple years running. Anyone have any explanation for this? Is it just luck, or does it have something to do with the scheme or the type of players the Bills have been drafting and acquiring on defense? My sense is that it's more than just luck and that it might have something to do with the Bills favoring smaller, more mobile, more versatile defenders. I can't remember ever seeing a team with so many key injuries on one side of the ball and almost none on the other, especially over an extended period of time. Curious what others think.

Hard to imagine this team making the playoffs without Claypool…🤡

I recall some good games Judon had vs Bills when he was a Raven

Stefon Diggs is not Tyreek Hill, not by a long shot.

At least this did not happen mid-season…we got time to try to patch this (massive) hole.

I think Matt just needs hang ‘em up. Pretty clear that his body just can’t hack being an NFL linebacker. Too bad, because he is/was a great player.

Pretty sure the Bills had the highest third down conversion rate in the league last year.

Even worse when you consider that they passed on CJ Stroud…

There was a poster here who went on a six-month crusade for Trubisky leading up to the 2017 draft…I am pretty sure he’s no longer around, or, more likely, changed his name.

I wasn't trying to make excuses for Lance; simply pointing out that there is really no basis for anyone to conclude that this guy has what it takes to be a good NFL QB. Lance was an extraordinarily dumb draft pick by the normally astute 49ers.

More than that. Lance hasn't played a full season of football since 2019, his only full season since high school.

I feel relatively good about MT as the backup QB…

I’m surprised more guys don’t get hurt sliding on turf…always seems risky…

Deion, maybe?

Josh looked gimpy getting up from that slide

Who?

Well, the defense is getting plenty of reps today…

Phantom call…refs in mid-season form

Nice series for the O-line
