Fadingpain Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 No, if Shady is out, or even if plays but can't be Shady due to his injury, we're screwed. End of story. 9 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: The Jags literally had the easiest schedule in the NFL. Their one big hallmark win was destroying the Steelers when Big Ben and then were in a funk. But still an impressive victory. this game rest on the shoulders of the Bills D as I don't see the O scoring much at all unless the D provides some key turnovers and short fields. McCoy be important but for the Bills to win it has come down to Bortles or Taylor winning it. Both teams focus on taking away the run so it's up to the QBs to make plays. Who do you trust more to get the win? This is like saying "What would you prefer to contract? Syphilis or Hepatitis C?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Our offense is pretty bad even with Shady, it won't be better without him, it won't be the same without him either. Our defense will need to have a huge game for us to advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Of course it's not a GOOD thing for McCoy to be out. But it reminds me of a Houston Oilers playoff game in the 1980s. Earl Campbell was even a bigger part of Oilers offense than McCoy is to ours and total monster and D wrecker. However in that game, the Oilers relied heavily on D and other RBs and passing to WIN the game. Dan Pastorini was the QB. So it's not like they had some monster "Franchise QB" to carry them through. We could do something similar. Unlike many on here I don't think that Rico is a boob. I have seen him do some impressive things with play calling etc this year. Hotrod's TD pass on Sunday was one and the pass on the goal line Hotrod missed were examples. Those guys were wide open and the Fish were totally faked out. Jocks all over the field. Putting in the Webb package vs the Patsies** was another. I suspect he'll play. If he can get on the field (even with crutches) he'll play. I like our chances either way.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Injuries: Bills RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) day-to-day McCoy, the centerpiece of the Bills' offense, will receive treatment throughout the week, but will not be fully healthy even if he's able to get on the field Sunday. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000902300/article/injuries-bills-rb-lesean-mccoy-ankle-daytoday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shady is not going to play, does it force a game-plan that no defense has seen yet? Does this let Taylor run wild on odd formations and force our receivers and TEs to be a much bigger part of the plan? Just trying to look at the positives but in a weird way, I think that not having the Jags D focus their game-plan around Shady could be a positive. One thing I believe is that our offense is going to be completely different without us putting such a huge emphasis on the run-game. This might be the dumbest post on these boards.

Would you rather an 80% Shady for whole playoff period, or 0% against the Jags and 100% against the Pats/Steelers/whoever? I'd sit Shady and get him 100% for NE. Give Murphy 75% of the touches and Tolbert 25%. Throw to Murphy alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
