At the same time I’d like to rest the starters. Hopefully the backups can pull out the W. Edited December 23, 2019 by MDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the only way to get a home playoff game in the first two rounds is to win your division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I am just being selfish here, but I would like to see as many starters as possible play at least the first half, simply because I will be at the game! Looking at the bigger picture, I just want to see a competitive game and a win! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Josh get another game of experience, but one bad hit and we have Barkley starting in playoffs. No. Just listened to McDermott Monday presser and he's "Doris Day"ing us: "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" Said that we're going to do what's best for the team. Have to weigh improving as a team vs rest. Said he's been through 25 playoff games (!!) and you get 2nd guessed no matter what you do. Emphasized several times "we have a YOUNG football team" Said it's a chance to see if some of the guys 'are who we think they are' "if we decide to go that route" Injuries: Ty Nsekhe, Mitch Morse, Shaq Lawson, Andre Roberts, "other guys with bumps and bruises" On Mitch: "I'll know more later this afternoon and then tomorrow as well" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this presser, I didn't hear him mention Brandon once, but I did hear him mention Brian (Daboll) several times. I sort of have the impression that the decision to sit/start might be driven by what they feel will be best for Allen's development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facebook not up yet: Did anyone catch the first question Daboll was asked? He responded "You'd have to ask Josh...he's pretty level-headed....each unique game is a little bit different and I think that would be a good question for him" but it wasn't clear what the question was (to me). Daboll kind of made it sound as though the roster decisions as to who would play would be made by Beane and McDermott and he was just going to keep his head down and prepare a game plan.

CincyBillsFan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I'm with others in wanting the Bills to sit anyone on the injury report AND play their starters for 1 - 2 quarters. I get there's a risk of injury but I would worry about Allen being rusty in the first half of the playoff game if he got no snaps this Sunday. I think treating this like the 2nd preseason game seems the way to go. Edited December 23, 2019 by CincyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 serious question: what will the Googly-Eyed One do with his starters? Seeing as it’s also a meaningless game for the Jets (well, except for draft position...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I feel as though we can comfortably rest Allen, Tre and a couple other key pieces. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave the offense a few series off the top and then gave Barkley the reins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I’d be shock if all the starters didn’t get the week off. It would be a terrible decision to play them. If the bills did lose on wildcard weekend, then I doubt ANYONE would blame it on the prior weeks decision of resting the starters Edited December 24, 2019 by GETTOTHE50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) If nothing else I say give the offense the first quarter with starters to try to hit on plays that have been a problem. Slants, screens and deep shots. Neither team has anything to play for other than draft position and I'm sure both would prefer to lose if that's all that mattered. Still going to watch regardless of how little the game actually means. The season isn't over just because they clinched a playoff birth.

CaptnCoke11 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 9 hours ago, Mr. K said: I would love to see that number sit around 40 every year (Passing & Rushing). The defense doesn't control the clock or put the points up. Beside that being favorites with potential back ups in play is something. We’ll see what happens when he gets another legit outside WR but 40 total TDs is a pretty high mark for even the best in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
