C.Biscuit97 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 1 minute ago, Shaw66 said: I gotta say I don't really know, but I agree with you. There's a definite loss of physical talent on the field with those two guys out, but I don't think it will be critical. In a sense, the replacements are protected by the talent in front of them and the talent behind them. They will be out there doing their jobs, but they will have help from that other talent, and they will have help from the schemes Frazier and McD devise. Biggest problem will be Fitz, who has the experience and smarts to take advantage weaknesses resulting from these injuries. On the other hand, we all know Fitz has his limitations. I agree - the Bills should be okay Sunday. I think they will use the middle of the field and their TE especially. It will probably be a game where Miami hangs around for a bit before Fitz, who I love, Fitz’s. The Bills have such a bigger talent advantage.

Hampton Josh fan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This is where Sean shows his defensive chops. The d-line is dominant. The safeties are arguably the best tandem in the league and AJ Klein is good against the run. Bring up Lacy and get the job done. We will score at least 24 and make it stand up. If they can't do it , Beane should bolster the LBs room. The special teams ace from Pittsburgh should earn his free agent money this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave up the 3rd and 18 that same drive. Now they are both out Week 1 with a torn butt and a bruised shoulder and can't find it in themselves to go to work Week 2. They still take their million dollar salary. Good riddance. Who cares how tall you are, or how much you overachieve if you are bad on the field, loose and worst of all not even show up. the troll from another team has entered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) I wonder if we might see Tre on Gesicki if Parker is out .. he was on ertz a bit last year vs the Eagles.

jwhit34 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 This is definitely where the 53 + 2 on game day to get the roster to 55 is important. Beane has Lacy and Andre Smith on the practice squad, they can be the 54th and 55th players and be active on Sunday. As many have commented, making them 1-dimensional (pass) would be big, then they could go with 6 DBs (Siran Neal). Between McDermott and Frazier I have a lot of confidence in them to scheme around the personnel challenges. I also like the notion that this puts more on the DL and with such a veteran group I can see them really stepping up their game. I'm sure they've known all week that both were out so they have been on it. Savvy, smart vets like Hughes, Murphy and Addison will be ready. Having so many starters back also helps in terms of scheme and how exotic they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo2218 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It's a wise move on McDermott's part. It may be a road game, and it may be hot, but the quality of this opponent doesn't match the quality of the week 3 opponent. Were gonna need both back for that game, if not at least Edmunds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Well, the offense will have to step up and either (1) play ball control (tough in the Miami heat) or (2) go aggressive and score a lot of points.

frostbitmic Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Should be close for 3/4 of the game, then come the 4th Q, Fitz will be Fitz and throw a couple of INT's. McD will use his best defenders to come up a plan to slow the water mammals down. We're generally a 4-2-5 defense, maybe play a 5-1-5 at times vs the Mahi Mahi, especially if they try and beat us on the ground. Our offense will put up 30+ this week in front of a Bills heavy crowd in South Buffalo, Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Fitz's strength is those shorter to mid range passes in the middle of the field, so this should open things up for him to potentially do some real damage there.
