Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: With the Knox and Dodson news we are really getting hit with injuries this year. It's conceivable we'll be down our top OLB and his backup, our top 3 CBs, our #2 WR, and our #1 TE. Thank goodness we have our easiest game of the year this week or it would be an almost certain loss. Knox won't be back for the Patriots but hopefully everyone else will be. Knox could be back for the Patriots if his calf injury is ready. If he doesn't have symptoms, he could be back Weds (if the positive sample was Fri). or Thurs (if the positive sample was today) if he tests negative 2x: "Asymptomatic players can’t return until: – 10 days have passed since initial positive test OR – 5 days have passed since initial positive test AND two consecutive negative tests are completed separated by 24 hours within a five-day period – Return is approved by team’s physician after consulting with ICS and NFL’s chief medical officer" (Note that I am just stating the NFL's published rules, not my opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Crowder being out for the Jets is huge, particularly with the Bills so thin at CB. Crowder picking on Johnson all day would’ve been a thing. Mims has had three pro practices TOTAL, so he’s not just gonna step in and dominate. It’s gonna be Perriman, Smith, and Berrios, and I’d like to think that even a super banged up Bills defense can handle that motley crew.

MJS Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Do we know anything about White's back injury, like when or how it happened? I haven't been following stuff much this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps that the Jets are the worst team in football this year, but I agree with you. Don't think it will be an easy victory, if it's a victory at all. It's the NFL! Anyone can win in any game.

Think that's a great shout. Then get me Notre Dame LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in the 2nd (although I think he might be playing himself into the 1st potentially) and we're cooking again. Dude gives me *pre-injury* Jaylon Smith vibes and not just because they both played LB at ND. Speed, instincts, and great vs the run and in coverage. Seems like a McBeane type as well...senior, team captain, hard worker etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Gonna be an ugly game with a real possibility to lose to Jets. No defense, no TEs, no run game and a QB who reverted back to “bad Josh” past two weeks. Pretty much a recipe for disaster after such a good start.

RochesterLifer Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 1 hour ago, Best Williams Available said: True. Disappointed in Knox’s performance this year overall. Getting Covid may not have been his fault but maybe he was being irresponsible too. A solid TE could really be a good safety net for JA and the offense but we have yet to see it. That is a very unfortunate statement. Actually, trashy is a good way to describe it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 On 10/23/2020 at 6:25 PM, Hapless Bills Fan said: I see it during games, but the point remains was DiMarco contributing in ways our TE don't. I literally watched Knox run into Winter on one run play. It was so bad. Yeah the run game hasn't gelled at all this year. Dimarco and Feliciano are the missing pieces from the team that started this season. Dimarco never seemed effective as a bruising lead blocker to me so have to hope that Mongo will help us improve once he's back and that he was a bigger reason for last year's rushing success than we realized.

Way to stay positive man and have faith, I mean you're right the jets are a juggernaut who will unleash the fury on the Bills tomorrow. Plus Josh couldn't possibly have a better game against a winless jets team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock running down. Need to activate by 27th or reverts back to IR. Can you educate me - is that a 3 week IR or season long he reverts to? 3 minutes ago, OldTimer1960 said: I hope you are right and Bills win - I always hope for that.

I haven't been following stuff much this week. I don't think White has said. It may have been something bothering him at a low level all season but never enough to affect a practice? He said it "flared" in practice before the Titans game and that it's been getting better, that he is trying to do his rehab at the facility and at home and "stay off his feet" as much as possible. The "flared" bit implies to me something that was already present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2016, the Bills opening game was on my actual birthday. 8-8 under Rex the previous year which was a disappointment, but THIS YEAR WOULD BE DIFFERENT. Whaley had gone out and gotten the players Sexy R. wanted, and this thing was gonna be ON! We opened against the Ravens and it was quickly clear that our offense was totally impotent. Speaking of impotent, Flacco was showing clearly he was on the downhill slide. 4 sacks, a fumble, and we still couldn't get it done. Awful awful game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
