I’m certain all are aware of the Colts injury report.  Only mid week though 

     DNP;

BUCKNER

CARRIE

FISHER

LEONARD

ODEYINGBO

SMITH


from what I know of the colts from their beat guys, this is par for the course and all those guys will play. They must report in an overly cautious way.

Please understand that being vaccinated does not make you immune, it only avoids greater risks if you get infected, so to speak, it is a preventive vaccine, not a cure.

 

 

seeing and knowing people who got vaccinated several months ago whose immunity strength has dropped with time, so the vax is only good for a certain amt of time and susceptible to the delta variant as well, so unless we get the booster the previously vaccinated are now susceptible is the concern, is that case here, we shall soon find out...

The Bucs offense couldn't move the ball against the WFT who has a worse defense than the Jags.  

The Titans defense couldn't stop Zach Wilson and he is playing like a bottom 2 QB in the NFL.  

The Cowboys defense couldn't stop the Broncos offense led by Teddy Bridgewater....at home.  The Broncos had 3....3 offensive line starters out for the game!

The Ravens couldn't protect Jackson in the passing game and couldn't open up holes in the running game against the Dolphins.

 

Yes, upsets just happen and especially this year.

What caused the upsets?  You can’t just say “upsets happen”.  Why do they happen?

 

if your reason why upsets happen is because “upsets happen”, it’s weak. Yes, upsets happen……but not just “because” they happen. 
 

One the the biggest reasons we lost to the jags is because our OL stunk and josh wasn’t good enough that day to bail them out.  One of the reasons our OL stunk so bad was because brown was out and Williams was @ RT and Ford was @ RG.  Our backups were taken to the woodshed.  Dion dawkins goes out for one play.  Doyle comes in and almost get 17 killed. Boettger and Ford make up the worst OG combination in the league.  They are a problem for our offense. 

 

Think whatever you like.  There is a chance that the colts upset us this Sunday.  If that happens, I’d bet $ that the right side of our OL is one of the reasons we lost.  I’d also bet $ that “because upsets happen” isn’t one of the reasons nor does “especially this year” have anything to do with it.

If you look at his Twitter likes it's pretty clear he's not vaccinated lol.

 

I guess there is a chance he's anti vax but reluctantly got it because of work/protocols.

 

But I would assume he's out the next two games.

You could tell that by his draft party in Iowa back in April. Whole town was over at his house celebrating (huge accomplishment so rightfully so), and not a single mask that I recall seeing from anyone at the party.

Try Doyle at RT?  Leave Williams at Rg?  Ford has been pretty bad.  Williams has been bad at RT imo.  Idk if Doyle is ready or not maybe Bates?  He was Tackle eligible last week.  Moving Williams outside hurts 2 spots not 1.

 

My two choices would be Bates at RT and keep Williams at RG, or move Williams to RT but try Jamil Douglas at RG

Since we haven't seen much of either, I'm not sure which would be the way to go.

 

Cody Ford just looked sheepish the last time he played RG - baaa aaaaa aaaaad

Just looked at his twitter feed, and I can't disagree. I'd be utterly shocked if he's vaccinated.

It's not weak to say upsets happen.  Every single upset happens for a reason but you seem to think it's only an issue with the Bills.

 

I gave reasons why the other upsets happen but you only want to acknowledge the Bills offensive line issues.  

You don't think there's reasons why all the other teams I mentioned lost?  

 

The Ravens, Titans and Bucs all played terribly when they were upset...just like the Bills and it's not any different.  

The Broncos were down 3 offensive starters and the Cowboys still couldn't stop their offense.  How concerning should that be for Cowboy fans?

Hopefully he's vaccinated so we can get this over quicker. 

 

Praying he’s back by the Thanksgiving game or I just might be a foul host to a house full of people. I’m glad I was alone for that Jacksonville game, though I’m sure the neighbors heard me at times!

I think it's more about the guy behind him getting Josh Spartan kicked into the well. 

 

 

 

see above.

 

Brown's sample sized is so miniscule, I don't see how anyone can find a significant delta.  

 

The O-line will not be an order of magnitude worse, as it seems a bunch of posters are worrying.

Totally agree.  Teams and players (and race horses) just have bad days.  They don't have their A game, or their B or C game even.   Pitchers in baseball are a great example.

 

Now the line did suck against Jax-- no question.  But a lot of upsets are just when the favorite is having a bad day.  One of the reasons why sports are so interesting.

What really annoys me about the Bills being without Brown, Star, and Edmunds is that it will completely miss all the national talking heads, so when the Bills lose it will be "Oh, the Bills aren't very good" with no acknowledgement of what's really going on.

why is that important to you? If they lose, that's more important than what the media think. Just watch the games and ignore everything else. It's a waste of time

So what?  Nothing really matters until the season is over, and then we will see where the dust settles.

Not having all these players available sucks but it will be just an excuse if the Bills do in fact lose to the Colts.

 

If the Bills truly fancy themselves as an elite SB type of team you still beat a quality team like the Colts at home and do so handily like the Pats did last week against the Browns.

Chicken Little much?  Since you've already predicted the "L" for Sunday, can I have some Lottery #'s please?

Has the team ever made excuses after a loss?

If he's vaxxed, he might be able to play Sunday, and will almost definitely be able to play against the Saints.

 

If he isnt vaxxed, he can not play either game.

 

HUGE difference, and plenty to do with being vaxxed.

he would still be out next sunday, 10 days.

Something tells me that if the Bills do lose at least one national talking head will mention these guys are out.

The pats are an elite SB type of team?

But in the NFL it is different. If he is vaccinated he has a better chance of playing Sunday then if not. Majority of cases are not from vaccinated people

He would still be out next sunday, 10 days, so it's a moot point. Also, the CDC hasn't updated that data in a while, it might be wrong for me to assume the withholding the data, but probably not. In your life & the NFL, think about the people that have tested positive recently, vast majority are vaccinated.

I am genuinely upset to hear this. At this point us trying to run this offense without Brown is like the Goonies trying to beat the Fratellis without this guy:

If we can't beat the Colts at home without Spencer Brown, we are just pretenders anyway.

I don’t get it either.

He seems to be the next to the next to the next man up.

 

I mean, it's entirely possible that they watch Bates in practice and that's how they evaluate him at G and at T

…,  this is the very scenario that will botch up this season’s potential,  ya gotta have your best players available,  look what Covid did to DD, hasn’t been the same guy since, now our RTs health has a big question mark on him, all we can do is hope for the best,🤞  like you said…,

 

Again, to be fair - McDermott has repeatedly said that Dawkins is recovered from Covid now.  Of course, it's entirely possible that he's suffering from more subtle lingering effects (mental), but it's also possible he just let being a celebrity go to his head and is struggling to get back into the right physical shape and mindset.
