And our run D was as porous as it was this past Sunday against the Colts. Last year we could outscore just about anyone that's why we were 13-3. It certainly wasn't due to a stellar defense.

I read an article the other day that appeared to state the same, but then when I read it back like three times noticed there was an "if" or something in a convoluted backwards sentence structure that really said: "IF actually is symptomatic".

I felt it was ruled out by Micah Hyde last Weds saying "it's great to have him back" and Harrison Phillips saying he's been talking to him and it's good to know that it's not as bad as it could have been. In context they both sounded as though they felt Star was fine from a health perspective. 4 hours ago, FilthyBeast said: Or even he does return goes the way of Dawkins the rest of the season and sucks?

Billl Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 4 hours ago, mattynh said: Statistics/sample size.......there is absoltutely nothing to draw from this. With Star, 13.5 PPG and 87 rushing YPG allowed. Without him, 27 PPG and 120 rushing YPG allowed. He absolutely makes a difference. Even if you waive the numbers away due to sample size, you’re talking about a defense that already has depth issues. They played 19 games last season and are hoping to play 21 games this season. His absence puts a lot of stress on the D line, as those snaps have to come from somewhere. I think it’s clear via the eye test that you’re a better run defense with him. If he remains out, teams like New Orleans, and the Patriots (twice) are going to game plan to run power sets all day. Indy ran 44 times out of 66 plays. Belichick may run 65 out of 66. That’s a big ask of a defensive line to go without Star when they’ve already had very few snaps from Basham and Epenesa. You don’t want Basham playing inside or Epenesa at DE against power sets anyway, so your options without Star dry up pretty quickly. You become predictable, and that is a problem with 4 games coming up in the next 5 weeks against Payton, Belichick, Arians, and Brady. Buffalo can roll their helmets out and beat the Falcons, Panthers, and Jets so they’re going to the playoffs. What they do in the other 4 games will determine their road when they get there. If it’s me, I want Star out there giving me 35 snaps a game and more if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalftimeAdjustment Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Let's hope he doesn't come back with "COVID toe" like Aaron Rodgers (per WSJ). In Star's position a toe problem might be very difficult to play through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 McDermott pretty much confirmed he is unvaxed in the postseason presser which is also what was reported in Preseason. So assuming he is healthy and tests negative he should be available Sunday/Monday and be ready for the Pats game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is unvaccinated, he could be back as early as today if he has been symptom free for 48 hrs (10 days from Nov 14) But when he'll really be back is 48 hrs after his last symptoms, whenever that may be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a month. I hope Brown will be back much sooner. I don’t think there’s any set time for a return. I believe players usually test negative somewhere around 10 days. But like others have brought up some to the effects of COVID can linger and we don’t know whether he was able to train on his own.

Livinginthepast Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The fact that we dont even know on game day if a player is playing is bizarre.

billsfan89 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Bills got a blowout win on the road without Star or Brown. Granted the Saints were massively banged up but it was a dominating win. With the "mini bye" thanks to a Thursday win it should hopefully set them up to get Star and Brown back to sure up the lines.
