Also we don't exactly have a murderers row of WRs to face for the rest of the season. Obviously Tampa Bay sticks out but that's it. In the playoffs who knows. If we have to go against Tennessee and/or KC without Tre on the field it goes without saying that it's going to be a tough battle. Still I don't see us suddenly being the worst defense in the league or anything like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great safeties help make up for the mistakes of corners and corners having safeties they trust allows them to play more aggressive and better. I think the team will be fine, White's loss will hurt but I think they will play well around the injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Any sort of advance statistics on Dane last night? Pff or anything? I know he was getting burned on that go route early but I don’t remember feeling bad about him afterwards. I really liked him a lot in the Jet game last year. I kind of expected him to stick a little more then he had after that. I think he has a chance to be ok. Certainly not Tre. But I don’t think he will be a target Edited November 26, 2021 by Brianmoorman4jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 This is not great. Feel bad for Tre, in addition to this year who knows when he will be back to his normal self. Unfortunately, time marches on and we have big shoes to fill. Unfortunatly there is no way to replace what White brings in a 1:1 swap. Glanced at the practice squad lists and it's not a great list of replacements. I've broken a few names up into tiers. Next man up is our players in the PS. "Next man up" tier: Nick McCloud Josh Thomas "Players with Bills Ties" tier: Lafayette Pitts-Atlanta Kevon Seymour-Balt Nickell Robey-Detroit "I've Heard of them" tier: Darqueze Dennard-Colts Brian Poole-Colts Joshua Jackson-Chiefs In addition I've seen someone suggest kicking the tires on EJ Gaines. Better hope McD and Frazier are as good at scheming a way to make up for the loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 We need a thread on options. I'm woefully uninformed about who we have on our practice squad and how good our depth is. Has Dane Jackson been good when he has filled in? Why is Quinton Dunbar not playing for any other team now? I keep hearing his name come up as a potential signing.

And that comment got at least five or six thumbs up or agree emojis. Those posters are about to see how overrated he isn’t. Obviously a terrible thing to happen to him and to the defense, but let’s hope that this just makes them stronger by unifying them. There’s not gonna be any shut down corner out there. That defensive line needs to get to the quarterback and they need to create pressure to make it easier on the cornerbacks and safeties to make plays. Yup. Wallace or Jackson lining up against #1 WRs will be telling. That’s gonna hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Huge blow. Terrible for Tre, he is such a great guy. I’m glad he got his contract and love he is likely a Bill for life. But… How many people at the beginning of the year said, “The Bills can win the super bowl because of how well Tre White plays” ? None. We will miss Tre. His ability, his fire and his personality more than we can probably measure. But this team will live and die by Josh All-in and the offense. We’re just going to have to score more now than we thought. Edited November 26, 2021 by EmotionallyUnstable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has been very fortunate with injuries in the secondary since 2017. Only EJ Gaines missed a lot of time in the secondary now with White out we will see how well McD can scheme around a major injury. Agree. But if there is a system and team that can absorb this it's us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re just going to have to score more now than we thought. I'd have have said we need three guys to stay healthy - Allen, White and Diggs. I have expressed many times on this forum my view that we might just be 1 elite player short to be a Championship team. We have those three (most SB teams have 4 or 5) and we can't afford to be without any of them to win a Superbowl IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iverwig Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 No need to fear all they have to do is move Isaiah McKenzie over to the defense to help the secondary out since he has experience playing there. In all seriousness there will be an adjustment period but be thankful for Hyde and Poyer. Good news is minus the Bucs there isn’t much of a huge threat from the receiver position in the up coming games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If there's one area on the team McDermott can coach up, it's the CB position.

I love how people think the cap applies to everyone but the Bills. Let me guess, you would’ve also like him to bring in some all-pro guards, some tackle depth, a surefire pass rusher, a monster run killing DT, and now elite corner depth instead of the “scrubs.” Sounds completely reasonable, not sure how these mediocre coaches and gms keep jobs around here with guys like you around.
