This team ain't right without Tre White.

They're going to HAVE to get right without Tre.  Can't do anything about it now.

I think it might take a couple games, but Dane Jackson might end up surprising some folks.  Clearly he doesn't have the experience (or a number of other things) that Tre has, but it's not like he's completely devoid of any skill.  Actual playing time should help him develop.

Agree. I bet Star isn’t playing. Just a hunch. 

 

Dion Dawkins mentioned Star discussing battling breathing issues with him while he was away from the team. Quite possible, if not likely, that he's still dealing with after effects even though he's no longer contagious and able to return. I agree, I'm starting to think he may not be ready to go and if he does - he won't be 100%

Maybe getting both Star and Brown back was too much to hope for.  Hopefully Brown's presence (and attitude) will help spark the Offense. 🤞

Yup...this is exactly what I went through...that’s why my doctor recommended I take an extra 10 days off from work after my two week bout with covid...

Great, all we need is Star at 70%. Kinda like Dawkins has been all year.

Surprisingly, the Bills have good inside running advanced metrics...I believe top 10 in the NFL

Ugh I hate advanced metrics.. that stuff ruining sports.. (more BBall than anything else) but ugh I hate all the metrics.. half the time they go against what your own eyes see. Lol

I mean I agree...I don't really understand how because literally the RBs are dodging lineman in the backfield pretty much every handoff.

What is amazing to me is the requirement that a certain number of people who are actually on the roster every week have to be inactive. What's the friggin' point of that? In no other sport does that happen. 

Maybe it's like when I'm waiting tables, and I cut an odd number of bread slices for an even number of guests: now they have to make decisions.

Star still listed as a Limited participant today due to "Illness" with Spencer Brown not on the report at all concerns me. If he doesn't get a Full in tomorrow, he may be Questionable heading into the game and possibly still Out.

Spencer Brown IS the more important player of the two right now, though. Right?

I doubt Brown had COVID so he should be healthy, rested and ready to go.  Getting Feliciano back should be an emotional boost for the OL as well.  Star got sick so I wouldn't expect him to play.  If he doesn't, hopefully Ankou and Bryant play well in his place.

Feliciano is one of our better  run blockers.  Could be important if the weather is as bad as some predict and fear.

Has anyone heard anybody talking about this at like a national football talking heads level? I am pretty stunned how little of a deal is being made of this. A qb is balling out with practice squad level talent on his offensive line and we could be getting back multiple more talented guys on the offensive line. But still everyone picks the pats cuz ‘the bills are soft’…we sure heard a lot about how the chiefs only lost the superbowl because they were missing one offensive lineman and they had to shuffle dudes around though lol

They're already talking about how a Cheaters-Bucs SB would be a ratings bonanza.  So...

The SB is already a ratings bonanza, the TV ad spots have already been sold, and the league already paid by the networks.
 

All that’s left is narrative and the talking heads can never get enough of a good narrative. Brace for the nausea. Of course, the Bills are in a position to cram it down their throats and it will be music to our ears.

I keep checking & hoping we have the full contingent - Star, Brown & Feliciano.

 

I wish there was just ONE more week before this fairly important game (though the Bucs is important as well).  But I figure at least we'll get 1 or 2 of these guys back, if not all 3, for NE.  They'll all help a great deal w/ the things that we've been lacking.

I hear it mentioned alot. 

I live right outside NYC and this game is by far the most my friends and Co workers, mostly Jet / Giant fans ,  have brought up Buf. Everyone knows I'm a die hard Bills fan my whole life.

Also hear it talked about on local sports radio here. 

The general public is excited for a big time MNF matchup in Dec. is the vibe I'm getting

They've already started a narrative on Josh's journey. They did a segment on it during the Thanksgiving game. They'll have plenty to talk about with the Bills.

Ohh I meant our injury situation on the offensive/defensive line improving not excitement for the game.

Yea I read that in The NY Times of all places…despite the packers looking fantastic with aaron rodgers playing and the cardinals looking like a tough out. I don’t think the bucs were even the best team in the nfc last year
