Can only hope each Bills player/coach etc are following guidelines 100% as best as possible and maybe keep it to a minimum Edited December 17, 2021 by Sheneneh Jenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: This actually isn't the most stupid idea I've ever heard. It would have the charm of novelty. I'm surprised there's not more innovation and novelty in the game, on this team in particular. For instance, why not line up Tommy Doyle as an extra blocker and have him be an eligible receiver at the goal line? He'd be quite a target at 6'9". And how about a direct snap to the running back on occasion, or a naked bootleg, or blitzing the entire secondary? Onside kicks and fake punts at unexpected times (like when ahead), going for it on 4th down in your own zone, a surprise drop kick. Let Allen call his own plays for a stretch, go no huddle for an entire quarter (not hurry up, just no huddle, so the D can't substitute). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 sucks for dawkins. if brown shows up for a couple weeks, especially against NE, and plays well, i think dawkins gets moved to RT or G. Williams has not been great at RT, but if he can handle it like he did last year, Brown, Dawkins, Morse, Mongo, Williams might be our best combination. Big loss right now tho.

While he's struggled a few times in recent games, he has looked quite good at RT overall for a rookie -- particularly one drafted in the third round. I definitely don't think he should move to LT full time, but it won't surprise me if he starts there on Sunday if Dawkins is out. He's listed as the backup LT on the Bills' depth chart.

Watch the first half of the TB game. He was awful. I watched the game twice along with some breakdowns. It was a jailbreak in the first half. Someone got beat on just about every play. Brown got beat plenty i guess if the other alternative is Doyle, than Brown can’t be that bad of a decision. I’d rather have Ike or ford out there at guard than Doyle playing tackle. He’s certainly doesn’t look like he’s ready for the Nfl of his one snap showed us anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville's "-3" was factored into that calculation. though I did do the addition in my head at gym. So no promises it's 100% accurate Carolina D could keep things close if Allen is running for his life on a bum toe.

Scott7975 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) So done with Star. Guy sits out for an entire season because of Covid. Fine understandable. Proceeds to not get vaxxed. Not really understandable as having a pre existing condition is all the more reason to get vaxxed and any doctor will tell you that. Even still. Fine whatever. Proceeds to miss games after catching Covid. Ok now you are a dumbass but whatever. Comes back for a few plays and injures his freaking toe, sits out the rest of the game, and is out what is likely now multiple weeks for his toe. Meanwhile Allen contorts his whole foot and gets sprained. Dude is going to warrior it out for his team. In my mind Star is nothing but a money grabber looking for a free ride into retirement at this point.

I counted the Jags. And while Pittsburgh is bad, they haven't had a losing record very much this season, where every other team I listed has had significant stretches below .500 Either way if you want me to add the Pittsburgh game, the Bills still average well over the spread, which was my original point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
