nothing. It’s going to be too late now. 
 

i do wonder if the Bills might try something different this week— like leaving Spencer Brown at RT and using Doyle or Bates at LT. 

If anything (and still not ideal) bit they may stick Williams at LT, Brown at RT and Ford at LG. With Feliciano likely out as well hey will mothball Bates for backup C duties is my guess.

that is actually a better idea to swing Williams to LT. I just am unsure what the staff is thinking after Brown’s last game. 

[Paul Costa]

Williams at LT is not an option. It will be Brown again 🤮or Bates 🤢. Not good either way . Pray 🙏 for the Schnow Man ⛄️.

My guess is they stick to the same group… if they maintain non train wreck status like last week maybe the Bills can pull this game out. 

 

Yeah, I mean Brown can't get any worse than last week...can he?

Lotulelei listed as DNP due to "Personal" 🤐

 

 

Worried about Micah Hyde's back.  We need Dr Poyer and Mr Hyde.

Doyle?  Bwhahaha. No chance

Bates could do it but they just bury him. So stupid. He couldn't be any worse than Brown's LT meltdown.

I hope so. I actually don’t think the patriots have anyone as good as Burns rushing from the edge. I know they think they do in Judon— but Burns is more of an elite edge rusher than Judon. So, hopefully Brown can hold up a little better.

Yeah but then again, Carolina doesn’t have BB.  I think Judon + BB is a tougher matchup for what Brown currently is.  A raw RT playing LT for the 2nd time ever.  He’s gonna try and mind**** him in the worst ways

He had too many penalties - but I thought he blocked really well. He's kind of a mauler when he gets going.

The good news is that Brown should see a big improvement from last week to this week.  He'll have a game under his belt blocking a very good pass rusher, game film of his work that can be critiqued and learned from and a whole week of practice.  We might be surprised at how well he plays this game.

Josh needs to roll right on every passing attempt! 😃

[RichRiderBills]

We can win with Brown at LT. Burns is sick. Panthers #2 defense.

you are definitely not wrong. I heard a a NE beat guy this week talk about how BB will find your weak link and put his strongest guy out on it to fully exploit it.

Right now they could be without 3 weapons on offense. Agholor, Stevenson, and Bourne. That would be pretty big. They aren't deep at WR.

Wr didn't matter much the first time, just saying.

Yet they bracket Diggs for some reason. 

 

More like an archipelago if you ask me.

Taking their top 2 WR out of the game definitely hurts them.

@The Wiz This one?

we may be without Feliciano and Dawkins. Same situation as the Saints and Packers who are both missing two starting OLs. So no excuses

And the titans who just beat the niners with 3rd string LT and 2nd string LG.  Meanwhile…..we don’t even have a 2nd string LT 😂

I was just thinking that. If Brown or Williams has to come out, who goes in? The water boy?

He was beaten like a drum constantly versus Burns in passing situations (i.e., the majority of plays).

Tommy Doyle or Ryan Bates

I nominate Beane, as long as we put Trubisky in @ QB

Judon and NE D is better.  But yes we can win if Dawkins is out.  Need a complete team win.

Gabe Davis & Cody Ford to Covid list, only Bobby Hart off.

[Stank_Nasty]

We’re missing half our OL and 2 starting wr’s, meanwhile the pats are missing one starter due to covid…. Typical

I'm picturing this exchange...folks in the media give a chuckle and then McD stone-faced just looks each reporter in the eyes and says "no, I'm serious, can any of you coach?"
