Who? The Cheaters and Dols? If either of their #1 TEs goes down, they're in trouble as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 11 minutes ago, Lothar said: Realistically, he's probably not playing a full role till week 7 after the bye. He won't start practicing with the team until after week 4. And I think that's ok. Yeah. That’s realistic. I doubt Tre will be back to 100% this season. He can still round back into very good though. No need to rush him. Healthy for the playoffs is what’s most important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, BillsFanSD said: Seriously guys, we didn't lose that game to New England because of just one thing. If it had simply been a very windy day and that was all, we would have won. If our run defense just had a bad day at the office and that was all, we would have won. If Daboll slapped the handcuffs on our best offensive player and that was all, we would have won. It took all of those things to manufacture a loss to an inferior opponent. (I do really mean "inferior opponent" by the way. It brings me lots of joy to say this, but there is a very large talent gap between us and New England, as our subsequent back-to-back no-punt blowouts showed.) That game was just a deeply weird game where lots of things went wrong and we still had chances to pull it out in the fourth quarter. Blaming it on just one thing misses out on how many things had to go sideways for us to take that loss. Agreed the Bills as a team overall did not show up for the game against NE and at Jacksonville. And yet we were one play away from winning both games. Edited August 31, 2022 by ganesh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: Yes. Every team has holes in depth, as you pointed out with the Rams…. The Bills depth is extremely lopsided in favor of the defense..I’m not a fan of that approach considering this teams success rides with the offense and Josh putting up points. JMO. It's 3 holes on the entire line. You would be calling for Beane's head if that was a Bills depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 I’m really bummed about Tre. Not that he’s not ready, as a PUP-er, he can’t even practice for the 4 weeks. Perhaps the brass was as hopeful as I was, having stated several times ‘he’s on course, he’s looking very good, we’re just waiting on the med staff to give us the OK’. Now? It seems we won’t see him til at least after the Bye -missing ALL of what’s considered the toughest part of our schedule.

GunnerBill Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 7 hours ago, No_Matter_What said: Agreed. I asked about this couple posts earlier. Doesn't make sense based on everything we heard during camp. Backup center, looked like lock, injury was supposed to be minor. Really curious what is going on. I suppose he could be a "wait in the car park" deal if Doyle is going on IR today but the fact he wasn't at practice yesterday makes me think maybe not. 7 hours ago, Motorin' said: Same, who's the backup C?

UKBillFan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Day after the night before (in the U.K. at least) and still baffled by a handful of the choices. I guess we’ll have to see how the next couple of days pan out with pick up free agents and those on waivers but the cutting of Howard and Mancz bothers me the most, as they’re better than who we have kept - not that that’s saying much in terms of Howard! I’m hopeful than Mancz might be down to roster tinkering so we can put someone on IR, and we’ll sign him back today; or at least get another Centre through the door. Same, if I’m honest, at TE. Dodson’s social media post, if legitimate, may be unprofessional but it appears accurate for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
