They’ll be fine assuming the offense puts up points. They did. Playing against Mac Jones x3, Darnold, Zack Wilson, the offenseless falcons. Then they couldn’t stop the same offense that they shut down earlier in the season with Tre….. to end the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykidsdad Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 This sucks, but I have no worries about our DBs. None. This staff can pick and coach DBs. No question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 It's worrying but the only way I see it being a major problem is if the reconfigured D line isn't able to get after the QB at all. Elam will give up his fair share of catches but he'll also make a lot of pass breakups in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what we drafted Elam for. So long as he has safety help, he should be fine.

Lots of 6-12 yard catches and trying to take away the big plays. Going to be very frustrating to watch That pretty much describes a lot of the Bills philosophy on defense anyway. That’s the case with or without White. There will be some differences but they’re not an attacking style defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern bills Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 56 minutes ago, Playoffs? said: correct… against the Panthers (forgot who was playing QB), the Patriots (Mac), the Falcons (Matty Ice Statue), the Jets (ha!), and the Patsies again. Then we got to a good team, with a good QB and good WR’s…. And they put up 42 on us. Week 1 is Stafford, Kupp, and Robinson… Like I said, I hope my gut feel is wrong! So do you feel we should have signed a veteran just because of the first game, or are you also concerned about games 2-4? While I do think the Rams are a different problem than the next 3-4 games I am not sure it was worth the cap dollars to get someone who would have wanted to start all year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, completely trash the guys doing the team building because they didn't sign "insert washed up veteran" and are going with what they see in front if them, and of course Tre back by week 5-8. Why trust the only GM/HC that has brought a winner to WNY in some time. Take it easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 We've known that this situation with White could linger into the season, instead of wasting money on a bum TE like O.J. Howard we could have re-signed Levi Wallace, he isn't perfect by any means but we're in a SB window with 2 rookie corners and Dane Jackson. There were plenty of options during the season to sign 1 or 2 in FA, even when Tre returns he's missed a ton of football and may need the season just to get back to football form let alone elite form. If Elam plays at an all pro level then awesome, we dodged a bullet there but if not it's going to be an issue for sure. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Dane Jackson has looked great - and a 1st rounder should be able to start on day 1. This is how depth gets built. You can have good players waiting in the wings - but they also need experience. Hopefully, this will serve the Bills better down the home stretch & in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the little emoji buttons in the bottom right hand corner of this post, it looks like the current score is 22 people that disagree in some way or another, 1 person that agrees. Safe to say that yours is a minority opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostwriter Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I really hope they nurse this as long as possible and focus on the long term. Keep him out 6, 8 weeks if they have to, do it the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 This is why I expect us to dial up more pressure this year early on. It’s time for the offense and that DL to shine to start the year. Let’s start a week from Thursday and put 35 on the Champs with 3-4 sacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good question.. and definitely a reason why I’m not an NFL GM! To answer your question, I’m definitely concerned about 2-4, and then beyond if Tre is out longer or not back to his health/game. But my concern is more an uncertainty fear… we’re asking a ton out of some inexperienced players. Don’t know that there’s a great solution… just hope we can apply some massive pressure on D, and the offense puts up big points. Would love nothing more than to see these rookies shut it down on D though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
