HappyDays Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 How can they keep their listed starting PR inactive? Maybe he suddenly got nicked up in pre-game warmups? Otherwise I don't understand that move at all. It's also very disappointing that we're 3 seasons in to the Tommy Sweeney failed experiment and he is still somehow our #2 TE on gameday. A totally useless player wasting an active gameday spot. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm not gonna lie, I'm worried about this game. McVay coached rings around McD and Frazier in the second half last time. He made an adjustment with the pre-snap motion that the Bills LB's ALWAYS reacted to the same way and just ran a counter into the vacated space for chunks all day. Bills coaches are great on culture and execution for the most part but they aren't master strategerists like McVay. Bills can still win, I sure hope so, but not a stretch to see them lose.

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I’m a bit surprised. Loved what Shakir has shown to date. I kinda felt like they would try to find ways to get him involved whether returning kicks. I mean he looked totally calm and collected out there in preseason and had a knack of getting open and making plays I hope they are not overthinking this..

CapeBreton Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Only reason to scratch Shakir is if he’s hurt. Had a spectacular camp and pre season and is rewarded with being inactive week 1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Bills can win or lose. The Bills will lose some this year just like every team in the league will lose some. This may or may not be one of those. We still won the game that McVay coached rings around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It is possible they plan on running the ball a lot tonight. Shakir didn't look good in run blocking duties in preseason. I wasn't expecting him to get a lot of snaps on offense tonight, if any. Still he is supposedly the starting PR so that part of it makes no sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 We have Josh Allen guys. Stop over thinking this. The Bills arent going to become the Titans. This is a passing team. They will pass the football. They didnt pay Josh Allen a 1/4 billion to hand the ball off to Moss. Sure, we may not pass every single down but we shouldnt. This team needs some balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I am a little disappointed not to see shakir active tonight, but I think crowder is being soooooooo under valued by fans. I expect the offense to be more balanced this year, but Allen still has plenty of weapons at his disposal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this is just a matchup thing and I also expect that a pass catching back is going to be important to what Dorsey wants to do and thats why they drafted Cook in the first place. I thought Spector would be inactive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The panic and confusion over Shakir being inactive are funny to me. He looked good in preseason, sure, but he’s a fifth round rookie. His time will come. Any time the Bills activate all their running backs, they’ll likely deactivate either Shakir or Crowder. Crowder gets the jersey now as the sturdy vet. Over time, he’ll likely yield snaps to Shakir. R-E-L-A-X 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tonight I would love to see a Three and Out from our D to start. Get to Stafford, Make him uncomfortable, maybe a Sack. Establish that we are here to play, Hit Hard, set the tone. The last thing I want to see is the Rams establish a long drive, runs being broken. Linebackers a step behind the Receivers on crossing routes.. Last year we had a lot of Bend but not break drives . I want that to change. I wonder how much Knowledge Von was able to convey to our staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 With actual 3 RB's active likely going to have one less WR and/or TE all season. So get use to it. Likely decided to go with the experienced hand tonight and keep Crowder active instead of Shakir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
