Josh Allen needed an X-Ray after the game against the Dolphins. Looks like he may have some injury to his throwing hand. Gonna have to keep an eye on that

Injuries look to play a big part heading into this week already.

OT is obviously the big one. Ideally Ronnie is back and willing to give it a go, but might need to elevate Sharpe regardless just to have some extra cover.

DL is buoyed by Pierce's injury. Sounds like he's going to miss time regardless. You could conceivably get by with 5 DL but they could want Mack up to provide some NT cover. Not a pure NT by any stretch but filled the role admirably last year.

OLB is still a disaster. JPP might have to play on a short week already. Houston is probably as questionable as it gets right now. You'd think Copeland will be back up and could go to the 53 as a vet that can be released later if/when needed.

And clearly they've liked Webb on ST so will never count him out now.

Luckily we still have a solid amount of roster flexibility so doing all of those moves wouldn't be prohibitive if we wanted to. Just expecting a lot of movement this week.

When he loses to Lamar, the media will latch on to that narrative like bees to honey. Just watch.

Hamilton is contributing
Linderbaum is quietly dominanting
Ojabo doesn't exist yet
Travis Jones is in for a big role going forward
Stout has been solid
Likely has a real role
Kolar doesn't exist yet
JAD looks like trash but it's early
Pepe looks like he could have Tavon Young upside but it's early
Faalele looks to have real upside
Badie is on the PS :|

If Ojabo comes in and is a good player, this will be an extremely good draft class.

I like the newly found optimism, it looks good on you.

Cheers!

If there was ever a game for Stanley to come back to, this is it.

The Ravens apparently are ready for him to play and the ball is in his court. We'll see when he comes around.

yep - von miller's lurking on the horizon this week and as well as faalele played on sunday von miller's a different kettle of fish to deatrich wise jr and matthew judon

and mekari's got a low-ankle sprain which is a positive outcome, but not sure he'll be able to go this week - if he can that would be great given that he's notably been a von miller killer in the past albeit tough to imagine he could do that while hobbled

would be massive if ronnie's able to go this week

LT obviously not ideal but it will be what it'll be, if it's faalele, we'll have a plan for that, if it's mekari, we'll have a plan for that and if it's stanley we'll have a plan for that - like it's concerning but not a big deal trying to work out what we're going to do at the position (and i also would fully expect sharpe to be elevated if stanley's not ready to go - maybe even if he is ready to go depending on how mekari's feeling)

EDGE is the one where ive got no idea - the fact that Copeland's likely to be a starter on the edge is ridiculous but realistic - JPP will obviously help but have no idea what we'll get out of him in his first week of practice in nearly a year

im not worried about DL right now - it's obviously frustrating that if pierce is down for the year it massively impacts our NT depth but it's not like we're devoid of talent across the DL, just will take a hit at NT and will be a big chance for travis jones to get rolling with significant snaps

Sadly I don’t feel like he’s coming back anytime soon. Week 8 or 9 would be my gut feeling.

It sounds like the heat in Miami cooked the Bills' brains. They ran 50 more plays and outgained the phins by 280 yards. Expect a pissed off, well prepared team in Bmore.

Bold prediccy:
Von Miller doesn’t do shit. Greg Roman puts on a master class in protecting your rookie LT and a combination of faalele, ricard, and dobbins make absolute light work of Von Miller who’s gonna have to ice up after the game

we will also run right at him and let that 500 lbs beat the crap out of Von Miller.

Apparently the weather is going to be horrible this weekend. Lamar doesn't usually play well in the rain. Maybe the rain can help equalize the pass rush by bringing the Bills down. I don't think our pass rush could be worse lol
