Help me understand the Bill's woes for upcoming game.

**alienstar** · 09-05-2016, 07:46 PM

I've been googling. I've been on the Buffalo Bills forum. I'm just not finding the 'great' dirth of injuries and suspensions I hear of on RSR.

Could someone post a list.

Btw, I'm glad this one is at home. We get this, and I see no worse than 5-1 after the first 6, and lean towards 6-0.

Taylor is no joke. I watched him closely and I firmly believe his legacy of winning (going back to Va. Tech), will continue. He will get a playoff game in his career at least. I think we take Buffalo at home however on the 11th.

Still, what are all the injuries and suspensions ?

Marcel Dareus (Starting DL) suspended. Reggie Ragland (2nd round pick, expected to be major contributor) on IR, Shaq Lawson (first round pick, also expected to be major contributor) will miss at least six weeks.

IK Emempali is also out for the year. That's 5 major players in their front 7 including their best defensive player who is Dareus. Last year the Bills defense wasn't that good. There was a huge focus in getting players to fix it this offseason. Later this season when Dareus and Lawson come back they're going to get a huge lift but we are definitely playing them at the right time

That's a good link. I forgot about Aaron Williams

By the way if anyone wants to see another team with similar problems check out the Steelers. They have a lot of personnel issues to deal with

Rex will find a way to play with the hand he's dealt.

Scheme can only do so much. Rex needed capable players to man his defense and he doesn't have those guys.

Agreed. Rex knows how to get the most out of his bench.

Marcel Dareus- Suspended
Reggie Ragland- IR
Shaq Lawson- Out
Aaron Williams- Still going through Concussion protocol
IK Emempali- IR

That's five of their eleven defensive starters and four of their front seven guys.

I went to the Jets game and Rex had all his D-line studs with Ed Reed patrolling deep (and watching Jacoby catch a Flac-bomb on him. Didn't help. I personally believe Harbs has his number.

PFT just came out with their power rankings. They put the Bills at #29. I'm not much into power rankings but I do happen to agree that the Bills just aren't a good team right now.
