Tyler Ennis is trying to do too much. Reinhart looks like he's overwhelmed.
- Sabresfan-365

Crosby and Stamkos, if dropped to their 4th line would be overwhelmed

not saying the skunk is in that category, but he needs to play with skilled players to find his game

Tyrod out 3 weeks? Could play with a brace even if it is 3 one of them is a bye.

Karlos we should know more tomorrow on his timetable. I would expect JAX

Sammy is back this week.

McCoy 5 weeks out? He practiced today and could play if he wanted to but wants to be 100% and will be back after the bye.

Your hockey stats and smarts are pretty good. Stick to that. Football isn't your thing and its ok.

Not. Ready.

Well (frank) me I picked him up because Charles was my running back now I'm freaking scared and of course all the other running backs got taken today
- gerbe75pts



West is the better pick up. Looking for depth see if Andrews fron TEN is available. Also, Christine Michael is expected to get more touches in Dallas but i wouldn't bank on that.

Didn't they try him their originally (with eichel)? It doesn't have to be for the full year. A temp stint in Roch may be all he needs.

He needs to be with skilled guys and bylsma obviously has no interest in doing so (as predicted)

He wouldn't work on the same line with Ennis IMO.
Moulson-ROR-Skunk
Kane-Eichel-Ennis

Run those as your top 2 for a game or 2 and see how he does with the big boys and against top defenders.

That's the key he's not a hundred percent so he's obviously injured and if you saw the report last week it said he was out for 6 weeks karlos is obviously not playing this week

And come on now they're looking for quarterbacks for the London trip and if the bills are smart let him heal and not rg3 him

And who said Sammy Watkins is playing a report came out that he's not playing this week

Karlos may clear this week and play though it may be limited. Sammy was looking good in practice today and so wa McCoy, though he was limited. I understand the Tyrod thing, its a QB they have to be prepared it can go 2 ways. Flacco played with this injury with a brace on and yes i know he is not mobile. So Tyrod COULD start but would not be mobile, I think he would be fine for JAX but that game should be a gimme, so i would imagine anyone who is not 90% will rest. Mccoy, Tyrod, maybe Sammy.

And Rex is just playing mind games he's just trying to scare people like really Taylor is going to play this week? He's not going to show his cards so of course you're going to see Sammy Watkins may play but we all know if that happens will use him as a decoy

Tyrod Taylor says "it's the plan" for him to play Sunday. Says he's working "each and every day to get back to 100 percent."

Even that's not enough time. Sure, you might be able to see some things, but way too small a sample size to make a big judgment like knowing if he's ready for the NHL.

Agreed, Its hard to keep up with the speed of the game when you play with Legwand/D-LO one shift and then KAne/ Eichel the next shift. Two completely different systems

The 5-0 Bengals couldn't care less if its EJ or the guy that threw for 109 last week.

Those two bolded parts should not go together. There is NOTHING so far that any NFL coach should "fear"

The banged-up Buffalo Bills saw a pair of key players return to work on Wednesday.

Running back LeSean McCoy and wideout Sammy Watkins both opened practice with the first-string offense, per Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News.

Along with the duo, quarterback Tyrod Taylor took the session's opening snaps after coach Rex Ryan said Wednesday that he "would not rule out" the signal-caller for Sunday's tilt with the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals.

I agree, but with us switching the lines up so much and trying to build a "team" chemistry, why not let him play with the big boys. I know we as fans would like to see it go on longer than that to see what he can actually do, but like you said as a coach i would only expect them to give him a day or 2 unless he really impressed up there.

The whole team's (frank)in injured that's my point if the bills are smart they won't force guys into a situation that will make him injured even more what Taylor rest up till the Jets game

the fact that taylor, mccoy and watkins were practicing with the first team tells me that w/o a set back they are each going to start sunday

a win this sunday erases the giant loss and puts the bills in position to make a charge for the playoffs


this game is big

Good luck with that.

Even if they do, I picture 2 of the 3 not lasting til halftime - but I just don't see it happening.

This game is big, but putting 3 guys out there who may or may not have healed enough might make for a better record at week 6, but could screw the remaining 10 weeks pretty easily.

he is not running them with the first team if it's not leaning toward them starting

mccoy is not cutting on a hamstring if the goal is to wait til it heals
