Sean McDermott drops a hint about Sunday’s plan for Bills starters

[fugawzi]

“Via Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network, Bills coach Sean McDermott said Thursday morning on WGR radio that it “remains yet to be seen and determined” whether the Bills will use their starters on Sunday. Here’s the hint that McDermott may have dropped: He said that the Bills will do what’s best for “our team and our players.”

I think just whoever is in the report even if just probable will suit up but not play. That's it, whoever really needs the rest they'll give it to them but we're still playing up against Allen and Diggs.

So he handled the question the same way Flo would have.

 

[where's th'fish]

Not much of a clue.

I still say there is no way in hell McDermott risks his key players when Pittsburgh has already said they are resting theirs. There is little to nothing to gain and a crap ton to lose. I could see them playing a series of two, maybe. However, I've been wrong before.

I could see him pulling key guys after the 1st quarter or 1st half...or if the game is not close in either direction

Yeah it’s a smokescreen. He won’t be starting with a few players including JA

Don’t play your starters Sean, our players may have covid LOL. Bench all of them.

IIRC last year Buffalo was in a similar situation. I think they had locked up the WC slot. That time McDermott started with Allen, but he only threw something like 5 passes( actually I looked it up 3/5 5 yards). I think the plan was probably to keep the same schedule, routine, but take them out early to avoid injury.

How is that him dropping a hint?

 

[daryl]

Does he want to expose his starters to a team that now has one, and probably more positive COVID players? Is just tell my starters to stay home in bubble wrap.

How is that him dropping a hint?

The Dolphins just need to play their game and don't worry as to who is starting and is not for the Bills. Play 60 minutes and kick butt in all three phases of the game. They need to control their path. Fins Up with Fire!

I was listening to the Buffalo radio station about ten minutes ago and their beat reporter Sal Capaccio seems pretty convinced that Josh Allen won’t play much if at all.

Hopefully this is like preseason game #1 for them. Offense plays a possession or 2
