Starters Playing Versus Bills

Including Best...probably only a series or two. Any thoughts. Like/Dislike?
 
Yeah. I'm okay with that. I don't like starters not getting any game reps from preseason 3 until regular season game 1.
 
I'm okay with it...I don't know if it's necessary, but if that's what Schwartz and Co. want to do that's fine with me. I guess that makes me the '/' between Like/Dislike.
 
15 days between the Patriots game and the Bucs game. One series (or more, if they go by quickly) should be good enough.
 
No one has touched Stafford till the Pats game, so no one will touch him in this game either. I'm not worried at all, get some solid reps and then let Stanton and Robinson take over
 
Offense:
Id sit Stafford...nothing to prove there.

Best get him reps....need to see if this kid can survive a half let alone a series.

Titus, he needs work and to get used to game speed.

Oline...fuck em...they need the work. Start em all.

Defense:
Dline....i actually want to see Lojack, Young and Sammie Lee Hill against a number 1 Oline and see how much pressure they can put on the qb.

Still need to make some decision in the D backfiled. McDonald, Berry etc etc. With Houston and Wright being slightly hurt and a "battle" for the nickel spot going on. Id just assume start Berry and McDonald and see who has a better game against the better competition.
 
I'd rather see the starters sitting. There's nothing to prove. Why risk injury?

I want to see the rookies and the undrafted FA's out there. It's a chance i wouldn't take...it's pointless.
 
I think its more of a rust factor. Granted I don't expect them to play more than 3-4 downs if they do start.
 
I'd rather most of the starters sit this one out. Preferably, they do everything they would leading up to the game but just didn't play in the actual game. They did what they set out to do against NE. The OL should play and work on trying to open up some holes. Other than that I'd like to see these guys as healthy as possible come week 1 when these games actually count.
 
Dareus and Kyle Williams on that DL is a solid, young duo. Dareus looks Wilfork wide in terms of size.
 
I'd play the starting o-line just to get Backus more acclimated, but I don't see any reason to play the rest. If we come out of the game without injuries to any key players then it looks fine, but if one does get hurt it'll end up looking like a horrendous decision that Schwartz would be crucified for. Risky.

Sure did. Liked their pick. I think Fitzpatrick has a decent enough year so that the Bills don't lose to get a part of the Luck sweepstake. I have no problem being bottom 3 as long as they get a good pick.

But since you like wins and it's your only indicator (apparently 17-18 wins means Verlander is good).....Bills beat the Lions, therefore Lions aren't better than the Bills. Sucks when your own arguments are used against you.

the good news is top 3 picks are cheap now! Unlike our top 3 picks which will bankrupt us
