BUF defense banged up 

Post#1 » by jwa1107 » Wed Oct 3, 2007 2:50 pm

DAL averages 440 yards and 38 points per game.
BUF allows 430 yards and 23 points per game.

DE Ryan Denney out with a broken foot
LB Keith Ellison out with sprained ankle
LB Coy Wire out with knee injury
CB Jason Webster out with broken arm
SS Ko Simpson out with broken ankle
LB Paul Posluszny out with broken arm
CB Ashton Youboty questionable with leg injury
FS Jim Leonard questionable with leg injury


these injuries are a big part of why they are 1-3

and that doesn't even begin to touch on the offensive side and the QB controversy there...

I really hope this team is better at not underestimating opponents than me. I smell victory.

According to some stuff ive read

News: The Bills are likely to be without Youboty for this week's game against the Cowboys, according to The Buffalo News. The second-year corner suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Spin: The Bills have an adequate replacement in Jabari Greer, so there's not much of a letdown there. But if Youboty can't go, it hurts the overall depth of an already depleted defense, especially when you consider they're up against one of the NFL's best passing offenses, one that has multiple receiving threats.

News: Leonhard (calf) will likely miss this week's Monday night game against the Cowboys, The Buffalo News reports.

Spin: This is more bad news for the Bills' defense, which has already suffered losses at most positions. Leonhard is already replacing injured starter Ko Simpson, who was lost for the season.


So it sounds like those 2 are out (though still listed as Q). Leonhard will be a big loss for them if hes out, he started out good, in the first two weeks he had 20 tackles and 2 INTs, hes had only 10 tackles and no INTs in the past two weeks, though hes faced NE and the Jets (who cant throw the ball deep which leads me to believe his tackles are more downfield than in the box, i could be wrong though). Either way, thats one less weapon out there for them.

But as was mentioned, this game is more about taking them serious than anything. Maybe it'll help being Wade Phillips first return to Buffalo as a head coach? You know he definitely wants to win that.

Unless there is a complete meltdown, I don't see how the Cowboys lose this game.

Hopefully, they take care of business in the first half and let the reserves play some in the fourth.

Getting out of this game with a win and good health is what I am looking for.

When was the last time we were able to sit our starting QB late in games for three games in a row?

Chalk up another injury for them, though this ones on offense,
Peerless The Price is Wrong Bitch is out for the year after neck surgery. Im not saying he was a threat but he was a starter for them (i guess that actually explains alot).

I remember when we brought him in a couple years back, I thought hed be somewhat good but turned out to be complete garbage. Idno what the hell happened to that guy?

Actually, i just looked it up, i forgot the dropoff happened when he went to ATL for money. Vick nearly killed his career. He hasnt been the same since. Speaking of big money to go to the falcons, that messed up Ed Hartwell too.
