Evaluated but never ruled in concussion protocol which is weird to me. But I think the Bills were never less than a 7 point lead so they might have wanted to play it safe. EDIT: Now in concussion protocol

Pretty much. Blowout wins against the Lions, Niners and Dolphins. Split with the Browns. It seems that, like the Bills, they will play down to opponents a bit but all loses came to teams who had winning records. Of their losses all but one came from inside their division and division games are flukey. (See Bills, Buffalo 2023) and the only reason why they lost their last game was that they ran out their backups in a monsoon vs a Steelers team that was desperate. Now, I will never discount the possibility of Playoff Lamar showing up but this has been the best receiving group he's ever had. For note: here are his numbers.

Your info was spot on last time. If Bernard is high ankle he's probably out at least two weeks. Waddle was pushing it when he came back that early. I am hoping it's a less serious one, but even then it portends well to a September 2024 return. Any word in your sources about Rasul Douglas?

Look, they have a chance. But legitimately: The Ravens have been playing impressive football. They smashed the Niners and Dolphins offenses which were supposed to be the most explosive in the league. Now, I have my issues with those teams QBs but they are playing fantastic zone defense which unless you are Tom Brady is tough to beat. The Ravens are experienced. Lamar might not have the best playoff track record, but he has a track record. Stroud is having an incredible rookie year, but he's still a rookie. The Browns were just waiting for the wheels to come off. They ran what, 5 starting QBs? Joe Flacco had a great run, but his entire MO has been stretches of elite play followed by a few dismal weeks (not unlike Josh). Houston was doing well, but the game didn't get out of hand until 2 back to back pick sixes. Ravens are rested coming off a bye and are at home. I'm not saying it's impossible. But it's a tall order.

*shudders* That possibility is horrifying. It's like seeing a chthonian monster looking like the Creature From the Black Lagoon rise up out of the waters of Lake Erie and hearing an old salt going "Oh good, they sent the nice one this time"

Ensure that his contract is as guaranteed as Desean Watson

Sprain is good news for Bernard. Average recovery time for a lateral ankle sprain is 6.5 days so I think there is an outside chance he gets shot up with painkillers Sunday. More likely, he might be available if the Bills manage to hold off KC.

That's if she actually comes, which I have my doubts on

And to be fair, the Ravens hit on Lamar at pick 32. But it's like buying scratch offs: you never know what you are going to get, the most expensive give you the best odds. That said, here is what the Bills had to effectively give up to take their swing on Josh at 7: The 21st overall pick. The 53rd overall pick. The 56th overall pick. Cordy Glenn Now of course, the two QBs ahead of him were Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold and we know how that worked out.

I know. But that hasn't stopped every talking head to say that Diggs will be traded. Maybe some other franchise is dumb enough

Yeah, I suspected. Even as a non-Eagles fan he was a fun guy, and he was an absolute delight to watch 6 years ago when they won the playoffs. He and his brother have more charisma than the Mannings. The league is lessened by his departure. Will they trade him to the Bills? Pretty please?

AJ and who else?

Very much. Do the people here know who were there oooh and ahhhhing about in the playoffs in 2021? Gabe Davis. This is the kind of thing a player can do when they are 3rd/4th on the receiving threat list. Full time #2 would be an issue. Shakir is fantastic, I still think we need to spend a high draft pick out an outside WR

but enough of the in game refreshments, what is the medical protocol going to be?!?

Maybe, but they are going to need to face a harsh reality: The only way they are going to get over the hump is a franchise QB. They won't draft high enough to get a solid one with Tomlin giving them a winning record out of mediocre talent. No coach or player decides they want to tank. There's too much on the line for their resume That's a front office choice. Things will likely need to get worse before they get better. And we know how bad that can be.

Is Taylor available? I think Hailee might have words though...

I have defended Gabe to an extent, but the offense didn't miss a beat. Moving on in free agency is the easiest off-season decision apart from "hey do you want to backload/extend Josh's contact?"

Getting a lot of use out of this tonight

Me or Pickens? 😝

I would say the calls went far more in Pitt's direction

"So would you say they dropped the ball as edgediously as you did?"

You know somehow that was avoided! I am shocked! /s

I was there with you. So credit where credit is due. McDermott righted the ship and today we saw Playoff Josh again and it was beautiful.
