We know more about concussions now, and what know is that like any injury a concussion takes time to heal. Mitch likely is going to need at least a month to heal his head. I wouldn't be shocked if he decides to, hang it up after 2020. Maybe because of his contract he tries to play one more year. Hoping just for his health this is a "mild" concussion and they put him on the bench for a few weeks and he is good to go.

I think this team will likely not have Mitch come back until after the bye at the earliest. Hopefully Ford can come back and fill in at LG. Loved what I saw from Mongo but Mitch being hurt was a real kick in the pants

Bills will either go 4-4 or 5-3 to end the season. Likely losses against Seattle and the Steelers. Toss ups against the 49ers and Cardinals and 4 games the Bills should be favored in against the Broncos, Chargers, Pats and Fins. If the Bills can split the toss up games, and take care of 3 out of 4 if the favored games that puts them at 10-6 and likely good enough to win the division and certainly good for a spot in the expanded playoffs. Getting a spli in the next 2 games is critical. Got to hit 8-3 in my opinion to set the team up for a good stretch run and clinch playoffs and possibly the division before week 17.

The issue isn't pressure the issue is Ed is getting run over in the ground game because he is playing out of position most of the time. I think he can be an impactful player at the 3 tech but he isn't doing anyone favors at the 1. The Trail Blazers took Sam Bowie...

I would like to see how well Oliver and Edumonds would perform if the defense adds a true one tech. Edumonds played a lot better last season once Star got it going and the team added Lugiet. Oliver is playing out of position at the one tech on freaking rushing downs. This team needs to get a true one tech DT because the lack of one is making both players worse.

Josh looked mediocre in the two losses against the Chiefs and Titans but I don't see too much cause for concern against the Jets and Pats. In the Jets game Josh and the offense didn't punt and put up over 400 yards. They just uncharacteristically struggled in the redzone. The Pats game was bad weather and the ground game took over. Josh only threw 18 times. He did pretty solidly in those attempts outside of the INT that wasn't on him. Overall I think Josh is growing into an elite QB, he is learning to how teams will adjust to his strengths and what to do against a blitz. The defense is the big worry at this point

Josh took what the Jets gave him and carved them up he just struggled in the redzone uncharacteristically. The pats game was awful weather conditions and a great ground game going. I don't see any reason why Josh couldn't adjust to taking what a defense is giving him against a soft zone.

The defense was good for 2 halfs and mediocre for two halfs against two of the worst offenses in the league. If this team wants to contend they need to add a piece to the defense. It's going to get ugly against better teams.

Poe isn't a true one tech and hasn't played well this season. I think this team desperately needs a trade they got gashed on the ground against the Pats and in the first half against the Jets these aren't world beating teams. Overall if the front office can't trade for a true one tech or get one off the street they will have failed this team gravely. A true one tech wouldn't solve all the defensive issues but it would help solve the biggest one.

Tomlinson solves a lot. He is a low cap hit, shouldn't cost more than a 4th and is on the last year of his deal and the Giants have no reason to not trade him and sign him back. Overall the fir is there for both sides

If the offense can get Ford, Mitch, and Brown healthy and get the ground game going with Moss and Singletary they can win a shootout with anyone. It's the defense that is 3 to 4 pieces away. I am steeply concerned with the defense even if they add a true one tech they are still several pieces away although a true one tech would be a massive help.

He had a linemen and a full back meet him at full steam at the second level. I dont think there was much he could have done on that play. Honestly you probably could pick better plays to crap on Edumonds but this one was a failure on the dline.

Once the Pats got hit with the Covid opt outs I don't think anyone was laughing at that prediction.

Miami will win 8 or 9 games. I think Tua will have his growing pains and the defense isn't good enough to carry him consistently. But they will keep the Bills "honest" and be unable to run away with the Division.

This team needs a true one tech, it's the one move the Bills can make affordably and it would at least give them a shot to play at least effective run defense. The Jags on 2017 were a great defense but succeptible to getting run on up the middle. They then traded for Dareus and it got better to the point where they got to bet a better than average rush defense by years end. Overall it is rather stupid of the Bills don't make a move there. Trade a 4th for Delvin Tomlinson. Cheap cap wise and just a rental on the last year of his rookie deal. He is a very good run stuffer who can either be brought back to rotate with Star or just let walk in free agency.

My hope is the Bills at least clinch a playoff game. If the Bills enter that game 10-5 and Miami 9-6 and it's just for the Division for the Bills I will be confident but thankful the Bills will at least be playing the week after.

I would say C. Great second half but a suspect first half. At a minimum the Bills should have had a 10 point lead in the first half with the ball to start half two. But this team just couldn't put much together other than the one TD drive and then the one other time the offense got deep it resulted in a turnover.

The run defense will only massively or at least significantly improve if the Bills get a true one tech by Tuesday. The team is getting gutted up the middle over and over again.

Take what the defense is giving you, the offense played well in the second half the defense in the first half. A win is a win, hopefully the Bills can get going against the Seahawks which should be a shootout

Bills need to not have that game matter hopefully enter that game with 10 or 11 wins and Miami enters in with 8. I think getting a split in the next 2 games is critical. If the Bills can get to 7-3 going into that very winnable Chargers game then I think the Bills can get to 11 wins. Looking ahead of you split the next 2 and win against the Chargers you are sitting at 8-3. You have a toss up game against the 49ers and a tough game against the Steelers. You split those and you sit at 9-4 going into a pair of favorable games against the Broncos and Pats. You win those you get to 11-4 and then you have the Fins.

The defense came out good in the first half. Only allowed 6 points and probably only should have given up 3. But the offense failed to get that 2 posession lead and then the defense struggled in the second half giving up 15 and easily could have given up 3 to 7 more had they not made the big play. Overall the offense did bailout the defense yet again but this team needs to play more complementary football. The Bills should have had a 10 to 14 point lead going into the second half. The defense should have held up better while the offense was rolling. This game shouldn't have come down to a late turnover. But that being said Josh got them the lead late and the defense came up with the big play when needed. They got fat going into a tough 2 game stretch.

He knew he was going to have to try something to get his team going. I think he had more faith in the Bills defense than he should have or he was just not sure if Josh could be stopped by his defense.

The defense is 3-4 pieces away from being a contending defense. They need a true one tech, better LB play, a dominant edge rusher, and a CB opposite Tre. The Bills don't have the cap space nor assets to make a trade for all the parts needed. However I think even just getting a true one tech would help and not be inexpensive. Just adding one more piece to the defense would help. They can get healthy and coach up a bit more during the bye in a few weeks but they need to find a one tech to help out.

I thought the defense would hold them to a FG but that turnover was huge, so many times the Bills don't get that big clutch play when they need it. Today they got the clutch play and came out with the W. It was far too close. The offense couldn't get that 2 or 3 posession lead in the first half and the defense couldn't shut the door in the second half. But a Win is a win baby.

The defense was outright awful in the second half but they made the big play when it mattered most. Frustrating because the defense played well in the first half giving up just a pair of field goals. But the offense put up 17 bailing out the defense who gave up 15 and needed a turnover deep to bailout from the game being tied.
