I hope he’s not spreading COVID

Go, Jake Fromm State Farm. I hope he does well.

McKenzie. But I would love to see them both score a TD today, or I'll trade a TD by Kumerow for a forced or recovered fumble on Special Teams today. If that happens, Bills win!

Happy Game Day, TBD! I hope you have a great day-after-Christmas, eating left-overs, cleaning up the wrapping paper, enjoying the day with your family who are getting close to staying too long, and, of course, watching your Bills clobber the Patriots! Heck, if the Bills win, we may even invite the family to stay an extra day or two. GO BILLS!

Bummer, I was really looking forward to seeing what Bobby Hart could do. I heard he’s started a lot of NFL games. 😜

Is this a clue? Is this the week we activate our secret weapon?

That is what I wanted last week, but apparently Bates is not a good option there. Really? Can he be any worse than Brown was? At least with this, everything else is relatively normal.

Merry Christmas, all. My son and daughter-in-law from Vermont are with us. She's a Patriots fan and has been wearing Pats gear around the house. There will be charoal in her stocking this morning.

Hard to imagine Hart at LT, but I guess we’ll go with it. …. And if so, what does that say about what the Coaches think about Bates or Doyle? Yikes.

While I hate that any are out, I actually am not that worried about the WR position. Our back-ups are solid there. The bigger issue is Ford, if no Dawkins or Feliciano, our o-line is getting very thin. …. Bates, Doyle, opportunity and time to step up and produce.

Merry Christmas, to all on TBD. What we need today is a Christmas miracle: News that Dawkins and Feliciano have been cleared and are off the COVID naughty list. Come on Santa, get it done!

Alway love your positive perspective. And, Merry Christmas, Ebenezer.

Tommy Doyle or Ryan Bates

I see the Bills player and Mafia with a lot of complaints about the national media, and pro-bowl voters, disrespecting them. That may be true, but when you're 8-6, you have given those disrespectors all the evidence they need to do so. In all this, the only people to blame is ourselves. Lossing to Jacksonville, lossing three games (Tenn, NE, TB) where you had the ball inside the 10 yard line with a chance to win in the last minute of the game--and not doing it, laying an egg against the Steelers on opening day, and being blown-out by the Colts on your home field. I know we don't want to hear this, but we have earned that disrepsect. The bottom-line, the ONLY thing that will change their minds, WINS! Win on Sunday, and WIN the next 2 Sundays, and a few WINS after that, and all that will change. Just WIN baby, just WIN!

Thanks for the detailed work Watkins. I like and generally agree with your "odds" list at the end. With so many of theses teams facing each other over the next three weeks, this could go is all kinds of directions. So, just win Bills, just win. Win 3 - Division champs, 2-1 probably a 7 seed in the playoffs, 1-2 nope!

100% agree!

fixed, thanks

Well, he had severe symptoms last time. I hope not, but does that indicate he is more susceptible to it? Is he the teammate that Beasley was referring to being in the hospital? Again, I do hope not. But past performance (past reaction) is an indicator; he may be walloped by it again?

How valiable is Lamar Jackson? His back-up is putting up even better numbers than him. Hmmmm? The entire system is bonkers: The first sign of lack on any credibility to it - It's done with almost 20% of the season still to be played. And for most teams, the most important games of the season. I would think the performance over the next tree weeks might be the most important measurement? Also, it may be before the last four games, when was the vote taken?

Apparently he's a Pro-Bowl player now, so that is news. But somehow we missed that here at TBD, when did his play this season merit this recognition?

I would say he is less targeted becasue he can't get open, other then when he finds holes in zone coverage, do you ever see him getting seperation?

I think the David Nelson comparison is a good one. If he plays, I hope he produces like Nelson did. He was not spectacualer, but reliable and productive.

I'm really not a Sanders hater, but I think the evidence suggest that Gabe Davis is the more productive reciever for the Bills. And, I think McKenzie is a far better option in the slot than Sanders. McKenzie is a reliable pass-cather, and he is a much bigger threat for YAC. Sanders can be a good situational #4 guy, but I think his days as a productive starter are behind him.

Maybe just a glass of inexpensive wine to help us sleep better. Save the champagne for the really big moments, like after the win this coming Sunday.

Well, this was such a big part of the news last game. From The Weather Channel, conditions look good for Sunday:
