Bubble wrap till playoffs

yep, the injury excuse is not an excuse unless it’s a franchise qb. and even then, sometimes you beat an more talented team in SB 25.

Last Jets game. We have all our backups in all game with the 1 seed. I don't think we go backup against the Eagles even if we have the 1 seed at that point.

did he say when/how the injury happened?

please post this advice after the season, or never !

I think the hard practice was yesterday, and the walk through today. That said, I'm not sure what a walk through is in the NFL. I envision it literally walking through plays (you are here, you are there, etc) to ensure everyone on the same page.

Happy BDay!

Oliver had a rediculous game, it overshadowed Bosa's good, but not great, game. Our starting DL should be very good. as the rookies come along, I think Sanders will be an above-average player this year with room to continue growing. Would love a big run stopper, perhpas at the trade deadline, although any D weakness appears to be in the secondary.

but the refs would NOT let the spot stand. It was an incredibly poor spot, and with McD right there, he should have challanged it. That was a terrible no challange by McD. We needed that first down then, and worst case it's a timeout. Instead, we rush a poor 3rd down play, get a false start, punt.

this puts us in a great spot for the 1 seed. The Bills have the easiest schedule of the "big 3" of Buffalo, Balt and KC.

unlikely, because he'd still be on his way to the endzone it's like Brady realized it was no longer preseason in the 4th quarter. not sure why he kept calling runs up the middle routinely on 2nd and 3rd down against the Ravens D. Dalton and Knox both played really well I thought. And it was nice seeing Dalton look more like himself rather than the injured shell last year.

100% agree. While he's not a "game wrecker" that you need to double, or "account for" the way Garrett, Watt, etc. are, he is a huge upgrade and him and Groot are a great pair.

either. But agree, Rapp was horrid last night.

Without the Ravens calling bizzare plays (running Flowers), we likely don't have the ability to come back given that our D was incapable of stopping Lamar or Henry on the ground, or even Lamar in the air. On the flip side, we did a LOT of work to win that game and won all the battles we could. End result: victory. Interestingly during the dought years, and even after (13 seconds, last year KC), I feel like we came out on the Raven's end a lot.

yeah, their roster is STOCKED. That team still scares me, and I think the Bills know the Ravens are the real deal, so I don't sence any cockyness from our group. Interestingly, while Mark Andrews blocked well, he was absent in the passing game. To answer the question, I'd take: Allen, Brown, Benford, and Shakir/Coleman/Palmar over Bateman.

Someone who actually knows the DL better than me: How did our rookie DLmen do in the game (tough assignment with Ravens OL, of course).

yeah, I had more comfort there with Prater than the snapper either snapping too quikcly (thinking he needs to get it out pre clock expiring) or holder. I mean, it's the Bills. Hopefully we don't need him to kick too many FGs this year and he only is getting warmed up with EPs.

The OP is right, spotting has been horrendous. Not sure if this is league wide or not, but the one at the end of the game, even the ref in the booth was saying (in kind words) that the refs really messed up. Also, MCD needed to challange that spot. Almost cost us the game. He was standing right there.

Keon looked like he did pre-injury, and was in the right place at the right time numerous times. Great routes, great hands and ball concentration. Palmar looked great for his first Bills game. Still wish we had a downfield burner, perhaps Moore becomes that. Would like to see more targets downfield early in the game to open everything up.

I was shocked how smooth the whole game-winning FG was. I was worried given how new Pratter was that by rushing onto the field and needing to kick prior to time expiring, the snap would come too early or late for Prater. But everyone did fantastic there.

the whole Ravens last drive was odd. Handing off to Flowers when Henry was crushing our D the entire game. Just weird. Second time in a row the Ravens beat themselves against us.

Losing a Super Bowl to a backup QB and mediocre RB and WR unit, really disappointing.

Ton of joy. Then, win another.

That’s sad. Somewhat young. Great guy from what I’ve heard.

i have it. I believe you can pay upfront.
