[Roberts inactive this week is my prediction...]

44 minutes ago, Hebert19 said:

1.   Love roberts and think he is fantastic at his craft...but he has also made some bonehead decisions the last few weeks that cost us some field position.  

 

2.  Mckenzie showed he can handle punt returns and may actually be more dynamic there.  

 

3.   Tucker can and will boom it into endzone as much as he can with roberts out there so kick returns aren't a huge dynamic this game.  

 

4.   Allows us to activate Stills.  Stills Beasley Diggs Davis and Brown sounds like a nightmare to cover and may take away their desire to blitz.   3 of those guys can score in a second in single coverage and Beasley and Davis are great outlets.  

 

We need weapons here and dressing Stills helps with that even if he just runs go routes 10 or 15 times to make them respect that opposite Brown. 

Wanna bet?  I'll give 'ya good odds!

the only complaint I have was the huge sack.  Was it because he was “Sugar High” Josh and should have just given himself up. 
 

It certainly was not a good play. However, if in a 60 minute playoff game, against a high quality opponent, you feel the need to point out one poor play, no NFL quarterback - not Brady, Mahomes, Rogers or Manning is going to pass your test.

[Pray its the Steelers]

I think this high degree of confidence regarding the Steelers is a really bad take. While our Sunday night victory against them was hard-earned and impressive, Pittsburgh was at a low health ebb. Roethlisberger especially, was playing on a hyperextended knee and couldn't step into his throws or shuffle (a strength of his) in the pocket.

Any of our three potential opponents are going to be big challenges next week and the Steelers will be just as difficult as the Ravens or Titans.

[Bills have banged up receivers now]

17 minutes ago, wjag said:

The seeming strength of this team are all now sporting injuries. Diggs - oblique, McKenzie- ankle, Beasley - ankle?/knee and maybe even Brown with  some residual calf stuff strain. 
 

My guess is three will be on injury report this week. Beasley clearly was limping around with a brace and sporting some tape on his ankle. 
 

This bears watching all week.  I doubt receivers are going to catch much practice time this week. 

I think this is the untold story of the game. I believe all our wide receivers, save Davis, played less (maybe far less) than 100% today and Daboll's game planning and play calling was about managing the situation.

- With MacKenzie and Beasley, it their limitations were clear.

- With Diggs, while he had a great game, he was not working the underneath routes in high traffic areas where he has been so dominant. I think he was being protected.

If this is correct, it makes today's win very impressive.

Heal fast and go Bills!

What is the reason to be so committed to the run. I need answers. 

I’m wondering if Diggs and Beasley aren’t completely healthy and Daboll is trying to hide it.

It's an absolute gift we got back in the game and actually have a lead after getting dominated - keep it going

No. It’s the result of a good, hard nose football team stepping up to the challenge.

[Duke Williams elevated from the Practice Squad for tomorrow's game]

I'm going to guess (the word guess here is important) that Duke was elevated and on "hot standby" in case Cole felt discomfort in today's warm ups. Good, thoughtful (not surprising) preparation by McDermott.

I’ve spent the week watching replays of all the regular season games. We need Beasley.

No we don’t. Beasley is a great player, a warrior and a hell of an asset. But, we don’t NEED him. Need is a big word. We certainly would benefit from him being out there.

I will say my worry is tempered by the Cant Touch This video from yesterday. The boys look loose and ready to have a good time.

While I agree with you, Tre White REALLY needs to work with Josh. He was showing practice squad level moves.

A. J Klein makes me laugh in this video. He's calmly stretching, getting ready for practice on the outskirts of something that apparently is not really his thing.

[Darius Leonard holds a grudge against the Bills]

I find the "grudge" or "chip on his shoulder" storyline to be old and boring. Should we conclude from this that Darius Leonard would give a lesser effort against other teams? Not buying it.

Having a hard time trusting he's ready to go with DNP, DNP, DNP, DNP, and then just one limited practice before the game.

Well, I understand. Clearly you have a higher level of knowledge and understanding sitting at your keyboard than the on-hand Bills medical staff and a coaching staff that has consistently shown caution in easing players back from injury.

TRUST the process.
