C'mon man you know the rules, it's not the players call on head injuries.
The requirement is an independent spotter sends him to the blue tent. We don't really know what happens in there, but assuming some level 1 test that if you pass you are cleared to return.
The bengals COULD try and save a player from themself, but the coaches are NOT allowed into that blue tent with the player (big no-no that daboll got his hand slapped for). So the coach doesn't know anything other than - he is cleared to return - and when asked if he was ready Higgins likely said yes. They aren't doing complicated brain scans in a blue tent on the side of the field, so there really isn't much for the team doctors to say.

Not to steal @Just Jack's thunder, but I'd like to think that I willed the Bills to win by starting this write up a few minutes before the Benford pick six. I was at my second thought, seething about our defense and what McD brings to the table if his defense sucks, and then we score 21 points in four minutes. Did the win talk me off the ledge? A little. Do many games come down to a few plays? Yes. Are we severely injured? Yes. Even with all of that, I'm just tired of us not showing up for the games until half time.
1 - Hold my beer - I have this image in my head of McD talking to Benford, asking if he's okay coving the most explosive receiver in the NFL, and Benford just smirking at him. McD then pulls him aside again, asking for a spark, to which Benford gets the first sack of the game. Lastly, watching the time expire and the Bengals seemingly getting their offensive momentum back, Benford goes pure Thanos "Fine, I'll do it myself," and gets the pick six. I mean honestly, while we have Superman on the offense, we apparently now have Batman on the defense. To completely shut down Chase so much that they had to move him to the slot just so he could get a catch is insane. That pick six, while shaking off a dejected Burrow on his way to the end zone, while Chase got to play defender and lose...wow. To know that we can now take away the opposing teams main receiver is a huge boost to the defense and brings Beane's success rate up to 50% for offseason extensions.
2- Superman likes it cold - In a game where we saw masterful throws by both QB's, Josh showed off what sets himself apart from the rest of the elite. Running Josh is back and it was beautiful. Not only did he show elusiveness in the backfield, he showed speed on the long td run, and elusiveness on the final 3rd and 15 game sealing run. I also believe that Josh plays better when Knox is more involved in the game plan. In a game where the receivers again weren't a focal point, Josh put up over 300 total yards and 4 touchdowns. He out-dueled a Burrow who played a monster game.
3 - Rushing attack - Cook picked a really bad time in the season to get a case of fumbleitis. The fumble into the endzone could have been the dagger in this game. You could feel the energy leave the stadium until Josh's 40 yard touchdown run. Cook ran good outside of that, but not enough to compensate for the mistake. As for the rest of the backs, I don't understand why Davis didn't see more touches. Ty Johnson had two big mistakes on the first drive, as he slipped on a clear TD run. Then, on the 3rd and 2 near the goal line, Johnson made no attempt to sell the handoff run on the option play.
4 - Receivers - Two games in a row now where the receivers are almost non-existent. Yes, Coleman and Shakir each caught a touchdown, but the receivers were mainly irrelevant. Gabe led the receivers in snaps, which I assume is more for his blocking ability. I do appreciate that Coleman isn't being handed back his snap count share. It would have been nice to see us take some shots deep, as the Bengals were playing only one safety deep for most of the game. I also liked to see Cooks getting in on the blocking action on Josh's long td run.
5 - Burrow - I don't know the last time I've seen a QB make so many touch throws look effortless. The Bengals carved up the Bills defense on the first three drives. Yes, a lot of that was on the Bills defense with their soft zone. However, Burrow made a lot of high point throws where he gave his receivers the opportunity to make a play, and they responded kindly. There were quite a few passes where I don't know how the Bills defender could have covered any better, and the receiver just made a play. However, the Fitzpatrick curse got to Burrow with those two interceptions. On both, I don't know why he made either throw. Benford was right in front of him and Phillips had his arm up in his face on both throws.
6 - Defense - I can understand the defensive game plan of wanting to respect the run and prevent the big play. But you can't just give Burrow all day to throw. Groot and AJ are incapable of rushing the passer and we were only able to generate pressure when we blitzed. However, you can also tell we don't practice blitzes enough because there were some massive coverage gaps due to communication in the secondary when we did. Third downs were as abysmal as ever. Our run defense was good enough, but it was overall a rough day for Cam, TJ, and Tre. Poyer appeared to be playing well and I'm hoping Bishop's injury isn't anything serious. From a comparison standpoint, the Bills had to convert multiple 4th downs in the first half, and we were overall outplayed by the Bengals defense in that half. That's unacceptable.
7 - Special Teams - Prater picked a good day to not miss an extra point. Our KO units were an opportunity. We gave up multiple returns past the 30 while we struggled to get back to the 20 on multiple kick-offs. Not sure what the issue is here, but I feel like this unit has been very up and down this season.
8 - Spencer - Hopefully he can come back healthy soon, because Van Demark had a rough day. Not only did he have two holding penalties, but he was beat both inside and out throughout the game. Most of Josh's pressure came from his side. Granted, we survived, but I don't know if he should even be a primary back up for us, as he looks lost out there at times.
9 - Gesicki - I'm sorry, but ***** him. I can understand players getting hyped after a good play, but he seemed to be really relishing in his success out there. Maybe it's from his Dolphins tenure, but I felt like he was taunting us all game. His catch on the Bengals last drive was a killer on Cam and he had an overall good game. But again, ***** him.
10 - Chicken or the Egg - Should out to Knox for putting up numbers we haven't seen in years. This is the type of game that I believe Knox is very capable of having more of. I know he's had his share of drops and is a better blocker than Kincaid, but I feel like we need to try and have more gameplays like this. Knox and Kincaid running free is very difficult to defend, occupies the safeties, makes play action more effective, and makes the running game so much better. Now, was this a result of the Bengals defense being comically bad against the Tight Ends? Maybe. Either way, Knox is a capable playmaker and I hope to see more of it.
Bonus - Did we find out why McD burned a TO prior to an extra point? And don't think I forgot about his other wasted TO before a 3rd and short, that the Bengals ultimately converted.
We are on to the most meaningful game left on our schedule with the Pats. We are either going to be in the hunt for the division after this next game, or trying to lock up the wild card so we can take week 18 off. With the Broncos winning, the 1 seed seems very unlikely, so hopefully we can get things sorted out prior to week 18.
Go Bills!!!!

34 minutes ago, wjag said:I have a theory. If you watch the replays, MCD got caught up in the moment and was out on the field running toward the endzone too. My guess is they had to take a beat and gather themselves on the sideline. It was a monstrous moment that swept up the entire bench.
I assume it was conditions. Timeout gives you a chance to feel the wind, pick a hash, clear a good spot, etc. Getting to +4 vs. +3 is probably more valuable than the timeout, and pushing your XP back 5 yards in a snow game for delay of game would be brutal if he missed.

I think someone claims him just to kick the tires the rest of the year tbh. But i don't know that it is a playoff team. Maybe someone like Tennessee or the Jets who are in full e v a l mode.

McDermott's visibly pained expression and statement, "it's not good", weren't enough? " Dude is done.
They said the same thing about hyde, and he returned THAT season. It's certainly possible, but he is SO far from a medical professional that i don't think reading his facial expressions should be considered gospel.

The Patriots defenders have actually held players up from falling to punch the ball out, this season. Something Vrabel got from the championship defenses he played on in New England.. Thats not good.
Just one question for you board invader - are you going to take your lumps if you lose? Or are you going to pretend you didn't hop into this board to troll?

I just want to point out that elements like today favor the offense
It is an old wives tale that weather like that benefits the defense... Tom Brady has said plenty of times playing in the snow really helps the offense
They know where they're going.. they know the snap count.. the defenses playing catch up and are much more likely to slip because they don't know which way they're cutting
Today again showed this weather really helps offense
Having played defense in snow, I always liked getting hands on players at or near their breaks rather than at the LOS. It's so much harder for a receiver to get some steam coming out, and i felt like i was better equipped to stop the run coming from depth.

Listen to the McDermott interviews…..that neck injury sounds like a career ending one.
𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: The injury to Dorian Strong’s neck is "not moving in the direction they'd like it to" and is “not good” per #Bills HC Sean McDermott.
McDermott also said he’s had conversations with Strong that he’d like to keep private.
#BuiltInBuffalo | #GoBills | #BillsMafia | #BuffaloBills
The next question is, will this injury impact his career? Neck injuries are tricky and often dealt with conservatively.
MORE: Star Buffalo Bills pass rusher sustains significant injury in Week 9 vs. Chiefs
“He and I have had some conversations over the last few days and I wish the reports were better at this point,” added McDermott.
ok - but you're taking a quote from a mid-season press conference and stretching its meaning. Essentially it didn't respond to the treatment like they hoped. Does that mean career ending? Sure. Does it possibly mean offseason surgery? Who knows.

You sure about that? THIS season ? Nobody gives a damn about last year.. holds no bearing in the current..so right now you taking Allen over Maye in 2025? Let's pull up some numbers... and before you bring up opponents let's also point out that the Pats played some top defenses like Cleveland and Atlanta just to name a few (even though they have no offense) and still performed offensively. I mean no Willie Campbell and lost his other lineman.. seems to be no problem.. I mean, isn't like he is throwing to Puka Nakuas, Justin Jeffersons, CeeDee Lambs, A.J. Browns or the JaMarr Chases of the world ... wouldn't it be something if Drake Maye won a superbowl in his 2nd year, something Josh Allen has never done.. Wouldn't it be something if Drake Maye got to a superbowl.. something else Josh Allen hasn't done lol.. at least Dan Marino got to one, Joe Burrow as well, Jim Kelly too.. Dont worry.. I give Lamar Jackson the same criticism as being overhyped..
Wouldn't it be something if they got bounced by Houston in the first round, and then went 8-9 with a 1st place schedule in 2026 and a regression to the mean in 1-score games and injury luck?

Savage has played some Nickel in his career and I think he would be a great nickel in this system. Has good size and has shown in the past to be a ball hawk. Problem is he has to learn the playbook and fast
He's likely getting the fire-hose treatment as we speak. I don't think he's taking TJ's job, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the rotation with lewis in dime looks.

Lewis had a bad game but he was trying. Taron is either injured or making business decisions. I suspect the former.
Gesicki has given this team problem for his entire career for one reason or another. They also had their hands full with jamarr chase lining up inside with some frequency.
TJ seems to be playing a bit slower this year, and i wonder if quad/groin injuries are a big part of that.

Thanks for this. I was thinking about this. Maybe Josh, Gabe, Cooks, Shavers and Palmer? can stretch them out right out the gate and put some points up quick.......
then feed them some rock.
DQ was out for the game and the depth couldn't get it done that game. I also don't remember who the corners were but dane Jackson and kaiir elam played a lot in those games which... Explains a lot of the issues with the game plan.

Of all these, I'm most glad Reader is gone, along with Anarumo. Both of them had our number. Without having to face them, I don't see why the Bills wouldn't plan another Pittsburgh job. I mean, the Bengals are giving up 160 ydg rushing, the worst in the league. It's not brain science, especially with the incentive to keep an explosive offense off the field. (Imagine Allen throwing to Chase and Higgins instead of the cast of Gilligan's Island. Now THAT would be an explosive offensive.)
The hard part will be to keep the run game going if Burrows quickly scores TDs on every possession. What a weird game that would be: lightning drive/plodding drive, lightning drive/plodding drive.
BEANE! Couldn't you have found Allen even ONE wide receiver?
I wish we did add more at WR, I'll make that clear. But I think there HAS to be balance to win championships in the NFL. Even looking back at the kelly bills, when another team was able to run the ball it screws everything up. Fewer possessions and more of a sense of urgency because of the lack of possession time. I don't think that means we need to run the ball constantly, I just mean I don't want to build a team around 2 WRs and 1QB if that makes any sense?
To your 2nd point about what if burrow carves buffalo up? The entire offense would need to play amazing to win in that scenario. If Buffalo puts close to 200 on the ground against you, even incompletions or penalties, or sacks can become game killing plays because a running team squeezes the clock. We'll see how it plays out! I think on the road it's difficult to just say we're going to dictate, not to mention very different personnel on both sides - namely hopefully less playing time for dane Jackson and kaiir elam.

I for one thought Beane was doing a good job in the beginning of his tenure but not so much as of late. Here is my list of why Beane screwed up and why both he and McD need to go.
1. Both are great coaches/GM but as time goes by so does your window of opportunity. As McD said after the Texans game about this roster, he said that while he “loves these players,” he admitted the team doesn’t have what he considers a “super-Bowl-caliber” roster. That is on Beane and paying all the wrong players. I mean look at the guys he signed this year alone:Bosa DE (was killing it but we all knew he would get hurt eventually and miss some games, which he is at the most crucial part of our schedule)
Palmer WR (signed a three year deal and was the forth/fifth receiver with the chargers so far he has played 8 games and has 18 catches for 272 yards 0 TDs)
Hoecht DE great signing for the game and a half he played was impressed but was suspended the first six games played a little in Carolina and was killing it against KC then got hurt and is out for the season.
Ogunjobi DT suspended first six games now playing but probably our worst DT on the roster.
Honorable mention Curtis Samuels last year 14 games (only started 2) for 31 catches 253 yards 1 TD; 2025 6 games 0 starts 7 catches 81 yards 1 TD. and we gave that guy $24M for 3 years.
2. Signing the guys he drafted instead of signing players that will help.
Here is a list of players Beane Drafted then signed to big contracts:
Josh Allen - Franchise QB drafted 2018 (best move Beane ever did)
James Cook - RB drafted 2022 (great move but almost lost him to free agency because Beane didn't want to pay him)
Khalil Shakir - WR, drafted 2022 (average WR probably paid too much for him 5yr $56M)
Christian Benford - CB, drafted 2022 (probably paid him market value 6yr $69M)
Greg Rousseau - DE, drafted 2021 (overpaid for a 5 sack a year guy who never got better, 4yr $80M)
Terrel Bernard - LB, drafted 2022 (overpaid, 4yr $42M)
IMO only 2 of these contracts make sense (Allen, Cook); I can live with 2 (Shakir, Benford); and two I could have done without and used that money somewhere else (Rousseau, Bernard). Bernard is small and gets washed out of a lot run plays, Shaq Thompson makes our Defense way better for only 1.25 million this year. He is bigger stronger and better against the run which forces team to play into our strengths (pass defense). Maybe Bernard will be better in the Malino role but Bernard is hurt a lot also just like Milano. Rousseau is getting paid an average of 20M a year and Bosa is getting paid 12.6M this year and has already proven to be a way better pass rusher then Greg. Greg is in his fifth year and has played in 74 games and has 28 career sacks (not cutting it). For example, Jaelan Phillips drafted right before Greg played in 59 career games and has 27 career sacks. You don't sign a guy because you like him you sign him because he is a good football player. We need to get back to that.
3. Bringing back dead weight over and over again.
Retreads
Philips, Lawson, White, Davis, Jackson, Poyer, Spector, Broeker (all dead weight if you ask me) when we had guys like Tim Settle (DT Texans now), Puna Ford (DT Seahawks now) both did nothing in Buffalo after signing free agent contracts never got a chance if you ask me and are now killing it with their new organizations.
4. McD hiring from within all the time instead of going outside the organization.
Coach McD always hires from within (Brady and Badich) IMO we were better with Daboll and Frazier on the staff running their respective units. It makes me wonder why Daboll and McD had a rocky relationship, and Frazier was fired. I believe McD was responsible for the whole 13 seconds debacle when he played the analytics instead of going with his gut and kicking it inbounds. I want to believe that Frazier was telling him to kick it in bounds to kill some time and when McD's plan backfired he fired Frazier. When Frazier was running the D the opposing team always seemed to have a good opening drive but then Frazier made adjustments, with Badich running the D the opposing team has a good first half and some of the games get away from us, but after the half when the game is already lost he makes adjustments). For example the Atlanta game right before the half with under 2 minutes the Falcons drove right down the field to get into FG range which was almost a TD, and the Texans game right after the Bills scored to get some momentum the Texans went right down the field and scored a TD right before the half. both unacceptable.
5. What is up with all these injuries, I know it happens around the league but dam.
Our training staff sucks, or our coaches are being over-protective.
6. What happened to the players being the best version of themselves (remember when JA17 first got here and that was one of the things that lured people in). Now it feels like it is not that anymore and it is do what I say and like it and smile. No top end WR free agent is going to want to come here to run block all the time because that is not what they want to do. They want the ball to make plays not to block.
I think a lot of things are missed here but i do like reading things like this that aren't fully rooted in a bias.
1 - I don't disagree. We barely wade into the FA pool here so you tend to want to see some impact before some splash. Injuries are going to happen to players though.
2 -
- Shakir's contract was about the same in AAV as the deal gabe davis and darnell mooney signed in 2024. I think his value there is appropriate and will probably age pretty well.
- Benford's contract was the 8th highest AAV of deals signed just in 2025. I think he's somewhere around 18 or 19th total. To me that reads fair market value, and will probably age well.
- Rousseau is overpaid, but it doesn't mean he's a bad player either. It's also not really an egregious overpay either. You mention bosa as getting more pass rush for the money, but he's also caused a lot of issues defensively with his poor gap integrity against the run.
- Bernard is a captain so there's a little bit of an overpay. There's like 7 off ball linebackers with ~10M AAV, so it's not like he's jumping off the page. He missed camp with a hamstring, re-aggravated an ankle injury, and now he screwed up his elbow on a weird tackle. He's likely here through 2027 unless he's traded. Dre greenlaw got the same 10M coming off a playoff achilles injury
3 - Other than White, all of these are mid-season injury replacements for Carter (DT5), Jackson (DE5), Palmer (WR2), Rapp (FS), Bernard (LB5). The options are either players who have never practiced here, and don't necessarily represent upgrades, or bring in players you've seen play quite a bit. Devil you know (they are old or not good), vs. devil you don't.
4 - Frazier was the DC during that bengals debacle. That alone was pretty much a fireable offense. You promote from within because it empowers young coaches to feel they have the ability to earn promotions. Brady was brought in as an heir-apparent, and stepped in and settled down that hot/cold dorsey offense down the stretch. Babich was interviewing with other teams for their coordinator position, and has a family pedigree of coaching.
5 - I think there's reason to be critical of the strength and conditioning staff, seems like the team has torn pecs/biceps, pulled hamstrings/quads/groins quite frequently. There have been a number of practice injuries this year which is concerning. At the same time, the tackling was so bad to start the year that you HAD to improve the practice intensity. Seemed like that coincided with more soft tissue injuries.
6 - I think there's still and will always be a buffalo effect here. There are a number of players... who do not want to play here. The weather alone to me always will deter a lot of people. Factor in night life and stuff and its not always a place people want to live. As for WRs having to block? Yeah, thats going to be important for any team that plays in the rust belt. It's a mistake to NOT have that be a large part of your identity. You WANT to play football in december and january at home, and that means wind/snow/cold that tends to favor a running football team.
I want to be clear, you are not WRONG in your criticism of Beane. I think there's more than enough reasons to be, but there's nuance and context. "Go out and get a WR" doesn't really work when the available trade options aren't good. Trading for holdouts like Samuel, Mclaurin, or Metcalf were not looking to be smart moves - and none of them really worked out for their team this year. Davante has been solid this year, but with that contract you probably don't get Bosa. Also not really sure he was interested in coming here so its speculative.

Nah, it was for more than that. They gave WRs too much cushion. Plus our DL and OL got dominated and pushed around.
It was so bad our guys looked like we were slipping and wore wrong cleats. Playing on skates.
172 yards on the ground was cincys 2nd highest total of the year. Buffalo also had more penalties and lost in time of possession by about 8 minutes.
Fact is dorsey was gone midway through the next season because he would fall into bad pass heavy habits. Frazier was literally fired for this game plan.
As for their defense bottling up buffalo -
Reader gone
Bates gone
Pratt gone
Wilson gone
Hilton gone
Hubbard gone
Hendrickson out
Hasn't been that long but teams change pretty quickly in the NFL.

I trust McD on secondary issues he’s usually good on that. Is Slay good? Probably not but could he provide a slight upgrade at boundary CB4? Yeah certainly possible.
It's just depth and another option in dime looks. Tougher corner, playoff contact type of guy who tackles. Also just a break glass in case of emergency type of dude since hairstons still working into the lineup, white has had a number of injuries, and ingram isn't good.
Strong felt like the best candidate for that but he's done for the year. Take your pick of jackson, codrington, and couch - and its 3 big fat question marks. Either inexperienced, or the experience was pretty poor.

What I find interesting is KC is often predicted to be the 7 seed. I don't think many would be surprised if they ran the table if they are in. If that happens, unless they win the division, the Bills would host the AFC championship if they make it that far.
It's going to be a tall order to get denver to 6 losses, so i think KC is wildcard bound if they make it.

Everybody needs to switch Bills and Pats. Bills win out, Pats drop 3 including a stunner loss to the fish. Will that get us the 1 seed? IDK. That's the hill I'll be on.
Last season at the Ralph and the road to the SB goes through there. It is destiny. Am I the only Billiever here? Remember being 6-6 at this point once?
The loss to the fish is the unplausable piece. But its a division game and they gave buffalo issues. This is the game that comes to mind when you say anything can happen: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201912290nwe.htm.
Anything relating to denver wouldn't be that shocking imo. They haven't looked that great for a bit, and they have GB, JAX, @KC, and LAC. Would need them to lose 3, unless buffalo were to win out.

I just played around with a few games but it wasn't particularly hard to create this scenario:
Requires Buffalo to go 4-1 and lose to philly.
NE to go 1-3 and lose to Buffalo, Baltimore, and Miami. Would be an epic collapse, but its december and the dolphins aren't even dead yet. I expect them to be by then, but its a division game and this isn't brady patriots from an aura perspective.
Denver to go 2-3 with losses to KC, GB, and one of chargers and jacksonville. Not particularly unplausable with how they've played recently.
4-way with jacksonville and buffalo still wins division but would not get a bye on tiebreakers. Probably a pipe-dream, but i thought it would be far harder to create a path to #1 in the conference.

Allen obviously made that play, but you can't discount that Coleman is also so open due to a lack of respect for his talent. 29 and 22 barely pay him any mind as he jogs by.
Knox is also wide open. You could make an argument they probably score on a throw to cooks too since its cooks + blocker vs. 1 defender, since 29 and 22 both chased keon. Pretty good example of when the rush and the coverage don't match up.
My GUESS is one of 29/22 has cooks in motion - and the other has keon. They ended up both chasing keon thinking the other takes cooks.

Has anyone looked at some of the remaining schedules? Indy and the Chargers both face a gauntlet going forward. Those two teams are almost certainly going to fall out of the playoff race. Which means BOTH Houston and KC could make it in.
I posted elsewhere but:
LAC - 8-4 - PHI, @KC, @DAL, HOU, @DEN - Absolutely brutal schedule - 10-7? Maybe?
IND - 8-4 - @JAX, @SEA, SF, JAX, @HOU - Another tough slate - Also 10-7.
JAX - 8-4 - IND, NYJ, @DEN, @IND, Tenn - Couple easy home games, 3 tough games - 11-6 best case which would probably take the division
HOU - 7-5 - @KC, ARI, LVR, @LAC, IND - Couple easier games at home, but 3 tough games - 10-7 best case - indy week 18 might be win and in
KC - 6-6 -HOU, LAC, @TEN, DEN, @LVR - Easy road games, and 3 teams they can beat at home - I'd guess 10-7 and if the loss is to denver they're very much in the mix.
BAL - 6-6 - PIT, @CIN, NE, @GB, @PIT - 3 wins would get them to 9-8
PIT - 6-6 - @BAL, MIA, @DET, @CLE, BAL - Could see them splitting and both finishing 9-8, another interesting week 18 scenario.

Tee Higgins back in Protocol
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
To administer the testing? The team doctor can probably say one way or another whether he should go back in, but i'm not sure how much the coaches talk to the team doctors during a game if at all.
If they're testing - Balance, speech, coordination, vision as they claim
All this to say - we know his balance and coordination weren't affected because he was mossing everyone in the secondary. He cleared all of his tests, and there is no requirement to take him out because he cleared protocol last week or whatever.
