Dalvin Cook had a nice 89 yard run with Edmunds out , if that helps. Detroit ran well too. Cleveland did not run well, but passed with ease.

One point was that we were a dominant defense without blitzing when we were healthy. If you were complaining about our defense early in the season you weren't paying attention. I thought the same thing.

after Thursday's game, you said we never blitz. Apparently you didn't watch the game Thursday or you just don't pay attention. When we were healthy on defense, not blitzing much was a great thing for our defense. We were dominant. Injuries are the problem, nothing else right now in my opinion.

Just read a stat from Thursday that we blitzed Goff 46% of his dropbacks. A little more often than 'never blitzing'.

I'm guessing that he's very involved in the game. That's a very odd take on him. When we were healthy the first bunch of games, the defense was absolutely dominant. Missing so many players really has a huge impact on the unit's performance. I hated going through your ramblings, so I didn't even notice if you mentioned all the injuries on the defense at all.

Most trick plays are offshoots of running plays. If you don't run well consistently, you will have trouble running trick plays. Nobody will fall for a flea flicker if we are passing most of the time, they're already expecting a pass.

So what this tells me is that except for Miami, every other team with more injuries than the Bills has a worse record than us. Maybe it is the injuries after all. And to add to that , injuries, maybe 'explanation' is better than 'excuse', but it's the best explanation for teams underperforming or struggling in areas. If a team is missing it's starting pro bowl safeties and all pro CB, plus 1st round pick also being a qb, it makes sense that a team would struggle in that area, because of injuries. Injuries probably have more impact on games than anything else.

Except for a handful of snaps for White and Elam, this defense is without those 2, Hyde, Edmunds, Rosseau, Epenesa, we lost Miller during the game. That's 7 regulars out of the lineup, and we were facing a high scoring offense. If we play like this 100% healthy, then there is a problem, but not now. Dorsey seems to be an issue. Very predictable offense, and it seems like we just hope Allen pulls each game out. Not sure our play calling suits our offensive line skill set.

Why wouldn't fans tailgate with a dome? I tailgate here in AZ with a dome. All fans here do.

Imagine a 7 foot snowstorm super bowl week. For many reasons, a super bowl will never be in Buffalo.

That's actually encouraged in Tijuana, or so I've been told.

Maybe, but it's a 30 minute flight. Hopefully not enough time to cause any issues.

might be a bit premature, but yeah, that's where it should end up.

This is one of those 'sources' posts. A very high up source. White is 100% healthy, but refuses to play on synthetic turf. Not sure which particular fields are involved, but this is the word.

Everyone? Also, guessing the snowmobile did most of the work. I'll wager that he didn't shovel everyone out of their driveways. Let me guess, he flew to detroit and boy are his arms tired.

Why wouldn't he be?

That's ok. It really has no impact on who actually wins the game. Obviously.

You pull for the team ahead of you to lose.

He's still in the league. Good for him.

What if our running game is still ineffective and we lose because Josh didn't pick up the slack?

Do you think the team is trending up or down right now?

And everyone thinks that OBJ will come on and save the offense, after having his surgery 2 months after Tre.

Same here. Weather gonna suck too.

No more than any of us. But a guy finishes the prior game and misses the next, just wondering if over cautious. White supposedly had the 'best rehab' ever according to Beane, but he's still not ready. Others have come back sooner without benefit of the best rehab ever. Are they thinking like the fans that we don't need them to beat the Packers, Jets....,

No, but if the kicks are longer than 35, they may end up outside the uprights, which means they no good. It's not that difficult to understand , really.
