Leaving Kohou on Diggs without more help was a mistake. Howard was available for that game and shouldve traveled. Try anything cause 6 for 120 and 3 TDs seems like a mistake or are you saying there was no way of stopping Diggs that day? We saw Kohou lining up on Diggs and took advantage.

Appreciate the context and does describe why i was hearing different things (will need replacement vs should be good). if you saying post career hell for sure need knee replacement i think thats different than what he is saying. i agree he does a lot of simple research on how the team treats injuries ("in Mcd's tenure we dont see them come back from hamstrings quick"), but the timelines for return as well as likelihood of return to full performance should be published. I would expect both of you to be able to do that literature review and come to similar conclusions. that might not be too helpful for me, but helps me greatly.

Josh being a pro bowl snub feels like good news. That will burn a fire in his belly. Certain it’ll help him run through some poor fish. Just hope it doesn’t cause him to go too far, but that is the Josh Allen experience.

Yeah sorry it was confusing. Kyle Trimble is in the slack. And in his victory lap for nailing the diagnosis (we are lucky as fans to have the dude) he said he thought Milano should be able to back before the end of the playoffs. That’s the extent of what I’ve been hearing. But figured I’d share all the good rumors cause I’m certain we’re all desperate for it right now.

Sorry. First guy wasn’t sarcastic I think. He never replied so I did yours. My B on missing it Yeah in the cover 1 slack channel he said the whole thing begged the question why he couldn’t return later than the playoffs.

Trimble is still hopeful he can come back and considering he nailed the diagnosis I’m also remain hopeful What. Why do either of you think knee replacement is inevitable

Interested to hear why you say this when Kyle has consistently said he’ll be fine once he recovers which takes a while.

Feel like years against the patriots should’ve dissuaded you.

I had lots of reasons to think the Chargers could compete with us. The new coach bump is real as the players wanna show they werent the reason for failure. Going west. they had extra rest which also probably multiplied the new coach bump. they had just gotten blown out and wanted to show better. All that said we probably win comfortably if we dont lose TO battle 3-0 where they got 16 points. Of those 4 reasons above only the last one carries to this game. I think Miami will be competitive because they have better players, but I don't see this going the way the chargers game did.

Miami is in a pickle for sure. sorta wanna see a lot of 12 and 13 personnel from this weekend. We could go spread with either personnel grouping and force them to use LBs (where they are super weak) to cover one or two of Cook, Kincaid, Knox, Morris.

Holding we look to be about league average with 5 for us (6 against). Illegal contact we are again around league average with 3 for us (4 against). Holding is a bit tricky cause it can happen on a run play and is obviously different. Great site @Billy Claude

What is the evidence leadership isn’t as strong or that McD isn’t getting through? He managed a poor season in which the OC was fired and now has the team playing well at the right time with a chance for 2 seed. I think there’s a stronger argument that his leadership is what kept the season from going off the talks than there is an argument that he’s not getting through.

It said rest so that’s why DNP but obviously he’s getting treated for ribs too. But he should be good to go

Dont know how to post injury report here but link is here:https://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury-report/ Floyd is DNP with Ribs/Rest, Von is on Vet rest (insert joke here) Josh was full with finger/shoulder Hyde limited with Neck Damar limited with shoulder

agree the fans dont make the home field advantage that great but the elements certainly do. It is unfair and maybe unhealthy the set up they have down there. It is very difficult to to overcome. McDaniel has only lost 3 games at home and only 1 was prior to December (vikings last year without Tua). I think the offense is better because of the heat. The noise helps but that heat is crazy. Do you think Titans win that game in the afternoon in Sept or Oct? I think they wouldnt have the gas after baking all day.

Im not sure what this post is saying. There havent been 292 games this season as there are only 272 in the regular season that we are not done with. Are you saying the AFC versus NFC record is split? thats not correct as AFC is +12 by my count. So confused what you are trying to say wit these numbers.

Small market big drama. Feel like everyone on the board knew we were gonna get the fins for the division in week 18 after they blew against the Titans. That lone is a good story but to mix it with "or else miss the playoffs" is just entertainment gold that isnt even available to other team sports. the variance with the outcomes of this game is absolutely bonkers.

I'm partial to the shah's spleen discussion but yeah those were solid.

Howard Waddle missed last game is also likely out Mostert missed last game will likely play Tua left 4th quarter of a blowout with an injury but will probably play. They are also down starting center, a guard (i think), DE phillips. And know that it enters my head Armstead is probably banged up too

While he can and does get beat up in a way that affect his play. Hes been available better than any of his peers. Really insane the way he keeps going with the way he runs. would love a better back up but it has to come via the draft as @mrags said cause we cant really afford a proven one.

1) OL has been super healthy this year and Josh has the longest active starting streak for a QB over Mahomes by a lot. Combined with our recent history of not getting hurt (2017-2021) I think our luck just caught up with us the past two years. Maybe the criticism is the way they handled the London game, but that doesnt seem like a reason for firing if we have done well in the normal situations. 2) Why? like i would want him to get one but are you saying hes not calling the plays at the right time and situations? I think he is as we lately keep stiffening up when teams get in FG range. 3) Maybe. Hes not mistake free but also has some good decisions even lately. Wish he was getting more flowers for calling TO on 3rd and 1 with 2:41 to go when we were in shotgun. Coming out of TO did buffalo shove for a first down. I 100% disagree next season is a make or break season for him. We just set a franchise record for 5 seasons with 10 wins in a row. You totally lost me when you just said you copied it from Miami board. Start a new thread for this stuff and get it out of the game day thread please.

Yeah thats a great point and i wouldnt support an extension more than 2 years. Also I wouldnt gurantee any salary after 2024 (though would probably have a signing bonus that spreads across the remaining years). that can hopefully give us some cap flexibility which we need. Agree with Ingram and Brown being on the team next year (futures contract i think). Agree Dane is interesting. We are loaded and CB is always a need so I think Dane finds a home. Cam is a safety at this point and has completed his conversion from CB. I think we are in good to great shape at CB no matter what Elam does as we currently have an above average top pair, Tre as CB3, and Elam being CB4 under contract next year.

It def could happen. I think we know soon as he has a roster bonus due the 5th day of the new league year in march. Wouldnt be shocked to see him take a pay cut cause sorta the good dude he is. youll be happy to know we dont need to re-sign douglas as he is under contract next year for 9m which i am very happy with. might even extend a year or two to get that number down with some gurantees.

Agree and good context i missed. I so wish Tre can find a way to return to form but Im not expecting it. 100% tre with Rasul would help what will be probably at least 1 new safety next year.

Lol im gonna need you to put some respect on Tre's name. Tre has always been a playmaker at a rate as good or better than Rasul (his time as a Bill is not enough sample size to make such definitive statements). Tre has 20 less games in his career and only 1 less pick (18 for Tre) and 6 less PDs (74 for Rasul). Tre has also had 5 FF to Douglas's 2 (I consider FF to be making the play and FR a bit of luck, though again 5 for Tre and 3 for Rasul). Rasul has played out of his mind (clear defensive player of the week to me) as a Bill but lets not throw shade on Tre cause of that.
