My goodness … trying to work out and Mike Schopp apparently wants to put Bills fans on suicide watch with his constant fearful “what-ifs”…

This will be a thing for as long as we have Josh Allen and a Defensive HC. Which is why games like Sunday, McDermott needs to show why it’s worth it.

Diggs foot injury looks super serious.

Sure… I suppose that could be a thing. I also can think off the top of my head, James Cook dropping two TD’s in recent weeks and Gabe Davis taking a 1st and Goal and turning it into an Allen interception.

My thoughts as well. Andrew Brandt was tweeting about the perceived bias during our Eagles game. It was a huge talking point on social media, especially during that first half. Dan Fetes is out here calling people out for bringing this up, but the fact it’s becoming a public narrative is a good thing.

I’ve never stared at a video of someone walking harder in my life..

For like one play, where he and Allen were off on the connection of what should have been a big gain.

What is your obsession with playing this game with backups… Buffalo Stampede’s ideal lineup for Sundays game: Kyle Allen Andy Isabella Latavius Murray Tyrell Shavers

KC fans on X are celebrating getting Hochuli’s crew for just that … he typically lets secondary guys play more physical.

Their NT, right? Which isn’t nothing .. I think he plays the second most DL snaps for them after Jones?… if I read correctly. If I had to guess, we’ll see an uptick in running the ball from Allen, Cook and Johnson.

McDermott followed up by saying he’s not too concerned about Diggs availability for the game. I think the gameplan should probably revolve heavily around Cook, Shakir and Kincaid.. as they attack KC where they are more vulnerable, but you do need functional outside WR’s. We’re already down Gabe. Sherfield/Harty can handle his role, but after them, it’s a slot/gadget guy who’s barely played in Isabella.

McDermott followed up with media that Bernard won’t practice today but will be evaluated tonight into tomorrow. Sounds like a true game-time decision. Diggs “limited, at best” today with his foot injury.

Gabe, Rapp, Spector, Benford OUT Bernard, Martin will practice and/or are holding out hope to be available on Sunday

This is absolutely a legacy game for the short term. Everything changes if we win. “Bills can’t get past KC” officially becomes a thing if they can’t get it done, at home, on Sunday. “Is Allen better than Mahomes?” becomes a mainstream question if he plays like we think he will and we beat KC/Mahomes in their first ever road playoff game. If we win the Super Bowl.. Allen becomes the best QB in the NFL / face of the league.

Currently we have an in-depth Rocky movie discussion.

His physical abilities are elite, but if he’s out there KC will surely identify him and attempt to put him in conflict. Hopefully McDermott can scheme him into some easier assignments and just allow him to play instinctively.

Get Johnson, Dodson and Douglas back and this Defense still has the ability to make it's mark on Sunday. Linebacker will be tricky, especially if Rapp can't go and we have to rely more on Dime package, but I do have faith McDermott can get this unit ready to slow down KC and give them problems all game. The DL is healthy, we have both Hyde & Poyer in a good spot, Douglas says he's 100% and he's one of the best CB's in the league plus gives us that dawg mentality in the back end. Taron is an All-Pro. Jackson & Dodson will have the opportunity to truly make themselves some money this off-season. Let's go and get it

Meanwhile…

Really strong number for the Bills game, given it was at 4:30 on a holiday that half the country was still at work for.

In the way they both glide when they run.. but the premise is based on Cook catching like the did at UGA, and not dropping TD passes every other game.

Cook has been underwhelming in the past few games until the Steelers game. He ran the ball very well against Pittsburgh. He has a ton of talent, and if he stops dropping passes, I do believe he has a lot of Alvin Kamara in him.

Ty Johnson was limited all last week in concussion protocol and cleared before the weekend. That's promising to see with Taron Johnson.

Or.. just do it to them. Hit Kelce and beat him up every play and then knock around/grab their receivers. Especially with a potentially depleted defense in the middle of the field. Force the refs to throw flags just like the Chiefs do.

A lot of rappers out here feeling real comfortable reppin Trump… Black women aren’t going to be in play, but black men have been (slightly) moving red over the past few years. If Trump can pull a Brian Kemp (Georgia Gov Race vs Stacy Abrams), he will cakewalk to the Presidency.
