Over the past 3 weeks, Christian Benford is quite literally the ONLY player on the defense occasionally making splash plays. OF COURSE it was going to be be him. Oh yeah, Bosa had that one play too. And we saw what happened to him. Listen, at the end of the day, ASSUMING WE MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, I'd rather have these key players fresh off a few weeks of getting their bodies right (especially since we aren't getting the 1 seed) than being in a position where we get to play teams like KC at home for once.......... but are forced to sign AJ Klein off the street just to field 11 players on defense. We'll see how it goes. But as far as Bosa, I'm telling you man, I said it before the hammy injury even happened, that I'd rather we let the guy get a few weeks to heal up that wrist, so I wasn't that mad about the hamstring injury; it may be a blessing in disguise. Again, the key is to make the playoffs, with whatever dang 22 we gotta do it with, and hope that we find ourselves in a position where some of these guys are back for the playoffs (and don't all get hurt in the first round... like what happened against Pittsburgh once, and I think Miami too). Have to think bigger picture. We've been down this road too many times not to.

Our 2 most memorable comebacks this season: Ravens and Bengals Oliver was the hero of Ravens game, forcing a fumble that allowed Bills to essentially go from being in comeback mode to controlling our destiny. Ends up in a walking boot from an injury in practice. Then Benford. Same story more or less. Same outcome. silver lining: apparently the boot isn’t as big as Oliver’s was.. or something. Either way… it’s the Bills, and Billsy things will always happen, I’m afraid.

Of course they play Miami on the last week of the year. Kinda like how they have the easiest schedule in the NFL. Or how they played the Bengals without Burrow, Chase or Higgins (and barely won). Or how their toughest game remaining against Buffalo is at home after their bye week. Once upon a time, it's been said that Kraft had a four-leaf clover stuck up his @$$, around the Tom Brady era. At one point, Lamar Hunt managed to take the clover from Mr. Kraft and the Chiefs won 3 Super Bowls. With the Chiefs sudden struggles, and the Patriots nearly locking up the 1 seed after a 4-13 season, it appears Rob finally took his clover back, and put it back where it belongs. Bad news for the Bills.

I've been a West Coast / Pacific Northwest Bills fan my entire life. The one time I got something signed by the Buffalo Bills was a SNF night game against SF years ago. Rob Johnson was the QB (as a kid, I remember thinking he looked like a giraffe in person and TOTALLY had the "deer in the headlights" look on his face) Anyway I got 4 autographs on my Bills cap, that I still have to this day: Rob Johnson Tom Donahoe Shawn Bryson LARRY CENTERS (LFG) EDIT: Correction. Alex Van Pelt was actually the QB in this game. RJ was hurt. Probably why he actually signed my cap.

Regardless of Vrabel and the Bye week, the winner of the T/O battle will win this game. If the T/O battle is a tie, I give the edge to the Bills. Last time, it took 3 turnovers for them to barely beat us. Cook officially has a target on his back again, he's gotta be CAREFUL. And my logic is simple... Pretty sure if you look at all 4 of Bills losses this year, what do you have in common? Us losing the turnover battle by -2 or more.

If you told me this year there would be another team that I would be just as excited about defeating in the playoffs as the Chiefs, I simply would not believe it. But the Patriots... the ***** Patriots... they are already at that level for me.

I'm just hoping we can beat Bengals OR Pats right now.

For what its worth, MCdermott did not mention it in the presser, nor was he asked about it. His forced fumble was discussed. That was it.

While you aren't wrong, thinking like this would make me emotionally unstable too.

Mcdermott live now... let's see if anyone asks about it.

Would be interested to know who reported it as precautionary? Did you actually hear that or speculating?

Yeah, ***** thing is, he was able to rush today, which leads me to believe his wrist/hand was finally getting right. And our next 2 opponents include Burrow and Maye. If Bosa was able to rush, we'd need him there. Hopefully he didn't pull his hammy doing that little dance in the end zone. Didn't really notice him after that, now that I think of it 😂

Tweet came in 25 mins ago. Game has been over for what, 5 mins or so? Means it happened sometime before 25 mins ago. Pretty sure it happened before the last series or so, but not sure. Hope you're right though. Hopefully just a little tightness and playing it safe.

Depends. Grade 1? Grade 2? Grade 3? Hopefully it's false alarm / Grade 1.

Defense plays great for the first time in 4 weeks. Bosa plays great for the first time in 4 weeks. Bosa is questionable to return (hamstring). Sounds about right!
