Condensed from AI: Players hit with force impacts averaging about 40 G's, severe blows can exceed 100-120 G's, 85-90 G's is often cited as the threshold for concussion force. Force in pounds can reach 1,700 pounds in major collisions, comparable to a car hitting a wall at 18-20 mph.
…..I just Grok’d it. Said higher m.p.h.
Now, look at that happening 65+ times a game for a player over a three hour span.
And we sit on the couch eating chips complaining that guys can't stay healthy.

You sprain your toe / turf toe or do something that requires a walking boot you likely didn’t do it 3-4 days ago. He’s been seen the last few days hasn’t he and no report of issues.
With us though it does seem like the same players getting dinged over and over!
I really don't know. Maybe you can look into it?🤷🏼♂️
Also, I haven't seen confirmation that it's a sprained toe/turf toe. Just speculation.

I hear your point in the first paragraph, and think it's probably mostly spot-on. But I disagree that this happens literally every season - at least not to this extent. I've been obsessively following injury reports for decades and this year strongly jumps out as having a disproportionate amount of mid-week injuries pop up. Like, by a factor of 10x.
It may be more than other seasons. Sure. But I really think it's a matter of more people pointing it out more often, so it seems like a much bigger jump than normal.

Trying not to be overly pessimistic...but what the hell is going on with this team and mid/late-week injuries? It's ridiculous.
I've mentioned this before, but I'll do it again.
Most of the "mid week injuries" come from the previous game. These guys are constantly getting knicked during games, but between adrenaline, pain killers and just trying to push through, we don't hear about it. Plus a lot of injuries are worse a day or two later when the swelling starts.
The reason we learn about them mid week is because that when practice resumes and the Bills have to release an injury report.
This happens literally every season, just people haven't talked much about it. Now it's a "talking point" on the season. And it is something that happens week in and week out for all 32 teams.

Hope that Justin Jefferson and/or AJ Brown are available for trade. I'd give up two 1st rounders for Jefferson and one for Brown.
Those two would be at the top of my list. I'd even throw in a player of it was needed.
While on the phone with the Vikings, I'd pivot to Addison if JJ wasn't available. Revisit Waddle. . whatever it takes. We simply cannot enter next season with a WR group that would get kicked off the land of Misfit Toys.

People are enamored with the idea that the Bills should pick WR in 1st round. Only about 1 out of 5 chosen become 1,000 plus yard receivers and most don’t get there until 3 seasons in. I am not saying do not make the pick if a candidate is there.
I’m simply saying that the pick is not a lock.
I agree, they shouldn't force a pick for a WR if it's not there. However, Is like to see them be aggressive and identify the guy they want...and then go get him. Enough of identifying a "cluster of guys" they like and being content with who is left. Take a swing if you identify a guy that has a good shot at becoming "the guy" at WR.
4 minutes ago, 2003Contenders said:In 2025 the strength of the Bills' passing game is with their TEs and RBs, rather than their WRs. That's why 12 (and even 13) personnel fits this team better that trying to force the ball to sub-standard WRs. Maybe that outlook changes in 2026 if the team makes a trade for a genuine WR1 (Justin Jefferson?), but for the remainder of this season and the playoffs, the focus needs to be on the TEs -- with occasional shots to the WRs when coverage dictates it.
Agreed. If the Bills are going to go far in the playoffs, on offense it should look a lot like it did against the Bengals. Run the ball. Use all 3 TEs. Safe passes to the WRs and backs short, and if they can get a shot down field here and there...take it if open.
I know I would like a nice modern pass attack, but with the players we have it's just not possible. I will also say that this team is built to survive bad weather games on offense. We have seen a lot of snow, rain and windy games this era. This offense this year is built to survive that. Now we just need that intimidating defense to match

the 2026 discussion is interesting...
You would assume Davis and Cooks are gone.
Healthy Palmer (fingers crossed, but can we count on that from a planning perspective?), Shakir, Shavers, Coleman (he isn't going to get cut if I'm betting, just doesn't make financial sense) and a rookie or 2? Is THAT good enough? I guess it depends on who the rookie(s) is and their impact. We aren't going to be spending in FA because we don't have the money.
Swing a trade for a disgruntled Justin Jefferson? I don't know.
Not entirely true.
I played around on the cap for next year and easily found about $50M. And that's not pulling every lever I could. Now, a chunk of that may go to sign our own and we do have other holes to fill, but there will be money, especially if contracts are stacked wisely.
The real issue at WR next year is aside from Pickens, who the Cowboys are rumored to be happy to tag, well the pickens at WR are slim. Not much there and a lot of teams that will be looking for WRs in the off-season. Means the mediocre WRs that are out there are likely to get paid well.
Davis being back next year wouldn't shock me. They probably would have kept him if Jacksonville didn't offer him a ludicrous deal. In order to upgrade the WR room, Beane is going to have to be creative....and if trading he is probably going to have to overpay.
I don't see any way they can justify not spending high draft capitol on WR next year. And with the type of WR they have looked at and/or brought in (Waddle, Hardman, Cooks) they understand we lack speed. That's what I expect them to draft. Speed at outside WR.

I wanted to take a step back from the week to week emotional roller coaster, because honestly, this season has felt ugly at times. We’ve been inconsistent, we’ve had roster holes, the injuries have piled up, and there have been stretches where we looked downright horrendous. But when you zoom out and look at the actual playoff field… it’s kind of stunning. The worst outcome for us is basically a 50/50 matchup, and probably not even against Mahomes. Could we lose to several of these teams? Sure. But the idea that we wouldn’t be right in every single one of these games is pretty silly. All of these matchups are close on paper or lean our way.
I ordered them by how dangerous I think they are to us, and it made me feel way better about our prospects. Probably as good as I ever have felt.
Houston
If this matchup happens, it’s going to be tight. They’ve played Allen as well as anyone the last two years. 23–20 loss last year, 23–19 loss this year. Both games were basically a pass protection disaster for us and our offense slogged. It will be a race to 21. A true toss up.
Field: Colts, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals
Colts seem cooked, but the other three would all be battles. Nothing new there. Ideally we avoid these teams as long as possible, but none of them are some unstoppable monster. All 50/50 type outcomes.
Jacksonville
A tick ahead of Buffalo in DVOA and playing really well. Coen has completely changed their trajectory. They’ve got legit wins: Chiefs, 49ers, Texans, Chargers. Matchup wise, their defense is built to take away the run. Offensively they’ll try to run a ton, even though the efficiency is mediocre. They’ve had our number a bit, but how much does that really matter now? I see this one similar to Houston, toss up, maybe slight edge to Buffalo.
Denver
Last year’s Denver team was actually rated better in DVOA than this year’s version. Last year’s playoff game was 13–7 halfway through the third quarter until the Ty Johnson 4th down play cracked it open. This year’s Denver? Not as good. It’ll be a game, but Buffalo should have the edge.
Los Angeles
DVOA basically has this team as a .500 group. Tons of OL injuries, very up and down, and outside of those early big wins vs KC and DEN, it’s been pretty uneven. They can’t stop the run well, and while they want to run a lot, they’re not efficient. This could be competitive for a bit, but Buffalo should have an edge.
New England
This NE team is the lowest DVOA 11–2 team since 1978. Run defense is slipping. They don’t run the ball particularly well. Maye flashes but he’s still a young QB.
We all saw the first matchup, tons of things went wrong and it still came down to a FG. This is a Wild Card level team which isn't an insult to them. It's good progress. We should win in Foxborough and I expect we will.
Pittsburgh
We just match up too well here. We own Tomlin lately, and they had no schematic answers on either side of the ball. Complete mismatch in the ground game and QB play. This is the most comfortable matchup on the board.
Good assessments.
Of course a lot can change between now and then with injury. Let's hope we stay healthy and other teams catch some injury bugs lol

Patriots have won 10 NFL games in a row. Doesn't matter who they played, winning 10 in a row doesn't happen by accident. But where some may see a rock steady team, I see a team over due for a letdown and a few bad bounces.
Bills 27
Patriots 21

Are they worried about Josh throwing interceptions?
Seeing Rivers come back I believe they are preparing to bring Joe Ferguson back to out maneuver the Colts move. Show those donkeys how you REALLY bring back someone from retirement.

I still say the most entertaining draft was the COVID year. Between a peek into the Vrabel home life, to drunken Roger in his totally real not staged basement man cave, to Bill Belichick's dog making the picks....what a time to be alive

Both cool looks. That throwback Atlanta uniform might be the best one in the NFL, unless we bring back the red helmet and retake the top spot.
If I'm not mistaken, we get the red helmets week 18 against the Jets

Different game here but didn't fans who are color blind complain a few years back when the Bills and Jets wore all red and all green game. It's very rare one team isn't wearing white. Tampa going with the old school classic looks nice.
IIRC, reds and greens are the hardest colors for colorblind to see. While watching that game it looked so hideous I was wishing I was color blind for sure
These are two of my all time favorite throwbacks. The orange should play well against the black

Somehow Benford was snubbed for Rasul Douglas of all people.
Douglas has quietly had a really good year for Miami. Bounced back from his efforts last year. Not sure what he did to earn PoW honors, but glad for him getting an early Christmas present.

All this bitching and moaning about Worthy being as bad as Coleman (he's not) is just sophistry designed to distract the entire world from one simple fact: Mahomes is not playing well this year.
Josh is a bit up and down but Bills fans have way more to complain about with Coleman because 1. the plan was for him to be our best WR and he's not, even though the entire room is stocked with JAGs and 2. Josh, while a bit up and down, is having a slightly better year than Mahomes in spite of having lesser talent at the WR position.
Saying Worthy isn't as bad as Coleman is kinda like saying a dwarf is taller than a midget. While true, it's still not a great accomplishment.
1 hour ago, Mod_Squad_Reject said:Who is losing sleep over Worthy and scheming to stop him , he’s irrelevant at KC.
While I don't think anyone is losing sleep, his speed dictates how you defend the Chiefs on some level. He has wheels that have to be taken into account. Coleman doesn't even add that

Yeah okay, do you really think Palmer makes a difference? Bosa is a maybe, but I doubt he plays. Of course Hoecht isn’t playing and as the poster said Oliver is out. I think what he meant is, things were worse.
Palmer makes a difference because of the next man up principal. With him there, Coleman and Shavers see less snaps. He is better than those two.
Were things worse? Sure. But let's not act like other than Oliver no one else that's missing or likely to be matters. Heck, I didn't even mention above Spencer Brown may well miss this week too. Does he matter?
Overall, yes. It seemed like earlier this season we would lose 2 players for every one we got back. Now it seems we are getting 2 back for every one we lose. But there's still a LOT of guys that will miss this week. And that includes guys on season ending IR.

Or, will it be another sleepwalk? Like the last time around when they simply assumed that showing up would assure a win.
IMO, this should be all about pride, not just a possible #1 seed. We need to make a statement now that we are relatively injury free (other than Oliver).
We are missing way more than just Oliver. Palmer and Bosa are probably long shots to play. Hoecht playing that I didn't hear? Shakir probably plays but he isn't right injury wise right now. First practice is today. There will likely be a long list of others that are limited to DNP.
1 minute ago, Gregg said:The 2nd Dolphins game was hard lesson learned that you can't just show up and expect to win. Barring a miracle that game cost the Bills the division and a shot at the #1 seed. While the Falcons game was another poop show it wasn't divisional game. I don't know if the Bills win or not, but I can't see them sleepwalking for any of the games left as they fight to make the playoffs as well as seeding. If they no-show, the Pats game then that is a really bad look for McDermott.
I think it's a worse look for the players. These are grown ass men. Professionals in their field. If they need a little bald dude giving them a rah-rah speech to rev them up that's on the players. They know what's at stake.

This could be your bread and butter...
When a football coach says bread and butter they mean their staple... What you do best... Execute in your sleep
I learned from a very good coach once that you perfect what you do well.. so you can execute it in any situation... Rather than trying to do stuff you're not great at
The other team could know what you're doing but if you execute it to perfection still won't be able to stop it
The trap pass... And we have a terrific running game and great tight ends
We opened the game versus Cincinnati with this... It's going to pay dividends
You can't sell out on the run if they'll hit you with this... If you sit back on this James Cook will go for 7 years a carry
Then instead of crossface you start going up the seam...
You can run this concept out of multiple formations and it will pay dividends
This is One singular concept that can bring the bills One step higher and I'm glad to see it
Can you run a WR screen off this? Asking for Joe Brady

IIRC Darnold was the front runner for most of that process. He got passed by Baker sometime after the Combine, I believe. Then, the rumor a day or two before the draft was that Allen had emerged as a potential #1 overall pick, before those adolescent Tweets surfaced the night before or day of the draft.
