Just to update this, Channel 5 is now showing Baltimore at Minnesota instead of Buffalo at Miami. British fans can still view our game on Sky Sports but not free to air. Channel 5 seems to announce a set of matches a week in advance but sometimes changes what is scheduled to be shown 2 or 3 days out!

I am guessing that Spector will be LB "insurance" and special teams only?

Number 1 seed is the winner for me. Guaranteed home games and rest assuming the Divisional game is won. Mahomes and Jackson could face "1B" quarterbacks like Maye and Rodgers and if they have elite games, could knock out KC and Baltimore. Obviously Baltimore is more vulnerable given Lamar's postseason struggles. Burrow has a small chance of being back for the Playoffs if Flacco can keep them afloat despite a truly awful D.

Bills' Michael Hoecht selects surgeon who operated on Aaron Rodgers, Kobe Bryant D looked a lot different with both him and Ed Oliver on the DL together. Get well soon Michael.

Given our injuries listed at CB, DE & LB, we will need the two practice squad elevations for those positions. Bad news for those of us wanting to see a Gore Jr elevation! Need a W on Sunday and no further injuries. Also just want to say that a good chunk of the Buffalo fans in Europe can see Bills at Dolphins on free to air television, Channel 5 in the UK and RTL in Germany/Austria/Switzerland.

For me I want to see if the D has turned the corner and if it has, does that change how the O operates going forward? For example let us say Buffalo is leading 21-10 at the half against Miami and receives the 3rd quarter kick off. We are in control of the game. Are we going to continue running Cook and control the clock or are we going to try and get some true chemistry between Josh and the boundary wide receivers? Is McDermott going to be able to accept a 3 and out going 5 yard short pass, 2 yard run, incompletion, punt after only gaining 7 yards versus a constant barrage of 6 yard runs, wide receiver screens to Shakir plus the usual TE catches eating up the clock for 8 minutes and having to settle for a FG to be up 24-10. I think having a defense that is confident and playing well and stopping the opposing regularly might give the offense a chance to shift somewhat should they want to. I think Palmer and Moore should be a true part of the offense going forward and everyone is then genuinely eating. If our D becomes leaky again we stick to the established formula/template that we have done so far. I have no problem with Buffalo defeating opponents off the back of Kincaid, Shakir and Cook and the primary 3 skill players but I am guessing that we will need Palmer, Moore, Coleman, Samuel and potentially Gabe Davis to shoulder some of the burden to get the W come January and February.

No, that isn't how I determine the success or failure of the trade deadline but seeing if there is consensus or not can help in forming an opinion and any opinion can be had by anyone. Should there have been any offers I am sure they will surface in some manner and be reported and commented on.

Wonder how the media will respond to zero trade deals being done, will they feel that standing pat was best or whether Buffalo should have gotten a DL or WR? I think that Dremont Jones and Shaheed would have been useful for the Bills as they are multi position players and Codrington could have been cut. Can we really win it all by seemingly refusing to throw to our boundary receivers in the postseason? We have one genuine 1TDT who is injured and we have a rookie, ex PED guy and a ex PS guy as DT's and we will probably have to call up Mathis again in Miami.

Shaheed just as a KR/PR would have been a good get, even if he was WR4 here. Versatile player Dremont Jones to the Ravens is also something we missed out on. Just our luck that the biggest sellers were the Jets. Maybe something will be revealed in the next 30 minutes, one can hope.

Waddle vs Wilson opinions? Wilson has functioned as a WR1 and Waddle hasn't yet?

I believe Dion is friends with him, i have seen at least 2 or 3 podcasts where they are there as contributors. It wouldn't shock me that Deebo could be this year's Amari but I would like them to do better.

You 100% want Prater to make the FG and secure the game there and then but in my view we should be confident in the D holding up for 22 seconds and 0 timeouts with a TD needed to tie irrespective of who the opposing QB or HC is.

Up Torrence - Liked his extra needed help on one of Josh's TD runs - kept Jones at bay all game Moore - Caught his one target and survived the KC DB sandwich for a big play in the 4th quarter Coleman - caught his two targets and drew the PI on the other ball thrown his way - not in any way amazing but he contributed to the win, a stepping stone? Down Bernard - A down year so far after his extension, Shaq looked better calling the D last week, more confusion yesterday and he had a bad individual play on 4th down Davis - no rushes or targets and only touched the ball on KO returns Joe Brady - his playcalling before Prater's missed field goal - the last two short gain rushes were very similar in nature

I don't know if it is a mountain or a mole hill? Kind of a bad look for both teams in a way but Atlanta definately are sour after taking the L.
