I wish more people understood this. The Bills have assembled enough talent that they have the luxury of recognizing this and acting accordingly. If they were a fringe team that had to sell out every week to be in playoff contention, it would be a wholly different tale. But they aren't. They are a group of high character, smart, skilled vets that understand that they real hay isn't made until after Christmas and recognize that if they want to have their Agame at that time, they need to wisely pick their spots to go full beastmode in the regular season. They've been stung enough by missing a high volume of key guys in the postseason 2 of the last 3 years that I think they are consciously (and wisely) trying to make sure it doesn't happen again. Aside from the Taylor Rapp wildcard, so far so good. I'd also add Daquan Jones to your valid list; I think he's in the same boat as Oliver, has been much better over the last month during this key stretch, will also take his foot off the gas the next 3 weeks and will be ready to go get some for real in January.

Looked like an awkward landing on his shoulder to me. It spooked me too. He's been fantastic.

The Lions still only had 14pts very late in the third quarter. When the Bills went up 3 TDs at that point, there was only a little over a quarter left to play in the game and they started trading yards for clock on defense. That's where those points came from. DET only had about 30yrds of offense in their two drives coming out of halftime and didn't get anything going until the Bills started playing against the clock late in the 3rd.

That was the only single time today that I gave him even a little bit of hell. (from my soft, fluffy couch of course)

You're fair game as soon as you touch the ball, regardless of whether you are at 10yrds or not.

Shoulder I think. They were just being super cautious according to Allen. I'm guessing he took a hard fall on that play where he was off his feet when he got lit up.

Somebody said he came back in for the final DET possession also, but I didn't catch it first hand.

What are those bubbles?

If you think I'm going into a private room with those banjo-plucking muther*******, you better get your mind right.

Crazy talk! He's a witch!!!

I think most of this season is about him keeping himself uninjured, that's he's cranked it up for this stretch, that he's going ti disappear again protecting himself the next three weeks and then go walking into the playoffs healthy and looking to be a menace. I think the same thing about DaQuan Jones who has also looked much better to me the last 3-4 weeks and for the same reasons.

It's really true, particularly about the hollers. I was born in Bradford Hospital and am in Western PA now and it might be even more that way over here.

Allen is not going to force feed anybody; he's going to attack weak spots in the defense no matter where they are. If those areas mean Ty Johnson, Kincaid and Shakir are the ones getting space to work, that's where the ball is going to go.

It's making more sense in hindsight. Probably just a little relapse of BBFS on my part.

Don't be sorry. That's how we like it.

Yeah, I'm guessing the big man doesn't often get low enough to pick up one of those the way you usually do. Probably scared the begeesus out of him.

Get it straight. We call it Pennsyltucky.

Yeah, I've never seen a guy riding a cart down the sidelines for cramps

I didn't know that. Not stunned I learned it from a Carolina boy.

After a horrific start he has actually been playing well for almost a month now That was the one of the few times I flew off the couch during a play today.

Ironically his name was "Ben Jones"

I thought he looked more comfortable today before he got hurt. Some of y'all calling him names and ragging on him because of injuries after he's sold out everything he has for this team are embarrassing

That's today's winner, right there

It's going around, isn't it?
