Banged Up Score" (BUS™) — which includes a variety of factors such as injury reports, IR designations and factors that consider the specific players included on those reports”. Sort of clarifies the score/rating.
“Appears” that it does. How much so, not sure.
Interesting…I wonder if their methodology is broken down in detail somewhere. Missing edmunds or Milano and having to roll with Bernard should be worth 1,000 banged up points lol

Keep your head up. Not sure how much stock to put in the below. As clean as our injury report has been the last few years, the heightened season expectations, the key role players getting dinged up, it all seems to make things hurt a bit more when not blowing others out.
That said, for the metrics used in determining the “Banged Up Score”/team health, the Bills are not that bad off.
Note: Posted before last Sunday’s games.We got this.
Does that factor in how impactful each injury is? Or just a total number of injuries? We may not have the most injuries overall but they are always in the worst areas somehow

Agreed. The Bills (mostly Josh) handed Jets and Vikings games away.Mostly josh huh? Guess we saw that game differently lol considering the constant pressure he was under every play in the second half since we were missing 5 offensive linemen I really think that was one of the best efforts of his career. I can’t fault people for focusing on that late td he missed though so this is more of a ‘respectfully disagree’ situation 😂
something like the jets game I’d feel better saying ‘josh cost us this one’

Bills are better in pretty much every offensive category under Dorsey than under Daboll from last year, and especially on the Offensive Drive stat numbers. Average over 7 yards per drive more in terms of yards. Doesn't seem like much but it's a LOT considering the number of drives per game.
Daboll also faced an absolute joke of a schedule last year which I don’t see talked about too much. Crazy this team which is about half as healthy as the team last year playing a schedule that’s twice as hard is likely going to win one more game or possibly even two

Given teams are playing us to take away wow plays, if we stop turning it over and get better in the red zone … this offense will methodically score 40 ppg.
*If Allen is willing to patient.
Then, at some point, teams will come out of that defense. Then… fireworks.
It’s up to Allen really. For all the issues in roster construction we may have, if the main pieces stay healthy (knock on wood), Allen’s physical traits are the only thing in the NFL on par with Reid/Mahomes genius.
I can’t help but think the ‘patience’ issue and ‘inability to punch it in the end zone in a goal to go’ situation are directly linked. seems like we are more proficient scoring tds in the 10-20 yard line area of the red zone than the 0-10. If we can get better on the offensive line like we did late last season everything is gonna fall into place imo

I think the Bills pass defense has been poor the past two contests and the Lions are prolific at scoring points. The Bills will, again, probably need north of 30 points to win on Thursday.
The 8 yard loss was the facemask tackle by Clowney.
I don’t think it’s been as poor as it appears though. The coverage was actually surprisingly good the last two weeks considering how many yards were allowed. We just ran into Jefferson having the game of his life then jacoby brissett having the game of his life. I’ve never seen him thread passes into tight coverage like that. I don’t even think Goff is capable of that but we’ll see lol
i have admittedly not seen many lions games this year but I’d assume it’s more the lions scheming receivers open than Goff dropping dimes into tight coverage and his receivers making contested catches
If edmunds plays the game won’t even be remotely close but it sounds like he won’t be playing. That means the lions can be pretty effective by just picking on Dodson/Bernard all day

This is the second onside kick with 19 seconds left. Watch carefully how close the Cleveland player came to not only coming up with the ball but running it in for a TD. The Bills nearly blew another game.
Td is literally impossible on that play…kicking team can’t advance it. Browns were gonna have to recover the onside kick then go 60ish yards with no timeouts in 19 seconds and come up with the two point conversion just to tie the game. wayyy less likely to happen than that goal line fumble against the Vikings and even that was extremely unlikely
Idk if people just don’t know that rule or what but this game wasn’t even remotely close. Being disappointed about beating arguably the best team in the trenches and the 4th ranked offense by 8 points due to 2 late garbage time tds doesn’t make a lot of sense to me

I really wonder if they’re gonna pull a Flores dolphins and start giving Flacco some snaps late in games if things aren’t going well.
I am nearly certain Flacco would’ve beaten the pats Sunday
3 hours ago, LOVEMESOMEBILLS said:The Vikings are a weird team. At their best they win close games. At their worst they get blown out. They win by an average of 6.6 points, but lose by an average of 27 points
They're 8-2, but have a -2 point differential lol. That almost seems impossible.
Every team from the NFC North has a minus point differential and only Tampa has a positive point differential in the the NFC South, at +3. In contrast the AFC East is the only division in football that has all 4 teams with a positive point differential.
Vikings are a very lucky team…got the dolphins without tua and the bills missing a ton of defensive players. If edmunds didn’t go down we would’ve won that game easily
They’re a 6-4 team cosplaying as an 8-2 team 😂

Where is the amazing part? Rex Ryan was loved by his players too, and if had the benefit of the Bengals putting the Bills in the playoffs with his 9-7 record like McD did, maybe we'd probably be calling him a legend too - especially once he got Josh Allen.
Don't get me wrong, Process McClappy is a nice guy but I'm not sure he's a very good coach, let alone a legend.Can we stop pretending that McDermott is the only coach that claps during football games lol

Gabe Davis runs 3 routes apparently. If you know the situation you can sit on his route like Peterson did twice in the Vikes game. Does that sound like a solid #2 guy you can count on? Or just a guy that can get open deep which is exactly who they thought he was coming out of college. Bills need another option and McKenzie ain't it. He's just a gadget guy. They need a legit slot guy like what Beasley was. Crowder even when he played didn't show up like that. Bills missing 1 more piece to this puzzle 🧩
I wouldn’t trust petersons yappin too much lol gabe Davis had him beat on that post route he was talking about and he knows it. Josh just threw a terrible ball.
99% of the time that is a td or an incompletion but josh missed the throw so badly that he threw Peterson right back into the play.
vikings defense was absolutely embarrassing to close out regulation and in ot it’s a shame josh missed that throw so badly. It was pretty surreal listening to them talk about their elite preparation after that game 😂. They left just about everything open on that final play but the decoy post route that we wanted them to cover haha
the problem with gabe doesn’t seem to be the route running to me…he gets open plenty he just is dropping too many passes and not making enough contested catches

He gets 7-Days and faces a tough New England defense.
That NE defense reminds me of us last year at least statistically. They’re good but I don’t think they’re as good as they are on the stat sheet. The guy we just beat that we seem to be givin ourselves no credit for (Jacoby brissett) is probably the best qb they’ve seen in their last 5 games:
jacoby brissett
justin fieldszach wilson
sam ehlinger
zach Wilson
dual threat qbs seem to be giving them a lot of trouble which seems like a bright spot for us…they really struggled against fields and Lamar-

Full week of practice? I heard we are only practicing tomorrow. I dont think they practiced today and Wednesday they will travel to play on Thursday. How is that a full week?
Lol I misspoke…I meant we actually get to practice as much as the other team

I want to see Hines get a fair shake on offense. Play him like McCaffrey and line him up as a receiver. Just get the ball in his hands more!
I will be surprised if that isn’t the plan…he’s learning an offense with totally different verbiage than the system he was in previously and it’s much more difficult to just come right in and play right away than someone like Jeff Wilson

Beasley was not good last year. He was done.
They dont miss him.
What they miss is a consistent player in the slot.
People seem to be confusing 2021 Beasley with 2020 Beasley quite often around here

Since the 90’s, 50% of the #1 seeds make the SB. And now w new 7 team playoff format, it’s a huge deal bc it counts as a playoff victory, plus the week off. That part is even bigger than the benefit of home field advantage
The 1 seed is seeming less important than it originally appeared with some of the best rosters in the AFC on paper in the preseason being total flops. Chargers, broncos, colts, will likely all not make the playoffs. (Two of those definitely will miss 😂). Someone like the pats or jets is gonna sneak in as the 7 seed
If we can win the division (definitely not guaranteed at this point) we’ve got tiebreakers over Tennessee and baltimore for seeding purposes and we wouldn’t see kc until the afc championship. Tennessee gave the chiefs serious issues last time even with Malik Willis playing terribly so there’s no guarantee the chiefs roll right into the afc championship game.

The bills fan base is the biggest bunch of whiners I’ve ever seen in my life
The nfl is the ultimate overreaction sport because there’s only one game each week 😂. The Vikings were crowned ‘definitely a contender’ after getting objectively pretty lucky against us and the cowboys were written off after losing to the packers then look what happened the next week lol
i do love the ‘we’re doomed if we have to go to kc’ talk when we were a defensive meltdown/unlucky coin flip away from being 3-0 in our last 3 at arrowhead

Don't get me wrong, if this defense can be as close to full strength as possible by the playoffs I agree it's likely better than what we've seen in recent weeks.
But still think this teams season will end as soon as they see KC again, if not sooner by another team that will be able to exploit this scheme for what it is and fans are setting themselves up for a major disappointment if they think White is going to make that much of a difference in the pass defense especially since he's probably not going to be anywhere close to his preinjury form (and probably whey he's not back yet anyway).
What I’m seeing is teams really picking on Bernard/Dodson when one of edmunds or Milano isn’t playing. That’s pretty much all the jets did and most of what the Vikings did in the second half after edmunds went down. If those two guys get healthy come playoff time you’re looking at a completely different defense imo. Also missing Rousseau has clearly hurt the pass rush…he’s been an animal this season
a relatively healthy defense would be MUCH better than this. Even so, Cleveland has a top 5 offense in ypg and people are treating it like Houston went up and down the field on us for some reason

I think...IMO, that when you have rookies and backups in the secondary, you make sure you find a way to lay the wood to the QB. We seem to be stuck on the rush 4 philosophy which is ok if ya got the horses. Thankfully, they did retool the Dline, but it ain't gonna fly every week. Teams are going to adjust and we end up giving pedestrian QBs all day to throw.
Yesterday was frustrating even though Brissett has some mobility. They showed on TV McD having what seemed like a P.O.'d convo with Frazier and lo and behold the pass rush kicks up a notch. That exchange was shown plain as day on the telly and my beef with McD is that he is supposed to be D.C guru and it takes him forever to put a foot up someone's ass. He needs to quit worrying about it and take control sooner than later.
Any one of us can predict the opponent's M.O. on offense each week, but nothing seems to change. If McD don't put two cents in now, Goff will tear us up on National TV Thurs.
I think people are really sleeping on how good Cleveland is in the trenches. Brissett has been playing well for them all year too. Our win over them seems around here to not only be viewed as meaningless but it seems to have somehow flipped the other way and is being viewed as a negative?
Cleveland is the exact type of team that could give us issues. Detroit has a great offensive line also but their defensive line is nowhere near as good as the browns.
I also don’t think Goff will be able to hit on even half those difficult throws brissett made on Sunday.

The Bills have lost the one seed, just the way it is. Also a good chance they do not win the div. They'll have to play on wildcard weekend, if they even make the playoffs. Not sure a home playoff game even matters to them until they have to play the Chiefs. It does look like the Chiefs will host another AFCCG.
You lost me at ‘if they even make the playoffs’ lol chargers loss last night actually helped them with the ‘making the playoffs’ situation.

The Lions have, arguably, the best offensive line in the NFL. Defending them will be difficult with our depleted defense.
Yea and the other teams youd argue for that title we have already played most of this year. we played one of them last week without our second best pass rusher and it looks like he’ll be ready to go this week

It’s really impressive the bills are 7-3 with all the injuries we’ve had before you even get to the fact that josh is likely playing hurt. A couple role player wrs being out for kc is nowhere near the same thing as what we’ve been dealing with especially when you factor in that they still have Kelce and their offensive line has been much better than ours.
we invested in the defense to help out josh and they have been absolutely decimated by injuries.

Their record is 8-2, but they have scored -2 points overall.
It's all smoke and mirrors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions caught them.
Lol I can get behind a more general point that they’re not as good as their record indicates and they’ve been getting pretty lucky hitting on a bunch of improbable gamechanging plays. I severely doubt they miss the playoffs though
8 wins is a lot in the nfc right now…two of those teams in the playoff picture are gonna cool off much faster than the Vikings imo and the Vikings are already 1 and 2 games ahead of them (giants,Seahawks)
and that only comes into play if some kind of miracle happens and an nfc north team catches them somehow

Wow, after reading some of the threads on page 1 today, I would have thought the Bills lost the game to the Browns.
So, it's on to the Lions, and what are we supposed to worry about.
The one thing I have noticed in the Browns game was that Josh has reverted some to his poor platforms when he throws.
A number of plays he had the "happy feet" and is not setting his feet. When he did this in the past his passes tended to
be high and without a lot of touch. I could speculate that it might be caused by indecision. It was better in the 2nd half with
some check downs and some TE swing throws. Please Dorsey, keep taking what the D gives you to get Josh comfy again.
I hope he can clean that up again. Even if he doesn't, I'll take the Bills giving up 10.
I think there’s this notion floating around that the lions offense is way better than the browns but it’s really not true.
cleveland is 4th in the league in ypg and detroit is 6th so pretty similar. Not to mention brissett was excellent yesterday in a way that I don’t think Goff is even capable of. The ball placement on some of those throws in tight coverage was really impressive
Detroit is basically Cleveland with a worse defensive line and we get a full week of practice this time

Micah Hyde leaves the door open to returning this season, per Joe Buscaglia
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I did find the wording interesting from his agent originally…he said something like Micah won’t be playing until 2023 but he didn’t follow that up with the word ‘season’
