I got that. But Hollins was waving his arms around acting as though he was being impeded from going forward - while Tre dove behind him for the ball. Whoops.

Speaking of Mack Hollins, what was he on with his acting job when Tre' got his pick?

My ask was, how does the Bills injury situation (a difference maker on D and a hoped-for D difference maker, plus another D starter on IR) compare to other teams that have managed to be in contention for playoffs. To me that means leading the division or in position for a WC. Chargers are contending. I don't follow them that closely. What starters or game changers they got on the IR or multi weeks on the injury report? Bengals are out. Colts - they're 3rd in their division, 2 games back, and also 2 games back from the 2 current wild card contenders. They're not mathematically eliminated but unless they run the tables for Rivers here on out, doesn't look good. I got to acknowledge the Ravens. At 7-7 I don't think of them as contending for the playoffs, but Dang! if the Dolphins surprise the Steelers they're right there. They're almost OK now with only Madubuike on IR, but they had it pretty bad with the injury report for a stretch there. Worse than the Bills for reals. I grant that.

That catch on 4th and 3. DPI and he still hauled it in definitively enough to count as a reception (whatever playacting Jones did)

Wasn't there are "Bills fan" or two here who was making that claim?

LOL I have to admit my first reaction was "Oh SH** they're gonna get a higher draft pick to restock with"

Hi. So which of the teams that are actually contending for a playoff spot have a worse injury situation than the Bills? Let's make it simple and stick to the AFC. Thanks. And you can' skip the ad hominems and projection 'K?

I mean, Diggs was a father before he joined the Bills

I always felt as though that "close friendship" was a bit of a PR creation. I could be wrong, but they just seemed like different guys with different interests off field. I think it's true that Allen did reach out to Diggs when the trade was announced and try to build rappore over video games and stuff. But when they were both in the same city on the same team, I don't think they were hanging out together outside the team facilities very much. I think Allen is more "let's have the guys over to hang out, drink beer, and watch football" and Diggs is more interested in nightclubbing and expensive single malt scotch. Allen loves playing golf in his spare time. Diggs is interested in fashion design. I could be wrong of course, but we never heard anything about Diggs traveling to southern Cali to work out with Josh or vice versa. When there was a publicized off-season workout it was in Tennessee, near Nashville to be easy for Knox to make it to around wedding plans.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Greg Cosell 100% knows his football. On the other hand, he watches 32 teams and he doesn't have his finger on the pulse of the injury report for each of them. We lack playmakers on defense because Oliver and Hoecht and guys we hoped for help from like Carter and Strong are on IR and because playmakers like Bosa, Bishop, and Bernard are injured and it's been a freakin' revolving door all season. Kincaid is a playmaker who has missed a lot of time on offense. He's completely right about the very poor WR core and Kaiir being a WR3. There's also the saying, "you can't measure heart".

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG! We can't have nice things.

I forget who, but last year when I commented on Keon getting outplayed by Mack Hollins because of Hollins blocking, I was told that I was mistaken and Keon was an excellent blocker

What does the "still ashy as hell" text at the end mean?

I saw that. Now I do grant that the LA Rams won a Superbowl playing 2 year retired Eric Weddle at Safety. But Phillip Rivers was not particularly mobile at any point in his career, and he was statuesque at the point where he retired.
