I think they are a better team overall. It doesn’t meant the better always wins, unfortunately. I love McDermott but I think Belichick is still one of the best coaches of all-time. He built his current roster to combat teams like Buffalo and Kansas City. McDermott and the Bills likely knew he was going to gunning for them too. From a matchup standpoint, there’s a lot of concerns. I really do believe this game could come down to turnover differential

I can guarantee he’s going to tested deep at least once by Nelson Agolor. Guaranteed

No… this tells me they Bills have more in confidence in Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis (maybe Nick McLeod) and any other DB on their roster than they do with anyone currently available. This signing is a long shot and I don’t anticipate Harris sees any time

Didn’t this happen in a preseason game? I remember when he was hurt and I’m surprised he wasn’t on the injury report. Kudos to him for gutting it out.

I don’t think anything good comes out of the Tre injury. But it’s quite possible that the Bills (and McDermott specifically) might have to chance their philosophy. Tre’s absence makes them a bit more vulnerable at corner. Rather than coaching defensively, I think they may realize that need to score more points and can’t protect a lead.

That’s not true… The Colts pounded the ball. Tennesee beat the Bills with play action. Pounding the ball with Henry didn’t work so great after his TD run. Pittsburgh beat the Bills with a ST TD, good pash rush, and some circus throws and catches. They also tried pounding the ball with Harris which didn’t work. If this is the case, then these two should be ready for Monday night. I hope so.

Assuming their symptoms have been normal. They probably should be ready. Brown was out on 11/18 which means he would have 17 days before the game on Sunday. He should have stopped Star went on the COVID list on 11/14 which would give him 21 days. The wild card here is we don’t know how COVID affected either of these two. The rumors were that neither were vaccinated, which means the symptoms could have been really bad. If that’s the case, I can see them waiting another week.

How much have we earned so far?

THIS. This right here is my main concern. Not only does he bite on double moves but when he gets behind in coverage he holds onto the WR’s causing a flag. These types of plays can change games. Guaranteed that Josh McDaniels is going to break tendencies and dial up a few deep shots to Bourne or Agolor to test Jackson and Wallace deep Yes and he also got beat last Thursday as well and nearly was flagged for PI. As a CB he seems to be hit or miss depending on the play

No he cannot. He is not an outside corner

I would tend to agree with this. The perception of fans trying to figure out the mentality of NFL players is often pure projection. To be successful in the NFL - or the be an NFL player period - you need to have the utmost confidence in yourself. That doesn’t mean things always work out, but I wouldn’t be too shocked to hear that players are taking this news worse that the locker room

Probably not… it’s sucks but that’s why winning SB’s is so hard. Outside of talent, You need a lot of luck

Hopefully he does not pick up a car full ho’s on his way to Eastside Motel

Loser mentality

That Viscous Sid guy always guesses and pretends to be an insider

I like McKenzie but Bills fans who were crying about him being de-activated are being overly dramatic. It’s funny how people pretended it was a “scapegoat” decision by McDermott. It wasn’t - they elected to play the better returner. I don’t know why but McKenzie hasn’t been very involved on offense this season. I think his route running was much better last season and was expecting him to be a bigger role on offense. But given that McKenzie has had issues in 2 of the last 3 games as well as issues early in his career, I get it.

Yeah… I would not say that he transforms the offense but he does give the team an element of speed and quickness that they have been lacking. Breida also seemed to do a better job of picking yards in space. The Bills offensive line is still frightening at times though. I think they should work Stevenson in for a few snaps as well for the same reason.

Not gonna happen.

Can’t believe how many fans are there

Aaron has really taken a hit this season for several reasons

I don’t think there’s any set time for a return. I believe players usually test negative somewhere around 10 days. But like others have brought up some to the effects of COVID can linger and we don’t know whether he was able to train on his own. So conditioning could be an issue

I think Craig hits the nall on the head. The Bills game plan is very reliant on Josh and when he’s not on the talent on the OL isn’t good enough to life him. We saw this multiple times this season in losses. The team needs to figure it out or they’ll miss the playoffs

It will be really tough but I hope he makes it

Carson didn’t say anything out of the ordinary. It sounds like he doesn’t follow the team as closely as we do. He was correct in just about everything he said - but he did lack a little context. I don’t think the issue was as much with tackling as it was with the lack of fits on the DL. When an OL can easily push the front seven around to the point where the secondary has to make tackles at the second or third levels it’s never good. Especially against a back like Taylor. As far as Josh, yes there have been some bad decisions. But these have been brought on by the situation he’s in - namely an offensive line who struggled to protect, the lack of a running game, and a multiple score deficit on Sunday. Josh definitely needs to learn to play from behind but given the situations above, it can be ridiculously challenging.
