Watching Philly offense sputter makes you really appreciate the Buffalo offense and how they sliced Seattle to pieces.

So when is the last time a road opponent played twice in the same stadium (in same season), that is NOT a full time shared stadium. Somehow the ESPN FPI index has the Bills with a 40% chance to beat SF and the same 40% chance to beat Pittsburgh. Seems odd. I would think Buffalo would be 55% or so to beat SF...

It can't hurt that the Bills were just there.. They know how the field plays...the lighting, what shoes to wear, the lockerroom setup, the routine from airport-hotel-stadium. Other than the hail mary crap, it should benefit them to be in Arizona and not in an unfamiliar outdoor stadium for MNF. Plus Bass seems to like kicking there.

That Josh injury was scary. Couldn't believe he came right back in and eventually scrambled for a TD. Even though he's a rare sighting, it seems like the few times Barkley has been in this year, he looks woefully unprepared. Just awful. I mean, the opponent is going to blitz on every play and he should be prepared for it if he throws.

Ha, that's perfect. The Bills can re-visit the place of their personal house of horrors. What's the over/under on completed Hail Mary's by the 49ers in this one?

Seems about right. The 49ers have more injury issues than the Bills. They do have enough playmakers to do damage though. This will be another annoying close game but I think Buf pulls it out.

Ok- they are special for Buffalo club, certainly offense. To be fair, the only "special" team in the NFL is Kansas City. When they need to turn it on and make plays, they do it. And even they have found themselves at the end of games hanging on and needing to grind out first downs...or throwing a late TD like against Vegas.

The Bills just aren't going to dominate a team for 4 quarters. It's NFL football. As the saying goes...the opponents get paid too. After the Arizona i finally accepted the fact that Buffalo is a good team, above average..but they aren't anything special. 8 wins is a helluva accomplishment to this point so take it and go

He came back but who knows how this feels in a day or two. He will play the next game, i have no doubt, he’s tough. But it would not surprise me if Allen shows up on an injury report later this week as “questionable”

Well, watching that Denver situation today can make you appreciate a QB like Trubisky. I guess 🤣

Two more San Fran DB’s were taken off in carts today. We have no reason to complain in this game, SF is the much more injured and hurting team. but they did cobble together a big win today.

I nearly threw my remote through the TV when he fumbled. He has to be aware of dudes coming up from behind to swat or punch the ball when he slows down. Just poor awareness. I thought LA made a concerted effort to strip the ball on every catch or carry. those guys were ripping at every single Buffalo ball carrier.

Just one of those games coming out of a bye week you fear. Chargers are in most if not all games. Bills needed to survive and win and they did. So props to them. But as mentioned, the penalties, turnovers, soft D at times and Josh playing hero ball...is a recipe for a poor game next week if it’s not cleaned up.

as i said a couple weeks ago. they are quick to move weeknight games. but the sunday games are tough to move late in season. and the NFL is digging their heels in on moving off sunday games

So just move the game to another county? with zero fans there is nothing preventing any scenario from happening to get these games in.

what a game! craziness. JP could’ve broken both single game records (TDs and Yards). Lance had Marks in there to carry 16 times and two TDs. On the final drive i thought he’d let Patterson finish it out for the all time records but oh well. he yanked him.

I agree, but i don’t think it’s a trap game. The Bills know the significance and will be prepared. you just don’t know if there will be rust and how turnovers will play into this. As ESPN pointed out this morning. Buffalo has lost 7 of the last 8 vs the Chargers and our overall winning % is in the low .300’s against LA. The worst against any opponent in Bills history. So Buf has to change the mojo around tomorrow.

McCarthy, Gase and Patricia have to be gone right?! their teams have all gotten worse overall. Even with Dak, Dallas was still losing.

Yeah i agree. on the other side Antonio Gibson and McLaurin are good too. nice 3rd round picks. WFT has some pieces to work with.

I haven’t been quick to say “forfeit” on any game, but i think this should be the first. They will seriously have to jack up the Pittsburgh schedule to get this one in, and that’s not fair.

I don't believe it's about the Bills getting hosed. Sunday games are not getting moved unless there are extreme numbers of positives. The real screw job was against the SF 49ers a couple Thursday's ago. They were forced to play Green Bay on a Thursday night when their roster was all messed up. Since both teams were off on the following Sunday it should have been moved (as people suggested at the time). I'm thinking since there are two other games on Thanksgiving the NFL felt it was ok to move this one...plus why put the Steelers in harms way when other Ravens players (not known yet) could test positive.

It's never going to be "fair" this season. The league will not only be taking COVID cases into consideration, but if/when it makes the most sense to move a game. And they seem less likely to move Sunday games unless a certain threshold is met (maybe 6+ active players?). No one will really know other than the commish and the teams involved. But the fact is, it's very easy to move this Ravens game to Sunday since BOTH teams have it open. And if more cases pop up on Baltimore, they can postpone it till whenever. If this game was originally scheduled for Sunday I doubt they'd move it unless a bunch more positives come up.

It's a balance. Both clubs have Sunday free, so it works out. Scheduled games on Sunday are tougher to reschedule without completely messing up the non-covid teams schedule. Steelers still will have their normal between games rest.

I think that's fair. It's no one's fault at this point. The virus is all over the place in every community. Tough to dodge it and the Ravens were going to be without some key guys. If it was the Bills we'd expect the game to be pushed back.

Yep, should be blue jersey/white pants at home. That's the best look. Don't know why they make it so complicated. I can live with the standing Buffalo uni once a year but don't understand why they can't outfit the team with the late 60's blue jersey to match. Why does it have to be white/white?
