Low Positive

The reports are that he's a healthy scratch this week again.

I was hoping that they would lose to the Pats, putting them 4 back of Pittsburgh with 6 games to play. That would have to make them think about shutting him down for the year. I have seen Burrow against better Bills defenses, and I didn't like the results.

You're all happy that Burrow might play because it could give the Bengals a chance against the Pats? How about if he does play, they win, and then they win again on Thanksgiving in Baltimore? Then you are getting a hungry Bengals team, with a healthy Burrow, Chase, and Higgins in Orchard Park. You really want that? When people are gaming out the remainder of the season, they are always putting a "w" in for the Bengals game. It might take 45 points to get that win if Burrow is back and they are playing well. And even then, it might come down to which team has the ball last. And even if they still lose to the Pats and Ravens, once Burrow is back, he's back for the rest of the year. I wanted no part of that for the Bills, but it looks like we're going to see how good our secondary is against the best QB/WR combo in the NFL.

Sorry. I thought it was fixed from the beginning of the year.

Pats are 4th, so you can forget about this one for us.

How many of the people on here that are dead set against signing him are going to flip their lids when he signs with the Chiefs, Pats, or Ravens?

They don't do much in practice during these short weeks. Also, congrats, Kahlil.

What? A sea of Yinzers swinging dish towels, singing along to Stix, doesn't make you shake in your moon boots?

Got hit mid-slide and his helmet bounced off the turf

He swallowed that trumpet and got it stuck in his neck.

Mike Glennon?

Reminds me of Merton Hanks

It's nearly impossible to trade from the bottom of the first round into the top ten. The Bills' entire 2024 draft was worth 370 points on the draft value chart. The pick that Chicago used to take Odunze was worth 387 points. ARI's pick, used to take MHJ, was worth 491 points.

Since the Bills are not playing on Sunday, watch the Bengals vs. Pats game. Ja'Marr Chase is suspended, so you get to see what Tee HIggins looks like as a #1 without the best WR in the game drawing double coverage across from him. Flacco, depending on his shoulder, is more than capable of getting him the ball. I he doesn't show out in a must-win game, it will be very telling.

Everyone seems to forget that the Carolina game existed.

This should be the case, but the Bills' effort can wax and wane from week to week. They will need to bring it for the rest of the season. That is on the coaches to keep them focused. They can't control injuries or other variables like officiating and weather, but they can control their own effort level and focus. I mean, I still have no idea WTF happened in Miami.

Why are the Jags, who are in a fight for a playoff spot, releasing players?

Starting Thursday night, the Bills will begin a run of games against teams playing for their season. They will need to match that playoff-like intensity. Also, if they win Thursday night, their position for at least a WC spot is really strong. It's all in front of them, if they can meet the challenge.

I think tomorrow’s injury report is actually more telling for a Thursday game. If I were a coach, I would limit exposure for guys with any nicks during the short week. The install meetings are much more important than the actual practices.

Yes, they can miss. In fact, it is not even unlikely, based on records and tiebreakers. But I do not believe that they will. There is a real chance that Denver will collapse. They have problems on offense, regardless of the team they play. People chalk yesterday up to the Chiefs defense, but they struggled to score on the Raiders last week.

One of these teams believes their season is not yet over. The other doesn't have that belief.

Probably a future Patriot, what with all their cap space and need at WR. I hope he destroys that franchise from the inside, as he is wont to do.

Dak is sure playing like an MVP...

The Texans got something for Mechie, and his production over two seasons was even less than Keon’s. But because the was a high second rounder, teams still were willing to give up a late rounder to see if there was anything there. So, the Bills will get a sixth or a seventh for Keon if they want to trade him in March.
