YoloinOhio Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 We’ve reached our bye week, and I think having one this late in the season is a total gift. Get healthy for the stretch run of the last 6 games and playoffs. We are leading our division, 7-3, and have the league’s leading passer at QB. The Bills have 4 wins over teams with winning records and their 3 losses are also to teams with winning records. It’s been a gauntlet, they’ve dealt with lots of key injuries/opt outs, Covid issues, etc and while not they aren’t perfect, they are pretty damn good. Josh will likely get passed in week 11 in yards but I honestly never really dreamed he would be at this level at this time last year. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s good for sure but with the tight windows in the NFL somebody is bound to tip a ball at the line and....no? He’s thrown it well over 300 times and has one interception!

oldmanfan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The late bye works well for the Bills. I think anyone would have taken 7-3 at this juncture, and now we get guys healthy for the stretch run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allen is very bit if not MORE clutch than Mahomes. Allen would have had 12 4th Q Comebacks in his career if they didn't lose on a luky play to the Cards which would have tied Brees for the most since Allen came into the league in 2018. Allen missed several games in that year and is there anyone who doesn't believe that we beat the Pats last year if Allen doesn't get hurt and Barkley throws a game killing INT in the 4th Q at the goalline? Granted Mahomes doesn't need to come back too often because they are largely ahead most of the time but still... 18 minutes ago, LeGOATski said: I hate bye weeks...

Good sign that Keenan Allen said the Dolphins really confused them with their defensive looks and they were so confused they decided to run the ball instead of throwing it late in the game. Bills should be able to do the same thing as we are known for disguising and bringing pressure from all over.

UB2SF Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Poyer's rankings in tackles clearly indicate how soft our rush D is. They're also a good reminder of how different our W/L record might be if he wasn't such a sure tackler in the open field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KC receivers are always wide open...especially Tyreek...plus they are fast, so if the ball is not entirely accurate, they can go get it. Mahomes is good, but he's got an outstanding supporting cast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could be good if over the bye McDermott and Frazier can figure out how to improve the run defense. Ranking 28th in Rush yds/gm and 29th in Rush yds/play has been a weakness needing attention and improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch all the other INTs in the NFL but it's worth noting that Allen could also have 2 less INTs than he has. The Kroft catch that was ruled an INT was laughable. The pass that bounced off Roberts shoulderpads or whatever should have been caught or knocked down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Does anyone have an update on Dane Jackson's injury? No one asked about him at McDermott's or Frazier's pressers, not that I suppose we'd have learned much. Banged up points out he came back into the game briefly: CB Dane Jackson (right knee) Jackson went down with a right knee injury tackling Christian Kirk in the 3rd quarter. He completed the tackle and rolled over, holding his right knee. It’s still not clear what he did to the knee even on the film below. I had initially thought he suffered a hamstring strain as he extended his leg out to grab Kirk, but I’m not certain that is the case. It’s very possible he hit the knee on the ground as both he and Kirk were falling. There is also the possibility that Jackson got a cleat to his knee, though slowing down the film, I personally couldn’t see anything. Jackson was observed later on the exercise bike appearing to keep the knee loose to prevent any potential swelling which also dissuades me from considering a hamstring. Jackson did return in the final moments of the game as DeAndre Hopkins caught the game-winner. Either Jackson gutted it out because the coaching staff knew he was the best option over Daryl Worley or the injury wasn’t as significant as originally thought. I am going to go with the latter in this case. I am also not certain that Jackson will show up on the injury report next week for two reasons. While he is continued to be used as a regular call up or COVID replacement call up, he is not officially on the active roster. Practice squad players are not placed on the regular injury report released through the week. Sometimes they are acknowledged as former Bills offensive lineman Evan Boehm was earlier this season, but I do not believe the team has any obligation to publicly release these details. If Jackson gets signed to the open roster spot available due to Del’Shawn Phillips going to IR, then Jackson could be on the injury report. I also don’t believe that the injury is serious enough without more information to determine that he will be on the report. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
