Its playoff time, every team has injuries this time of year. Forget the injury report because 95% of the player will make the field.

 

My leg is killing me too

 

I agree, professional athletes would have to be on their deathbed to miss a playoff game, and even that might not be enough.

The seeming strength of this team are all now sporting injuries. Diggs - oblique, McKenzie- ankle, Beasley - ankle?/knee and maybe even Brown with  some residual calf stuff strain. 
 

My guess is three will be on injury report this week. Beasley clearly was limping around with a brace and sporting some tape on his ankle. 
 

This bears watching all week.  I doubt receivers are going to catch much practice time this week. 

Everybody is beat up this time of year this is nothing new

 This of course is true. But Buffalo got through most of the last six weeks reasonably healthy. Yesterday was the first game where in my mind our receivers were noticeably dinged up. And this position group is the strength of our team.

They’re banged up, but they’ll all be back out on the field next week. In some cases, we won’t get the skinny on these injuries until after the season... and then you go “wow, I can’t believe he played with that injury.” Or “ahh, that injury explains it..”

 

We did see how important having Cole Beasley out there is. He once again made some critical and tough catches for us.

My biggest concern is if Daboll's brain is injured... Running the ball when the strength is the pass. When the Bills passed the ball they had no problems, the second they tried to run the whole drive fell apart... And he tried to do it many times.

Last year wasting 8-plays on Frank Gore.


Beasley said he was fine in the postgame comments.

Our RBs had 10 carries the entire game......  That is not running the ball too much.


There was a play where a Colts CB was hurt and had to miss a play. It was after a Diggs reception. With that CB on the sidelines an Ya-Sin already out, I was counting on flooding the field with WR’s and creating mismatches. 
 

The Bills ran the ball with Moss, (the CB then came back on the field) then ran it two more times with Allen to include that puzzling run to the left that lost 5 yards, and had to settle for a FG.

 

Daboll was not good there.

Glad to hear that. I still see a string of DNP in his future this week. He’s my favorite player on the team. What he does week in, week out is amazing to me. Gritty is the word that comes to mind.

The Allen run to left is a classic play the QB is supposed to read the D at the line and audible if necessary.  Allen should have counted the men in box and what side of field they were on.  If you look at the other side of field, they are setting up for a WR screen because that is the 3rd option on play.  When counting the men, Allen would have quickly released he could have got the first on just throwing it out to the WR quickly.  This is classic madden type stuff.  Daboll did not have his best game, but running too much was not the issues.  Allen needed to read the field better.

The only thing that was a little disappointing to me was that smoke was nonexistent yesterday Beasley was toughing it out and making plays Diggs made plays when it mattered but you didn’t see anything from smoke and he dropped a pass down feel that eat them right now hands still working his way back in I guess

Diggs had a similar pass go thru his hands early in the game. Then Allen ignored him for a little bit. Brown had 4 targets and was open more than that. One target Allen sailed over his head, another went thru browns hands, the other two brown was doubled and defenders had good coverage. 
 

its his second half of football in months in a game with a poor game plan on both sides of the ball.

No we don't.

 

Second year in a row where Brown just doesn't show up in playoffs.  Starting to really think he is gone next season.

They'll keep Smoke if all possible. He may have to restructure his contract if he wishes to stay. When healthy he's an exceptional #2 and even borderline #1. 1000k WRs are not a rarity, but they don't grow on trees either. Davis has played the part and has a bright future.

The way rookie WRs come into the league, I find it difficult to pay number 2 WR 9 million dollars.  You can find number 2 WR in the draft pretty easily in 2021.

Beasley is a tough dude- unless it is a limb ripped off I am pretty sure he will say he is fine.


That was the one question he got about the actual game, before being asked to describe his feelings about Josh Allen, or if he marvels at Stefon Diggs, or his emotion about fans in the stands..............

How can you speculate on “maybe” some residual calf strain stuff?
