Inevitable after this vicious helmet to helmet.

 

If THAT is where the concussion came from, we may have some issues! 😳 Glad Josh was able to revive him! 

 

These guys seem to have so much fun together, thet would be hard NOT to like!

I guess it just would confuse me as to why the team would force injured guys to play?

If they are hurt sit them.

If they aren’t cleared to play, they won’t. I’m just saying that my prediction is the opponent makes no difference in that decision. Perhaps I read the comment wrong, if so I apologize

It would send a pretty contradictory message to be all one week at a time and take every opponent seriously, but oh some of our best players aren't going to play even though they could.

I just don’t think this staff/team thinks that way 

 

"Resting" players in Week #4?  Seriously? That better not be the way this team thinks. This isn't a meaningless game at the end of the year. You don't rest players in week #4.  Now, if you have a player who is injured with something that has a good chance of being exacerbated this week, then maybe you keep him from playing to protect him.  But IMO that has to be legit. If the players can tell the bosses aren't taking the game seriously maybe they don't take it all that seriously either.

Rain on Sunday— ugh. Build a dome, I beg you!!! 

I know this is so ‘last century’ of me, but seriously?? A dome??

 

To me, half of being a Bills fan is rejoicing in being outside watching them, no matter the weather.

 

I watched two of our SB appearances on a TV that we moved outside (with a tarp strung up over it) just so it would feel like we were actually at a Bills game…and yes, it snowed both times, couldn’t have been happier (at least with the weather…).

its just that our strength now is this high octane precision passing offense. Unlike the K gun days, we really don’t have a strong running game to lean on when needed. I’d rather have the option with the new stadium to at least minimize the weather, if we want to.

This is not a synchronized swim team we’re rooting for, it’s football, c’mon now…

Vet rest is a normal policy for NFL teams throughout the season as far as the injury report goes, especiallu on Tuesday and Wednesday. Some teams have a set day off for vets and it looks like Buffalo rotates through. Most of the time, guys are banged up and they report whatever injury issue there is because you have to report in the NFL. 

 

They don't need to practice as much as younger players do, so Friday and Saturday injury reports are a much better indicator of what will happen on Sunday.

Boring

 

And you may be forgetting about the value of a dominant defense.

 

Both teams are on an even playing field, either way.
