Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Klein will hopefully come off the Covid list Tues or Weds (depending on timing of test which put him on) That would be Just In Time, with Dodson going ON. Josh is "day to day" with a "foot sprain" per McDermott. Per league sources, it's a "Turf Toe" For those who don't know what a turf toe is, it can be very bad news. But apparently the "confirmation" is from Since Josh Allen *is* the Bills run game, and since his passing game involves the need for a lot of running and cutting just to buy himself the time and space to get a pass off....color me Not Happy with this report. He's not a pocket passer of whom the above may be more true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Other injury news: Sanders has a knee sprain, and is "week to week" per McD. Taiwan Jones has a knee injury, I haven't heard an update on him from McD: Also have not heard an update on Star and the toe Injury that kept him out of the Bucs game.

It hurts one of our main WC contenders, and we can still win the division by running the table and having Miami beat the Pats in South Florida week 18. I am not going to make that argument😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the refs were bad yesterday, how do you think they are going to be it’s Gillette? Look I hope I’m wrong. I hope the pats get throttled all 4 games and we win the division. I’d love nothing more. I need to see it before I believe it’s possible. This team kind of lost the benefit of the doubt with me in going 3-5 in the last 8. This entire season has been a letdown so far. Last season, almost every thing went right for us. It was almost too good to be true. It’s almost an exact reversal this season. It sucks. At this point making the playoffs will be an uphill battle. If we get in, it’s a new start. The entire season starts over and it’s off to the races. The fear is we won’t even get that chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I have a feeling Josh plays and he's more or less OK. IF so, we'll beat Carolina by more than 2 touchdowns. If Josh is out, we can still win, but the game will be a different sort of challenge. Have to win it, one way or the other though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root against the Pats. Depends on your confidence in winning @NE. I had figured on a home and home split with the Pats this year. After yesterday’s game , I don’t think I’d want to put all the Bills chances into the NE basket. I can see a close game with a questionable call or non call being a huge factor. I’d prefer the Bills to have another pathway into the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather Indy take the last wildcard spot than NE winning I remember rooting for the Pats way back when against the Steelers in the playoffs(the year the Pats beat the Rams in the SB.) Bledsoe came in to relieve an injured T Brady if I remember correctly. At that point in time, I absolutely loathed the Steelers and would root for anyone to beat them....That was the start of the Pats dynasty. Moral of the story....be careful what you wish for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Get in at all costs… yes that includes rooting for the Pats to beat Indy.
