Taiwan Jones didn't play? Hmm never even noticed. Of course he'll get his game day roster spot back this week, and someone useful will be deactivated.

 

Didn't play when?  Jones was active and played 64% of the ST snaps last Sunday, which is as much as anyone on ST but Matakevich

He played..... he cleaned up the Cheaters KOR guy in the 4th quarter at the 15 yd line with a great hit.

 

Special teams snaps

After a large group took top-tier special teams snaps, only LB Tyler Matakevich did this week (77%).

The second-tier was massive. All at 64 percent include CB Siran Neal, WR Jake Kumerow, FB Reggie Gilliam, RB Taiwan Jones, S Jaquan Johnson, LB Tyrel Dodson, and LB Andre Smith.

The kicker difference: PK Tyler Bass was at 55 percent. P Matt Haack did not punt in the game.

The epitome of the drought.  Doomed. 

 

All of the Legends from that Era played on losing teams from 2000 to 2016.

 

#8 was the best player on some of those teams and that is clearly on management...not him.

Aaron Schobel was the more valuable player and they were together for 8 or 9 years. 78 career sacks is second all time in Bills history 

Schobel was more valuable, no doubt….. but Moorman was better at his job than schobel was.

Hope we can win and Ravens lose so some guys can get some rest the last game of the season.

 

I know we won’t have the division clinched yet, but we will have a playoff spot clinched.

Yep and ravens really are in a tough spot against the rams. Lamar either don’t be available or playing with a bum ankle, and their defense is really bad.

I agree with wanting to clinch a playoff spot on Sunday to take some stress off of the Jets game.

 

However, if the last week of the season is effectively for the division title, I doubt the Bills would rest anybody.

nobody is coming out with a rest week with the chance to clinch at least one playoff game at home.

More proof that he should not be taking up value cap money and roster space. He certainly was not missed. 

 

Except that he played.  64% of ST snaps.

Yeah, McDermott showed that last year against the Dolphins with a better playoff seeding on the line.

He wanted that good seeding.

For my fantasy championship I want the ravens to get smoked on the ground. My opponent has 6 players in that game and none are RBs.

Yeah I think that is a fair argument.  Moorman's net yardage was amazing and if I recall was over 40 and that had not been done before.  Schobel is #1 on my list of most underrated Bills of all time and I believe should be next guy on the Wall of Fame (Phil Hanson is and was not the player Schobel was)

If this is a virtual playoff game then why are there still tickets on sale? Jets game too.

Cold. Covid. People expect a win. Build a dome and December games will be sold out

I also think you covet that #3 spot vice number 4 to delay playing the Chiefs as long as possible.

A quick look at the Ticketmaster map shows sporadic blue seats available - I assume these are original tickets being sold by the Bills. There are a lot of resale tickets available, but it looks like at least 90% of the seats have been sold initially. 
 

Plus it’s a holiday weekend, everyone is sick right now and it’s a team that hasn’t been here in ages.

What they said.  Holiday weekends are tough, and even though Omicron appears to primarily cause a nasty cold it's still seemingly getting to everyone, vaxxed or not.

Yeah, I’m on board with that.  Not his fault our FO and coaching was so inept for all those years.

I have it right now. Sore throat with head cold symptoms.  Enough to make you not want to do anything, but nothing like when I had Delta back in August… that just felt foreign.

Yup same. Avoided it for 2 years working through never taking a shift off and it finally got me. Just been kind of sidelined for the week. Ready for it to be over.

I have it too. Feels like Wide Right and Music City Miracle all rolled into one, with McKelvin’s fumble coming out my butt.

Zero reason for Sanders to play the final two weeks imo even if he's ready to go. He was playing an insane number of snaps early in the year. Time to let the young guys take over and rest up.


Agree for the most part.  Rest him against the Falcons, and then if he’s getting better, give him some reps against the Jets to get him ready for the playoffs.  
 

Depending on how the games go, I might even start limiting Diggs snaps, and get Kumerow some run.  
 

The staff, surely, remembers last year and how Diggs, Beasley, Davis, Brown and McKenzie all managed to get worn down/hurt down the stretch before the playoffs.
