Chandler#81 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Welcome October!🍁 The quality competition just keeps on coming! We’re on the road at Baltimore facing John Harbaugh, the phenomenal Lamar Jackson and more crappy weather. Our now too common Wounded Warrior Team gets a few important pieces back in Ed Oliver, AllPro Po, Dane Jackson and the sorely missed Mitch Morse, while losing rookie standout Christian Benford, Jordan Phillips and Touchdown Jesus. Newly acquired veteran CB Xavier Rhodes quickly goes from ‘Alright! Reinforcements!’ to ‘Ah Crap! Hamstring!’ Then there’s a few under the radar injury narratives worth watching, chief among them Josh Allen’s passing hand and Stephon Diggs -who followed up a gutty, painful performance in Miami with not practicing all week. Gabe Davis & Dawson Knox will hobble back onto the field with nagging injuries that have significantly limited their effectiveness while fan favorite Bobby Hart is out of detention. Another under the radar aspect has been the fantastic play of our entire LB crew. Edmunds is playing like he wants to stay here AND be a mega-millionaire while Milano is -well, simply the best in the bidniz! The Ravens haven’t escaped serious injuries either (who Has?). But they’re more handicapped by an overall weaker roster that isn’t well hidden by Lamar’s brilliance. Dead last in pass defense and uninspired play at LB, RB, OL & WR. Like us, they’re 2-1 with their lone loss coming in south Florida. Speaking of my adopted State, weather discussion this week begins and ends with the devastating, killer hurricane Ian, the remnants of which is what we’ll slosh through today. Both teams are 2-1, legit Super Bowl contenders and, in a scheduling quirk, we’re the 4th consecutive AFCEast team they play this season. The loser today will have 2 Conference losses, just 4 weeks in. So the stage is set for a knockdown, drag ‘em out barn burner between 2 would be powerhouses featuring the 2 best QBs from the 2018 Draft who’ve already earned enough accolades to be considered likely HOFers. Virtually the entire nation will be tuning in to watch this titanic tilt! It doesn’t get much better on the sports landscape. As they say here in Florida, Hunker Down! GO BILLS! The Traveling Circus?😳 Edited October 2, 2022 by Chandler#81 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have a great day, get to church, or get something productive done in the morning, and then settle in for a fun afternoon of football. Today is the MVP Bowl, coming to you at 1:00 PM (EST), live from Baltimore. You don't want to miss our guy Josh Allen staking his rightful claim of that esteemed honor. LET'S GO, BUFFALO! Comment: @Chandler#81 Thank you, for these early morning game day threads. Each week I look forward to reading your always thoughtful perspective about the upcoming game. Keep up the great work! And, yes, "GO BILLS!" Edited October 2, 2022 by CSBill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatdane21 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 can’t remember so many injuries on the team . is the training staff the same ? Are the hamstrings an indication of the older players ,dumb bad luck ? Or just good luck in the past couple years? this will keep Bean up at night seems like every older db he signs gets injured immediately. maybe it’s time to start poaching others practice teams,at least they’ve been practicing daily?

finn Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The Bills are the better team in pretty much all areas, including coaching, so they should win. I would be less confident if the Bills were fielding last year's defense against the heavy, three-tight end offense of the Ravens, but Daquan, Rousseau, Settle and Basham have been great, and now Oliver is back. The Bills offensive line, though.... They really have to to turn that around, starting today. Saffold is playing like he's 60 and Brown like he's 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davefan66 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Not going to be an easy game. Gabe and Knox should definitely help the offense. Need that #1B target to help Diggs. Dane back is absolutely gonna help this team. Hope he’s as close to 100% as he can be. Edit. Are Dawkins and Saffold playing? Need a solid line today for sure.

Steptide Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Looking at the radar, it looks like the rain "might" not be too terrible. That can change by 1pm obviously, but hoping for ok weather.

Commit no turnovers and play contain in Jackson, we should be in good shape. And let's stop the loser mentality (not directed at you). We lost one game under severe weather conditions. Doesn't change the fact that we are still an excellent team. Go Bills! Edited October 2, 2022 by Fan in Chicago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my negative Nancy comments at the weather aren’t met to suggest that we are going to lose. I am with you— I think the team needs to be conscious of any weather issues, and make sure both ball security and game plan are adjusted accordingly. It is a variable that needs to be considered in how we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmd07 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Every team and game is diff. I live down here. Ravens are all big plays. Jets and Patriots could have won but they had no off. You can stop Ravens on 9 straight plays then Lamar can kill you with one.
