It’s so funny I totally forgot Diggs used to play for the Vikings 

 

Don’t forget it’s Frazier’s old team, as well.  2010-2013.  Brett Favre, Christian Ponder, Matt Cassel/Josh Freeman (shudder)

 

Not that he was, overall, a great HC - but at QB, it must be acknowledged they didn’t give him a lot to work with.

Cousins can be scary.  He's a capable QB, but generally not fear-inducing.  Still, every once in awhile he really seems locked in and plays at an elite level.

 

 

Cousins loves coming up small in big games. Bills by 10.

I'm not stewing over the loss against the Jets but I almost rather do that than think about Allen's injury.  Hopefully its nothing serious and is just something that will heal on its own.

 

Its going to be good news: Allen will be fine just a bruise

Not so good news but not terrible: Allen will be fine but has to sit 4 weeks or so

Bad news: Allen is done for the season


The way McD is we will probably just hear Wed that Allen is day to day or something and wont really know until Sunday.

 

Yeah let me go get mad about the Jets game or something else.

I’m going into “Josh has been dire for five quarters so if Keenum steps in he can’t be any worse” denial mode right now. I’d feel even worse if there were doubts with Josh’s fitness when he was at a peak, rather than a trough.

Keenum can and would be way worse.  Sure, he might catch a team by surprise because no tape in this offense but thats about it.  Allen masks alot.   Our oline, running game, and WR talent is all masked by Josh.  Keenum is a bad QB that struck lightning one time in his career similar to Matt Cassel.

I still think the Bills have the capability to beat every other team in the NFL.  There were a number of things that went wrong in the Jets game.  Of course, we all know about Josh's interceptions and some other poor throws.  The Jets CBs were really strong in their coverage too.  On defense, there was a lot of sloppy tackling for the Bills.  I also thought that Jaquan Johnson struggled in substitution for Poyer.  

 

Looking ahead to the Minnesota game, I think the coaches need to get the team to re-focus.  Winning streaks, like the Bills had, are hard to extend because players can start to think that quality performance has become automatic.  Now that players have been reminded that it isn't automatic, the coaches have to remind them that they can perform at a high level, and remind them that they can still achieve their goal of winning the Super Bowl.  They just have to re-focus.  Getting Tre White back will help too, as will getting their other wounded players back.  I expect Spencer Brown and Jordan Poyer will be able to go next Sunday.  Maybe Milano too.

Vikes have NFC title in mind. I’m very glad we get them at home!

I had 45 minutes to kill before MNF started so I watched the condensed Vikings-Commanders game. The Vikings did not look like a 7-1 team. I haven’t seen any of the other 7 games of theirs this season, but they looked bad. Like below .500 bad. If Allen is okay - both elbow and concussion - I have no fear of the Vikings.

Just need to make the playoffs, then it is on. Giants beat the 18-0 Patsies and barely

made the playoffs that year.

Sure, those things happen from

time to time but the Bills best chance to reach the Super Bowl will be a first round bye and two home games to advance. Anything less than a Super Bowl championship is a failure for the 2022 Bills
