I’ll be disappointed in McD if Cook is inactive.  That would be effed


Agreed. I don't see any reason why that would be the case.

It would be one thing if Cook had been playing poorly recently. On the contrary, the past two games were two of his best as a Bill, and the staff has started to trust him more. Also, in terms of really pissing off and alienating a young player, benching him against his brother's team would really be the way to do it. If anything, I want to see Cook with a big role in the gameplan tomorrow.

It's GOTTA be either a special teams thing, a sickness/health thing we don't know about, or Duke's gonna be a game day inactive.

What is Frazier going to do to stop Justin Jefferson?

 

We usually just play our 2-high Safety look and don’t change.

 

But does Jefferson warrant a deviation from the usual, and command a true 100% double team? 

Sack the Vikings QB a lot so Jefferson gets less targets.  

 

Our DL needs another coming out party.  It been a while since we had a lot of pressure.

Lot of speculation that Cook is inactive, can't see that happening.  Just wondering if they are using Duke as "insurance", in case something unlikely happens pregame (ie: injury).  Or perhaps someone came down sick today, that we don't know about.

 

For Rhodes, Elam is very very likely out.  I'm wondering if both Rhodes and Tre dress.  Both these guys haven't played in a full NFL game in quite a while.  They have 1 extra game day roster spot, by dressing just 8 DL.


Agree. I think they are featuring three RBs this game, and Johnson is going to be the inactive.

A thanks for all your updates. Can you please start every “Upcoming Game” thread? Most of us like the “recent” updates (Twitter stuff). The nostalgia and YouTube videos from 1982 are cool, but have no relevance to the game being played each week.

They should try Xavier Rhodes at safety.  He can't be any worse than the guys we have had filling in this season.  Our safety position has been a major weakness in the last few weeks.  I'm only semi-kidding here.

 

As for Duke getting the call-up, it could be for a number of reasons.  Sickness, new injury, etc.  And who knows if he will actually be activated.  Regardless, the only thing I would be upset about this is if it takes a healthy James Cook off the field.  Not only has he been improving over the last few weeks, but you know he's been dying to play in this game since draft night.  If he is sat down in this game for the first time all season, the coaching staff is seriously tone deaf  and I don't see it playing well in the locker room.  But if he is activated for any other reason, fine.

Maybe they just brought Duke up because they had a spot they didn't need and wanted to reward him with a bigger pay check for being a good soldier on the PS this season.

I would like to see an actual wildcat running the Wildcat.  It's never too late to check the roster at the ASPCA.

 

    The NFL would just ruin that by adding in a mauling the defender penalty.  These younger generation gladiators are such wimps.  Back in the old days the gladiators took the games seriously  as a life or death situation.

Old Leslie Frazier better have a good defensive plan lined up for tomorrow cause I gotta feeling the Vikings will be fixin to try and  run the ball down our throats like everyone else has been doing. And Gabe Davis better step it up a notch tomorrow cause you already know they’ll be doubling Diggs

We have literally two bad weeks of people running the ball on us after eight games it’s not like they don’t know how to stop the run

You sure?

 

 

 

Before we started taking defensive injuries up the ying yang this team was good at stopping the run.  Henry did nothing to us. Nor did any other back really. I think fully strength they are good.  Without all of Milano, Poyer, Hyde or some other starters on the line being in and out they are not so good.

This game is about stopping Cook from running and eating clock.  DEs have to set the edge and LB and DBs to make the stops.  No big runs after contact.  Make Cousins uncomfortable in the pocket.  He has some real weapons so Frazier will have to dial up different disguised coverage schemes.  No soft and passive defense.  I want to see the Bills O line win the line of scrimmage and given Allen time to throw.  This will be a fun game to watch

Agree on the Gabe Davis comment. He's made some fantastic, huge plays this year of course, but has quietly dropped or not contested many balls as well. Totally inconsistent.

Which Cook? Ours or theirs? (I had to do it.) 😉
