Just saw that Lee Evans will be the Legend of the Game this week.  Underrated and underappreciated Buffalo Bill.  Can't wait to see Lee lead the charge!!!

 

Sweet. I'm gonna wear my Lee Evans jersey to the game then.  Its autographed too.  Lee signed it in the club before a game years ago.  I think Rex was the HC.

 

I'm gonna wait and see who suits up Sunday.  Handling the injury report is a job for a highly skilled HC such as Coach McDermott.  Who knows what he's got up his sleave?

One of my favorite Bills all time. Imagine him opposite Diggs

Unbelievable injury report. 

 

Why does Tre not appear? 

Because he's not injured 🤷

Because he isn't injured at all and is fully practicing per Sal with no red jersey on. His day to day designation is not related to injury but to ramping him up into football shape and more importantly gameday ready shape.

Just happy about Milano being a full participant. Heart of our defense

Seeing the D performance against the Jets, its evident that this is very true. We speak about the usual key players - Allen, Diggs, Miller but MIlano is a critical piece of the D. Who do we have that is a half way decent backup? Dodson?

When Josh sat out in 2018, he came back much improved...not only physically but mentally.  Watching from the sideline, was a positive.  He's been off the last couple of games...like he wasn't completely seeing the field and then making stupid mistakes.   Maybe watching from the sideline for a game or two will have another positive effect.

Hopefully this helps them recalibrate the offense. Take what D gives, run it, quick passes to beat the rush, lots of YAC, rely on the skill guys to make plays. That's what has been missing imo the last 2 weeks. They kept looking for bigger throws, so they never got into rhythm. It's what they did so well against the Rams, Titans & even Phins. If they can do that & move the ball consistently it will open up a deeper shot as the oppo D adjusts. Maybe this forces Dorsey to call it that way, the players to play it that way & Josh to get a new perspective seeing it. IF that happens & the O finds itself, I like their chances down the stretch, provided they can get/stay healthy.

All 3 levels of D have important players missing.  And the most important player in NFL might be missing.  Who do we have left at S and CB?  Dane, Benford, Cam, Jaquan, Hamlin, Taron, Dean.....am I forgetting someone?  That is scary thin.

I think you mean Gabe Davis

 

 

Gabe's drop rate is in a sea of RB drop rates.  Maybe Gabe is still injured, but that doesn't have to do with his hands.  Josh's 70 yard throw was greatest pass this season(and with a torn UCL!)!.  That hit Gabe on the numbers.  I love you Gabe but you need to catch that.  Those great Pats teams caught everything.  They rarely fumbled. When Giants beat the Pats- It took that amazing David Tyree catch.  If Gabe catches that, we will tie Jets and go to OT most likely.  If Gabe held on in Jax last year, we win that game.  Gabe has had some big drops.  But he has great hands too.  The Pittsburgh TD for example.  Gabe has mild case of the yips.  Gabe has big game, now he needs to show it

You’re forgetting Siran Neal. The Bills like to activate 9 DB’s on gamedays, so Xavier Rhodes could see his first action of the year this Sunday against his former team.

 

The full roster injury list currently sits at 11 players:

 

QB Allen

WR Crowder

WR Stevenson

T Doyle

G Boettger

DE Rousseau

LB Edmunds

S Hyde

S Poyer

CB White

CB Elam

 

As of Friday morning, I’d say that Allen, Edmunds, Poyer, White, and Elam still have chances of playing…however small those chances may be.

decimated is 1 in 10.  Bills are double that with 20.8% roster injured

We saw this during the 2020 season when KC ran all over us when Milano was out. Dodson has been a capable run defender, but I think he lacks a bit in pass defense. We need to draft LBs in the early rounds. Bernard is unfortunately becoming what many feared, a bad reach.

I just cannot find a way this game goes to the Bills if Allen doesn't play. Keenum is a JAG at QB and the defense is banged up. The Bills also have very little running game to speak of, so we can't fall back on that. Hope I am wrong on Sunday as I will be watching as always! 


Vikings are good, but I'm not sure they are as good as their 7-1 record indicates.  Keenum did go 3-0 as a starter last year

I see only 2-0 as a starter in 2021 for the Browns: week 7 vs Denver and the finale vs Bengals…but who’s counting.

I'm now oddly at peace with the fact that Josh probably is out this Sunday.  A ball control game with a stout defensive effort can win this game.  A lot of swing passes to Hines and Cook, some hard running by Singletary and a Milano/Miller-led fired up defense are all key.  Oh, and a loud Ralph is also needed (but that's a given). Let's get the win and start getting the walking wounded back on the field vs. Cleveland.

So Milanos is back? That’s huge.

 

Still like the Vikings in this one though.
