Interesting stats. If I’m reading it correctly with ten more TD passes in the last seven games Josh stands to be in first place all time for the most TD passes in the first five years of an NFL career….overtaking Dan Marino. 

That would be pretty amazing especially considering Allen's first year vs Marino who went to SB his first year.

Per Ryan Bates himself, he'd be the starting center if Morse can't go, confirming what we saw in practice yesterday:

2. Bates says, “I’ll be at center” if Morse doesn’t play


On the first play of the Browns game, starting center Mitch Morse suffered an ankle injury that he had to play through the rest of the way. Morse didn’t miss a snap and had an excellent outing. But after the game, several reporters spotted Morse in a walking boot. He didn’t participate in Monday’s walkthrough, or Tuesday’s full practice, which put his status for Thursday in doubt due to the short week. When Morse missed time earlier this season, the Bills replaced him with backup Greg Van Roten, which led to some difficulties in the quarterback-center exchange with Van Roten and quarterback Josh Allen. Even if Morse doesn’t play, it likely won’t be Van Roten getting the start at center.


“I’ll be at center,” starting right guard Ryan Bates said Tuesday, only if Morse couldn’t play. That would likely mean one of Van Roten or Bobby Hart would be the starting right guard, with Van Roten probably having the edge because of how much they like using Hart as a sixth offensive lineman on some snaps to help the running game. Bates has been playing incredibly well as of late and has more experience at center than Van Roten, both in general and with Allen as the quarterback. Morse has been their best offensive lineman this season, so it will be a huge loss against an improved Lions defensive line.

Banged Up Score" (BUS™) — which includes a variety of factors such as injury reports, IR designations and factors that consider the specific players included on those reports”. Sort of clarifies the score/rating. 
 

“Appears” that it does. How much so, not sure. 

Interesting…I wonder if their methodology is broken down in detail somewhere.  Missing edmunds or Milano and having to roll with Bernard should be worth 1,000 banged up points lol

Allen's stats Indoors.....subtle hint from Bills PR to build a Dome

 

What do you think the "internal struggles" from Wawrow is all about 🤣

Per Sean:  Edmunds, Rousseau  OUT

 

AJ Epenesa: Doubtful
 

Morse: Questionable 

Tre has NOT been ruled out 

 

I knew it wasnt likely but I was hoping to see Edmunds back.  Morse being just questionable is good news

I actually really like Rick Bates at center. It's the right guard position that will suffer if Morse is out, IMO.

A lot of the caches by Cleveland were the same... amazing individual plays by the QB or the WRs.  It just amazes me how teams and players always seem to have career type games/plays against us and our WRs have trouble catching balls that hit them in the chest. 

There's definitely something to be said for being the "hunted" and every middling team's "Super Bowl."

Not TD passes, total TD's - Passing, rushing, receiving...
