Schedule a hot shower at a truck stop, change to warm clothes, get a thermos of coffee, you’ll be “good to go” ......Have some soup, get a nap.

Until Brandon Jacobs started to take over. I remember McCargo's play near the goal line. I was at the 8-0 Blizzard game in Cleveland the week before, so it was a double dose of insane weather.

Those teams in the early 90's could run the ball very well. Thurman was the heart/soul of that offense. When he was having a good day (which was most of the time) the offense was unstoppable. This Bills team has trouble running the ball unless you count Allen. I would say the Super Bowl era teams weren't a passing offense but a balanced offense even though Kelly could make any throw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnycage46 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Milano would be a huge loss. It's very noticeable when he is not on the field. Hoping he can be limited at least tomorrow and maybe still play. We're really getting down to the wire here and we need all hands on deck for the late season push. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnycage46 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I miss the days of hoping our team was good enough to beat teams...instead of hoping our 2nd and 3rd string guys are good enough collectively to beat teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I gotta say that Milano disappearance is very troubling. Considering he played okay and had a full week of rest, for him to show up on injury report 2 days as DNP leads to two thoughts: 1). He hurt himself during the mini-bye, or 2). He has a serious enough injury that a week's rest hasn't helped. I have officially given up on the silliness of saying 'this team is getting healthy" or "this team appears to be healthy". This team loses one-two starters after every game and is lucky when it is only two. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feels like the season thus far has been snake bitten. Obviously everything is still in front of the team and they control their own fate...but these injuries are becoming ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1965 they only averaged 22 ppg, but only gave up 16. Saban traded Cookie to Denver before 1965 and the offense lost a gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team loses one-two starters after every game and is lucky when it is only two. How about 3) he hurt his knee during the Lions game in a way that wasn't observed and reported? These guys get so much adrenaline going during the game that they do get hurt and don't really even feel it. It isn't necessarily serious, but it may need more treatment. Most of these guy's injuries aren't really healed by a week of rest, even when they're not too serious. We'll just have to see. FWIW I mined the practice reports for previous weeks. Bills have had 39 instances where a player was "DNP" 2 days in a row. Outcomes: Out 30 Q, inactive 1 Q, active but left game early 1 Q, active 2 (-), active 4 (-), inactive 1 It really comes down to what the practice status is on Friday. 29 of the 30 "out" designations DNP on Fri also. Milano is one of the guys who previously DNP 2 days, practiced Friday, was questionable for the game, and played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
