Oh, c’mon.  Our media does ask follow-ups sometimes - sometimes not the same guy, but one further down in the queue

 

Shame if they missed on this one though.

 

 

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

The weather forecast reminds me of under the radar horrible weather game in this same time frame:

 

2007 against the New York Giants.

 

Absolutely frigid, rain/snow mix all game, tons of wind, 30’s. 
 

Did anyone else go to that game?

I was there. Absolutely brutal. Probably worst weather game I’ve ever been to. I was not properly dressed for the wetness and it was miserable.

Not supposed to be tons of wind this game tho...

 

Was that the game they took a 14-0 lead on a long Roosevelt TD and Fred Jackson run and then got blown out from there?

That game was in 2011 at MetLife.  80-yard run by Fred and 60-yard catch by UB's own made it 14-7, and we traded FGs for TDs from there and lost 27-23.

Trent Edwards to Mike Gaines maybe, then to Lee Evans went up 14-0. 

 

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.

Micah Hyde?  Interesting… probably doesn’t really mean anything though.

 

Hyde said not to discount him being back for the playoffs...

What’s up with Poyer?

 

Uhh...nothing? Phillips...not Poyer.

And the most successful times in franchise history have been a passing offense. 

 

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.

Hopefully a vet rest day for Poyer?

Very frustrating luck for the Bills this season.  I hate to say it too but all the Poyer injuries this year are going to have an effect on his worth next season, fairly or not.

This kind of clarifies that he was out there and working with his position group, but not out practicing.

Hopefully vet rest.

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.

Agreed.  And it's so frustrating too because I don't think anyone or anything is to blame...just crap luck.  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.

Our only season ending championship teams were 1964 and 1965.  Those teams were built around a stout defense. in 1964 they averaged 29 ppg and gave up 17.

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.

1960’s football is a different sport than the later Super Bowl era.

 

We all know this.

Doesn’t look like Jordan Phillips is playing.

Part of the reason why Phillips was not carried over by his former team

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.

Of course not.  Why would we have a team of healthy guys all together?  We havent had one full game of a full healthy defense yet this season.

and that will continue with Von out for the season and likely the first half of next.
