If it's true Knox is playing with a torn ligament and a broken bone, in a brace, I don't want to dunk on him too much, but it's not good. Gabe Davis fumbling, etc. I am proud of our LB and Taron Johnson. They may be small, but they're fierce. When Taron tackles a guy, he knows he's been hit. I trust that the Bills WR’s and TE’s will get it going with more time. I think it’s better to have these “clunkers” in October in order to work on things early in the season. I think the offensive line has been doing good and is very encouraging. As long as Josh is healthy and hopefully the Harris injury isn’t as serious as it looked (I hope this is like Dane Jackson’s injury last year when he got carted off in an ambulance and ended up only missing a few weeks somehow) then the Bills got out decent on the injury front. Kincaid and Dane got the night off so that’s also going to hopefully lead to them being available next week. The Bills offense ran right at the Giants strongest defensive point their DT combo and MLB and had they needed to they easily could have ran for a lot more had they had more opportunities. They got 4.4 per carry with Josh only accounting for 2 carries on 11 yards and that average was probably higher if not for close down situations that they usually converted on. Torrence and McGovern really have allowed the Bills to have a power running game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was a frustrating watch but euphoric at the end. Happy about the win and not happy about how they played. Isn't that a fair statement? Or is that bitching? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he could be in protocol on Friday and theoretically cleared right before the game.... FWIW, Jackson missed one (1) game last year.

Boatdrinks Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Chiefs fans gladly take ugly wins, even ones courtesy of questionable calls/ non- calls at the end. Take it and move on. One can insist that other teams will magically improve and overcome their shortcomings, and the Bills will not … whatever does it for ya, but it’s just trolling at this point. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we did beat the piss out of a very good Miami team two weeks ago. Not sure specifically what happened the last two weeks, but the overall evidence points to us being a good, albeit flawed, team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you admit the injuries to Tre, Milano, and Jones will be difficult to overcome? The point is the defense played a terrible offense. Not their fault but it still has to be put in its proper perspective. The defense still has a lot of work to do. It's nowhere near super bowl quality. Idk if they’ll be difficult to overcome yet but you certainly can’t give an injury excuse to only one team. elam playing due to injuries is just free yards and the defense has still looked pretty decent with Williams/Bernard they played a terrible offense that some of which was due to Daniel jones and some of which was due to not having their best offensive player until now. They had some other pretty big pieces return too not enough credit is being given to the giants front 7 imo just because their team is ‘bad’. Those guys were everywhere tonight. Best front 7 performance we’ve seen against us all year including the jets…I’m sure some was Daboll having the inside scoop though I don’t think there’s been a team in recent memory that has powered through key defensive player injuries better than the bills…the ravens are up there too we saw a few real high power offenses with our entire starting secondary injured last season and held up pretty well and we’ve got guys deep down the depth chart stepping up and playing pretty well this year too genuinely who looks Super Bowl worthy right now? Eagles and 49ers both looked mortal today, chiefs have been up and down, dolphins we’ve beat already Edited October 16, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBs by the nature of the position go head first into a scrum of guys every carry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I think Harris got a bad stinger. The hit was clean, almost looked like a whiplash injury. After Hamlin the NFL is going to always err on the side of caution. He’ll be back in a 2-3 weeks in my armchair doc opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
