Worked to near perfection against the Phins when we beat them earlier this season. McD came up with a great scheme that day, one that Miami’s McD complimented him on after the game. I don’t understand why we haven’t seen more of it since.

Losing our star veteran LB and then our shutdown Corner who was coming back into form probably limited things not to mention our run stuffing DT. We've found patches for the DT and corner but it's hard to be as flexible when you're covering for what's missing.

Dallas has some intense home/away splits and they also seem due for a clunker game coming off a big win over the Eagles. But I also think they're a really really good team. Dak is on a heater, Lamb may be the best WR in the NFL this season, Pollard is more than capable, and there are superstars on defense. I think the Bills need to play well but most importantly need to play disciplined in this one. Don't give away free yards with penalties or careless mistakes.

Lets hope its one of those damp, chilly, "to the bone" days. Game is at sunset, maybe gets a bit colder..

Yep - to me it's not even as much how it affects the play on the field as the psyche of the players.  Get a lead, the environment hostile and weather miserable and some guy start thinking man this sucks and dreaming of a warm bus

Do you guys think the weather will be a big factor? Only 40s with some rain.....in Dallas its in the 60s...

15-25 wind and rain.  I think it’ll have somewhat of an impact

Also a few weeks went by where we were one of the worst defenses in the league before we got replacements for those guys which is huge when a win or two separates us from missing the playoffs or having a shot at the 1 seed

This excuse needs to be thrown in the trash at this point.

 

Honestly, yes, we've had some big injuries.. 

 

-Cleveland lost their QB, their elite RB and just lost two important Defensive players this past week. 

 

-Baltimore lost Mark Andrews for the year.

 

-Los Angeles Chargers lost Herbert for the year and had guys in and out of the lineup all year.

 

-Pittsburgh lost their QB. 

 

-Houston lost their best WR. 

 

-New York Jets lost Aaron Rodgers 4 plays into the season.

 

-Miami has guys in and out of the lineup every week right now and just lost their best Offensive Lineman for the year.  

 

Rasul Douglas has essentially been a 1 for 1 replacing Tre.

 

That leaves a downgrade from Daquan Jones to Linval Joseph.  But Joseph is a solid player .. he's not a bum.   And the big missing piece being Milano, where we clearly downgrade with Dodson, rookie Williams etc..  but most teams have a big injury like this.  It is what it is.  Figure it out. 

 

 

Jets/dolphins trot injury prone offensive linemen out there every year without much depth behind them then are shocked when these same players get injured every year lol.
the jets apparently thought it would be a good idea to plop a 38 year old qb with two calf injuries behind  a tackle that never plays due to injury and another tackle that is an old man coming off season ending surgery.  I don’t think they belong on this list lol they do it to themselves. 
 

other teams yea it’s tough luck but it’s something you’ve gotta figure out if you want to compete.

Bought tix to game yesterday because weather looked good for Sunday. Now it's saying rain and windy 🤦‍♂️

 

Lived in Buffalo my whole life, should have known better than to rely on a weather forecast 4 days out. 

 

Well, to be fair, you're still 3 days out and the forecast isn't much more reliable today.

With Hyde and Epenessa likely out, the Bills D has lost to many top performers.  Milano, White, Jones, Miller and those two.  I am thinking this isn't the Bills year.  Luck of the draw on injuries.  Need to get younger on D so that injuries are less likely.

 

Wait, what did I miss?  I haven't even seen the injury report from today's practice, were they announced as out?

its in the high 30's in the morning here in dfw.  

 

Unless it is freezing with sleet the weather wont matter.   

 

Crowd noise and field position is how to affect the cowboys this week.

Ed Oliver has to blow up and make Dak uncomfortable

So crazy to see epenesa talked about in this way now compared to a year ago haha. I don’t think it’s too many top performers out…Rasul is playing really well and has negated the loss of white, benford is healthy again, Joseph has stepped in ok for jones.  The defensive ends are pretty deep too.  It’s really just Milano that’s a huge loss and every team has at least one of those 

 

there’s a good chance epenesa,Hyde, and even maybe jones are back for the playoffs too should we make it

I thought the Cowboys played inside in Dallas?

Tre wasn't "shut down" any more period. Teams threw AT him.  Patches?  Both adds have been massive amd CB a pure upgrade.

 

And if McDermott's system needs am all world LB to make it work... time to change systems.

The KC win had a couple great plays but overall it was a “boring” win with some bend but don’t break D and a couple big takeaways.

 

I think they can beat Dallas with another boring win. When Buffalo gets into trouble it’s when they get drunk on throwing downfield when they don’t need to and going 3 and outs.

 

Just ball control it, mix in some short passes and off script Josh runs and i think they will come out with a W.

yea they do but they live here so they will be used to the weather.  its not much different.

 

they practice inside and outside

Gotcha, thanks. I figured something like the cold would definitely affect the hands, catching, throwing, etc.
