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.

Spencer has improved quite a bit this year……but this is 💯 correct. I hope we focus on chipping Parsons. Quinn does a good job of moving him around to make doubling him tougher on the opposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our run game has been better and it slows down Cowboys offense. I agree. It may not work out 100% of the time but i have to believe the Bills are more adaptable to chilly, rainy, crappy weather. They have plenty of experience in this. Dallas plays in such sterile conditions the majority of the time. They will be uncomfortable and despite what people say, Dallas will not be a desperate team. They are in the playoffs. Ball security will be huge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn does a good job of moving him around to make doubling him tougher on the opposition The Dallas guy who came on Sal's podcast talked about how they like to move Parsons inside and isolate him on an interior player as well. Mentioned we might see him lined up over McGovern (Sal mentioned Torrence). We can chip him with Knox or Kincaid when he's matched up on Brown, but we're going to need the RB's to pass pro a lot better than they did against KC when we see him lined up inside. 1 minute ago, zow2 said: I agree.

Ball security will be huge. Just looked at the weather and it shows light rain, mid-upper 40's for the entire game. We just saw Josh Allen go nuclear against Philly in that weather, on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Rapp should start in front of Hyde for the rest of the season. More speed and physicality. IMO. Hyde doesn't seem to want to "plaster" players in the middle of the field anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball security will be huge. Wish I could agree but recent history tells us that the Bills do not play well in crappy weather at all. I think back to hosting the Colts in the rain in 2021 and getting romped - to last season's playoff loss to the Bengals. More than anything, it takes mental toughness to play well in bad weather. Since 2017, this team has lacked mental toughness. I'll let you figure out the common denominator there.

Doesn't look like much wind, but we just played in cold, wet conditions and watched Josh Allen go off. Dallas Offensive splits are drastic home and away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
