More than his play, I think we may miss his energy and physicality for a few games. Physicality? Like when he gets muscled all game long and is a giant liability in the run game? I don't think I've ever seen such a soft large human in my life. He used to add quickness/agility in the pass rush, but even that has sucked this season aside from last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of you are too young to remember the 2005 Steelers game. All we needed was a win to make the playoffs; the Bills were on a five-game winning streak. The Steelers had clinched a playoff spot and made it known early in the week they were sitting their starters--which they did--and we still lost 29-24. Never count your wins before the game is played! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being overpowered =/= physicality. His attitude and mentality. McDermott actually talks about it often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just ignore all his good play and conclude that what’s left is useless. 9 minutes ago, CSBill said: Many of you are too young to remember the 2005 Steelers game.

Never count your wins before the game is played! This is a different team. I would be shocked if they come out flat. At some point we have to leave the past failures of this franchise ..in the past. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Steelers had some backups in. But they were VERY GOOD backups. James Harrison, an All-Pro and potential HOFer. Willie Parker, who had three straight thousand yard seasons and multiple pro-bowlers, after that game. Antwaan Randle El. Tommy Maddox. etc. We lost that game because our statue of a QB fumbled and the Steelers returned it for a TD. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Josh will be pulled in the late 3rd with 370 total yards and 5 TDs this us going to be ugly, this Bills team is on a mission and aren’t worried about who is or isn’t on the field opposite them. 41-13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bills win, but I think just getting out with a win is enough That's not really the Bills' M.O., however. When they are "on" they tend to blow out the bad/mediocre teams. The Chargers may come out of the locker room with energy Saturday night but if (when) they fall behind by two scores I simply don't see them fighting to stick around. Also -- McD tends to own inexperienced QBs. Gonna go ahead and lay the points myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost because Josh Reed got called for a very shaky OPI right when the Bills were on the verge of going up 24-16. Ryan Lindell then missed a 28 yard FG. 3:03 mark of the third quarter: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200501020buf.htm. A TD there and they win the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving back to NC from Buffalo - made a plan to stop somewhere outside Piit and watch the game then continue on. Stopped and watched it at an Applebees - my kids were seven - what a miserable game and rest of drive home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Jones and AJ both being questionable is a huge W. Looks like they'll both be back by NE and than hopefully close to full go for Miami or playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's not playing, and I guess it doesn't matter when they do it at this point there's less than 21 days left before there last game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
