I think we'd most all agree we need KC to have a slight off day given so many injuries 

Nah- We just need our offense ram the ball down their throats and for Josh to take the next step in becoming the best player in the league

Completely agree. KC can have a typical 2023/2024 game as long as B+ or better josh shows up.

That’s remarkable. From a pure fandom perspective I’m glad he is a go. 

 

From a human perspective, this is this guys 5th concussion of his career and he can play in 6 days? Nobody in the NFL gives a shirt about player health or safety, and the independent neuro’s must be on  the take.
 

 

Well...Johnson seemed to think he never actually had a concussion so I think at times the league is erring on the side of caution with players.

KC should not score more than 21 points today regardless. I think Bills can do better than that.

Not ideal but it is what it is. No complaining just get it done.

 

Agree

 

The Chiefs' situation isn't ideal either.  An aging vet TE and a rookie WRs are their only consistently reliable weapons on offense in terms of receiving.  Imagine if that's all we had, the amount of kleenex that would be needed.  All we're missing on offense and remarkably, many seem to think that it's addition by subtraction.  

 

As to Davis, for a WR that's put up three times more receiving TDs than the rest of the WR field combined over the past two seasons' playoffs, about 2/3 of the total yards of all other WRs, including Diggs, and with a 70% or so catch% in the playoffs, we'll see how it plays out, but Sherfield ain't gonna fill in.  

 

Mahomes has passed for more than 306 yards only once this season, and that against one of the league's worst pass Ds.  We have one of the best.  

 

Mahomes has also had only two games with more than 2 passing TDs this season.  Again, both against siht Ds, one of which is the same as the aforementioned.  

 

So yeah, no complaining, no excuses.  It's also difficult to imagine that this won't be the most hyped up crowd at OBD ever.  The fans in attendance will be doing their part in spades.

Who is this “source” and is it even news that TB43 “is not expected to play”?

I don't think anyone is surprised that Bernard is more than likely not playing today.

 

We are all thankful that his injury wasn't season ending.

Agree with CincyBIllsFan. The Bills under McBeane have demonstrated repeatedly their patience and wisdom in bringing players back slowly from injury.

 

I believe there are teams who would be dressing Terrell Bernard today but not the Bills.

 

 

Exactly correct. They don't want to see Tyler Matakevich playing LB in this game. Whether as a starter or a backup, Klein was gonna get the callup.

 

The bills being called wise when bringing back players with repeat concussions? Maybe with other injuries. 

 

And maybe compared to other teams, the Bills are the most patient. But thats just saying they are slightly less evil than their counterparts. And wise? GTFOH.

 

At least see what the league AND THIS TEAM is with clear eyes.

Last I checked we still have a mostly healthy D Line.  They will have to go nuts today.  Bills O should try to control the clock, as i’m sure KC will try to do as well.

Dolphins did fairly well keeping them out of the end zone and kicking field goals.  Their offense isn’t anything to be scared about

Wise and patient relative to most other NFL teams, absolutely I stand by that.

 

I'm glad to hear that you believe you have "clear eyes."

Not having Bernard hurts, damn. 

 

 

If Bernard is even in the conversation to play today I take that as a major win after being carted off. Hopefully this makes him trend to be on the field against Baltimore should we advance.

Didn’t Taron say he felt fine to go back in last week? In general, the NFL just cares about money but in this case I don’t think they were reckless. I pray that proves to be the case.  


He did. I think sometimes we get caught up in the number of concussions without remembering that all concussions are not equal in severity, and everyone doesn’t react the same way to a concussion. It’s entirely possible that Taron’s symptoms were very mild and this was done out of an abundance of caution. 
 

Anyway, it’s great that he is feeling good and will be out there.

This OP report from C. Wolfe is such drivel. "If" and "trending"... Says nothing. Rasul is a game-time decision and TJ has NOT cleared. It's on NFL net right now they are saying Bills are still without TJ, Rasul and bernard and Benford for tonight.

Turn on the TV if you like....

I'll take Schefters word over this Wolfe drivel.
