Game week thread - Pats at Bills SNF

[Billsfanatic8989]

I think Maye is capable of putting TD's on the board. Not just move the ball and stall. Like Rattler for instance. The D needs to get turnovers off him.

 

The Patriots D is vulnerable. So Allen should be able to get at least 24 points. 

 

Vrabel is the x-factor. He has had success limiting top tier QB's before.

Must be healing slower than they hoped. On the short clips I've seen from practice this week he doesn't look entirely comfortable after drills.

 

The original report was that someone stepped on his foot in practice.

was it an elephant?

Why is this game important?..

If the Bills win, especially convincingly, they probably cuise to the AFC East title again, and are the favorites for the #1 seed and 1st round bye.

If they lose, they would only have a 1 game lead over the Pats(who would then have the tie-breaker) and probably be nipping at their heels the rest of the season.

 

Because of all of the above, I would fully expect an all out playoff type effort by the coaching staff, Allen, and the rest of the team Sunday night..they know how important this game is, too.

From your lips to Gods ears! (Does God have ears, and if so, are they really needed)?

Sucks about Dorian Strong, I wonder if the neck injury is a season ender. Our CB depth is suddenly very thin. Who is even the 4th guy in after Ingram, Cam Lewis I guess?

 

Two DTs elevated makes me nervous that both Oliver and Sanders will miss the game.

 

Another year with certain position groups on defense getting hit with multiple injuries. Just crazy.

 

I made a post about Strong on Thursday, hoping that it was just some stiffness in the neck but noting it was worrisome to see a Full Practice on Wednesday and then a DNP on Thursday with a Neck designation. 

 

I'm really curious to know what happened as IR for Neck doesn't sound good.

Strong to IR and Dane not called up.  What do they Do when Tre has to sit, put Ingram in there? He was not even trusted enough to take a snap from Elam in the AFCCG. 

 

This is the second time we've moved a player to IR from one position and signed someone to the 53 from another position. 

 

All the injuries at DT and LB seem to have facilitated this. Kind of surprised to see Ciarlo brought up over Jenkins. We've called Jenkins up twice already due to LB injuries and haven't called Ciarlo up once. So just from the stand point of having only 1 more call up for Jenkins and having all 3 for Ciarlo, I'd have figured it made more sense to do it the other way around. 

 

But as for Boundary CB's, they must feel that both Ja'Marcus Ingram and Cam Lewis (who can play anywhere in the Secondary) is above Dane Jackson and they're going to roll with Benford, White, Ingram, and Lewis. Or we're dealing with so many injuries that they felt it more important to bring up 2 DT's and a LB this week than it would to have Jackson in over Lewis.

 

Either way, here's hoping that we're healthier next week and can call up Dane then if necessary. And that we open Hairston's practice window after this week and can have him in Week 8 or Week 9.

Oliver does just enough to make you think he’s eventually going to have a great season but it never comes.

You have high hopes for Gabriel?

 

I think Minnesota wins. They have been overseas for two weeks, and a 1st time starter is going against an aggressive defense that is great at showing different looks to confuse a QB

I think that they are both bad. I like Cleveland’s defense and plus money.

Bills defense is gonna make Maye look like mvp tomorrow. At least the offense is in tact 

Unless they stall out like they've been prone to do lately
