Has anyone complained this game is a night game and will be poor quality football and have to stay up late and make it a rough Monday?  I miss 1 pm games.  

I wake up 2am for my job.  These late night games are brutal

Ugh. Increasingly looking like a lost year for Hairston

But they can open it at any time, correct?

That's brutal. I wake up at 10am or so for my job. I get there at 7ish, though

Bit of good news.

I believe so but I highly doubt the window opens in the next two weeks for Hairston. I don’t know details but obviously he had a pretty significant injury.

For years we complained about our basement-dwelling Bills never getting prime time exposure.

 

We were ecstatic when we were on the Thanksgiving Day docket vs the Cowboys and Allen took over that game. Our Bills were on the map and getting more recognition.

 

Now prime time is the norm for our Bills and they have a great network draw, but their schedule is lot less predictable.

 

...be careful what you wish for right?

I think Brown being out against the saints was precautionary, so I'm hopeful he plays this week.  Although any calf tweak is super scary these days.

 

Milano should have had enough time to recover.  Oliver I don't know at all, really can't say how bad his injury was other than they didn't IR him.  We could use them both for sure.

Honestly, I think its time to have a conversation about Shaq Thompson getting many more snaps over Dorian Williams.  

 

 

This matches with what I see.   I think the defense would be much better with him on the field.

Particularly the pass defense.  Air Raid Hour had Judge predicting that Shaq might see time over Dorian in the pre game.  Was a good call also a good Bills focused pre-game that comes out early Sunday so you can listen at your leisure.

he is a very physical player....with good knowledge and instinct.   He should be starting immediately

I think Shaq has had 3 of the biggest hits of the season for us

Guys look to be moving around pretty good to me. No red non contact jersey. Have to imagine they go with no setbacks, but what the hell do I know?

years ago, Im sure you remember the game.  I had a lot going on in my life- my job of 25 years had new owners, and I was getting let go.  My friends knew I had a lot going on.  They planned a 3 day Tuna Fishing Trip in the Canyons in the North Atlantic.  I pleaded I cant go, I have a lot going on, I get sea sick, and the Bills are MNF for the first time in 20 years or something.  They said we wont accept no for an answer, you are coming with us.  Once we left shore, and once we lost sight of land, you dont have a worry.  I felt a world of stress lifted off my shoulders. Theres no reception out there,  I have good friends, and they knew I needed that.  We saw lots of Dolphins and Whales, we caught  lots of Yellow Fin and Blue Fin Tuna, we caught one Big Eye Tuna, and we caught one Mako.   We had the freshest Sushi for breakfast.  After we returned to shore, I called a bunch of friends and family to come over to my place and eat the freshest Tuna.  They all said "You are so glad you missed the game!  The Bill were kicking the Cowboys asses! I don't know how they lost.  They were up big, and they had a few turnovers late, and Dallas won.  You would of been so pissed.  Its a good thing you missed that game! LOL"

Sorry if I missed it, did McDermott say if Oliver and Milano were practicing today?

With Dorian's injury, it wouldn't surprise me that the Bills decide to put him on IR to make room for Hoecht and Ogunjobi.

I kind of like the uni's. After seeing some of the hideous throwback colors on some other teams, they look like they're from the future or something.

 

I always wonder if certain colors are easier to see for the QB when he's looking downfield for a receiver.  Seems like if there anything to that, these would stand out a bit.

Ooo I didn't know he was hurt. That would make sense
