We are going to absolutely obliterate the Bucs

 

Sports narratives always get busted. 

 

Bills down and out, fire Beane, fire McDermott, Allen looks sad, need a WR... Bucs a buzzsaw on offense, Baker potential MVP

 

SO

 

Look for Coleman to have over 100 yards, Baker to throw 2 INT and be sacked 5 times, Allen to complete passes to 7 different players, and Bills win 34-17

 

The narratives here are interesting. Both teams are 6-3, coming off a loss. We lost to the lowly Dolphins, but the Bucs lost at home. So both will be desperate for a win. I would watch with great interest if I were a neutral fan.

With multiple Bills players saying the 2-7 Dolphins wanted it more than the 1 seed chasing Bills, maybe they can muster up the focus to care about the Bucs since they’re actually a decent team.

The Bucs are 6-3 just like the Bills. I am not saying it won't be a tough game because it probably will be. But let's not make them out to be the dynasty Patriots teams when we all knew the Bills had no chance. Plus, aren't the Bucs dealing with a bunch of injuries as well.

Weird year for the Bills. Beat the Ravens and Chiefs, lose to the bottom dwellers.

 

Critical game, but we typically respond well in these situations, so I think we bounce back.

 

Go Bills!

The general perspective of the fans (not reliable, I'm aware) is they don't expect to see him for another 2 weeks. Which is good because Bucky is skilled...but the Bucs have other good RBs. 

The McDefense should be able to keep Rashaad White to under 150 - 160 yards.

Is that 1st half totals or final game totals?

Final game ... Just be glad it's not Bucky.

Expect the Bucs to do exactly what Miami did to us. Stack the box and dare our bum WRs to beat them. 

 

Brady better be ready to commit to passing out of heavy sets like we did against KC, although Kincaid most likely not playing is going to make that less effective.

Honestly, it would be malpractice to play us any other way.

[DapperCam]

This team seems to be bipolar with motivation issues, so who knows which Bills team will show up. Maybe they need a shrink.

Who's your guys' prediction for who gets hurt in practice this week?

[Big Turk]

Looks like an ugly weather day from the early forecasts...

 

48 degrees winds 10-20 mph with higher gusts. Chance of rain 80%. Always a chance the rain holds off or ends earlier as it's still 6 days out, but not looking pretty as of right now.

I think the only way we have a shot is if we get a large number of our injured players back (obviously the ones who are not out for the season...but the day-to-days and week-to-weeks). We're too thin at DL and if we go out there without both Palmer and Kincaid...I don't know how we'll score anything.

 

Big week for the training staff.

Palmer won't play. It will be too cold for him. What is up with Dorian Williams hardly playing yesterday? Hopefully Epenesa can play and what is up with Bosa and the club on his hand?

I agree with you.  A few weeks ago I had this game a loss.  But that was before the humiliation in Miami yesterday.  Had they comfortably beaten the fins, I think this game would have been tricky.  Now i believe the Bills will be re-focused, have a great week of practice and preparation.  They play their best when media and fans are all over them.  This should be a victory.

 

Now with all that being said...if the Bills do lose this game, we'll know the season is likely cooked.

Every team will do this. The Texans game could be a shutout.

Bosa hurt his hand I think late in the game against KC.

Tough to tackle with one hand but I guess they had no choice but to play him.

What do you mean? Palmer is Canadian.

I mean he made several impactful plays in the run game, so it wasn't all bad.
