That's crazy, McDermott is going to play a guy with an ankle and a rib injury?  He's usually so conservative and sits anyone on the fence.

McDermott knows the situation.

Both Hardman and Gabe are on the PS. They aren't going to call up 2 receivers. Unless you think one will get signed to the active roster within the next day.

Remember, they’ve got Codrington sitting on the 53 and inactive every week…he’ll likely be released.  Hardman takes his place.

Also could be in just to fair catch punts.

That may happen at some point but he has been here 1 week. I doubt they make that move already.

Godwin and Irving out for what it's worth.

I heard on ESPN last night that Irving was trending towards playing. Is there new news on this?

I guess there are two different discussions for me. 

 

Is the division race over? Of course not. It won't be even with a loss on Sunday. Still 7 games left. Though, can't afford a 5th loss. Because that may make that December 14h game in Foxborough not as important. 

 

Winning a SB? I just don't see it happening. And frankly, that's the only thing we care about. 

 

If the Bills win the division and do not make it to the SB, it's still another year wasted. Nobody will care about winning the division.

I will.

He and Godwin are ruled out. I still think TB wins but that’ll help

Bowles just said both are out for Sunday, but trending OK.

All in all, the worst of it is Hoecht - we barely got to see him, but man did he make a difference.  Obviously, losing Oliver also hurts, but I feel some confidence that he is back for the playoffs.

 

No excuses this weekend.  Coming off a brutal loss, at home, pretty healthy - gotta hope that we can show the world we're still in the mix for the AFCE and 1 seed.

 

 

The KC game was awesome and the 2 best players not named Allen and Cook,  were Hoecht and Kincaid.  Other guys need to step up for this game, and coaches need to have an A game coaching.

What I am hoping to see on O, especially the passing game.

 

Play Davis over Shavers

If Shakir and Kincaid are out pull up Hardman too

Play more up tempo or at least mix it up - dont snap at 1 second on the play clock every play

Limit D ability to sub - worked great vs KC

Mix up the routes - it has been way too predictable. Every WR can run just about every route

More quick slants and quick outs - less WR screen

More Cook wheel routes

Send guys streaking down the seam - at least will attract safety attention and open up for mid level routs and slants

Beat the blitz - hot routes or roll Allen away from the blitz

They were always doubtful. Practicing in a limited fashion, but not likely for this game.  It was bad news reporting if you heard that.

I was surprised when the reporter said it.

If the Bills go one and done, you will be content that they won the division?

Can't let Baker scramble around. They have injuries at receiver so that should help.

I think if they win the division they will not be one and done.  But I'd rather win the division and lose than not make the playoffs or be a wild card.  One step at a time.

Probably by some of the many posters who demand instant gratification and use those and fantasy football stats as the only “true” measure of performance.
