Definitely not.

 

He's lost at least one, the Thursday night opener against the Jets a few years ago.

Actually, yes, he is perfect on Thursday night games.  8-0.

Disagree. I think Rudolph is very possibly an upgrade from Rodgers.  For whatever reason, Tomlin has a track record of not always starting the best QB on the roster (think Russ Wilson, Justin Fields and Kenny Pickett).  Rudolph isn’t great, but not bad.  I thought he played well in the playoff game vs the Bills a couple years ago…

The Bills have to play turnover-free football in this game. If they do, I think they'll win. And they have to establish the run.

They beat Miami 28-21 on a Thursday night this year too.

Texan's defense is no Joke.  One of the best pair of edge rushers in the league in Anderson and Hunter, Rankins is an elite DT.  OL will have to come to play.  Our injury report is starting to creep into the offensive side of the ball as well. Wide Receiver for instance is a bit uncertain and on a short week.

 

Bills O - 387.4 yards per game #2 in the league 29.2 ppg 4th in the league.  Texans defense allows 258 yards 16.3 points per game, both best in the league.

 

Rankins ELITE DT?????????? Im interested to know the rest of your elite DT list.....

Isn’t Josh something like 8-0 on Thursday night games?

We're about to go 8-1 now since this is brought it up.

 

We're losing for sure.

to be fair, his injury was always going to be a multi-week one.

 

the one guy I am more annoyed at is Samuel. Given how little he actually gets the ball and is contacted at least by a tackler, his injury rate is absurdly high.  An elbow and neck? Give me a break.

In fairness, he was never going to play in this game on a short week. He may be back for Pittsburgh (that would be 4 weeks from the injury).

By that logic we should have lost after the bye week because it was brought up many times that McDermot is undefeated coming off the bye.

Agree...may have been a very outside shot he played Sunday, although likely not, but no way he is playing on a Thursday short week.

Moore, Shavers and Coleman appear to be the only 100% healthy wide receivers we have.

 

Assuming 6 WR will be active on gameday with Shakir, Palmer and Davis being banged up/listed on the injury report, 3 healthy and 3 managing injuries and playing.

Cant lose to Davis Mills.  Just can’t.  Thats the game break down. 

never trust a guy with two last names

[HappyDays]

I think we match up well in this game. So they have Stingley and Lassiter... Whatever, we can't throw outside against the likes of JuJu Brents and Jack Jones, so it's not like that was ever going to matter. They have the best EDGE duo in the league, well we have great pass protection on both ends. This is a game our offense is built to win - punish them with the run and throw over the middle.

 

The defensive game plan is easy. Bracket Nico Collins and expose Davis Mills' complete lack of mobility in the pocket.

 

It's a matchup league and I don't think Houston's strengths matter with how our team is built, while their weaknesses play right into our preferred game script.

Wow

 

i forgot that they played two consecutive Thursday games in 2022

[BillsFan130]

I hope Codrington takes Hardmans spot for returner and Moore takes Samuel's spot.

 

Want nothing to do with Coleman after how good the offence looked without him

Davis in not on the injury report. He is still on the practice squad, so they don't need to provide status updates. 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Mecole Hardman is hilarious.

We sign him.

We gave him a red carpet press release announcing that he's with us.

He fumbles.

He's injured.

He's out.

 

Hilarious.

[ganesh]

Looks like Shaq Thompson is back,..That would be a big lift for the Defense.
