I mean seriously WTH?  Guys who are really needed not only those that just seem to go down all the time randomly

I keep hearing that the same happens to other teams, but aside from Detroit last year, we seem to be in the front of the line when Fate is handing out long-term injuries (or injuries that happen at the worst time, like Benford in the KC playoff game and Bernard the year before that).

Division record, then common games, then conference record.

 

So we’re kind of screwed for division record because we lost to Miami. The Pats still have a game against Miami and NYJ, so it could look different if they drop one of those.

 

We need to go 1-0 today.

 

Everyone is getting the November jitters, when the only thing that matters is being healthy and playing great in January. The last time we didn't make the final 8 and play in the divisional round was in Jan 2020 when we lost in the WC in Houston. Since then five straight opportunities to play the best of the best and hope to go 3-0 while 7 of the top 8 teams end in disappointment. Home is better than the road, but beating three of the best teams in a row with at least one game Neutral is the opportunity we should all be focused on.

 

Today I'm channeling 2006 in Houston when we took a 14-0 first quarter lead on two 83 yard TDs Losman to Evans.
Then after going punt, punt, punt, int, punt, punt, punt, punt on eight straight quick  possessions, had a final two minute drive ending in a 15 yard TD to Peerless Price for the win with nine seconds left.

 

Go Bills.

49ers have lost Aiyuk, Bosa, and Greenlaw for the year and had to play most of this season without their starting QB. That’s after playing without CMC and Aiyuk for most of the year last year.

That's very clear.  The question is whether, once the player is past his 3 free elevations, he is subject to waivers and MUST go to a new team if offered.

No. The player is still on the practice squad regardless if they use the 3 call ups or not

They need to sign to the active roster after the 3rd call up.

Texans play the Chiefs in a couple of weeks.  That will go a lot farther as to who makes the playoffs than this game.

Ravens play the Steelers and Bengals both 2 more times.

Those games will decide the division.

Yes but the Chiefs Ravens and Texans all have the same 5-5 record. Texans are ahead of both. With a loss today that will put them behind both… at least until Ravens and Chiefs lose again. It’s a tight race for the last WC spot. Either the Bills or Pats will likely take the first one.

The 49ers are right there with us this year.

I like the Amazon shows player walk ins  with theme in background before pre game show.

They literally lost their best qb, best d-lineman, and best LB (one of the best in the league, Fred Warner), and they have also been without their best WR. That is a lot worse than the Bills.

From Joe Marino

 

What's up, Bills Mafia!? No weather report this time, with NRG Stadium being a closed venue tonight.

 

Bills inactives vs. Texans:

 

WR Keon Coleman

WR Curtis Samuel

TE Dalton Kincaid

OT Chase Lundt

DT Phidarian Mathis

CB Ja'Marcus Ingram

 

 

Keon Coleman is officially inactive, and it says a lot considering Curtis Samuel is out. Elijah Moore is getting the opportunity over Coleman. The young man is firmly in the doghouse and is in serious danger of being left behind, especially if the offense continues to look better without him.

 

Good test tonight. 8-3 into a mini bye would be amazing. GO BILLS!

Only if the team wants them to be active in a game I thought.

Fred Warner, not Greenlaw.

Honestly, I'm just as confused.  This is what I'm reading from August:

What other rules apply to NFL practice squad members?

Up to six of the 17 players can have unlimited NFL experience, which is a big development in recent years. Previously, players could have no more than two accrued NFL seasons for eligibility.

Every Tuesday, teams can designate four players as protected, so they can't be placed on another team's active roster from that day until kickoff.

Two players can be promoted to the active roster on game days. Then they return to the practice squad, unless the team offers a one-year deal.

Teams can't activate a player more than twice; after the second time, they must decide whether to promote him to the active roster.

 

I believe that they had to do that last year with Will Clapp last year.
