How the hell do you miss a kick in a dome after you drilled all your kicks outdoors in windy conditions??

How was the wind in Vegas?

Whelp.....wasn't easy to move the ball overall until Cook broke it.  Going to be that kind of game where we are going to have to use all 4 downs at times and I hope we call plays with that in mind.  I think the chunks can come if Cook gets rolling, but they will be few and far between.  

 

That said, it looks like we will have to clearly get every first down based on the Knox spot on that series, but it is what it is.  Going to be a tough battle.

Please do not let the shambling corpse of Nick Chubb run all over us

If that’s what Brady can do with a “scripted” drive, why not script all of the drives? I’ve never understood the scripted drive BS. 

Run into legal trouble with the Writers Guild

Nice to see Cook getting some early touches and the TD! Let's Go Buffalo!

Gilliam is so valuable to this team. Big reason why Cook has his 3rd 1000+ yard season. FB is one of my favorite positions and i’m glad Buffalo still utilizes them. They have for awhile even pre-McDermott always had a FB it seems 

Dion was calling Gilliam pound-for-pound the most athletic dude on the team in the pre-game. Was cool to hear.

2 runs now by HOU right on the average against the Bills D, 6 a pop.

[GunnerBill]

That was Dorian Williams missing his assignment on 1st down.

Time to Record. Good luck Bills Fans.

KISS should be the plan.  Feed the Cook.

[Big Blitz]

Get Bernard off the field. 

[MikePJ76]

this is like a BIG 4-3 with sanders at end and thompson and williams  in.

[Steptide]

If I'm the Texans, I wouldn't even attempt a pass, I'd run every down. 

[KOKBILLS]

Oh man that line of scrimmage is not looking good on run downs...

[Toledo Bill]

why are we alternating our defensive lineman after an initial 3 and out?

[Ralonzo]

Same as last week for TJ Sanders, he's getting blown off the line. At least this week it was a double-team rather than a single-block.
