I'm not sure what the concussion protocol entails, but I get a weird sense Dion Dawkins is going to struggle to get through it. With all due respect, his overall demeanor in post-game press conferences I've witnessed over the years has had me questioning whether he has a learning disability. Again, I do not mean any disrespect at all; just something I've picked up on. Could also be that he's just a unique dude and I'm completely wrong.

I heard on NFL radio today that only 3 guys this season in concussion protocol have actually played that week.

As I understand the protocol, I would think this would make it easier for him to "graduate".  You're evaluated for a return to "baseline", so it would be easier for a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal to get back to normal than your basic Norman 😜Einstein type.

A ten-game winning streak is a lot to ask, especially with a slew of injuries, no bye, and Brady still calling plays. Realistically, the only way they're going to make it is if the offense is utterly humiliated by Pittsburgh and McDermott fires Brady. THEN I see them running the table. 

I don’t think they actually need to run the table to make the playoffs but it’s close and this Pitts game is one of those musts imo. 
 

division is out of reach imo. Even running the table, I don’t see the Pats dropping what will likely be needing to be 4 games, not 3 that some are suggesting. We are 3 games behind but tying them doesn’t give us the division. They currently hold other tie breakers such common games. 
 

as for needing to dump Brady, that’s not needed but Brady needs to come with a new scheme of plays. We also need Kincaid back. That is Josh safety blanket. The offense is night and day with him out vs in. If they get rid of Brady then end of season is better at this point.

Any guesses on what the corresponding move would be to active Grable to the 53? Maybe waive Jordan Phillips, if no one else being moved to IR?

Interesting. But I wonder if players coming off TNF and a few days extra rest are part of that statistic. If not, then Hairston seems to be trending towards being the 4th this year.

I believe they still have an open roster spot, after getting rid of Moore.  So nothing needs to be done.  I would also suspect that the next player to be moved off of the 53 would be Phidarian Mathis vs Jordan Phillips.

WTF, man…I mean really? Why in the world would you think it was a good idea to come in here and post this?

 

Our fans suck. Like, truly suck. 
 

Yeah, just like the "fan" in here who said it would be great for the Texans to win last week because it hurts the Chiefs.

Giving each of your starting tackles zero help against the #1 pass rush in the league and losing both for stretch run games seems to be pretty much a fireable offense.  

Even if they had the damn TEs chip FFS.

Unless they were both injured on the games first play it really doesn't. They were both playing like cheeks the entire night.

Maybe, but they definitely got way worse in the second half. That’s when most of the sacks happened.

 

Especially the last 3 drives were brutal (Brown sat out the last drive).

[KOKBILLS]

Listening to most of the Pittsburgh insiders they don't seem to think the Steelers have much of a chance against us... But man it seems like the Bills are going to be limping into this game... The worst case scenario injury factor for this game is insane...

Because he got his ass kicked against Houston and now appears to be going up against some more beast pass rushers with probably our two tackles out and crap at wide receiver.

 

I guess I shouldn’t state the obvious that the man very well may take a beating for the second week in a row? That’s my fault? I suck for stating what I did?

 

Nah.

Is it too soon to point out Joshy kicked his feet like a petulant child on the ground after getting run over from behind?  The rest of the team saw that and responded accordingly by not giving a crap.

 

The gig is up, and it isn't just the coach this year.  The players don't want to go the extra mile for Josh any more.

Dude it was a clean hit what are they supposed to do start a  brawl lol

 

Some of the Bills players literally took a knee and were praying when Josh went down you are way off base 

 

The people on the team literally almost had a heart attack

[RichRiderBills]

I'm going to have a crazy hot take and it's that difference this year is mainly turnover related ( i.e not getting them and us committing them) AND Josh not taking short easy completions trusting YAC. 

 

We fix both those we will be fine, warts and all. 

 

That being said not saying Brady and WRs are not suckin.
