Still optimistic for a win but I don’t see how losing the best player on defense doesn’t make a difference 

The Patriots can make explosive plays but they're not outside long balls or types of plays that Benford makes a big difference..

 

Boutte gets TDs by being bigger. 

 

Hairston is better on this game than we realize. 

 

I just see is fine as a match up leveraging the inside better.

Hope proves me wrong and don’t think it’s critical but Coleman over Davis I find strange.

Don’t love Gabe being down with Palmer back and not certain to make it through the game. 
 

and…of course, nothing but a bunch of scrub douchebags on the cheats inactives. No one of any consequence. 

Was hoping Spillane was gonna be inactive.

 

They do have Will Campbell and Milton Williams on IR which are big losses.

 

But ya that's about it

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Bosa and Palmer back is good news. 
 

Sucks about Benford but expected given the recent news. 
 

Gabe out is interesting.

Ok here we go

Out...

Bernard 

Gabe Davis

Savage

Benford 

 

Gabe is out? Dear God don't tell me this is the coaching staff's "here's another chance Keon! We're feeding you the ball so you can prove you're worthy of our 1st pick" games. 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Gabe out over Coleman is something. Savage still can't get a jersey. Kinda surprised there too. Bernard out means more Shaq, and Patriots may wanna run in this weather, so I like that.

I'm not super worried about Benford. The conditions and him having a foot issue make it ok to rest him. This will be a ball control game & slow game to start. Big play potentials could be back breaking but the Patriots aren't a big play team any more than other teams. I think they'll look to capitalize on a few early and Maye can definitely hit a long ball to hurt us... But I don't see that as a script. 

 

Diggs will have over 60 yards, no doubt. 

That’s what i’m saying. It’s going to be a weird and sloppy game. The Pats are missing some key defensive pieces. The Bills are going to run it a ton. I personally think they should let Allen do his thing in this weather because he’s so good in the snow.

I'd love to see the #7 Chiefs go into Foxborough and knock of the #2 Pats. Then knock off the #1 Broncos and Bills host Chiefs in AFCCG. Story book ending to the Ralph. 

It would be nerve-wracking, but if they won, it would put to prevent the asterisk that's going to be applied by KC fans for all time if the Bills win the Super Bowl without facing the Chiefs.

Right. Knew about those two being out, but everyone all worked up earlier in the week about Spillane and Landry being out. Of course, not so.

People used to say that about me all the time and I turned out OK. Let’s reserve judgement until after the game. If it goes wrong, then we can collectively lose our *****.

[BillsFan130]

McDermott always says, "everything is earned".

 

What has Keon "earned" to be dressed over Gabe?

 

He has missed meetings, half asses routes , and has a very immature attitude 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I'm wondering if Gabe came down with illness, only thing that makes sense!

Coleman moved inside maybe interesting today. Their nickel is hardly a man 5'8.

 

I'd put Coleman inside and bully that lil person.

What’s wrong with Benford????

This isn't the game to get amped up, also.

 

Let Josh do his thing but don't let this team go whole hog.

 

There are 3 games left that are all as equally important since we are playing for a wildcard.

 

The playoffs mean more than a win or loss today. 

[Bills14221]

If the Bills use Coleman in the slot then this can make sense.  You have a healthy Palmer on the outside taking Davis’s spot.  The question is can Palmer make it through the game?

I think the little man had an INT against Allen in first game.
