Based on what proven data, not your opinion from tv or the stands ?. Also please explain how a concussion protocol based on reproducible science , can be cleared in 5 days and part includes not having recurrent symptoms and tests memory and cognition. Yet your “ theory” for Josh throwing ints, and and the D giving up long runs and many chunk plays on third and long as they failed to hold a 17 point lead , is Josh had a concussion? Yet people were verbally attacking players or others on the forum for ” misinformation” before? 👍🤣 Seems fair and like a totally , well thought out, scientifically reproducible theory and you might consider starting a go fund me site so mafia members can donate 17$ a pop so Josh can afford an exam by an independent neurologist ! It’s terrible thinking his processing is so scrambled affecting his play and even elbow perhaps, and he is waking, driving a car,practicing, calling plays, doing podcasts , filming commercials , and in a long ongoing relationship with his GF and family who somehow have not noticed behavioral changes despite these ongoing post concussive effects. Might want to send an overnight letter to the Bills medical staff , they prob are not trained or have experience with TBI situations, and not much time left before we play the Pats! (I know you’re JK , right , and just wanted to joke a little! Best wishes , Happy holidays! 🎄😊)

Haha! You can’t actually be expecting some rational, reality associated answer can you ? 😂

Why do people waste time with posts comparing schedules ? If you note , 2 of those easy teams almost beat us ! Let’s see how we do against the bears who are playing better. , don’t count your chickens, yada. Yada, yada, What is the fins afc east record , oh and what team did they beat when said team was undefeated? Oh ,yeah us but it was the heats fault. Who currently is the #2 afc seed ? Oh yeah , it’s them. Who is 0-2 in the East ? Oh yeah , it’s us. Who has a receiver leading the league in yards? Who has a qb with a higher QB rating and has thrown less ints? Who is doin that under a FIRST YEAR HEAD COACH? Oh yeah , that’s Not us! So what’s your great analytical point with this post now ,,,,oh yeah , you want to denigrate their real accomplishments and play WHAT IF , or LETS IGNORE FACTS CUZ MY TEAM IS SUPPOSED TO BETTER,,,,,LIKE CANDYLAND! ? Why don’t we just see how we play the pats , and let’s just deal with reality , not all the things you are wishing for just cuz Santa is coming to your world soon! How bout we talk about the fins when and after we play them , you know , how reality works ! ? Or do you want to analyze all the potential issues with NFC potential SB teams too ( since in your world there is no way the Bills won’t be in that game) so let’s analyze the Vikes, Eagles, Cowboys, 49er’s schedule as well cuz I’m sure they all played easy teams too? Hey , start with the Vikes season opponents maybe!? Maybe let’s talk when we know who will suit up for our team , and btw, it’s a matchup league , funny how that works so comparing wins vs losses , and scores , is just wasted time. What’s wrong with just acknowledging the Fins are playing well , beat us once , lead the division , are getting excellent qb play under a FIRST YEAR coach who resurrected Tuas career, did a great job before the trade deadline with Chubb and Wilson who are both contributing. So when we actually live up to our potential , and beat them , no one is posting how we played the fins in cold weather and that’s why we won etc. Reality actually matters , not all the what ifs and buts in the world. Let’s celebrate after we actually prove we are better THIS year? Hope Santa is good to you!🎄Happy Holidays!

I know about most of those things buddy. But that doesn’t mean the team was “ loaded “ with bad people as the poster stated. Obj certainly has a history of drama that follows him and there is a reason he doesn’t stick with teams despite the claims “ teammates like him”. I wasn’t posting primarily to comment on obj , tho I am not a fan. I was just saying IMO the 90’s Bills was not loaded with bad people. Kelly was an ass and I knew that just from interacting with him myself. He was caustic but I am only talking about things I personally know. Being caustic is not breaking the law , being removed from a plane suggests illegal behavior and how do you know it was Xanax and prescribed for him? I have taken and prescribed Xanax and it’s not hard to arouse someone who has taken a prescribed, appropriate dose so something else ( like mixing things is very likely). Time will tell. Regarding Kelly he also did tons for Hunters hope and you just want to forget the good!? Almost every person has done things they wish they shouldn’t have esp when young. Bruce is a model Person now as is KElly.by most accounts. So yes Smith got a dui , but does that make him terrible from that point on, and did that mean the team was loaded with bad guys ? I didn’t know about drug stuff but how would I? DOES THAT MEAN A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE TEAM was involved? Was he convicted , was it proven or are you just talking about allegations.? I’m not aware he was convicted so I won’t question his character just based on an investigation or allegation. What about talking about guys like Frank, Kelso, Tasker, Hull, Marv Bebee ? Noticed you chise only examples of a few guys who made mistakes. Again doesn’t seem like the team was” loaded “ with bad people. Marv was the leader and I would say every bit as good as mc d is now from a character standpoint. All I was commenting on is controversy continues all the time with obj , and this is another incident even as he is job hunting! Hey I don’t care if he took Xanax , LEGALLY and LEGALLY has a script for it ! The truth is usually somewhere in the middle and I am sure it’s possible the airline over reacted as well. To say the 90’s Bills team was “ loaded” with bad guys is hyperbole unless you or the OP have articles on the majority of the players backing that up , not stories or anecdotes about a few of them. So ifBennett , Kelley ,, Bruce did those things , is that the majority of that team and does that mean the 90’s Bills were loaded with terrible guys? If they were so terrible , why would you follow them. I know this if Watson was acquired by the Bills to replace Josh , I would be done with the Bills despite following them since 63. . I wouldn’t give them up because of OBJ , but I would not cheer or enjoy watching him play. Just my opinions and I chose not to ignore the many good guys on those 90’s teams. The OP apparently did. Best wishes Badolbilz, I have almost always enjoyed your post over all,these years. 😊👍

Who were all the d bags on the 90 bills? Maybe some egos, but I don’t recall many having that type of reputation , unless you bothered them in public perhaps. I mean HOF inductees, KELLY ( a little caustic) . Thurman , Bruce ( a big ego but hardly a d bag rep) , Reed ( still great guy), Bebee? , Lofton ( met him here in Jax for eagles / pats SB, good guy) , Marv? , Talley ? , Bennett ( met him at at Atlanta airport AFTER the SB LOSS TO COWBOYS as we were boarding at same terminal as he was headed to pro bowl. Treated me well but maybe some other off field issues after his career?) ). But considering 4 years of SB’s and all the autograph hounds bugging them , other than Kelly being a little short tempered , you didn’t hear about them being dragged off a plane losing consciousness, leaving teams, passing out money in a college locker room at LSU, and that’s only a small sample for him. Plus the Bills didn’t jump from team to team only playing fir “ contenders”. Those are just off the top of my head and I’m sure there is more. Just my opinion tho , maybe you knew them better personally? Jamie mueller became a pharmaceutical rep and took a pic of the 63 bills I had hanging in my office and got it autographed by one of the players for me. I have met a few pros over tye years (( best story was on a pjane going to SB 27 in pssedena , MEAN JOE GREEN, came up to my then gf , who looked like a young Hilary Clinton but with a much better body ,😊, and asked her for her autograph on a time mag with Clinton on the cover ! He was extremely polite! My experience is if you don’t bug them in their personal time, most are good guys. I know every team has one or two guys with issues , but I don’t think the Bills “ WERE LOADED” with bad characters; maybe ask Frank reich or Tasker? Lol! Horrible guys! Not sure any of them has the egomaniacal rep OBJ seems to have outside the locker room. Personally I am glad he won’t be on the roster as he has not been a part or contributed to the team chemistry or gone thre adversity with them. Just a mercenary who continues to be in the headlines usually for BS!, and only is seeking a ring , not to really be part of a team or he would still be with the Rams.

But, but we are 8-3 and that’s all that matters according to a couple of “ experts” on the forum here. How dare you complain when our record is so good ! How can you be critical of any aspect of the teams play ! Clearly you just want to complain and be miserable ! You likely have no life outside the Bills And just dwell on them as the only important issue is we are 8-3! You can’t be a true fan! It’s not relevant we are 0-2 in ths divusion , behind kc for our goal of obtaining home field advantage! You are obviously ungrateful and have forgetten the drought years! You are a miserable prick. 😂😀 Haha , I’m just kidding donuts! Please forgive the above as it’s just a joke and never directed at you! I swear! Your points are vslid and well stated. I was just repeating a verbal attack from two “ experts” with all of the above crap last night in the shoutbox when I mentioned it would be nice if the vikes beat the pats to help us as we currently are not playing our best on offense. Pretty laughable stuff but the name calling and personal attacks were ridiculous as one of those two implied they infrequently participated in the chat due to people being critical of the team ; hilariously another’ member pointed out that then someone was impersonating them weekly in the forum using their name! Some never let the facts or truth get in the way of their narrative. You point out important things. We are winning but it doesn’t seem sustainable without a little more creativity from our OC. That’s also coming from analysts like Bill cower , Phil sims, Boomer as well. We could go undefeated the remainder of the season , but that’s seems unlikely. Hey 8-3 is nice , but I was under the impression we want to win a super bowl.! . we just lost to the Vikings who knew our routes , picking off a pass to win after we blew a 17 point lead. The Cowboys just destroyed that team and may get better if obj joins them. Our d has some losses we may not be able to cover up , as Hyde , possibly Miller are done. Seems our best shot is to win in a shootout , so let’s hope our o continues to evolve. Those stats suggest we better! Well analyzed, best wishes ! 😀. Again sorry firvkidding I that first paragraph , but that’s a common thought process on here. 😉🍸

Omg ,,, actually a person who can observe , analyze, have individual thought , AND still be a great Bills fan! You must have missed the 8 pages of posted mob mentality thinking in this thread! Name calling , like “bevis”. , one person knowing said qb must be in excruciating pain that caused 10 ints, ( pain has a scale from 1-10. , excruciating means broken , compound fractures, a kidney stone, cancer eroding into bone pain, obstructed intestinal pain where the heart rate, respiratory rate are increased, nausea and profuse diaphoresus as cold profuse sweating is present not under one’s voluntary control. Throwing a football with an injured yet healing ligament with a qb smiling afterwards is about a level 3 in real life , as even said qb stated his elbow.had no effect , but who lets facts stand in tbe way of a good, biased narrative). No room for logical thought and still call yourself a Bills fan is allowed here. 😊 You are a brave soul having an original thought! I admire your courage and it’s enlightening to read. I know you appreciate how great Josh is or why be here , yet saying Belicheck will be tough next week might bring out hate speech and questioning your football intelligence by the mob! 😊🍸🍸 Certainly you realize we are “8-3” , even tho 0-2 in the division and behind Kc ( only 2 losses sitting in the top seed the Bills stated as a goal for their season and reason Miller was paid 120 mil to make highmark the path to reach the super bowl, while greats like Thurman stated how crucial home field advantage was for. them to reach the Super Bowl , but what’ does he know compared to the mob?) , and only a real Bills fan looks no further than just the 8 wins! Losing to teams with first and second year staffs is just going down the rabbit hole and too deep a dive if you are a “ true” fan! obviously you should never question the first year OC ‘s learning process because that means you’re not a loyal worthy fan unless your opinion is the groups allowed opinion ( funny concept on a message / opinion board where it might be expected to see , maybe even learn from differing view points. Better to shut that down than just read it because words are so physically harmful!) Finally , daring to question the creativity of the o play design (/even when a Vikings cb said they knew the routes well enough to jump one for a game winning int) is borderline Jan 6 th like anarchy and proves you are unhappy and have no life outside Bills football! At least that’s what I was told in an interesting allegory as someone grew up apparently yelling in crowds for their Bills so much so they were calked a “ prick” by their childhood friends! Must have been an awful , traumatic youth or childhood! Personally , I can’t relate to that as if I was ever at a Bills bar or gathering during the great 90’s team years, I rarely drank alcohol because I prefer being in control , a littke shy , and enjoy actually listening to intelligent viewpoints even if different , but that’s Just me. and in my career , you are taught many times to never judge. I know you are totally confident we will beat the pats next week as nothing else is even possible as I read on here , but I just wanted to say thanks for the original ideas, sincerely! By thinking outside the mob, I mean box, and sharing some creative ideas you see teams like the Titans doing , it seems fair to wonder if Dorsey can help life be a little easier for our truly amazing qb (/who I do believe will surpass Jim as the best Bills qb ever ; gosh I hope that’s not too negative about 17) while he is in “ excruciating “ pain. Thx for a great post from an obvious loyal Bills fan! Best wishes. Happy holidays and good health to you and yours! 👍😀

Well , there you go , never say never. He very well could be right. Hey personally I am not affected one way or the other as it’s all speculation unless you examined the knee or you read the mri before it was done. Lol. 😊. I was just saying the younger Dr has proven to be very good at explaining injuries this year. He wasn’t o and couldn’t be definitive as that’s impossible. I think he said something like he feared , etc etc, Nothing wrong with making an educated GUESS. He is paid to do that. All Drs are paid for educated guesses , until an image or tissue oath comes back. It’s called a working differential diagnosis. That’s how they are taught to think Make a list with most likely things at the top and other less likely things down the list. The hunan baody is not a car , it’s a dynamic organism, ever changing so you are trained to think expansively. Let’s sY you go I. With a cough and the Dr says it’s bronchitis. Well, many things act the same. It could also be a pneumonia, asthma, cold, a pulmonary embolus etc. They make a differential diagnostic list if POSSIBULITUES, and the.n work thru that list. I doubt Rap makes a list or has knowledge to do so ! in this case it could be a sprain, it could be a a l tear, it could be an Mcl sprain or tear, it coukd be a medial meniscal tear, etc. Only the Drs reading the MRI will know as close to 100% as possible , until if required, someone scopes and actually sees the extent of damage. So Rap might know what he was told , there in no way his report can be 100% a fact or von would not need aN MRI would he ? So if he doesn’t get or require an mri , then the examining Drs exam is compatible with a sprain and that’s possible. Not Every knee injury tears an ACL , and if there is no laxity , no swelling from bleeding , then there’s likely no tear! That would be great! Alll those Drs were saying is the injury looked suspicious with the awkward medial strain on the joint as he bent , and he was obvioulsy in discomfort for quite a while and didn’t seem to want to place his weight on the leg. Heck, he could have been dancing in the locker room for all we know. and Rap saw that and reported it as a sprain. The drs just saw the initial injury and reaction , and based on their extensive experience, SUGGESTED, it looked like a possible tear. That’s true, but not a fact., just a working diagnosis. It’s their job just like Raps is to be first to spue something! Neither is Fact until more time passes and either he is re examined or an mri shows definitive issues. Hope that makes sense. Time is truths friend in this case. Hey we NEVER FOUND OUT on JOSHS REAL INJURY DID WE? Can Rap tell us that w 100% accuracy , NO, BUT HE CAN SAY JOSH HAS A SPRAINED ELBOW. HE Is REPORTING SOMETHING HE DOESNT KNOW FOR SURE, but his rep is still intact. We will know to some degree if von stays on the active roster or is placed on IR which suggests structural damage. They may not say exactly until it’s reported he is having surgery. If not , it’s a sprain and great news. Raps rep is not held to the high standards a board certified docs is who is licensed every two years based on tested knowledge. I don’t think Rap has to pass a national test or earn a certain number of cme hours every two years to be able to continue to write an opinion. However, a board certified dr must’ Document on a states website proof that he has done so. Take home point: we won’t know unless an actual mri is reported. , and that includes Rap. If no mri is done / required , it’s a minor sprain and that’s amazing considering how it initially looked No one is taking sides , just reporting observations now and that Drs rep is no less credible than Raps! I am hoping for a sprain as I love the Bills., yet initially it appears a little more involved. These guys are truly freak individuals so heck tomorrow he could be dancing , or. In a brace / crutches waiting in a surgery date. Time is always a friend to the truth. Go Bills 😀 best wishes !

Great question. I really don’t know. Maybe they rush to get things out for clicks as it’s there JoB? One sure thing , if someone’s paycheck depends on getting info out , they might not be able to be trusted? It’s possible that’s all the Bills want to be leaked ? Mcd likes keeping things close to his chest so I wouldn’t trust any info until the mri results are in. There is no real repercussion if Rap is wrong! Gosh , I hope it’s best case and just a sprain. One thing about Drs is they are conditioned to always look at the worst case scenario. It’s like set expectations low and then If things are good , you look better delivering great news. Worst case for a dr is to say the Mcl is just sprained and if it’s torn , you look incompetent and it’s a good way to get sued in real life. That’s why they tell you every possible bad thing before even the most common surgery. Then when things go good , the surgeon looks great . Never give false hope! A neurosurgeon never tells or promises full recovery because any result less and you will get sued. So it’s Juarez Dr speak , but thet are trained sports medicine guys and they spend literally years studying mechanisms of injuries. And treating those injuries. So I think they have a level if insight way beyond Rap who is only reporting what he has been told. So , honestly , it looked suspicious fir more than a sprain. But no one knows ( the field Dr probably knows as you test the laxity between the two knees. If the acl is torn, the tibia ( lower leg) slips forward when pulled moreso than the other knee with an intact acl. ) Other than that only an mri will be 100%. The guys are just offering educated opinions based on similar experiences but they can’t know until the MRI is read. MAYBE RAP SPOKE TO THE TEAM ORTHO WHO DID THE FIELD EXAM AND REASSURED RAP the acl was not torn! Just hard to fathom Rap has that type of access to the team Dr. That would be great news. It just LOOKED suspicious for a tear, but only an MRI is definitive. Hope that helps.

I understand, however medicine is based on years of educated guessing , observation , and most injuries have similar mechanisms responsible for their pathology. For example, if you see a guy coughing badly with sputum or shortness of breath , it’s a realistic bet a pneumonia is POSSIBLE! These guys have years of experience and let’s face it , acl tears have common signs and symptoms.and stresses that cause them. Of course no one can DIAGNOSE it 100% correctly without an imaging study , mri in this case. But he is a board certified Dr in sports medicine. That’s all he does. Acl tears and ankle injuries are the most common sports injuries. That’s like saying a pediatrician can’t recognize a diaper rash! , or a dentist can’t recognize a cavity. Or a gynecologist can’t recognize a ,,,,well you get the point! But just a dr saying it doesn’t make it fact !😊 I’m as upset as you are but no reason to shoot the messenger. Could he be wrong , could von just have a lax ACL and this is just a partial tear or sprain of the MCL only.? Yes , but sadly the odds don’t favor that. Your tibia is not supposed to slide forward and back relative to the femur. Add in Vons dismay ( a guy I have not seen without a smile even after a loss ) and it seems reasonable to make a very educated guess. This is not Romo adding his opinion. This rash of injuries is unbelievable. I don’t know how , but if the Bills overcome losing two pro bowl leaders on D ( hyde and von) , it might be their greatest coaching season in Bills history! Mcd , Frazier, Dorsey all have to be almost perfect going forward. No time to feel sorry , it is what it is and we are back in a familiar role , UNDERDOGS! Go Bills, SOMEHOW MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Olsen is just as boring and just throws out platitudes. Romo has quickly gotten stale. His comedic schtick is just not funny any longer. I mean , is this guy worth millions to listen too? Compare to madden , summeral, Michael’s, Harlan, Gus Johnson , and these athletes turned announcers are novelties for a year or so. Soon their lack of broadcasting skills comes thru and they can only explain so many plays. Is Tom Brady going to be worth 30 mil to hear? He is boring and monotone all the time and they all are afraid to burn bridges with teams or players because they don’t want to burn their gravy train. Brady will kiss a## like usual. Who turns in just to hear an ex player; while plenty turn the sound off to avoid the cliche diatribe. They just come across as intern broadcasters milking their sport when they are already millionaires and don’t have the passion that young, upcoming broadcasters do. Do you think they have more passion to play the sport, or just talk about it!? They have no pressure to excel because they already have FAME and money and they are not hungry. Bring in new talent , not guys we have already heard for years drone on at their pressers. Stick to a few min on pregame or podcasts and bing in fresh voices! . Romo is a sarcastic joke now and he just diesnt seem sincere or passionate! He is more interested in funny quips than being creative and bringing something new to his “ analysis”. . I just can’t fathom how much these has- beens get paid to be bland ! Yeah , I’m tuning in to fox to listen to Brady who I hated as a smart a$$ and whiny B for 20 years already ! Lol. Chris Spielman was a. Athlete who did excel at broadcasting and added to the booth. I do miss him. Brady will be a male Beth Mowins , and I hate insulting her that way! 😀

Augie, my thoughts are with you. Bless you and your mom and family. I can empathize. My 96 year old mom ,:who still lives alone at home and can drive her car , just got out if the hospital ( she and my 76 year old sister who is married, both still live in southeastern Ohio in the Steubenville area, about 30 min from Pittsburgh and where Dean Martin was from, but also is very cold during the winter) For a bad episode of congestive heart failure. Luckily she is doing better , and my sister lives close enough to stop by when roads permit. But my sister just had a large surgery on her leg for recurrent melanoma ( sister was a teacher for 40 years who sunbathed in the summers off and oiled and cooked herself in the 60’s / 70’s before sunscreens we’re widely used ) and can’t go pick up my mom now so thanksgiving my mom will be alone as she lives out in the country. To top it off I just turned 65 in July but a strange Medicare snafu fir this year splits my part b , which covers Drs visits , so it won’t kick in till 1/1;23, even tho part A started on 7/1/2022, my birthday month. Hours on the phone with Medicare / SS didn’t resolve it. After 5 discs collapsed in my neck( no trauma , just aging I guess) my urgent neck surgery was unsuccessful in returning feeling to my arms and hands and my balance is off , so I had to finally give up seeing patients in person after 40 years in medicine. Never thought I would miss working or being on call for Thanksgiving. I live in Jax , fl , and I can’t fly up to see my fam for the holidays as my cervical cord is still impinged and I’m not supposed to lift more than 10 LBs cuz that pressure gets transferred to my neck and when I tried lifting more , I begin losing motor function in my hands and left leg. Was supposed to have more surgery but tragically my neurosurgeon, who is responsible for me at least still being able to walk, rolled his suv crushing him and he is now a quad! I swear you can’t make this tragedy up. So this Thanksgiving is the first I can remember as my 96 year old mom will be spending alone as neither my sister or I can travel to be with her and with her recent CHF, she is not supposed to do much or be out in that bitter cold in Ohio right now. just wishing all you here good health, as it’s no cliche that good heal means everything ! Enjoy Time with your families and loved ones , as you never know when life can suddenly turn. Enjoy Thanksgiving and the Bills together and while we all want the Bills to win , the important thing is creating another memory of being together! Happy Thanksgiving, and go Bills!

Saw him live and am old enough to have experienced his peak career time. Was pretty funny and live show was great as long as you didn’t sit close to the stage! Was a family type show as far as I remember , certainly not edgy or vulgar and didn’t attack lifestyles etc. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy This and losing the guy who played lebeau ( French chef guy of hogans hero’s , does makes me sad. Had seen Robin Williams in Vegas not long before his death. It’s like losing parts of your own life as these icons and larger than life people that were legit celebrities move on to something better I can only hope and pray for. They provided moments of relief and laughs and I am thankful they were a part of my memories. Time flies and it really is too short. Bless them , and I pray you all enjoy your own health as long as you can prolong it so you can keep enjoying the Bills, your family and friends, great holidays, and even some more beautiful snowfalls! 😊🍸

Not overreacting! Our dbs are terrible tracking the ball , rarely make PBU’s , drop too far off receivers and give up the first down marker , then are poor tacklers with bad pursuit angles. There’s a reason they currently are all low round draft picks. We miss poyer, hyde , white , and even Elam should be better. Currently we lack a #1 cb or shut down corner so we get exposed on these long distance downs , esp as our line can’t get home to finish sacks either. Bad situation. Frazier can’t keep sitting back until we beat healthy, or this will continue.

He just needs confidence back. This is on dorsey. Diorsey allowed the browns to take Diggs out. That’s unacceptable. The route tree is terrible , too congested , poor spacing. On the all 22 Josh has no open receivers. Dorsey needs to keep running,, get Hines involved as out #2 has a 17% drop rate, and be more creative with formation ( once today he actually did put Diggs in the backfield forcing a time out by the Browns! ) and motion and Josh will have more open guys. Do quick slants so Josh has no reads and csn just drops and throw so he gets confident. This is in Dorsey’s hands and mind!

Well you can’t SELECT which catches you want to consider. 193 yards , career high so far , is not taking him out. Diggs hasn’t had that much yardage in a game , or if he did he surely wouldn’t br complaining on the sideline to Mcd! That is being fair! Lol. If that’s our best d scheme to take him out we are really going no where. He did get taken out by Dallas today tho. That’s he same argument everybody uses about the run D ; well , if you take away the 81 yard td run our run defense was fantastic. Unfortunately there is a thing called a scoreboard and it isn’t selective about what counts. Why not just discount a whole quater, I’m sure our d would look great! Not being argumentative, but teams are scheming to take Diggs away and it’s working more as we go along. I’m just saying dorsey meeds to scheme more with motion , like today he put Diggs in the backfield and the Browns immediately burned a time out because they Chas no scheme for that. So Dorsey needs to be more proactive with formations , motion which are much harder to cover Diggs and then he won’t have to complain to Mcd We have to do more as our other receivers, esp Davis withal 17% drop rate , are so far disappointing and unproductive. How much productivity did we get from the slot or McKenzie today? Zip as far as I know. That’s not a successful offense. Kc is the model of success, winning another from behind, and we better be able to out score them. 😊👍

Great points about Mcd and I agree! But unless he can get Dorsey to step up with more creativity , this roster isn’t Super Bowl bound. 6 fgs won’t keep cutting it and it’s a critical sign the red zone offense is ineffective. Can’t have your #1 reciever almost totally taken out of a game ,; didn’t happen to Jefferson did it from the Vikings? Dorsey did some better with run game today , but he hasn’t gotten creative with Hines at all and route tree is terrible with poor spacing. Receivers aren’t open. Mcd did save the season for the moment , but Thursday is still critical and after watching how Reid is so creative with his offense and use of young players , unless Mcd can bring more out of Dorsey, I fear we won’t win the East or move on in the playoffs as a wildcard. Chiefs are once again holding on to home field and we know how that goes if we have to go there twice in a year. injuries on D are killing this team so it comes down to maximizing our O production. If Mcd can get that across to Dorsey , and there are some signs he did as Dorsey stuck with run game today, we may have a chance. They have to solve these red zone issues tho. But like you pointed out , Mcd was masterful today , saved this game , and we still have a chance. Many analysts are picking fins to win the East now , Bills to be a 4 or lower seed and if that happens despite todays great Mcd performance , it might be a failed, wasted year. Hoping Mcd can have his best year , and not be outperformed by a first year coach Lin Miami. Let’s see how Mcd gets us thru Thanksgiving, as Detroit comes in on a 3 game winning streak. Another huge challenge , let’s go Bills!

Tre will not be back Thursday. No medical issues change in 4 days so if he didn’t play today why would he Thursday.? Brown and Wood were critical ON AIR today so fo pr them to say something is huge. It was stated an insider reporting he is not wanting to play on turf ; if this has any truth other than just not wanting his first return to be on turf, it could be career changing regarding the Bills. Some smoke means there is fire somewhere. Even if he returns , he won’t be t6e same immediately. We have no #1 cb and it’s showing with brisett getting ove 300 yards , good QBs will kill this defensive backfield. Poyer still playing hurt, can’t cover everyone. Bills coaches are obviously growing increasingly frustrated with Tre or that stuff doesn’t get to Brown and Wood! 😊

There has been a plethora of simple and high ankle sprains and even one ankle fracture ( crowder) this year. It’ SEEMS unusually high and I am wondering why this is almost a weekly occurrence. Perhaps an athletic certified trainer can comment , but this seems like one type of injury you could better prevent. Better taping techniques, better use of shoe type and even use of ankle splints/supports that fit in shoes and limit lateral and medial movements at the ankle mortise / talar joint area. Just seems like this lauded group of trainers could decrease the numbers of ankle injuries going on. Would be interested in ideas from guys with experience as I don’t think we are seeing this league wide. Going to be tougher week if Morse, groot, epenesa all are out against Lions who are on s three game win streak. We can’t afford losses hanging on to a wildcard spot in the playoffs in a year with a talented roster ( tho now this receiving corp.may have been very overrated).Any thoughts on ankle injury prevention? Thx!

True. Dorsey’s play designs are still an issue. He has to get our #1 receiver the ball. Other teams , like the Vikings , don’t let their top receiver be taken COMPLETELY out of a game.

And taking the ball out of chubbs hands! Thank goodness.

Hmm, what is Highmark stadium turf,,,? If this is actually something, maybe he us just referring to his first game back, as otherwise it’s a career changing issue. Time will tell , but if true this would be very hard to work around as the new stadium is years away. Have to to think it just refers to first game back.

Yep this shocks me.
