That's a possibility, but he was looking pretty lively in the video clilps that came out from practice - and again, Beane would not need to make this move until Saturday, when there are two more days of practice and three more days of treatment to look at
McK was not at practice today.

Morse, Oliver and Phillips as well. And, again, after the Bills played on Monday night.
yes also this. I only mentioned the secondary because it was more about Hill and Waddle.

I am sorta expecting a Tyreek wildcat package. With how limited they are they need something new. And if you took Skylar off the field and were able to get Tyreek the green dot some interesting things could happen. Get him lined up quick, look at the defense and tell him the play before 15 seconds.
Agree. That tweet is a classic example of correlation doesnt equal causation. Teams with the lead run the ball to shorten the game. Teams behind throw to extend. That does not mean they got their lead cause of their running effectiveness.
I really dont want any trick plays this game for several reasons. As you say they need to hope the defense creates turnovers. Why give them plays that are more risky for turnovers. if we run boring conservative offense (ball out quick and run plays), we might not boat race them but we do take away their best chance for them to beat us. Deep shots have Josh standing in the pocket against hte strength of their team. Also why give away the trick plays this week. Save them for a better team.
I believe he is talking about what should be *Miami's* gameplan. Not Buffalo

You're right, I keep forgetting it was against the Titans.
The first game was unique in that it was Hyde's first game out, Poyer was out, and Jackson was out.

Has Bridgewater practiced yet?

Massive disparity in team health on Wednesday

A 30% Micah Hyde might be an upgrade for us. I hope it's about him but these things never seem to be what people think they are and really never seem to be that significant at all. I could see it being something like Hamlin is getting a Pro Bowl invite or the Bills are giving out #3 shirts at the game or something.
I would assume the gatorade comment refers to dumping gatorade on the coach at the Super Bowl though so maybe it is big
Sometimes these random rumors are correct though...like with Beasley.

If it's related to Hyde I would think initial step/announcement would be taking him off IR (which would be exciting enough) - nothing related to actual playing. I've thought all along if he did come back it would be to suit up for the SB (even if extrememly limited actual playing role - think Stamkos). Taking him off IR with potential to suit up for SB also gives team (even more) extra incentive to get there
*IF* this it Hyde news the timeline does matchup with what he said in a recent BN article (https://buffalonews.com/sports/ryan-ohalloran-could-bills-safety-micah-hyde-return-in-postseason-after-neck-surgery/article_0be8e698-85ef-11ed-8586-0fb296488d85.html)
This article was posted exactly two weeks ago.
My guess would be that he gets off of IR this week and then would play in the divisional round. Again, *IF*

Agreed I think it’s about Hyde practicingLines up with Hyde’s comments about hoping to get good news in the next few days.
Literally two weeks ago to the day a BN article had quotes from Hyde saying something along the lines of "We will see what they say in two weeks"

We focus on Hill and Waddle, but Mostert ran all over our defense last time we met.
That guy is a load - DL is going to need to wear their big boy pants.
Less worried about our offense. As long as we keep the balance we have running Motor and Cook, Allen will hit some deep ones.
Mostert does have a broken hand so its not confirmed he will be playing.

I hear you. Gabe and McKenzie certainly have disappointed this year. However, is Sunday the time to do something different like that? Seems pretty risky to me.
Davis will be out there and needs to be, but I wouldnt mind limiting snaps for McK and having Brown-Beasley more.

They may have to leave McK inactive and elevate Brown and Beasley. McK is caught inbetween. Not a true slot guy, not a burner, not big enough to block like Davis.

You gotta think if Tua was getting cleared this season they would’ve did it yesterday in a win or go home game 17.
Concussions arent something you can power through. A week makes a difference.

They really screwed up by not doing a coin flip for the Cinn-Buff result. That would have at least given the Bengals their chance at 1, the Ravens their chance at the North. We controlled our own destiny and now we rely on the Raiders. I would rather take my chance with a coin flip then depend on a Raiders win.
The game was mostly a pickem anyway (we were favored going into it, they were up 7-3 but we both moved the ball effectively on our possessions).

I don’t post much here but I read the board daily. I have a source who I am 100 percent confident would be in the know of Damar’s status and this is what I was provided this morning:
-He is off sedation and awake
-He is still using a ventilator to assist in his breathing
-his cognitive functions seem to be working and he was able to identify his parents and even write a word
-it’s still early in the process and more nuero testing needs to be done.
Overall this tracks with many of the updates from national media and like is said I wouldn’t post this if I wasn’t confident in the info and I almost didn’t but I know everyone here is looking for as much news as possible
FWIW I also have been told by a source who knows someone with the bills about the writing a word thing.

I'm not sure if Schefters tweet should be considered as any major good news. "Making progress" could mean a number of things, and without any specific news of how he is improving, I'd manage expectations for now. Noone knows.
I agree, we have zero idea of where along the progress bar he is right now. Truthfully nobody even knows for sure if he had commotio cordis. If it was CC, and they followed the procedure of reducing body temperature and ventilating for a period of time they *should have* started the body warming process and working him off of a vent yesterday. At that time is when you would learn whether he can breath on his own or not. The fact that we didnt hear anything besides (progress) yesterday worries me. But...
The caveat is that WE HAVE NO IDEA what is going on in the hospital and all of these little leaks are becoming unhelpful.

Coin toss. One W, one L, just as if the game was played. Players determine the outcome (One team flips, one calls it in the air), nothing standings-wise is altered and nobody needs to relive the trauma.
Yes, another on team coin flip! Its actually the fairest way.

Honestly I don't know how this Bills team moves on from what has happened. If Hamlin pulls through then it's going to take a lot for this team to get back in the right mind frame to be playing their best ball of the year. If the unthinkable happens then there is no way this team can finish their season. Absolutely tragic and sad what has happened.
It is brutal and will certainly impact their psyche. But also football is what they know and is often an outlet for them. In 2008 Washington lost Sean Taylor during the season and continued on.
Obvi every player must make the decision that works best for them and I wouldnt fault anyone that wants to take a break. But I also wouldnt be surprised if the team *wants* to play starting Sunday.

i dont think the game will be, or should be rescheduled.
i think the best options are:
1. Coin flip the result of the game, but dont count it as an official W-L for records purposes, just for playoff seeding. I believe the coin flip is already a last resort options in the event of 2 teams tying in every tiebreaker, so its not unprecedented2. 'No contest' the game and get rid of the bye for the 1 seed, and add an 8th team in the AFC playoffs. definitely limits the advantages between the 1-3 seeds. i think only downside to that is if bengals dont beat ravens next week then they may lose the division which would admittedly be a bit unfair
The more I discuss this the more I am on team coin flip.

FWIW Erik Turner did a bunch of run stuff from the Bears game
Yea Cover1 always does a lot of breakdowns. But I posted YPP because its a little easier to digest. Just 6 tweets with quick breakdowns. Cover 1 stuff is rgeat but a lot more in depth.

Nice, but was Allen the gift giver? Odd that that wasn't mentioned.
It says "From: McKenzie" on them

What gives any reason to expect that? Has it happened before? Just because they have a big matchup next week doesn’t mean they want to play down to the Bears level. Now that weather is potentially going to test what running game we have because passing down the field is challenging. Josh will find a way.
I remember a time long long ago. We were 3-1, just coming off an emotional road win against a good conference rival. We had the lowly Steelers coming to town starting a rookie QB for his first NFL start. The next week we had a marquee matchup against the KC Chiefs on the road, in a battle that could decide the one-seed for the playoffs. Classic chance to overlook the Steelers. The result:
38-3 drubbing where Allen threw for 350 yards in the first half and was out for most of the 4th quarter.
