It was a solid drive, but it could have finished much differently. Cooper made a fantastic catch on 3rd and long (an absolute dime from Allen, though) and Samuel made his first real impact play of the season on another 3rd and long. Gotta try to stay out of those long distance situations. But we made the plays when needed. Bass has to make that kick, though.

Ugh.....saw that miss coming from a mile away. Snap came in slightly high and I just knew Bass wasn't going to be able to make up for it.

BOOM

Just placed my bet on the Chiefs to win! Doing my part to buy the Bills a win here today!

4 starters down if you count Milano. Frustrating, but I'd rather everyone sit out today and try to get healthy for the stretch run and the Playoffs. Going to be tough to get a win today, though, with the injuries we have. Cooper being up is good, but who knows how effective he will really be with the wrist. And not having Elam active is odd. Maybe they are expecting the Chiefs to run the ball a lot and they want an extra big man up today. Who knows.

They are saying he is going through a light warmup on the field with no cleats on. Eric Wood said that is not normal for him and that it looks to him that he won't be playing. Another starter out for us. But it's OK. Yes, this is an important game, but with the Bye coming up, I would rather not take any unnecessary risks and try to get these guys back to 100% after the break.

Been saying it most of the week. I am just finding it truly difficult to get into the hype of this game. I was hoping I would wake up and feel differently today, but I just don't. Win by 50 or lose by 50 today, it really isn't going to bump me either way. Of course I want to win, but like so many other members of Bills Mafia, the only game that matters between these 2 teams will happen in January if we happen to play them again. Today, we'll play them and hopefully we'll find a way to win. But let's be honest. Neither team is fielding their best rosters today. We have guys like Kincaid, Coleman, and Milano that are not suiting up. Also, even if Cooper does end up playing, we know he's far less than 100% with the cast. And they won't have Punkchecko or Brown out there either. These teams, God willing we finally get to play them at full health for a change in the Playoffs, will look different in a couple months for the rematch. And, as we all know, that is the only result that matters. So yeah.....this game is being hyped up big time, as many would expect, as it's the media's job. But I just can't fully buy in knowing what is potentially around the corner. That said, put a beat down on the Chiefs today and stay healthy! GO BILLS!

Wow. Didn't have that on my Bingo card today. Awesome. What's most surprising is the timing with the Bye week coming up. Seems like they could have waited a couple weeks to do it and open it afterwards. But, maybe he's a lot closer than we all think. Maybe they are thinking he's going to be ready to go coming right out of the Bye. That would be crazy, but it would be awesome. Luckily, Williams has been playing fairly well as he's filled in so maybe they can just ease Milano back in instead of just throwing him out there and hoping for the best. Get him some live reps each week slowly increasing those reps so he is ready for the Playoffs. Who knows. But they obviously feel very good about where he's at or this wouldn't be happening. Great news regardless!

This game is going to be pumped up all week. It's going to be made out to be the biggest game of the season by many. But you know what? I don't really care. Don't get me wrong. Of course I want to win. But I am done with barometer games against this team. The only game against this team that matters will be in January if it happens. That is the only result that counts at this point. Win this game Sunday by 50 or lose by 50, I'm not going to care either way because the only time beating this team matters anymore to me is in the postseason. I don't want to take away any excitement from anyone that is amped up about this game. Go nuts. I hope we win. But I'm definitely to the point that I am over the regular season games against this team. Seems like we beat them every time except when it really counts, so I am just not going to get into the hype this week. On top of that, I do not expect us to field our best team this week because of the injuries either. I would be shocked if Cooper or Coleman play in this game with the Bye right around the corner, so I am not sure how much we will be able to take away from this game regardless of the outcome. For me, it is about getting through the game healthy, going into the Bye week with a chance to heal up, and then come out and working towards playing our best football come January.

Nice finish boys. We didn't field our best team. We didn't play our best game. We found a way. Gotta get healthy in a hurry, though.

McDermott just cost us a walk in TD

Credit to Vandy there. Tough spot coming in for Brown and the next thing you knows he's running full out leading the way for Shakir.

We are literally the worse RB screen team of all time.

Allen was down for 2 seconds before that guy jumped on him. No call.

Hey look.....a first down run. Just what we've been hoping to see! Only this one comes with a penalty.

It's a good thing we are playing Flacco and a very average Colts team today. They are doing everything they can to help us and we aren't really doing anything on offense to help ourselves. We field this same team next week, it's going to be a very long game.

We just have no weapons that can get open immediately.

Come on Brady....change it up a bit. Throw on 1st down once in a while.

ugh

We definitely are not fielding a great team today. Definitely not one that is good enough to win a Super Bowl. But, we are playing an opponent that we should beat even with the guys we have out and not playing our best. They are trying to help us win, but we just haven't gone out and taken it yet. Here's another chance, but we need to change up the play calling a bit.

That works

Just picking our zone apart. Time to change it up a bit Bobby.

That was a mess of a drive, but they somehow found a way.

WOW....Allen again.....

The KC tackles do that every play and never get called for it. Whatever.
