#! seed is going to be major this season. I really don't see a "weak link" in the current playoff standings like we had in the past few seasons. BALTIMORE is currently the 6 seed and Broncos are 7 seed. They are both good teams. As well as the Bills are playing, there will be no slam dunks in the playoffs this time around. Hopefully we meet KC again, but it's far from guaranteed. Heck, even they could have an early exit (especially if they fail to lock up the 1 seed).

hopkins had a pre-existing knee issue when chiefs traded for him too, and hes still playing through it, where Cooper was fully healthy when he joined the Bills. That Hopkins is still going while Cooper suddenly has a wrist injury is just typical Bills vs Chiefs luck lol

If the Bills are being more cautious with injuries this season because we are in a less desperate situation than seasons past (around this time of the season) then I am all for it. If we are relatively healthier than we have been all year once the playoffs start, we should all be thankful that some of our guys didn’t play on injuries that they were technically “cleared” to play with. that’s the difference between being 8-2 and being Tyreek Hill playing for a team that is on thin ice.

Exactly. We will most likely be healthier as well. And if we are smart we can concentrate on getting bringing guys back at the right time along with saving our best for the playoffs considering we already have the division practically locked up, and with any luck, the chiefs will have some injuries along the way as they try to secure the #1 seed. but again, this is all IF we lose. Makes things really interesting because at the same time I’d like for the bills to end KC’s undefeated season, but at the end of the day, who cares? Only the playoffs matter. Think we have all learned that by now. And we will probably be the first team in the AFC to punch our ticket…

Wish the bye was 1 week sooner.

funny thing is I was at a bills backers bar and I stepped out to get some air twice during the game. This is when both ints were thrown. So I can’t help you and it was also probably my fault.

KJ HAMLER!!! LETS GO!!!! I have been waiting all season for Hamler to get a shot on game day and I hope we find a way to utilize his game breaking speed at some point during the game. I know it was only pre-season, but the instant acceleration to top speed that I saw from KJ on that near TD run was not unlike what we saw from Xavier Worthy in week 1, and frankly, he's about as fast as worthy too.

I hate them both as well, but this year, I find myself rooting for the Bengals. But that's only because I want Allen to have a shot at MVP...

Oh joy... Now Lamar gets to have a 4th TD on his stat line... lol

I don't think I've ever seen Allen get as much time in the pocket as Lamar has been getting every time I've tuned into this game. It's ridiculous. Anyone can look like MVP with this completely non-existent pass rush.

most of the players that we are down are expected to be back by playoffs, I believe. That’s the difference between this year and some other seasons in which we had injury issues and were not getting those players back (so far, at least). If guys like Milano, Smoot, Keon(?) are back towards the end of the season or when the playoffs begin, I think you have to go all-in, because depending on how the rest of the season goes with injuries, we could potentially be healthier than we have ever been once the games matter the most….

It's funny. There's the camp that thinks the wait implies X-Rays were likely negative (including Banged up Bills) which renders a more "positive" sign, while others seem to think the delay and need for additional testing does not bode well for Coleman. I don't know where I'm at, but I sure hope it's the former.

Sucks about Smoot, but Coleman is the one I have been holding my breath on since the game winning FG. This update can't come soon enough.

What I like about Elam is he has a knack for taking the ball away. In limited appearances he has had a relatively high # of takeaways (including playoffs). Just yesterday he had the fumble recovery and nearly had a HUGE forced fumble that would have changed the narrative on Elam today if it had counted.

If bass missed I think we should have been equally critical of the play calls leading up to that kick. The fact it was 4th and 10 was mildly embarrassing.
