Plays are there. Playaction has been working so far. Need better run game results though, other than that awesome Cook run, getting shut down.

Need points on offense now. Start to bury them.

Better than the fumble recovery....yeah Johnson boys!!!

Well it worked, bc our look confused Flacco.

Agree completely. If I had to bet, Cooper comes back after bye week and 50/50 on Keon. Good thing on offense is we built our identity on the run game/short area passing attack. Brady has plenty of options to generate a productive offense still. This is the exact mold McD always talks about, complimentary football. Need the defense to generate a couple turnovers and solid S/T play.

Shakir and Kincaid are our 2 most important weapons to have on the field, so it's not all doom and gloom. Guessing it will be Virgil (his last callup before he'd have to be promoted to 53), and Shavers getting called up this week. Going to need our backs to get even more involved in passing game/YAC. And would be nice to see some more misdirection, be it jet sweeps, various screens/etc. Brady might need to manufacture some yards against a fast/aggressive Colts D. Along with Josh running.

Amari is probably a long shot this week still, just my thoughts based on his recent comments about catching (gripping seemed fine). Not confident he's ready until after the bye week. Likely same with Keon, possibly longer.

Coleman out this week. Sean clarified he is "week to week" , "possibly beyond that"

I'm rooting for Cincy. Rather see the Steelers win that division and Bmore be the 5 seed. Cincy has had our number recently, but I'm not scared of any team if we enter the playoffs mostly healthy/without any critical injuries.

We need to get thru 1 month without Carter. Then another without Smoot. Need bodies, Phillips if healthy can bring a little juice to pass rush. Something Ankou, Logue aren't gonna do much of. Just means we might be playing with less "light" boxes. With Taron back, I'm more comfortable going single high a bit more often.

Preston Smith wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire, he's a backup through and through IMO. Better fit in a 3-4 too. Id rather give more snaps to Solomon, and Von was having a good start prior to the suspension. Interior DL is more of a need, potentially WR as well

It was always going to be Hamlin, Edwards or Bishop as a weekly inactive. Cam is a valuable piece that can be our 4th on gameday. Edwards was brought in to compete, but Hamlin was much more consistent at camp and Bishop is already a better player than Edwards. I also think McD is always going to put more stock in players who play his system/disciplined with their responsibilities over pure talent.

If TB won the toss, I'd assume they were taking the ball. Both teams drove for TDs in recent drives. Need a stop somehow.

Not the easiest conditions to kick in. TB better not let them cross their own 40

Run up the middle. If stopped it runs clock

panic timeout. Likely a mistake

Yup, TB had a few chances to get off the field. Lots of time for Baker to answer

TB defense has been causing some issues. FG stop is good enough rn

In all aspects, this would be a BIG pickup

Ed's been a mystery. Not sure if he's battling thru something else injury wise. But it would be a huge pickup to get a monster 1 tech. DQ is a high-end backup, low end starter with a beast beside him. I just don't know if anyone is out there on the cheap (trade wise), that upgrades over DQ

100% agree. Our biggest need is still DT, which is frustrating. Fortunately Carter looks serviceable. But these injuries up front are getting brutal

Agree, McD/Babich did enough to hold them to 10 in 1st half. 2nd half was major chunk plays. I guess they tried to see if McDaniel would stay committed to the run. Credit Miami for sticking to it. McDaniel usually panics when trailing. Also think their OL got away with a handful of holding calls but will take the W.

Haha, I mean you asked. What response were you looking for, Mickey Mouse

Look 1 post above yours and you'll see a Bills reporter allude to it

Same guy who reported we were taking Keon on night 1, then same on day 2. Again, not my fault if people don't pay attention when I post. Should I include a job resume and bio, lol
