Asbury Theological Seminary, in Wilmore, KY, about 16 miles SSW of Lexington.

There is one team in the NFL with a better record than Buffalo. There are two other teams with the same record as Buffalo. There are 6 teams with more first team pro bowlers than Buffalo. Such is the curse of a small market team.

Like most everyone else, I think Milano should have gotten a spot. First alternate is pretty good though. Also, like others, I'm surprised Roger Saffold got named as a third alternate.

Honestly, Josh Allen has been very happy with just about everything at OBL. Even if he did fancy playing under a dome, he probably would keep that preference very quiet, knowing it's not going to happen, and keeping quiet helps maintain good feelings all the way around.

Cooper Rush single handedly eliminated Dak from any future consideration as league MVP.

I'm not giving it too much weight. Diggs' career has taken off during his stay in Buffalo, and he's been ranked among the top receivers in the league. Right now, Diggs is ranked third in the league in both receptions and yardage, behind Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill. Given the likelihood of foul weather games over the last three weeks of the season, Diggs is probably not going to climb in the rankings anyway. Lastly, the Bills are on a five game winning streak. Diggs may have an occasional bout of passion, but if he thinks about it for about two seconds, he's got to realize that he has very little reason to complain.

40+ years ago, I drove through Cincinnati going to and from seminary.

Fields is not on the injury report for Tuesday. Forget any notion he's going to miss the game. II think Fields is still developing. In a couple years, it could be very scary to face him. I respect his skills now. The wind is going to make passing an adventure, assuming the game is played as scheduled. Fields is on a pace to have the most running yards in a single season by a QB, so Buffalo needs to respect that ability. The Bills demonstrated they have plenty of work to do in the way of run defense in the game against Miami.

Christian Wilkins: I prefer the front side myself.

After the Chicago game there was no talk at all about a Fields injury. To the contrary, Fields himself is talking about going for the single season record for running by a QB, currently held by Lamar Jackson. He needs to average 70 yards per game over their last three games to make it. Possessing a very solid running back in David Montgomery, Chicago is a dangerous team on offense, and Buffalo needs to crank up their discipline several notches on defense.

I assume that Monday becomes Chicago's day off rather than the usual Monday routine, which I believe consists of meetings and film work. They'll do practice on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday like Buffalo. Buffalo probably had meetings and film work today.

Agree. It's going to be another challenging weather day for the game. No precipitation that I've seen, but that wind is going to play havoc with deep passes. Staying warm and loose is going to be a huge challenge.

I'm very concerned about the Bills' inability to stop the run against certain opponents, and the utter ineffectiveness of the Bills' running offense through most of the game. I'm glad Singletary finally enjoyed some production in the 4th quarter, but when the run game is that bad, it puts a lot of pressure ono the passing offense.

I had not TV, so, I'm hesitant to say too much, but it sure sounded as if Lewis made a huge bonehead play. His positive contributions to the team are so negligible, I wouldn't think it would take too many boneheaded plays for him to find himself stocking groceries at Tops.

I understand the reasoning for Singletary deciding to go down. I don't agree with it. With snow and wind, even a short field goal attempt is not a sure thing. Going the other way, under the declining field and weather conditions, it was very unlikely for Tua and the Dolphins to be able to pull a Pat Mahomes type finish.

I know that is the downside. Maybe some non-contact drills, something with limited risk of injury-just enough to get a feel for coping with the slipperiness.

Here's a thought. Too late for the game tomorrow, but one of the biggest issues for the game may be footing with heavy snow falling during the game. I'm sure the equipment people for the team will look for the best footwear they can for slippery conditions, but there is only so much you can do. When the Bills know they are going to have slippery conditions for the game, perhaps part of the preparation for the game should include using footwear during practice that doesn't give them great footing. There's been no snow on the practice field, no way to duplicate the likely poor footing with actual snow and ice, but why not try and get close with their footwear? Wouldn't the receivers be better off if they have a feel for when they are likely to slide? If they have a feel for it, then they can better prepare for it. Likewise, players at just about any position would theoretically be better off if they had developed a feel through practice when they are likely to slide, and how to compensate for it. McDermott held the practice sessions outside this week. That's a lot more realistic than the Dolphins could achieve by cranking the AC up. Still, if McDermott had put his team in footwear that could slide some on the turf, they would have a far better feel for what they can do on the field Saturday evening.

I agree. I was seeing a lot more drops from Bills receivers than I was from Jets receivers.

He's a clear upgrade from Lotulelei. That's the important thing for me.

It's better that they practice outside all week than not, but the conditions during the week will be nothing like game conditions in terms of the precipitation and wind, which sound as if they could be blizzard like.

Wrong lake, Yolo, though Orchard Park is still going to get socked.

A little turnabout would be nice. I'm assuming the visitors' locker room in Miami had air conditioning, so it might not be totally fair to shut off the heat in the visitors' locker room in Orchard Park. Miami can certainly be responsible for providing their own sideline heaters.

The nice thing about Milano's multiple hits on White in the game is the likelihood that White is going to remember Milano in the future, if he happens to be on the field versus the Bills again. It's not a huge thing, but if it can cause him to hesitate and be looking to protect himself, even for an instant, it might be the difference between success and failure on some plays.

Father figure versus incompetent buffoon.

For me, I expect it will be John Murphy. Eric Woods is doing color with Murph still, isn't he, or is it Steve Tasker?
