This has likely been mentioned and discussed but the Bears D line has 8.5 sacks total this year. Yes, 8.5 sacks for everyone on the D line. That must be some kind of record this far into a season. Good week for Morse to be recovering (if he comes back at all). Josh should still have a lot of time in the pocket.

So we have a video of Sal asking Diggs what he means by that — and of Diggs saying, "when did I say that?" But no video of Diggs answering why he made the alleged remark. That to me suggests there is no answer. As in he dismissed the question. If that's the case, and unless there's an actual recording of him saying that, it's all hearsay.

It's gonna happen. His workload is increasing and the playbook will open up over time. Catching the ball was his forte in college and they didn't draft him for fourth-and-inches.

Good dude and fun to listen to. That catch he made at midfield and with all that YAC, I'd love for him to have one or two of those every game. We see Kelce do it; Knox can too. Just be consistent.

So Big Willie lost his pants and job on camera and the victim — ambushed by 6 men — stands up and is ok at the end. There's one winner to this. F*** Willie and f*** the Patriots. I hope the ambushed guy sues that pants off of Willie. Wait...

The big difference what's at stake — Cam's idiocy (twice) may have cost us a first-round bye on 4th and 18 and almost lost us a crucial game against Miami. The Pats have no such aspirations. Cost us a football game once, shame on you; do it twice... I know depth is important at the very least bench this guy the next game to send a message that you have to play smart and put the team first.

"Center Mitch Morse left the 32-29 win in the third quarter for evaluation of a head injury. It was announced a short time later Morse would not return to the game because of a concussion. That’s obviously a concern when it happens to any player, but that is especially true when it comes to Morse, who has a troubling history of head injuries. He has now suffered the sixth documented concussion of his NFL career and third since coming to the Bills in 2019." https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/upon-further-review-mitch-morses-sixth-documented-concussion-is-a-major-cause-for-concern/article_2408be34-7eff-11ed-8cde-4f4d4672df92.html Six (documented) concussions seems like a very high number and I'm greatly concerned. First, for his health and well being but second, the O-line is already problematic and without Mitch there for a playoff run, it may be an outright liability. I hope I'm wrong but I suspect there's a good chance he doesn't come back — this year or ever. Or (and this is just a wild guess) he comes back for the playoffs to try and get a ring but then hangs it up in the offseason. This is very, very concerning and I agree with earlier posters who want to bring in a vet ASAP — I just don't know if there's anyone out there who's going to help. What a year for injuries.

Exhibit A: Chiefs vs. Texans, Sunday, Dec. 18, 2022

Well, that's assuming that the Bengals win out — they have the Bucs today and the Ravens to end the regular season (and assuming we take care of business with the Pats and the Bears). I'm just thinking us vs the Chiefs.

If the Chiefs lose this and we lose to the Bengals, we'd have the same record and have the tie-breaker for head-to-head.

Oh my... Not expecting the Texans to hold on for the full 60 minutes but this is very interesting. This would be an early Xmas present.

That single play could have cost us the number seed — not saying we have that wrapped up but it's possible — and that single play could have lost us the game last night. He makes McKenzie look like Stephen Hawking.

When I saw it, I thought it was a very smart and selfless play. A lot can happen with 34 seconds left and one timeout for the Phis and Hill and Waddle on the field. A big pass and a PI call can even up the game. If only Cam Lewis had Singletary's smarts.

Has McDermott commented yet on Lewis? If he's willing to make a running back ride the bench for an extended period for a fumble what is the proper reaction for this bonehead other that being cut?

McDaniel is a math tutor not an English tutor.

I can honestly see a repeat of last week's score: 20 – 12 Bills.

On D, I think Tre will finally make a splash play and be a defining factor limiting Hill or Waddle. Barring that, Poyer will be the big guy on D. On O, while it's reasonable to think a running back will be the main guy (big run or runs from Cook?) I think the savvy receivers — Diggs and hopefully Beasley — will take advantage of an inexperienced safety duo.

Ok, I grew up playing and watching hockey (just play and watch football now) but I have to admit, I like how hockey has a means for dealing with a*****e players. I wish someone in football had the opportunity to go one on one with a cheap-shot artist. I get why it doesn't happen, but in cases like this, it would be good. And — not that there's anything wrong with that — but Wilkins may be expressing some suppressed desires. There are many ways to get under an opponents skin; grabbing his package is a very interesting choice.

But he's not cleared to play. He says he feels good and wants to play but the doctor(s) have to protect him from himself. It makes me wonder IF we made it to the conference final in late January, would an extra six weeks allow him to be cleared? I think he's not talking about it because a) there could be not set timeline, just a wait-and-see thing or b) there is a timeline but he doesn't want to talk about it in case the Bills don't get there. It's a nice dream to hold onto. Let's see where the team and Micah are in several weeks...

I'd like to see us draft a really fast WR with proven hands to stretch the field. He can be taller and win the jump balls or just be fast and tough like DeSean Jackson but he has to have a proven history of catching. Much like the "you can't teach accuracy" argument (which is not 100% true but more often than not it does apply), it seems like many receivers still have drop issues many years into the pros (Knox, Davis, McKenzie)... And invest a top pick on this. Then O-line.

Farthest I've travelled to watch the Bills? To the very depths of hopelessness and despair during many of the drought years.

Ok, tons of data and perhaps a McKenzie fan can find some to prove he's a good receiver, but in the fourth quarter... Beasley is 13/14 McKenzie is 6/11. So when it's crunch time I'm pretty sure I know who I — and Josh — prefer catching the ball. The fact that they brought a cut player out of retirement speaks volumes, perhaps more about their current slot options than about Beasley.

I like it. Kinda like High Plains Drifter...

But, and I'm just going on booze memory here, aren't the vast majority of McKenzie's catches much shorter than Davis'? I'd like to compare this to Beasley's numbers in the slot. I'm not sure a slot receiver dropping more than 3 out of every 10 short passes is good. I could be wrong...

So it I'm reading this properly: McKenzie does not take personal accountability for his drops and wants more targets. That's gotta be the chocolate and peanut butter of attitude that McDermott wants from this receivers. Thanks to all who gave a synopsis.
