yea higgins was in uniform for practice I think i read yesterday. He is going through the concussion protocol like dawkins. Both will probably be limited all week and then play on sunday. Hendrickson seemingly is out for sure. I think I saw he needs a hernia surgery and is trying to hold off if the bengals can win the division.

they have been ruled out already?

The Division race is over. No use in stressing over it. New England has it wrapped up. They are all setup, barring major injuries to be the 1 seed and get essentially two weeks off to get ready for the divisional round. Will be interesting if they do get the 1 seed and KC sneaks in as the 7 and wins their wild card game.

IMO the Pats won the division last night. They are essentially going to have two weeks to get ready for their divisional game as I think denver and the colts lose at least once more and I am not sure the pats lose anymore than one game. in one offseason Mike Vrabel swooped in and accomplished what Buffalo has been trying to for almost a decade. They are going to end up with the MVP and the 1 seed. If they win the super bowl I may stop watching the nfl altogether. Buffalo can ruin all of it with a win over them in foxboro in the playoffs. Going to be hard to do with this lousy defense.

I feel like we should be rooting for miami to keep winning. I want them to have a shot when they roll into new england. At that point whoever loses is good for us.

Yes but the Bengals have the parts on offense to score quick and stay balanced. Buffalo seems compromised in the passing game and having to come back versus a team like this is going to be hard. Even with a two score lead the bengals will not change their style of play. The Bills will have to alter what they want to do if they get down two scores. there is a difference. Hopefully palmer and kincaid play.

Those numbers literally mean nothing now that there offense is whole. I know that the response to that is those guys don't play defense well there offense can be the best defense. If they get the ball first and score then get one stop and score again. The Bills will be chasing the game all day and the bengals will have a huge advantage. They looked good versus baltimore and probably would have beat new england if chase or burrow played. Simply put the bills can not rush the passer with any consistency and nobody can cover the group of pass catchers they have. This will be the week where the bills want the ball first to go down and score and hope they can set the pace of the game and not end up chasing it.

the great brandi carlile.

Only time I noticed his number on the field was on that last drive when they emptied the bench. There was never really a reason to go dime today so I imagine his play numbers are going to be low.

alec anderson said the steelers are known for the iron curtain in the post game. geez.

Good. I hope he knees Ossai and Hendrickson directly in the nuts next week too.

they just did it against Carolina a few weeks ago. Its an identical game.

i hope they split with jax and houston and lose the other games. we need all these afc teams to Lose.

they didn't ask josh what caused this but he said heyward is a great player and it fired him up, meaning himself.

Hats off to the defense today, players and staff. There were limited challenges in the passing game but they had to play the run and be physical or it would not have been a game and they did it. That was the name of the game today. you have to understand the game your in and they did today. I wish they would have run the ball this much last week. this is the third best defensive game of the year. They were dominant against the jets with the pathetic qb they have and then dominant against carolina. Going to be the completely opposite game next week.
