I think this is something that is severely underestimated. That is a tough stretch, and please believe they are going to be feeling it after halftime, if not all game...the scheduling Gods have been unkind to the Black and Gold, however I have zero ounce of sympathy for them. We had to deal with Tennessee and their frivolous-ity. I couldn't agree more with Chandler, this game doesn't strike one bit of fear in me. Even if they hadn't had the scheduling inconveniences I still picked us to win this game....fellas this team is rounding into form AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME...the time when the true contenders begin to flex their muscles, and impose their will on whoever lines up across from them, as you all saw Monday night...Allen and crew looked like they were playing on All-Madden mode and the 49ers looked like they were on novice. They KNEW what we were going to come out doing, yet they could do nothing. The vaunted, physical defense looked completely overmatched from our first offensive possession. This is a beautiful thing we're witnessing, and the crazy thing is, in my opinion, our best football is ahead of us... Josh and Co come out picking up where they left off Monday night.....Pittsburgh hangs around until halftime, but in the second half, fatigue finally gets the best of them and they're helpless as we pound the rock, control the clock, and send them back to the Steel City licking their wounds and staring at a 2 game losing streak. Buffalo 27, Pitt 16

Imagine if we had Smoke out there....my goodness

Have faith my friend 🙂 The Bills turn the tables today, and put the history of Monday Night flops behind them. We're healthier than we've been in a long time, we know what's at stake, and our defense is FINALLY rounding into its true(er) form. AJ Klein, who weeks ago looked like an absolute swing and miss by McBeane, has been our most valuable defensive player the past 3 weeks. The only injury that is really irritating to me is John Brown. We are a completely different offense with him in there. His speed neutralizes defenses, period. It prevents them from doubling Stefon, frees up Beasley to roam freely in the slot, and prevent the safetys from cheating up since they have to respect the deep ball. But other than that, we are damn close to 100%....and no way they show up tonight unprepared. 49ers may be getting healthy, but it doesn't matter. This is about us tonight.... Buffalo rolls.....38 - 17

Looks like the ankle is okay!!

I want to be excited right now, but I just feel kind of deflated...I pray Josh's ankle is alright...dude is a warrior, and seeing the injury in slow motion, then seeing him down on the field for a few moments really took the wind out of my sails.... Hope he's okay. 🙁

Simply maahvelous darling, simply maahvelous...I don't mind dating myself here, but this photo was on my bedroom wall, my senior year of high school....👍👍 WONDERFUL!!!! LOVE IT!!

Positives to take away from this injury report: only one player from the secondary on the list, and hopefully "illness" for Norman is something that won't keep him from being available Sunday. Negative: Six of the nine players on the list are starters, and three of them are our top 3 DE's. Wait, sorry bout that, Murphy is better than Epenesa. I REALLY, REALLY hope Brown will be 100% and ready to go Sunday. We're a completely different offense with him in there, and I don't know if it's a Brown thing, or if it just comes with the territory, but ALL of his injuries are the variety that directly affect both his top end speed AND his quickness, making him virtually ineffective.... As for Knox, well, they say if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, so..

When I think of Bills Eagles games, the only memorable one that comes to mind for me is the game, back in 1990 to be exact, when we had the Eagles backed up to their own 1 yard line, Bruce was about to sack Cunningham, but he ducked under him, got away, threw a 50 yard prayer up to Barnett, who caught it, the DB mis-played the ball and fell down, and Barnett ran the rest of the way in for the TD. We still won the game, but it was a pretty damn impressive play.

Never??? Heck I've been a Bills fan since the 80s and I can't remember a season when we had this many non-traditional/primetime games....and you know what? I'm lovin every minute of it. I hate to be a negative nancy on this one but I gotta say it...it figures we would get this kind of exposure during a year which: 1)we're JUST as entertaining offensively as we've ever been aside from 90-92, 2)we are a legitimate playoff team capable of making a deep playoff run, 3)we're probably going to win the division for the first time in 25 years, and...4)we're for all intents and purposes going to host a playoff game. All of this during a year we won't have any fans in the stands....☹☹☹😡 Sorry, just had to vent for a sec...but anyway, I'm loving it anyway....especially being that we don't get many Bills games down here in New Orleans...

Agree 100%. Concussion history or not, the bottom line is Mitch Morse is by far our best option at center. I know Feliciano filled in admirably, and even Boettger as well at times, but to me its a no-brainer. You put your best 5 guys out there, and I MUCH prefer Mongo at G, where he can get nasty, and do what he does best, and that's road grade m****f***s out the way and clear big ol paths for Motor Moss and Josh (ooh that's catchy) to run through. By God how many games have we had our original starting 5 (Dawkins, Ford, Morse, Feliciano and Williams) out there to start a game? Once, twice? Coming down the home stretch we absolutely need continuity on our line as the run game is going to become more and more necessary for us to win these ball games....I say if McDermott really sits Morse, it's due to his health above all other things...JMHO.

Just reading this, I had to stop for a second, smile, and think... How much have we improved offensively, and how far have we come that we need to get our quarterback to check down MORE?? I'm lovin it 🙂

@#$%& EXACTLY. I'm STILL sitting in front of the TV, haven't been able to move since yesterday afternoon. That timeout is still sticking in my craw(I don't even know what that means but it sounds appropriate). As soon as McDermott took it i was like WTF?? It's not the worst loss in the world, it was to an NFC team, in their house, and not just any NFC team, the Cardinals are a solid football team. For all intents and purposes, we should've won the game. They lucked up on a fluke 1 in a million prayer. But I'm still scratching my head over that timeout. Post of the day IMO, and it's only 7:15am. Very, very well said sir. 👍👍

VERY good point dammit I was saying that on that pass in the 4th that got broken up...he really didn't try to fight for that ball at all, but I'm willing to give him the standard rookie benefit of the doubt. He can improve on that, no, he HAS to improve on that...he's too big a receiver to be playing passive. He'll come around....

This is a completely different offense when John Brown isn't out there. Hopefully he'll be healed up and ready to go after the bye. Also, as much as I love Josh slinging it the way he is, we've GOT to get some consistency in our run game. We have the horses and the line to do it, we just haven't really chosen to run the ball...

Exactly.

This. Abso-freakin-lutely. I was scratching my head on that TO

Let's hope this pisses them off something fierce, and they come out against the Chargers on fire. I have a feeling we'll see a motivated, hungry team. Crappy way to lose a game, not the end of the world though, at least it was to an NFC team.

Allen and Diggs that was a beautiful TD throw and catch, but Cole Beasley still deserves my game ball...we're not even in that position to score if it weren't for those HUGE catches made by Beasley on those last drives!!

Diggs lulled Peterson straight to sleep with an absolutely PERFECT route!!!

Freakin SMOOTH AS SILK ROUTE BY DIGGS!!!!

Freakin Cole Beasley is pure CLUTCH with the game on the line. I dont care what happens at the end of this game, he deserves two game balls...dude is playing out of his gourd.

#17 Shine Time....let's go Buffalo...we got this.

Guys I'm following on espn gamecast, what happened with Bojo with a 12 YARD PUNT?? Was it partially blocked or something?

Okay, now we need a long, clock-chewing drive here, give the D a little time to get some wind...

Way to stand him up Klein!!!
