Life of the party, aren't you?

Now NFL.com reporting. Defensive line are going to have a ball.

PFT just reported Mankins out. Link in OP.

Thigpen.

Uh oh, Brady.

Fretting over replacement refs?

Per PFT Patriots add an OL to roster.

Gronk was so successful last year, I don't think the Pats will be able to resist sending him out to catch passes. Hopefully the pass rush will quickly make them change their minds.

Two years ago the Bills didn't have Dareus. Now we have two very imposing tackles on the DL lining up next to each other. This, I think will be bigger than the off season signings of Mario and Anderson.

Leodis?

Putting all of the injury stuff aside....The Patsies are the ones struggling to win games and now they have to come into our house. The Bills after the week 1 loss did something different. They stopped over thinking the game and just started playing strait up physical football. That isn't going to change this weekend. They know they can beat the Patriots by simply playing hard. The Bills know they are better in the trenches and they will play to their strengths.....just beat the man in front of you. It's fun talking about injuries and all but you guys who don't put much stock in the injury report are right. I really liked the Kyle Williams' interview. He is not concerned with injuries whatsoever. His only concern is playing hard and being a better team. That same sentiment is echoed by the rest of the team by watching their play and listening to them talk. This team is going after the division title the old fashioned way....by strait up beating their opponent. Mixing in a little talk about injuries just adds a little more excitement, and provides something else to talk about besides another Fitz controversy.

Wow.......nag, nag nag.

muchs? It's all right. I got the drift.

Not trying to start a controversy. I just think that there is more to the injury report than what we have seen historically. These guys are banged up and for once, they are hurting as much or more than the Bills are this time around.

LOL....you sound bitter.

Read the bottom of the OP to get latest updates with links.

Mankins hip, Gronk hip, Vollmer back, Hernandez still out with ankle injury. That's a lot of OL problems.

The Bills defense is not going to be playing a misdirection game. They have the horses to run over that Pats OL. All they have to do is run them. They will simply force the Pats OL to try and stop them.....something they will struggle with IMO.

I want Mankins and Gronk to both play and still beat them. Edelman out though can be a problem for them. Welker will then be seeing double coverage. Gronk will have to stay on the line to protect Brady. They are pretty thin all ready, and if even one of them is not 100% Brady could be in for a rude awakening. The Browns were supposed have one of the best OLs in the league and our defense still sacked Weeden a lot and got 2 interceptions. This offensive line of the Pats will be in trouble. JMO. The Pats are always going to be a threat with Brady steering the offense, but he's only one guy. He needs people around him and that is not looking too good for him. I expect the Bills defense to be a real problem.......Bills were on fire against the Chiefs at home and will be pumped for this one too. Listening to Kyle Williams, he is not taking anything away from the Pats. He says that they are the top dog in the division until someone knocks them out. He is not looking for injury weaknesses, but simply beating them strait up. That attitude is what will turn the tables. The Pats are in trouble.

So you don't think Mankins not practicing all week is a fake......I don't. And the video of Gronk hobbling off the field.....that wasn't faked. Then there is Edelman who is listed as out now, also not fake. The Pats are as banged up as the Bills, maybe even more.

I posted a link of a video showing a big hit on Gronk in last weeks game in the original post. He limped off the field afterwards. Probably still bothering him.

I fully expect the Bills to win this one. Pats are coming to our house. Our defensive line is disruptive while their offensive line is very weak. Our offense is keeping pace with the best in the league in scoring and their defense can't stop anyone. This is far and away a gimme for the Patsies.

Read this. Apparently a hip injury.

Haha. It would really be funny if Fred and CJ come out and play like they are perfectly healthy. Talk about a hat trick!! Well.......I can dream can't I?

Gronk now listed on injury report.
