yabuddy Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Manning was 21-26 for 242 and 3 TDs, 0 INTs. He didn't throw for 300 because they were able to run the ball and he only needed to throw 26 times to win the game. OTOH Manning threw for 400+ against NE because they were behind the whole game and he had to throw like 50 times. I don't put much stock on whether a QB throws for 300 and that determining whether their D is on lockdown. I'm not discounting their pass D because I think it is good, but just don't feel that stat of not allowing 300 passing yds means they can't be beaten. I just think it is a pretty decent statistic when they have played Tom Brady, Phyllis Rivers, and Peyton Manning. Either way you look at it, they played 3 of the top 10 passing offenses in the league and still have the #1 passing defense when it comes to yards. Brady was playing behind the whole game on Monday Night Football and I don't believe he even had 200 yards passing.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Has anyone reported that he is out? I still feel pretty confident that he will be playing Sunday until I hear otherwise.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Has anyone reported that he is out? I still feel pretty confident that he will be playing Sunday until I hear otherwise. The Injury report comes out today after practice. I'm guessing they list him as questionable.

They didn't shut Manning or Rivers down. Rivers had a normal Rivers game - he has only thrown for over 300 twice this year as it is, against crap Raiders and Jax. KC won on a last second FG. I think they have a really good D though. Edited November 7, 2014 by YoloinOhio

Besides his first game against the Cardinals Rivers had five straight 120+ QB rating heading into the Chiefs game. He ended up with an 83 against the Chiefs. There is no denying they have a damn good pass defense this year. Adding Eric Berry is only a plus for them who is an All-Pro. I just think they have faced better receivers so in order for this game to be won the Bills have to run the ball effectively and often.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 @buffalobills #Bills RB Fred Jackson and WR Sammy Watkins are officially listed as Questionable for Sunday's game. #KCvsBUF
26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Watkins comparing notes with Jackson ][/b]Bills WR Sammy Watkins is in uncharted territory. Having never had a muscular injury of any significance in his career he’s not sure how to work his way through his current groin ailment. That’s why he’s been seeking counsel from Fred Jackson, who also has a groin injury. “Never dealt with a serious injury so I really don’t know how to treat a groin,” said Watkins. “I’ve never been through one so I don’t know how to feel right now.”
26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) @JoeBuscaglia Marrone on if plan is for Watkins to practice Sat: No, I don't think it is until the trainers tell me that he can go. The guy can't practice #Bills Watkins on if he'll play Sunday: "I don't know. That's the coach's decision whether I should play. It's a long season." Watkins: It's a groin. With those you've got to be careful. You've got to be smart and you really don't know whether you're right or not. Edited November 7, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I hope this is the best smoke screen ever..... CBF
dascottbills28 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Watkins is not going to play and probably wont play the Miami game either. I think Fred will play but only in a limited capacity. Tis the Life of a Bills fan...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 @JoeBuscaglia Pessimism abound regarding status of Bills' Watkins, Jackson http://bit.ly/1uHxZyG Watkins is not going to play and probably wont play the Miami game either. I think Fred will play but only in a limited capacity. Tis the Life of a Bills fan... Have you been diagnosed?

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 God I hope so. When we throw to him we win games. Simple as that CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 I have a feeling Sammy plays. So do I. They are smart to be overly cautious with upcoming games on Sunday and Thursday.
thebandit27 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 God I hope so. When we throw to him we win games. Simple as that CBF Indeed. I'm clinging to hope and a feeling as well. So do I. They are smart to be overly cautious with upcoming games on Sunday and Thursday. Especially with Sammy. He's going to be so good for so long; better to be cautious if you must.
eball Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 After watching Sammy walk off the field against the Jets two weeks ago I became convinced he suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and will likely have a very short career. I mean, it's obvious.
Heitz Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Have you been diagnosed? Event if he hasn't, we should preemptively call the:
CodeMonkey Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) “I don't know. That's the coach's decision whether I should play. It's a long season,” Watkins started. With that "long season" comment it sounds to me like he is mentally preparing himself for when/if he won't be able to go. I guess we will know Sunday. But even if he can go, it does not sound like he will be anything close to 100%. I hope if he is marginal, Marrone and the Bills error on the side of caution. Edited November 7, 2014 by CodeMonkey
