"Few weeks", we play them in 5.   Could have Jimmy G. back by then.

 

Kittle is the far bigger loss for them IMO.  He's their #1 receiver and it isn't close.  80 YPG and half of them YAC.  Catches almost everything thrown in his general vicinity and you better lay the lumber if you want to bring him down.

Later updates show both will not play for 6-8 weeks

Oh just fricken great. Another hollow game.

We can't stop the run. They have a great ground game. They don't need Kittle or Garoppolo.

 

The front 7 will need their best game of the year for us to have a chance. Just my opinion.

I forgot he's not a phenomenal run blocker. Kittle does more than catch passes

[GunnerBill]

San Fran's injuries have been absolutely brutal. This is the second time out for both of these guys (though not sure Jimmy G was ever healthy). If that game is a win for the Bills it definitely gives a bit of breathing room.

WTF, man, what are you looking for, Scoring the Football Olympics? 

"And the technical panel gave the bills 74.5 points for the degree of difficulty of this program, but the artistic merit scores were poor leading to an overall grade of 102.7"

 

It's a game, Man.  It's football.  You Win, Lose, or Tie.  You don't get extra credit for the health or debility of your opponent.  The Titans don't lose either points or passing yards because we were playing without starting CB Tre' White and Levi Wallace.

Isn’t this Seattle week?

I am not sure it matters much.   The Bills always had the superior quarterback in this situation, what they dont have is the superior coach.   With SF being at home, and the disparity between the coaching staffs, I think this one is still a loss.

[billsfan89]

Moving that game from a tossup to a favorable game. If the Bills can split the next two games and beat the Chargers they will be sitting at 8-3 with only one game the team will likely be not favored in (Steelers) and 4 games where this team can be favored in. 

 

One week at a time. Let's take a new temperature check against Seattle.

Sorry I haven't read through this thread totally, but is there anyone else besides me making the call that Jimmy G, after missing three games, will  make a miraculously come back and be ready to play the Bills on Monday night?

 

Because...you know...Billsy luck.

I will take it however we can get it. Thing is the strength is the run game... 

Hell, we could have a half dozen starters out by then as well... relax whiners, one week at a time

[Penfield45]

Kittle is a loss but their backup QB is nearly as good as Jimmy G. 
 

They have a hard hitting defense and power running game. Basically same situation as the titans game

You know I was being sarcastic right?  I couldn't care less if we win every game by 1 points.  Just win baby.

[QCity]

49ers are the most physical team in the league, it's just not a good matchup for us even without their QB.

[billsbackto81]

No Kwon Alexander either.

Another one gets away from Beane's grasp.

Can't believe so many here are sweating a team the Dolphins smoked.

[RichRiderBills]

That Kwon Alexander contract was bad for the NFL in so many ways...then they trade him. 

[HomeTeam]

Could the 49ers be intentional pulling the plug on the season in coup for a higher draft pick?  I believe they want to move on from garoppolo while their window is open. 

 

My tin foil hat is tingling. 

[DuckyBoys]

man have they had the super bowl hangover jinx

[buffaloboyinATL]

They will have Raheem Mostert and Deebo Samuel back by then, who are big threats, but  all I care about is Kittle. If he is out, I will breathe easier.

    Maybe A little off subject, but this is a perfect example of not counting your losses until they hatch.
    Who knows who is healthy and who isn’t until the injury happens. IF, we can start getting ahead of the injury curve ( which I would argue we haven’t been) and some of the tougher matchup teams get a couple a pathway deeper into the playoffs can happen. 
     You play the team in front of you and you only count Ws and Ls...... no points for style regardless what some on here would have you believe.
