Thank you and all who wished well (I'm not sure how to quote multiple posts). It seems like she is going to be OK.

Having a sick child is the worst feeling for a parent. Glad she is going to be ok. Hope the Bills blow them out so you don’t have any further stress today!

They just showed the stadium on ESPN - snow plows

this game is starting to scare me a bit,  hope the weather and home field offsets my worries about Atlanta trying to play spoiler and this atrocious ref crew.    big favorites against the Jags with this ref crew,  and we all know what happened.

Yeah, this feels like a good game to watch at the Gym.

Is our turf heated?

I’m thinking more on the couch

Bummed not going to the game.  Flu are something  (negative Covid test).

 

Game concerns me for sure based on our previous losses.  If we play as we did lat week, we will dice them up.  
 

Falcons defense not so good.  Not sure how they are 7-8.  They’ve scored what we’ve given up on D and given up what we’ve scored.  Bills PF 427 PA 264.  Falcons PF 278 PA 400.  
 

On paper a win for sure.

 

Go Bills!!

No as artificial surface.   Am only aware of this being done on natural grass fields.  Maybe the new stadium will be heated as early indications are that it will have natural turf.

That's not much of anything...field will be slick but that's about it.

Falcons are among the worst teams in the NFL by metrics. They win close games against bad/mediocre teams but get blown out in losses to good teams.

This should be a blowout.

I feel pretty confident about this game barring a snow storm in OP. Falcons are not good at rushing the passer, Josh should have plenty of time to sit back and make plays.

 

I think the Fans and a hyped up D will get to Ryan.

We did  a great job on Henry last week taking him out of the game so I think we focus on Pitts. 
 

Hopefully we get off to a fast start put some points on the board and roll.

Joe B doesn’t seem very worried. Said very little wind… ugh I wish I was there. Love a snow game in a dry day. It’s been about 5 years since I was lucky enough to be there in December or January for a game that wasn’t completely miserable weather.

Up early taking my 5-yo daughter to the ER because she woke up unable to breathe. Waiting now. Go Bills

 

Edit: After some breathing treatment we are back home monitoring her. They are not sure why her breathing closed up but think she will be OK.

Oh man, so sorry bro. That must’ve been so scary.

 

Glad she’s doing better.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Buffalo in January! Let's keep it rolling......GO BILLS!

[BuffaloBillyG]

This is going to be a Motor breakout game. Play him in fantasy. 100+ yards....2 TDs.

We had a bunch of BS penalties that game and I remember the Jags being blatantly Offside and it not being called.

Any chance they call a better game?   probably not, so leave no doubt Bills, CRUSH them!

Ugh— not this clown again.  They missed like 5 false starts and kept calling penalties on the wrong team.

Where do the Refs have their experience? The relatively new ones.. do they come from the college ranks? 
 

You would think if they are being evaluated after every game someone would clearly point out all the mistakes they made..

[Mr. K]

Perfect room temp in the living room. Hopefully Josh's big made for the conditions hands are ready to slap around these falcons.

I just hope Tre isn't flagged again for an unessesary roughness penalty 🙄
