Honest question...where have you seen that Mac Jones is playing through several injuries? I ask because I have been reading/listening to Bills vs Pats content all week and I haven't seen or heard this anywhere. I was under the impression that most people agree that his recent decline in play is due to hitting the rookie wall and/or opponents starting to get enough film on him to begin taking away what he does best.

 

Also, I appreciate the majority of your contributions on here (I like the debate and think it's a good thing when non-troll fans of the opposing team are active on this board), but I have to disagree with your comment about the Bills defense, " a D that is pretty good." The Bills are the #1 scoring defense and the #1 total defense as well as an elite passing defense (#1 by a relative mile). Both of our defenses have struggled vs the run to some extent, but the Bills rank more favorably at 13th in rush yards per game and 11th in rush plays per play. The Bills have managed to accomplish all this even without their All-Pro CB Tre White for a large part of the season and despite only finding the best rotation for our defensive line 3-4 weeks ago. Doesn't matter what opposing fans really think in the end (or Pro Bowl voters for that matter), but the stats don't lie. 

Haven’t seen it anywhere, they have said it on sports radio (George & Max and Zola’s & beetle) that they have heard he is playing threw numerous injuries. It wouldn’t shock me if he was hurt but since he wasn’t limited in practice it wouldn’t show up.. (also explain that HUGE glove on his hand last week) I could also believe he hit the rookie wall I mean 17 games plus 3. Pre season.. that’s a lot more than what he is use to.. 

 

I said “pretty good” because IMO there are no truly elite or great D’s in the league this year. IMO all of them have an Achilles heal and against the wrong matchup can be exposed. Like IMO the Titan are your D’s worse matchup.. with a great run game and 2 very good WR they be hard press to stop them. Now I can be wrong but that’s my opinion. :)  (FYI doesn’t mean your team couldn’t win just that I think be very high scoring.)

You know I hear everyone say how the media is drooling over Jones.  It has to be the national media because the ones up here are absolutely brutal on the kid.  (Adam Jones on 98.5 is the worst w him lol)

 

As for “having fun” I meant more like no pressure since no one, in their right minds, think they will win this game.  Doesn’t matter who the coach is. We have 1 top corner then after that it’s our 4th 5th and Practice squad guys.  But IMO Buffalo has all the pressure, you have the better. Team and they are suppose to be SB Contenders.. meanwhile Pats we’re considered a fringe playoff team..
 

I think they will make it close and the D once again will fail to make that critical stop to give Jones the ability to win or tie the game late.  (See Indy, Buffalo, Miami etc.) 

 

More BS.

 

I live in Mass. I hear the shows. Brutal on the kid?!?! No, sorry. Not remotely true. 

 

Additionally, they are all high and mighty and have no respect for the Bills. Your assertion that no one in their right mind thinks they will win the game is patently false.

Yeah, it's odd.  The Bills will be at home, healthier than they were when they blew-out the Cheaters on their own field, and they've won their last 4 games while the Cheaters have lost 3 of their last 4.

Nice contrast to last year's playoffs where all of the receivers were hobbled to some degree!

 

Neither Davis nor Beas look healthy to me. Both seem a little off their game and I notice they both take some time getting up a few plays a game. But neither are on the injury report so idk.

Beasley looks particularly bad. I don’t know what it is— may be those ribs still. He doesn’t look right. 
 

i actually am predicting that Sanders is going to have a huge game this week.  He will have a huge matchup advantage of Mills is out.

Wynn, Mills, and Dugger would all be huuuuge losses for the Pats. I’ve seen some speculation that Dugger may play, but with a clubbed hand. Have to think that makes him less effective at shedding blocks and hand-fighting.

Barmore being out will be huge for us.  Please Lord, they have 6 Super Bowls and we have none.  Barmore is wealthy and young....he will be okay if that knee pain doesn't subside until Sunday.  

 

I'd rather he played. Likely hitting a rookie wall. Not a cold weather guy either, not much experience. We did just fine on him a few weeks ago.
