Nick Wright just couldnt help himself. All offseason he said he was done with his Allen narrative and that Allen truly terrified him as a QB..... Then 2 days ago he says Allen isnt even in the top 4 for MVP. 😂

 

He just cant help himself..... He honestly probably realizes now that he was getting more pub when he was bashing Allen weekly.

Yes.  Many of the so-called “haters” aren’t really haters at all…they are entertainers putting out content to get clicks, hits, and reactions.

 

Whether they are actually “entertaining” or not is another matter…

Von Miller is genuinely hilarious!  Always saying some crazy stuff

[ColoradoBills]

Not only Crowder not going to IR, which is puzzling, is there any word on how Kumerow is recovering?

I wonder why McKenzie and his 4.3 speed is never used downfield? Do they just like using him on those crossers?

Fair question.  I seem to recall him having one beautiful deep sideline catch in one of our first 2 games, but I can't find it; the Titans maybe?

 

I think it's because he's short and has arms proportional to size; he's relatively easy to jam and out-physical during the legal contact yards, and that negates his speed advantage.  So they have to do something to give him a release, and even then, a closing safety can out-arm him.

They still have time before the game to put him on IR to count the week.

I love that video because it gave a great view of how jacked Diggs legs are.   He's not the biggest WR (some might even say slight) but his legs are truly impressive.

They do, but McDermott made the point that the Bills are getting short of bodies for a normal practice. 

 

So it would seem to their advantage to IR Crowder if he's gonna be out indefinitely, elevate someone off practice squad, and sign a healthy guy to the PS for practice?

Tavon Au---nevermind.... I guess our guy Hodgins is getting elevated this week. With Kumerow and Crowder sidelined he is the option.. unless somehow Gentry has surpassed him...

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Gabe Davis seemed loose today at practice. I think he’s ready for a big day Sunday.

Not ideal, but I’m guessing (hoping) a few of those are rest days to reduce the wear and tear. The video of Oliver earlier was very encouraging, I think he plays. Same with McKenzie.

 

[ShakAttack]

Tremaine Edmunds.... man WTF

[Shake_My_Head]

So Edmunds, Knox and Poyer haven't practiced all week.    That usually means sitting on Sunday.

Oliver has to be ready after 3 weeks, knock on wood. Didn’t Poyer say he was fine too?

Poyer is just sore ribs.  He will probably play.  Edmunds and Know who knows.  Hammy's are a B word.

As far as Knox,  did he even have a hammy yesterday?  Wasn't he just listed with "foot" on Wed?

 

If so,  what is up with all these hamstring injuries in practice this season 🤦‍♂️

Pretty sure it said Hamstring/Foot for Knox yesterday?

[MasterStrategist]

The Edmunds & Knox hamstrings, are sorta a mystery in terms of both finishing the game and no apparent play that theyvleft injured.

 

Obviously will know more tomorrow. but sitting out Wed-Thur is usually not a good sign.

 

[Logic]

I imagine the injured players are in one of three camps:

Those who have a decent chance of actually playing this week, those who the Bills will rest to try to get back for the Chiefs game, and those who likely won't return until after the bye.

Hopefully, Edmunds, Knox, big Ed, and Phillips are in the second category. I'd say Gabe, too, but with the other injuries to the receiving corps, he may be forced to play this week. I assume Tre White and Christian Benford will not be seen until after the bye. I expect McKenzie to clear concussion protocol in time for the game.
