Taking the visitors' locker room was McDermott's choice yesterday. He did it knowing the Bills would be visitors on Thanksgiving. It gave the Bills players a chance to get comfortable with it. It's a small thing, but McDermott looks for any edge he can get. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Since the last Tampa Bay vs. Seattle game ended (in London before the Bills/Minn game).....Buffalo will play 3 full games before Tampa/Seattle plays again. So bizarre. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not your fathers NFL anymore, this is the fantasy football league era. Kelly and those Bills teams would’ve feasted heavily though!! *hopefully some will get the “not your fathers Oldsmobile” reference.. buncha geezers here I know.

Yea don't try to keep the big strong farm boy away from getting his turkey leg after victory. Hopefully a easy win but most importantly one with no injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's on to the Lions, and what are we supposed to worry about. The one thing I have noticed in the Browns game was that Josh has reverted some to his poor platforms when he throws. A number of plays he had the "happy feet" and is not setting his feet. When he did this in the past his passes tended to be high and without a lot of touch. I could speculate that it might be caused by indecision. It was better in the 2nd half with some check downs and some TE swing throws. Please Dorsey, keep taking what the D gives you to get Josh comfy again. I hope he can clean that up again. Even if he doesn't, I'll take the Bills giving up 10. I think there’s this notion floating around that the lions offense is way better than the browns but it’s really not true. cleveland is 4th in the league in ypg and detroit is 6th so pretty similar. Not to mention brissett was excellent yesterday in a way that I don’t think Goff is even capable of. The ball placement on some of those throws in tight coverage was really impressive Detroit is basically Cleveland with a worse defensive line and we get a full week of practice this time Edited November 21, 2022 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The Bills will have one practice session this week like last week. The difference is last week was not planned. The Bills practice on Thursday and expected to practice Friday. The weather forced a cancelation of the Friday practice. I suspect the format of the Tuesday practice will be a little different to cope with the fact that it is the only one. Specifically, since Josh is another week removed from his elbow injury, the number of pass attempts in practice will go up compared to last week when they were reduced as a precaution to prevent reaggravating the injury. I think the limited number of passing attempts in practice last week is at least partially the cause of his tentativeness and inaccuracy at the start of the Cleveland game.

MasterStrategist Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 After listening to Coach's presser, it sounded like: Likely out this week: Edmunds, AJ Likely to return: Elam Limited/lean toward playing: Morse, Quessenberry Limited/likely more questionable: Groot Complete unknown: Tre Always tough playing on a short week, hopefully can get Klein up to speed quickly and get Elam/Morse/Quessenberry healthy enough to play. Groot would be a bonus, but I could see us calling up a P/S def end this week...also be interesting how they handle Gentry/Rhodes (each have just 1 callup remaining). Speedy also has to be close to playing, activating him this week could be something to watch. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a significant amount of time missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blank Stare Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Everyone pissing and moaning about Tre (myself included 😂), but at least we know what we get from Tre (or at least old Tre anyway). He’s got “skins on the wall” as they say and he’s earned the benefit of the doubt/patience with me. Epenesa on the other hand is looking more and more like a terrible busted pick. Injuries happen, but even without the injury the guy was basically invisible. Not breaking any news here, but you need more than making one or two plays a year out of a second round pick. Boogie Basham is trending the same way. We have to start hitting on these second rounders. Especially, those at defensive positions taken at the expense of upgrading the offense for Josh (yes, I know we took Cook this year). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Josh is back. I heard it click when he hit Gabe with that beautiful crosser. That first quarter was 80% in his head, 20% thinking of the elbow. The guy was second guessing what he was seeing because I’m sure McD made it clear no turnovers was the goal. Unfortunately you can’t play scared, especially a guy like Josh, but he had the mental fortitude to turn it around IN GAME and straighten his head out. No, he didn’t go bombs away after that, he didn’t need to. He moved the chains, hit his check downs quicker, and took what the D gave him. We needed a game where Josh didn’t need to be THE MAN and we still win comfortably (despite Mr. Inconsistent Gabe on the HANDS team). The team needed to see that when their QB isn’t 100% they can rally around and still win the game. That’s huge and will pay dividends in the future. I expect a similar game from Josh against the Lions with a few more deep shots off of play action especially if we can establish the run again. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Davis were teammates at UCF btw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That crosser to Gabe was also a bit of redemption for #13, as he had some hands of stone on a couple of earlier throws. That being said we gave up 3 TD's and only scored two ourselves. Glad that Bass-o-Matic was having a career day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
