It seems like teams have figured that out and are ready for that. If I’m not mistaken he threw a few int. Rolling to the right, 

While I agree with the sentiment, it's more the case that teams do game plan for Josh's tendency to roll out right, but they don't have a consistent solution.

Dawkins being out is not good.

 

This will have a far greater impact on the game than Von Miller being out IMO.

 

 

Close anyway

Looks like another day of Knox having to spend half the game working in the backfield.

Which really sucks because that Pats LB's and S' are fat to be plucked : - (

 

 

Statistics show this is an entirely false narrative. 

 

He's run the 6th most routes of any TE in football... and that includes the fact he missed time with injury. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Spencer Brown is so bad that I thought about Bobby Hart today.

He's missed one game and is on the field all the time. I bet he's also taken more snaps than most of the TE's in the league, so his total route #s probably don't tell us much.

The guy has done a lot of blocking this year (probably because of how much better he's gotten at it) and will probably be doing even more the next couple weeks.

Yeah he has done a lot more blocking this season. I'd like to see him used in the passing game more though.

[Bills!Win!]

Does Josh get over 100 yards rushing since Dawkins is out?

Big loss. Judon must be drewling.

Man I am messing up spelling things myself , honestly it never happened until I was under from 5 pm-10 pm working on my neck with 5 bad discs   They go very to the carotid during the surgery and the neurisurgein said I was actually his 5 th case of that same surgery that day. My memory was Perfect before with names of players from years ago and I could name the band who played any given song. Now I am struggling with names k nothing else but names really are an issue for me. 
 

 Not joking , has anybody else ever experienced that after being under for a long time, even with perfect health before ?  I appreciate it if you have ever experienced something similar that you might be ok sharing!.  Anyhow , it’s drooling or salivating and I’m not being an a$$ just pointing out the spelling so forgive me. But I really do wonder if anyone ever noticed a change after being under for a long surgery. Hyde prob had a similar surgery this year but he is much younger as I just turned 65 and I think he just had a single disc done. 
 

 I think we will be ok with quess having a week to prepare.but this is a true test for Dorsey to see if he can protect Josh yet keep the offense productive. This is a crtical gsme and Dorsey needs to step up without hurting our o by taking another guy out of the routes. Likewise without Von , the pats are free now to not have to keep a guy in to chip von and it opens their offense up more. Will be a matchup of o coordinators to see who is the most creative!  It’s Dec , time to get serious and peak!  Thanks for your thoughts if you can empathize as it’s a little concerning and just wondered if any one every experienced something similar!  Go Bills and Happy Holidays!

Play the game with a 6th O-Lineman ... If you protect Josh, good things will happen.

[Success]

Was it last season that our O-line was pretty bad most of the season, but then did a 180 in December & the playoffs?

 

Hope they can pull that off again.

We absolutely miss Crowder. People don't talk about it much but he was a real outlet.

Prime Beasley on this team would do wonders, yes. On the current roster I think we miss Crowder more than some realize.

It's difficult to replicate the chemistry that Josh and Beasley had.  Crowder only had six catches in three and a half games.  Could they have increased his role in this offense?  Yes.  However, there was nothing up to that point that showed me he was the answer in the slot to adequately replace Beasley.

I'm projecting about what I expected his impact would have become, of course. But I think he's shown a knack for soft spots in zone over his career that would have helped move the chains.

This is the only thing that has me worried.

[machine gun kelly]

We need Dion healthy down the stretch so let him sit.  Ques will have to do.  If he makes it back for the Jets would be a good sign as the Jets have a punishing front seven.  They’ve made the most of all those high draft picks the last couple of years.

So would we all. But the line hasn’t played well.

Why are the Bills the only team that can't throw quick passes to mitigate the opponents pass rush???

Because they don’t try every thing is home run than check down

I think it is the after effects of the anesthesia.  I was on the table for eight hours in early September and even now, certain words just cannot be retrieved.

Quessenberry(sp?) finished the lions game at LT after Dawkins went out

It's pretty impressive that he has played RT and LT, and pretty well at that too.
