How about 3) he hurt his knee during the Lions game in a way that wasn't observed and reported?  These guys get so much adrenaline going during the game that they do get hurt and don't really even feel it.  It isn't necessarily serious, but it may need more treatment.  Most of these guy's injuries aren't really healed by a week of rest, even when they're not too serious. 

 

We'll just have to see.

 

FWIW I mined the practice reports for previous weeks.

Bills have had 39 instances where a player was "DNP" 2 days in a row.

Outcomes:

Out 30

Q, inactive 1

Q, active but left game early 1

Q, active 2

(-), active 4

(-), inactive 1

 

It really comes down to what the practice status is on Friday.  29 of the 30 "out" designations DNP on Fri also.

Milano is one of the guys who previously DNP 2 days, practiced Friday, was questionable for the game, and played.

 

Nice analysis

I miss the days of hoping our team was good enough to beat teams...instead of hoping our 2nd and 3rd string guys are good enough collectively to beat teams. 

Well, the good news is our second and third string guys have been good enough to be teams

[Big Turk]

Did not know about this...wow BillsMafia never fails to impress even when nobody knows about it...

Those are no joke...I had some due to hip surgery and they found 3 PE's that traveled to my lungs. Quite the shock when doctors came in and told me I should be dead. When I have a bad day or things aren't going the way I want them to, I think back to that day and things seem a whole lot better pretty quickly.

I wonder what "deal with" means. 

 

This Sunday will be 5-weeks since the initial injury. 

 

I can't believe he would still be in pain every time he throws. I haven't seen him on the field rub the elbow after a throw, or shake out his arm after a hit. 

 

I can see some tenderness after a game maybe, or working on the range of motion/tightness in the joint.

If there's anything I know about this defense it's this: not having Matt Milano is bad news. It's always painfully obvious how much he is needed.

 

I will say this.  I feel better about it with AJ Klein in the mix than I did depending upon Terrell Bernard to pick up the slack.

 

Klein can't replace Milano, but in 2020 with Milano on IR, Frazier cooked up some little tweaks to our normal scheme that allowed Klein to win "Defensive Player of the Week" IIRC.

 

Klein still has it from the shoulders up.  Bernard may have a higher physical ceiling but he's got a bit of a climb mentally.

NOAA chiming in...not looking good.

 

 

I'm going to say it's not a bad thing if the weather is cold and bad.

Mike White (a Florida boy) has never played an NFL game in bad weather.

He just may be in for a surprise at Highmark Stadium Sunday.

Josh said it doesn't bother him on game day.  Maybe he's getting a shot, maybe it's just adrenaline takes over.

He played against the Bears in the rain in Chicago a few weeks ago and threw for over 300 yards.

It was 50 degrees and no wind and a drizzle.  Come on man, don't hit me with the negative waves!

I could throw for 300 yards in the rain against the Bears and I suck.

Really? I think I could get like 275, 280 tops.

He played a good game.

 

A lot of the yardage was on two deep passes to Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore, 54 and 42 yards respectively

 

Guy came out with some swagger last time we played, 5th round pick in 2018 "I should have been picked in the 1st round".  Bills picked him - picked him 4x.

Has he learned something since then?

 

We'll see.

[boater]

A cold and wet game.

We know Zach Wilson can go 9 for 22 with 77 passing yards.

The weather forecast reminds me of under the radar horrible weather game in this same time frame:

 

2007 against the New York Giants.

 

Absolutely frigid, rain/snow mix all game, tons of wind, 30’s. 
 

Did anyone else go to that game?

Was that the game both teams could only score at one end of the field?  If so, yes I was there.

My dad is definitely smarter than Zach Wilson's dad.
