Cook is listed as questionable for Sunday.  I have not seen for what reason.

I wonder if he is sick like jordan phillips was.

Cook missed due to personal reasons. No game designations have been given yet. IMO nothing to worry about unless he misses again tomorrow. 

 

EDIT: James Cook had a baby today per Katherine Fitzgerald

Glad it’s a baby and not something bad! Hope he can go Sunday, but I like what I’ve seen from Murray.

How can he be listed as questionable already?  That designation won't come out til tomorrow.

He just had a baby born today...likely will be good to go.

Good usage of "per" instead of "via"...would have definitely led to some interesting takes.

Unfortunate to hear the Kirksey news... liked having that veteran backup option for Bernard if he gets dinged and I felt like he was going to be an upgrade over Klein with MLB coverage assignments.

 

The Bills need to focus on this opponent - could easily be a trap game if their attention drifts to Miami next week.

Our defense has been gashed early in games with screens and some reverse sweeps... seems to be a combination of being a bit overly aggressive getting up field and some dumb inside moves by our DEs losing contain on the edges (Epenesa last week). Looking for some more discipline early from that unit to play sound and pitch an early shutout.

Hoping we are able to pad an early lead on them and then you can release the dogs so they can feed. Also, fingers-crossed that Dorsey has a solid game plan and Allen plays within it but still does the Allen things needed when the play design breaks down. Expect more play-action and runs to slow down the rush and help the offense get into a rhythm.

 

Would like to see Kincaid continue to evolve as a receiver and build on the success he had last week.

Aren't both ways acceptable? If you use "vs" instead of "@" then it's "home team vs away team"

 

Wow... all these decades and I had never run across that convention. Gonna look into it a bit deeper.

Wasn't the same kind of storm taking aim at the Baltimore game last year?  Someone has to stop scheduling these late sept/early oct mid atlantic games.

 

 

The range of tropical storms both geographically and calendar-wise has expanded. Recently California had its first tropical storm on record (causing flooding in SoCal). Also, Tornado Alley has grown both eastwards and northwards.

 

I would guess that simply tweaking the algorithm isn't going to accomplish anything other than making the schedule maker's jobs more difficult.

Pat Hammer says the storm will be gone

 

I wish he would stick to running the parking lot. That's a big enough job as it is.

Washington’s O leads the League in chunk plays, albeit not against a top defence so far. Bills D gives up chunk plays. Could be interesting. Eager to see how Josh makes out against another elite front.

Bills are a better team and should win but I’m not expecting a blowout.

Worried about our defense. I feel Like they overplay on jet sweeps and screens, and I can see the Skins running a lot of those, and other misdirections on Sunday.  Hopefully our guys stay disciplined.

I'm more worried about Bernard.  We have Kincaid to cover Knox.  We don't have much to cover Bernard.
