Our next opponent….The NY Football Giants

[finn]

I would rather face Jones than Taylor. Taylor may be not be a risk taker, but he's mobile and doesn't turn the ball over. I can imagine him dinking and dunking down the field against our replacement LB and DB. Jones seems much easier to confuse into a turnover or sack.

At least we won't see Dawson Drops drop a ball if he's not playing.

I agree. That said, Tyrod has to be one the unluckiest QBs when it comes to injuries. I hope I am wrong about this, but I could see him getting banged up and leaving the game with the kind of pressure he will be under. Their oline is awful.

Plantar fasciitis sucks. It doesn't really go away until you rest it for a long while, in my experience. NBA players deal with it all the time. 

 

Yup.  Had it a couple times myself.  One of my most painful injuries.  There are special braces you can wear to keep your foot stretched out so it can try and heal, but rest is about the only thing you can do to really help it.  I am sure professional athletes have more treatment options than us average joes, but it is not an injury that just goes away overnight.

From NFL.com's Week 6 Bold Predictions:

 

Josh Allen posts eight touchdowns against the Giants, breaking the NFL record for most scores in a single game. The current league record stands at seven TDs, with four quarterbacks hitting that number since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger: Drew Brees (Week 8, 2015), Nick Foles (Week 9, 2013), Peyton Manning (Week 1, 2013) and Mark Rypien (Week 11, 1991).

Would never happen. McD will never run up the score like that against Daboll. He has too much respect for him, I doubt if Allen would want to do that either.

Can be incredibly painful, and at the very least causes significant overcorrection in foot strike and stride. Definitely dealt with it a couple times during puberty-age sports training. And calf injuries, which are similarly painful and persistent (but more worrisome with respect to aggravation).

TT is also 34 years old.  He hasn't started a game (4) since 2021 in Houston.  Started 1 game in his 2 years in LAC before that.

[Behindenemylines]

As long as we cover the field 5 yards out from the line of scrimmage we will take out TT passing game.  Particularly on 3rd and Long.  😁

[Dr.Sack]

Cook, Murray and Harris go off for 300 yards and 6 combine TDs.

[Doc Brown]

Knox and Waller both playing.

Cam's absolute OWNERSHIP of this record (most rushing TDs by a QB) is fascinating to me.

 

Cam has 74% more rushing TDs than the number two all-time QB, Steve Young.

74% more than the number-two guy on that list (soon to be rewritten by Josh, however, at least ownership of the two spot).

 

Yet Cam will not make the Hall of Fame. And I'm not suggesting he should, either.

Fascinating that a QB could absolutely crush the competition in a fairly substantial stat and still not have much of a legacy.

 

Again, I'm NOT saying Cam should be HOF worthy or have a great legacy, but this is a mind-blowing stat, to me, at least. If Cam showed some heart in his SB appearance, I think he would be remembered in a fairly better light. But he will be remembered as soft when it matters, and not a great passer.

A bit off topic but I was looking at the schedule and noticed 4 of the next 5 games are 8:00. 3 of them being in Buffalo.
 

I’m going to miss the 1:00 starts! Maybe  a great opportunity for Josh to make his MVP run. 

[transplantbillsfan]

So this is one of those "I'm not really worried but what if...?" scenarios:

 

What if the Giants come to play out of their minds in a "win one for the gipper!!!" situations and the Giants actually win  

 

I can't really see it happening and the Bills getting caught flat footed after last week. But I'm going to this game and that would make for a miserable car ride back to Rochester and a horrible night's sleep.

Not concerned about his age, although he might not be as mobile as he was in the past. But, true, he might just be out of practice. I hope so. Still, I'm expecting a savvy veteran who won't turn the ball over and can lead a few touchdown drives. 

 

The only way the Bills lose this is if they repeatedly turn the ball over themselves. Or if they're sleepwalking and let the Giants hang around in a low-scoring game. Daball might also pull out all the stops: going for it on fourth down all game, fake punts and FGs, trick plays, innovations, all-out blitzing. A desperate opponent is a dangerous one.

Tyrod 51 Tds and 16 Ints while in Buffalo

 

9 TDs and 10 Ints elsewhere.
