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. 

 

Let's assume the unlikely---that Daboll is capable of any of this (innovations!!).  Why would he wait until Week 6 to whip out all these "dangerous" plays?

Because he thinks it's now or never? And it's against his old team in his old town?

Dane Jackson apparently has plantar fasciitis. This injury is about pain tolerance and load management. Extremely painful actually but players push through it all the time. It explains why he didn't practice much but is not declared out for the game. If it feels okay during warm-ups he will play. I would guess if it turns into a blowout he will get pulled, no need to put stress on that injury anymore than absolutely necessary.

 

Knox took a helmet to the wrist against the Jags and reportedly tore a ligament in his hand/wrist. There is also apparently a fracture in that area. He has it braced up. He can play through the ligament damage with the brace, but usually a fracture in that area keeps players out 2-3 weeks out of caution (the bone in that area generally does not heal very well). My guess is that if he plays against the Giants it will be a lighter load than usual.

 

A torn ligament (unless it's a minor tear) is typically very slow or non-healing without surgery.

 

But this might explain his problems catching the ball.
