We have too many skill players "out of sorts" - the play gets to them, and they can't clinch the deal.  If it's true Knox is playing with a torn ligament and a broken bone, in a brace, I don't want to dunk on him too much, but it's not good.  Gabe Davis fumbling, etc.

 

I am proud of our LB and Taron Johnson.  They may be small, but they're fierce.  When Taron tackles a guy, he knows he's been hit.

I trust that the Bills WR’s and TE’s will get it going with more time. I think it’s better to have these “clunkers” in October in order to work on things early in the season.
 

I think the offensive line has been doing good and is very encouraging. As long as Josh is healthy and hopefully the Harris injury isn’t as serious as it looked (I hope this is like Dane Jackson’s injury last year when he got carted off in an ambulance and ended up only missing a few weeks somehow) then the Bills got out decent on the injury front. Kincaid and Dane got the night off so that’s also going to hopefully lead to them being available next week.
 

The Bills offense ran right at the Giants strongest defensive point their DT combo and MLB and had they needed to they easily could have ran for a lot more had they had more opportunities. They got 4.4 per carry with Josh only accounting for 2 carries on 11 yards and that average was probably higher if not for close down situations that they usually converted on.

 

Torrence and McGovern really have allowed the Bills to have a power running game

What good does bitching do? Just enjoy the game.

I'm not bitching. The game was a frustrating watch but euphoric at the end. 

 

Happy about the win and not happy about how they played. Isn't that a fair statement? Or is that bitching?

Saquon gashed us on that one series when they got the lead back. Next series Benford freaking sticks him, like that's enough of that.

Did McDermott or anyone say if Kincaid is actually out of concussion protocol yet?  I know he could be in protocol on Friday and theoretically cleared right before the game....

 

FWIW, Jackson missed one (1) game last year.

Chiefs fans gladly take ugly wins, even ones courtesy of questionable calls/ non- calls at the end. Take it and move on. One can insist that other teams will magically improve and overcome their shortcomings, and the Bills will not … whatever does it for ya, but it’s just trolling at this point.

I feel the same way. The Bills are

4-2 but it feels like 2-4. 

You seem to be bitching. It's better this way than the other way round

If Josh is good then I think the only major injury was Harris. Hopefully Harris injury isn’t as serious as it looked. I thought Dane Jackson last season had a season ending and career threatening injury last year and he only ended up missing a few weeks somehow

No, the problem is seeing 4-2 and feeling that it's a good team.

Well, we did beat the piss out of a very good Miami team two weeks ago.  Not sure specifically what happened the last two weeks, but the overall evidence points to us being a good, albeit flawed, team.

You always take the Ws pretty or ugly but it sure won’t instill a lot of confidence 

Why wouldn’t it? I feel like gritty wins build character

The Giants smartly ran a bunch of trap plays and McD smartly adjusted the defense.

One.

 

He missed one week, somehow.  Played in 15 games.

I think he came back 3 weeks later as one week was a bye week. But you are correct he only missed a game

Great point. So you admit the injuries to Tre, Milano, and Jones will be difficult to overcome? 

 

The point is the defense played a terrible offense. Not their fault but it still has to be put in its proper perspective. The defense still has a lot of work to do. It's nowhere near super bowl quality. 

Idk if they’ll be difficult to overcome yet but you certainly can’t give an injury excuse to only one team.

 

elam playing due to injuries is just free yards and the defense has still looked pretty decent with Williams/Bernard 

 

they played a terrible offense that some of which was due to Daniel jones and some of which was due to not having their best offensive player until now.  They had some other pretty big pieces return too 

 

not enough credit is being given to the giants front 7 imo just because their team is ‘bad’. Those guys were everywhere tonight.  Best front 7 performance we’ve seen against us all year including the jets…I’m sure some was Daboll having the inside scoop though 

 

I don’t think there’s been a team in recent memory that has powered through key defensive player injuries better than the bills…the ravens are up there too 

 

we saw a few real high power offenses with our entire starting secondary injured last season and held up pretty well and we’ve got guys deep down the depth chart stepping up and playing pretty well this year too 

genuinely who looks Super Bowl worthy right now?  Eagles and 49ers both looked mortal today, chiefs have been up and down, dolphins we’ve beat already

Just saw that Boogie Basham had a tackle. I wasn’t even aware he was active.

It's a nit, but he missed week 3 (the Miami Heatstroke game)  Came back week 4.  Bye week was 7

He missed that one and I'm not even sure he needed too, it was weird like the most horrible looking thing possible and he was fine but maybe they kept him out to be safe. Hyde on the other hand totally innocent looking play out until Conference Championships.

I actually think Harris should be kept out a bit to heal/strengthen.  RBs by the nature of the position go head first into a scrum of guys every carry.

That would have won the ugliest sister in Cinderella competition.

Go ugly early, I always say.

[RunTheBall]

I think Harris got a bad stinger. The hit was clean, almost looked like a whiplash injury. After Hamlin the NFL is going to always err on the side of caution. He’ll be back in a 2-3 weeks in my armchair doc opinion.
