Last year and this year at MetLife.

I misunderstood that you were talking about the Jets.

I wasn't. The other poster mentioned them. The Bills have lost 2 out of the last 3 to them. Next up the Pats. Need to get to 5-2 this weekend. If the Eagles win Sunday night, then the Bills are back in first.

I don't.  Doctors who discuss sports injuries on the internet, speculated it's an AC joint sprain by the way he fell and the reaction.   Interesting I noticed Allen's immediate reaction was the same as Richardson's.  Obviously Josh's injury should not be as severe since he still played.

Strange.  I've had an AC injury and the way he fell did not look like an AC injury at all.  Typically with an AC injury you impact the top of the shoulder.  The classic way to to it is if the arm is pinned (like when a tackler wraps a player up around the arm) while the top of the shoulder is impacted pushing it down and straining those ligaments.  When they said he hurt his shoulder I was thinking AC, but when I watched the tape he falls on the back of his shoulder, basically on the shoulder blade.  That would seem more like a bruise than an AC sprain.

Maybe we should start a new tradition for Patriots week.

 

Limericks?

There once was a team from Nantucket

Who all said Josh will just chuck it

So they went with Mac Jones

Who just can't read zones

Now their fans all shout "f*** it!"

he DOES fall on the top of his shoulder. It is the Dexter Lawrence hit that he falls onto his shoulder and grabs. Shoulder is tucked and he lands right on the top/outside of it. Are you thinking of a different hit?

 

I'm not speculating on the injury, just that it definitely looks like he falls on the top of his shoulder.

Hoodie Bill is going to get #300 sooner or later. Been stuck on 299 for awhile. I hate the law of averages. Time to right the offensive ship. Get points early for a change, Bury them early and get out of town.

I truly believe that the London trip totally disjointed the offense for the Jags game and most of the Giants game.

 

The offense was clicking, and then, BAM, the London trip.

 

But the excuses have run out.

 

Time for the O to get back on track and provide more answers than questions. 

I agree, if the offense gets back on track this week I think we can point to the travel causing issues.

There once was a team that just cheated
But now their fans mostly stay seated
They're back in football hell
And everything's well
The new Bills field will be heated

I just realized that this Pats game and our other Pats game are our only two 1:00 pm games left.  I doubt the Miami game is going to be 1:00 pm if the division is on the line or even playoffs for either team.

Two teams intimately familiar with each other and I expect another tough slog with an intra-divisional opponent. 

BB will take Diggs out of the game. He won't let him beat him.

Allen runs are going to hit defenses a lot different when they start cropping up in big games and in January, after not being on tape all year. 

Did Josh hurt his shoulder on a run play?

Diggs’s success against the Pats since becoming a Bill suggests otherwise as he averages 95 yards and a TD against BB.

&  night game where we lose having to wake up early after a loss both grumpy and tired is really annoying.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Anyone know if pats still mostly play man coverage?
 

For whatever reason, other than Diggs, our guys can’t seem to get open against man this year.

For sure

98.5 The Sports Hub (WBZ-FM) is the Patriots station. You should be listening to them, especially Felger & Mazz in the afternoon. The Patriots are a bigger mess than what the Giants were supposed to be, especially their offensive line. If we don't destroy them Sunday, then we need to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with McDermott.

No team can guarantee "destruction" against any NFL team. the 9ers can't against the Browns. The Chiefs can't against the Broncos or Jets. That's just not how it works

 

The bills destroy teams at historic rates under McDermott, whether or not that happens in week 7 against the Patriots isn't defining of anything
