This might be the most injury-cautious coaching staff in the history of the NFL.  I'm not saying I disagree with the approach but my goodness they've been a complete horse hospital under McD.

 

Agree, and agreed.

 

Evil Me sometimes wants to go old school, like w race horses back in the day (I spent waaay too much time at Keenland): shoot 'em up with Buprenorphine and have at it.

 

I keeed, I keeed...

Last I checked. no one important from the offensive side is out! No excuses. Pats have a horrid injury list. Bills are either a contender or pretender. If this game is close, the Bills are alleged SB contender frauds... PERIOD!

Yes. Because sweeping hot takes after 7 weeks are always accurate. More things should be based on a 2-3 week basis.

So if they win 21-18, they’re frauds? 
 

A win is a win. As fans…we’ll scrutinize their play, but it always shocks me how quickly people can dismiss the past success this team has earned.

 

They’re still a very good football team.

We’re finding out about a lot of players on defense, that’s for sure. Depth tested.

I wouldn't mind Boogie around now.

I think if the Bills somehow go down 0-3 in the first quarter I would drag McD out of the arena in chains.

What will you want to do to McD if the Bills are up 17-0 by end of 1Q?

Hey, this is a family board!

 

P.S. I've always wondered, is your avatar C Bukowski?

[JerseyBills]

I expected to see more of Groot/AJ inside on passing downs. Hope we can incorporate some version of that w Floyd playing outta his mind and Von hopefully getting a full workload

 

Ed is another huge L for the D. He's been playing phenomenal

AJE does NOT set the edge well. Groot does

 

one or two injuries to interior DL and we may be in trouble 

Obviously Ed Oliver’s injury doesn’t help.  But NE’s offensive line has struggled pretty bad this season too.  So I think I’d call it more of push than a disadvantage

DJones out for the season, at least we still have Ed.......ohh wait. Dang

We know DJ is out for the season?

If the Patriots rush for 125 yards and get consistent push on b/n the tackle runs the Bills could easily lose this game. Mac Jones is good at the short passes and can dink and dunk with the best of em. If I’m McD I’m putting Dane and Benford on an island, playing 1 safety deep and focusing on stuffing the run and short passes.

Allen and company will score more than 30 points. Injuries or no injuries the Pats won't match the Bills score for score.

Or we win 14-9 😂

Oh how we can wish / hope

 

but he won’t. He will not change

 

we’ll get dink and dunked to death the rest of the season. Teams like Kc and cincy and sf will steam roll

Technically, no. He was quoted as saying 6 weeks to heal, a couple weeks of rehab and a couple of getting back into the swing of it. So 10 weeks from now is pretty much season. So if he's available post season that would be a bonus, but for now we don't have him so......

We’ll find out soon. The Giants OL and WRs are so bad be can’t even grade that game. It was good to get some live action though. Patriots won’t be much of a test either.

 

But Poona Ford and Rousseau should be able to handle missing Oliver in terms of inside rush. Hopefully Settle steps up at a 1T.
