Thats certainly better than 12 at the end of the game.   (Too soon?)

Looked like his leg was dangling on TV. Maybe a bad angle. Positive news I stand corrected 

Expand  

So we went from his leg is dangling, to I stand corrected. Was his leg corrected?

I love this news but the ankle is a funny thing.  My son broke his a few years ago and the initial x-rays were negative; after the swelling went down they did an MRI and found a fracture.  Just too many little bones in that area.  
 

If it’s only a sprain, well, thank the baby Jesus.

Unless it’s a high ankle sprain. That can sometimes be worse than a break with all the ligament damage

Very little relevance, but I broke both my wrist in different occasions, and I sprained it one time, it was way worse than the breaks.  About the same recovery time for me tho

[Scott7975]

Even with just a sprain he likely isnt playing this week.  Maybe not the rest of the way.

I hate how the Bills always seem to find a way to make it dramatic. The game should’ve been over in the first half. 
 

In the 2nd quarter they kept throwing it to the runningback or receive behind the line of scrimmage. They got wonderful field position at the their own 45, and went three and out and lost yardage. Kicked it and then Bernard got hurt. Then they CANNOT EXECUTE a 49 yard field goal and the whole thing was fueled to go up in flames. 
 

I just want to say one more thing about the terrible field goal unit. Bass will kick a 55 yarder half way up the net. He needs to be counted on to make that 49 yarder. It’s in his range, and you just have to put him in a position to succeed. It was the right call. But there also has to be consequences for botching it. I don’t know what that is, but this unit has to be made to understand that you won’t hesitate to call on them whenever and wherever. 
 

Until Bass starts missing them short but perfectly straight, all this is in his head. 
 

So Bass, I promise you, you’ll never miss a 49 yarder short. Just kick the damn ball up into the air!

It’s a good thing we didn’t need a field goal to win it.

Concerned about the injuries. Hopefully Dodson and Douglas are back next week.

Expand  

I just posted in the injury thread

 

If Dodson is a torn labrum as rumored even if he comes back he's likely going to be a shell of himself - and if he takes direct hits on the shoulder it could pop out and/or debilitate him pretty quickly

For those who went to the game: How in holy hell did y'all get the snow all cleared from the seats? Where did you put the snow? During the pregame show, not too long before kickoff, it looked like half the stadium's seats were covered in white, then at kickoff time, the stadium looked full and no white to be seen! Also, what percentage of the crowd were Squealers fans?

They’ll have to shoot our TB43 to keep him off that field next week. He’d play with Barbaro’s leg if he has to.

If we ever win it my friend, (not sure your years of suffering) It will the best feeling you ever had other than your wife and kids, and I have neither.  Let's ***** go Buffalo!  In Josh Allen I trust 

[Not at the table Karlos]

Was there ever an explanation on why the second play we challenged wasn’t a fumble?

Bills CB Rasul Douglas told me in the locker room he felt he was ready to play, but the team held him out. Douglas then said he'll play next week against the Chiefs.

They thought the ball grazed the TEs helmet while he was out-of-bounds. Therefore, it’s OOB.

I would prefer Mahomes if you put a gun to my head. Allen is a close second though. Splitting hairs here. Bottom line is the Bills are in a great position for years ahead with Allen. Gotta get that Lombardi soon!!!

Cool man!  Thanks for sharing!

Bulldog is saying the league was pushing to play this in Atlanta yesterday at 1pm.  Bills pushed back obviously.

I wanted to give your post an 'Awesome!' emoji but then I saw that the info was from Timmuh.
