I will be there... my once-in-eight-year opportunity to see the Bills with just a half hour's drive versus a cross-country flight.   Don't underestimate the Seahawks.  They are not a great t

Thanks for this. I live in Portland, which has its share of problems similar to those in Seattle, and unfortunately, that's ALL you hear about -- and more often than not from people who have neve

Re the Ravens game, I would still argue that that game would have been totally different but for the terrible trick play. 21-10, and we are driving really well. We get a TD there instead of a fumble,

Because we're missing a LB and rotational DT? Bills fans way over exaggerate the impact of injuries at non-premium positions. No excuses in this one. The Seahawks are an average offense and likely missing their best player. If they score more than 20 points it's a failure IMO.

He’s super annoying. So is Maddie. I pretty much only listen to Joe Marino now because the people on WGR are terrible also

Same - Joe is what I listen to almost every morning to start my day-hes great -

Maddie though, I completely agree - cannot listen - even if I am listening to WGR - the minute she comes on - I'm out

I really only like Eric Wood and sometimes Sal is good-but also sometimes not

Maddy actually has some great analysis and relevant stats when she presents IMO -- it’s just her voice 😬

I can't even disagree here- but only because as soon as she talks I turn it off- maybe if she uses the voice changing software from scream it would be good?

Was just looking on twitter and google.  Nothing reported yet but it's only 11:46am in Seattle.

That's true...

 

Although it seems the Bills are always releasing their injury reports throughout the week earlier in the day than their opponents do.  Wonder if that is just how they do things and get them done early in the day versus waiting til the deadline.

Well first of all, my comment was tongue in cheek.  But it is true that Bernard is one of our best defenders and Carter has really been coming on strong.  I’m not “worried” about Seattle but they do throw the ball around a lot.

 

I feel confident our offense will score in the mid-20s or better against that defense.

MLB is an important position in this defense.  You must also look at who the replacement is….and Bernard’s replacement sucks

Really just depends on what time they practice and media availability.  Yesterdays report came out around 3:30pm EST.

 

Either way, MacDonald said that even if he doesn't practice he could still play on Sunday so unless they rule him out, he's still questionable.

It's so weird they would risk a potential serious injury with something like that and a full tear that would sideline him months and require surgery for a non-conference game especially since they have the Rams and then a bye after. About as smart as TB allowing Mike Evans to play and then him injuring his hammy worse and now out multiple weeks.

 

MacDonald is going to find out when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes I think if he ends up playing.

Kind of feel like why TB is going to be out this week with Miami coming up next week with Tua back.  Would rather have him health for the division game than the one-off out of conference game.

I mostly agree with your sentiment here, but our MLB who is the green dot player and team captain is a premium position.  We've seen a major difference between him and Spector so far this year, particularly when it comes to defensive alignments/pre-snap recognition, as well as post-snap recognition/falling for misdirection.

 

I like what I've seen of Carter so far, but our backup 3-tech is hardly at the same level.

I’m with you in the sense that I’m more concerned with the offense on the road. Need to generate some points in this one.
