He was a factor in the Chiefs game. Then the bye. Then the 49ers game, so not sure when he got hurt in the 49ers game. Quote

This could be a fun, loose, "let her rip" type of offensive outburst that puts up some eye-opening stats to help the cause. That's my optimistic viewpoint and I'm sticking with it. Expand I hope not. This offense is at its best when it doesn’t go for the big, sexy plays, but the high probability “small” plays gaining 5-7 yards a pop. Those big plays will work themselves out naturally like they have on our win streak. i really hope josh doesn’t try to press, especially these next two weeks, trying to get a highlight reel for MVP. Just take the underneath stuff that has gotten us 7 straight wins. Don’t get aggressive and put the ball in harms way. 4 Quote

This year our big plays are high percentage short to medium passes with RAC yardage, not low percentage bombs down the field. That has been the recipe for success.

Expand Yeah they are in a really good spot. So much a good spot that beating us doesn’t really even help them and losing to us doesn’t hurt. If they beat us the only advantage they get is they can lose to SF next week if they beat the jets the following week. If they lose to us the only harm is that HAVE to beat the jets and SF and hope for a Seattle loss which seems super likely. But no matter what happens against us they HAVE to beat Arizona and Seattle in the final 2 weeks if they want to make the playoffs. If the roles were reversed I would expect McD to not rush players back for this game. Quote

LA isn't great against the run. Barkley had a field day against them 2 weeks ago. Other than Allen I think Cook will be the key in this game. I think he rushes for over 100 yards with a TD. 3 Quote

I think the Bills will have a good game offensively and score over 30. My prediction 34-24 Bills. 1 Quote

wjag Posted December 5 Posted December 5 (edited) Bills have been pretty fortunate schedule-wise. What looked preseason as a daunting schedule has softened up quite a bit. Consider: Tua gets knocked out early in game and season. Rodgers isn’t him Dhop barely plays in Titans game. Flacco plays against Bills Mahommes didn’t have Pacheco and receivers go down Seattle didn’t have Metcalf 9ers injury riddled Rams less scary than originally thought. Stafford maybe somewhat hobbled. Detroit has big injuries on defensive front. Edited December 5 by wjag 1 1 Quote

I don't expect Joe Brady is going to go away from that. Expand If you're myopically concentrating on the short term, then yes, stick to the high percentage plan. But it seems that now would be a good time to think strategically about the rest of the season and the playoffs. Some advantages of opening up the offense include: 1. In game experience. Doing downfield plays in game situations. 2. Put out game tape of a different style of playing. This will give DC's more to think about in terms of game planning against the Bills. Remember when Balt devised a game plan designed to shut down the short high percentage pass? 3. Let the players have fun. Lets see what Cooper and Coleman can do with some down field opportunities. 4*** (Unspoken, give Josh an opportunity to put up MVP stats - ala the Dorsey led J Winston/Browns) 5. Have Joe Brady do something unexpected. Being unpredictable has some advantages. Quote
MikePJ76 Posted December 5 Posted December 5 So Tyler higbee was a full participant in practice yesterday. Did they have a walk through? Mcvay said Monday he wouldn’t return until next week. I wonder if he is playing Sunday. If he does that is one more offensive weapon to worry about on a team filled with them. Quote

Expand some of these are definitely good fortune but there’s some bad luck hiding in there too The fact that we played Miami twice early in the season and they had tua for 7/8 quarters is bad luck I’d say given how the rest of their season went lol Flacco over Richardson and Rudolph over Levis feel like upgrades to me we didn’t get Dhop much on the titans so that he could get traded to the chiefs which is worse I think the rams are pretty much right on track for their projected season win total if not better Edited December 5 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote

Kincaid - injured. Coleman - injured. Samuel - injured (it's got to be the turf toe right). Good teams find ways to win. 1 Quote
