Fully healthy going into the playoffs?

[Process]

Is this team really about to go into the playoffs not missing a single starter or backup, other than Baylon Spector?

[BillsFan130]

Looks that way. Bernard should be back judging by McDermott this week.

Healthiest they have ever been

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Our defense needs it to compete

[Don Otreply]

It could happen…,

No doubt we got some backup levels as our starters

Looks like it...and from what I saw from Ulofshio today I wouldn't let Spector see the field except on special teams.

Being healthy is extremely important.  We haven't been in the biggest games the last few years.  Gotta stay that way.

 

But this is about the defense and the coaching.  We haven't seen a Playoff run yet where the defense has played great football when it matters and I am not sure we have seen a Playoff run without some terrible coaching decisions that hurt us at critical times.  McDermott preaches growth and learning from mistakes.  Let's see if he and his defense finally heed that advice this Playoff run.

No excuses or scapegoats this year Sean. Fully healthy defense and hopefully Denver and a rookie qb at home next week. Offense also completely healthy. Now we'll see how motivated these guys are.

Agree. Really no circumstance I want Spector playing.

It’s against backups so I take it with an grain of salt… but after seeing him and Andreesen’s performances today, it’s absolutely absurd they never saw the field when there was a LB issue with Bernard/Milano/Dorian. 
 

Very strange. 

[Kelly to Allen]

Not only healthy but rested

The question must be asked.

 

If some how the Bills lose to Denver next week with the healthiest this team has been after a full regular season, does it mark the end of McD. I mean losing at home to a 7th seed with a rookie QB would be inexcusable, right?

No more excuses for McDermott.

Losing with 13 seconds to play was inexcusable.  Sadly even a home loss to the Broncos won't rid us of him. If the defense collapses or the special teams chokes he can scapegoat Babich or Bass or someone else.

 

Not going to happen. Allen is taking us to the SuperBowl!

[Virgil]

Fully healthy, yes.  Good, meh.  I have zero expectations of our defense.  
 

The defensive line has absolutely disappeared for multiple games at a time.  
 

Our passing defense has gotten shredded in back to back games.  
 

We are the worst in the NFL on third down. 
 

Throw in our inconsistent special teams who allowed multiple 40 yard returns and spastic Bass, and we need to pull away from teams to secure any victories.  

[BillsfaninSB]

Don’t jinx it.  Mystery injuries pop up after a game constantly.

I would say yes, but I doubt he willl be held responsible.

No. This question really doesn’t have to be asked this week.  
 

I’m currently drinking my celebration scotch.  We sealed up the 2 seed, everyone got healthy, haven’t had a hard game in 4 weeks, set multiple franchise season records.    And just helped the pats screw the selves out of the #1 pick.    
 

its a good day.  The real games start next week.  Why think about anything but the success of this year and have hope for where we can still go?  
 

Go Bills!!
