TB is going to be pissed they loss at home to us.. and take it out on the bills... we need to root for Buffalo to lose.. the more separation the better for us..

Buffalo going to be pissed they lost to Miami, hope they take it out on TB. We don’t want the Bills totally falling apart, that would feed the narrative we haven’t beat any strong teams. Truth is, there are no strong teams this year, NFL has diluted the product too much.

You say this, and I get it's frustrating, but Otten had a career game yesterday, and they still lost.

If leaving TEs open is your biggest weakness...maybe it's not the worst thing in the world.

Yes, you made me realize this earlier in the season. I'm as fan.. have become one with it.. I get that we have weaknesses on D and playing zone allowing everything underneath to the TEs is as you mentioned likely the best damage mitigation. The red area is where is hurts us.

I don't know if Buffalo is good enough to beat them.

Buffalo have been the AFCE division leader since Brady left.. they are a good team, and have a future HOF qb. I'm always going to say you Preferably would want your division opponents to lose. We want things to be on our terms.. home playoff game and possibly a week 1 bye if we get the 1 seed..

EGBUKA is a dawg.. he put up over a 100 on us.. he'll have 200 on bills secondary..

Slight correction. They WERE a good team. They're just kind of average now due to cap constraints, bad drafting, average coaching.

Look at the Bills roster 1-53. It's not a strong roster. The Patriots roster is better.

And they could have Irving and Godwin back for that one.

Thier offensive line was regarded behind the eagles as top 5.. Cook hasn't been getting the rushing lanes he was last season.. teams are hunting him.. so more pressure is being put on thier OL.. I said this during the offseason that the bills roster wasn't better than ours..

I'm happy we missed out on those guys playing..

We should know.. gonzo was out what 7 weeks? Boutte will likely miss another game or 2?..

Speaking of Kayshon Boutte I would scratch him and Rham Thursday night ... that would give them even more needed rest. Get em ready for the Bengals because that will be a shootout either way.

 

[n1997y]

Doesn’t look like he had much separation. Just enough.

 

[PatsFan2]

That week 6 Pop almost had 150 when they called that Big play back.

Rham have turf toe.. tough injury.. I don't think we are seeing rham anytime soon.. Boutte is would say at least 2 more games.. we are going to need to have a lucky charm hopefully no injuries..

Both Rham amd Boutte may be out until after the bye. I’m okay if that means they’re reliable down the stretch.

Boutte is one more game.

For RB especially turf toe can be a career ender.. I'd be more optimistic on Boutte than rham..

Rest and treatment is a godsend for an NFL player trying to make it through a season.
