Rest everyone and tell John to put the team on his back. Hollins, Cooper, Samuel and Coleman all likely out.

Elevate Shavers and Virgil.

Run Shakir, Shavers, Virgil, Johnson as your 4. Run heavy sets with Knox and Kincaid and let Cook and Davis run wild.

I fully expect Hollins and Samuel to play. Hollins has been wearing a non-contact jersey in practice and playing in games for weeks. Samuel gutted it out last week. I expect him to do it again this week.

At this point, Bills should just hire their own wrist specialist and keep them around the rest of the year.
I'd guess: Coleman out for sure. Maybe Cooper can go with a few more days to heal.

Could be a big Ray Ray Davis day!

It could be an ugly 17/13-10 kind of game against Indy. They need to find a way to win and avoid additional injuries heading into the KC game. It's tough with the bye following that game because as much as they want to beat KC having the bye after may be reason to keep iffy guys out of the game so they are closer to 100% following the bye instead of potentially reaggravating the injury versus KC.

Indy only scores 10 if Taylor doesn't run all over our D. And we can't count on AR missing open WRs by 10 yards, either.

Indy's pass defense is going to be a PROBLEM if Cooper and Coleman are both out, and given that Samuel is quite hobbled. Kenny Moore is almost as good as Taron Johnson at covering slot guys, so if he gets locked up with Shakir.......that's a tough matchup. If Zaire Franklin plays (looking likely), he's a tough matchup for Kincaid. So if we're relying on a bunch of WRs that will take time to get open.....Indy's D-line can rush the passer, big time.

That said, Indy's defense is Swiss cheese against the run. Like, really bad. It wouldn't shock me that as long as we don't get down big early, our game plan is 60-70% rushes.

So much for the go for 2 pts at end of regulation crowd. Not saying it's wrong or better than settling for O.T. but not always the right decision either.

55 fantasy pts for Chase, incredible!

Refs are just not a Bill's problem, they put the whistle away at the end and missed many calls.

They missed 3rd/4th and short over and over in the second half. Shouldn't have risked it when your team can't convert all quarter.

How can you say that? Did you not see both penalties committed on Cincinnati they refused to call? The league clearly wanted the ravens to win.

"The league" did not cause the refs to call things one way or the other.

Did "the league" want Miami to win when the refs called the bogus PF on Rapp and the bogus holding calls on Dawkins and Torrence?

Or, did "the league" want Buffalo to win with the PF on Poyer that gave the Bills the shot at the game winning FG?



This week's episode of The Bruce Exclusive talks to this well, IMO.

Genuinely feel for the Bengals. Burrow, Chase, Hendrickson have been playing out of their minds but they sit with a 4-6 record and have gotten f***ed over by some really egregious calls. Last night's game and the Chiefs game as well are pretty big examples, also feels like the opposition has free reign to do whatever they want to Burrow with him getting facemasked repeatedly. Their OL does suck though and Taylor has made some poor coaching decisions but still they deserve better.
