We can hope the Buffalo team that showed up against the Jets will play us tomorrow. Otherwise it could be a tough one. Buffalo is a good team.

Exactly, we lost key pieces on the defense. Guys who understood the gameplan and communication.

They are back this week.

We keep using players the known very well the gameplan, communication but the defense cant stop anyone
We have just one key piece today, it's Vance Joseph
Obviously is the wrong key

Thats why he will be tested pre game, as the tweet mentions

I said fully recovered which isn’t the case if it’s a game time decision. I guess we’ll see but I don’t like the idea of it with a division matchup on Thursday.

Yes and this staff doesn't rush players if they are not enough healthy to play, so I trust them on this

But if u expect players being 100% healthy at game day, then there would be 30players out in every game

Wow, what a game.

It was something else.

It hurts, but sometimes you just have to tip your cap. And 7-3 going into a bye week is enough of a cushion that I can appreciate what we just saw without wanting to crawl into a hole and die.

Both of the football teams I watched today can make some real noise this year.

Good luck with the rest of your season friends, and I am so grateful we don't see Hopkins for a while.

Classy move on your part to come back and post after such a devastating loss.

Your Bills will have a lot to say in the AFC.

Appreciated - one good thing to pull out of this - if the Bills find themselves up late on wild card weekend, I am overwhelmingly confident that they will have used today as a learning moment, and won't let it happen again.

I'd rather see our best vs their best. The 'normal' injuries are part of the game and I accept those subtractions from a roster---that's where the GM/coaches have to assemble a roster of good players and their replacements.

I don't like one team getting decimated with several starters out due to Covid-19. Looks like 'community spread' with all the affected from the defensive backfield.

At what point is the game called?

Would the league institute an option for the 'well' team to sit the equivalent starters to those out on the 'sick' team. If they lose their #1 Corner, we sit our #1 Corner.

How much at risk will the Card players be with a team showing up with this many starters out? I'd rather call the game than see our roster exposed and we end up playing with our backups.

EVERY team faces the same thing, and if you have a bunch of undisciplined boneheads, why should the other team be penalized ?
.that is just ludicrous...

He's so quietly good, and refined. Hes been battling the injury bug all year, hopefully the bye week does him good.

And sorry about that other Bills fan, who made that other thread. We aren't all like that.
@WisconsinCard and I went to Buffalo 4 years ago, when you guys beat us, and we were welcomed and treated as if we were part of the bills mafia. You guys have a great fan base and tough community that cares. Can’t say that about too many nfl teams
