Buffalo Bills vs Atlanta Falcons
January 2, 2022
Highmark Stadium, 1pm eastern

The game is on Fox this week.

All the information you need if you are attending a Bills game!

 

Go Bills!

Last week means nothing without a win this week. The Bills are heavily favored, but they have not exactly been spectacular at home.

A blast from the past...

  Hopefully, McDermott has been in everybody's ear starting yesterday morning about emotional letdowns among other things.  That it is win and in.

I've watched the Patriot game on rewind twice already. Will probably watch it 5 more times before Sunday.

Only watched it once so far, specifically to key in on Harrison Phillips and Spencer Brown.  Will probably watch it again tonight, for Onalim and Isaiah McKenzie.

 

And as a side note: if Isaiah McKenzie and Harrison Phillips are ever on the injury report as "day to day" at the same time, I am going to make so many "Schneider" jokes.

Horrible Harry has come a long way. He was instrumental in what we were able to do last Sunday. He has been playing very well the last month, month and a half. I see why the coaching staff started him over Star, he has been that good.

 

My next watch will probably focus this next watch on Jackson and the right side of the Oline. I'm thinking Jackson has done an admirable job in place of Tre'.

While I know they say that game play doesn't spread the virus, after playing the 'rona infested Judon last week, this would be amazing.

I'm a big Beasley fan. While I can't be sure, it does seem like he has not been healthy for a good part of the season. If we have to use him sparingly to be fresh for post-season play, with the way McKenzie stepped up Sunday, I'm all for that.

[johtaf]

Beasley could be battling health issues but I know he’s getting up there in age to. 32 isn’t young for an NFL receiver. But he can come off the bench and contribute for sure

Check this out. Do you guys think E. Sanders is bitching because he was open and Allen didn’t find him?

He waved his arms afterwards in a "I was open, too" kinda way. After Sanders dropped an earlier touchdown, it seems Josh just went with the closer target.

[johtaf]

I don’t think that was appropriate for Sanders to do that if that was the case, especially after he dropped a TD pass earlier in the game

I dunno. If you do the stop start thing, I don't think Josh was even looking at Sanders when he gave his first shoulder shrug. Hard to tell because Josh drops off the screen just before but he definitely wasn't looking his direction just prior. And his immediate following second shrug looked like he was jawing at Judon who was complaining about who knows what there.
