Rubber to meet the road - BlackCatzFan - 10-20-2025
The next couple of games is where we should be able to gage where we actually are in the NFL, we got Bills (I see a loss, but optimistic) Packers, saints, then 49ers.
Saints are the only team I’m not too worried about, but the other 3 games are against potential playoff teams. It’ll be interesting to see how we stack up. These are the games that will convince me as to who we are.

We better have a better game plan than we had yesterday. Thirteen points isn't going to cut it against any of those teams. And I know that we have a huge contract with Chuba Hubbard, but Rico showed yesterday that he is the better choice at running back.
Speaking of "Rubber hitting the Road", is it possible to trade Chuba before the trade deadline on November 4th?

Now there’s an idea!
But I’d expect if Rico can’t hold up, then there’d be concern who’s after him.
I see the next 4 games a very realistic and possible 1-3, if I keep my emotions out of it. I can also see 3-1

Word on the street is the Buffalo run defense isn’t as bad as Cowboys, but it isn’t good either.
Please return to Rico being the main running back.
I hope Bryce is back and healthy. If he’s not 100% , don’t play him. He needs his wheels to be as good as he can be. He needs to play in meaningful games. But he’s not so good he can get by at less than 100%.
Will we continue the 4-3 defense ? I know the jets suck, but they couldn’t protect the Quarterback against our rush . ( we haven’t said that in years.
Play Rico !!!

Not with that contract and remember Dowdle does not have a contract for next year.

Not counting on Bryce. He was immediately taken to the locker room, never came out, and is now wearing a boot.
Buffalo looked like a mess the last 2 games but have had their bye to get things right.
D has got to be great. We can't give up turnovers. And with a week to prepare....hope Andy can find a little magic.
