Anyone know te status of the Bills DE Matt Schobel for the game? I don't think he's played much the past couple of games and it would be nice to limit their pass rush.

If they don't have Seymour and Warren, they're going to have a tall task stopping Lynch. Buffalo will just pound them with the run.

Seymour has not practised all week and that means he has a very small chance of playing. Time for Jarvis Green and Mike Wright to step up again. Wright was in the backfield all day last week.

GO PATS and GO JEST'S

Hi Blair. I wouldn't go that far. Seymour is a veteran and he could certainly play without the practice time. I'm sure they were thinking 'Why put him out to practice when he can have more time to rest his back."

Hi Mike,

I made that comment based on the fact that if a player does not practice all week, they usually do not play. I certainly agree that Seymour is a vet that does not always need to practice and can step in and contribute. Rest is always good.

I just read your post that Seymour is not going to play. That is too bad because he has been a real force this year in stuffing the run and pressuring the quarterback.

I hope he gets another chance to play this year.

And Mike, stay away from Downtown Buffalo. If you are staying there, stay indoors !

Thanks for the continued conversation :)

Go PATS Go
