I’ll admit it—for much of the year, I’ve prewritten the Buffalo Bills list of inactives well in advance of them actually announcing it. Thanks in part to good health and (sometimes maddening) consistency on the part of the coaching staff, it’s made this gig far easier than it’s been in years past.
Today, however, is different. With a measure of uncertainty surrounding the lineup given the fact that today’s game against the New York Jets means nothing in terms of Buffalo’s already-decided playoff seeding, a prewrite was impossible. I even tried to guess, but I was nowhere close.
