Five Takes: Will battered Bills fill the void? Can Brady’s offense ignite the fuse? Prediction and more

‘If Cook cannot play, that would leave Ty Johnson and Ray Davis as the two running backs in line to assume his workload. Johnson would likely be the lead back, as Davis finished last week’s game against the Texans without a carry. If Shakir is absent on Monday night, that would once again put the Buffalo passing game in a precarious position as it hopes to find its footing following a rough start to the year. Buffalo called up WR Tyrell Shavers from the practice squad this past week against Houston, and would likely do so again this week if Shakir is to miss his second straight game.’

Hamlin’s ’24 impact transcends shocking Monday night moment

‘”I won’t lie, Monday nights are a little bit more meaningful to me, but I’m so deep into my process that maybe when it’s all said and done and I’m back reflecting and I’m doing whatever I’m doing after I’m done playing, and watching ‘Monday Night Football’ [will] probably be a lot more special to me,” Hamlin said.’

Opinion: Simon: Bills-Jets Preview

‘The last two games, while averaging a measly 15 points, Allen has completed just 43% of his passes for a total of 280 yards and one touchdown. It’s a combination of factors that has taken a once high octane passing game and made it look feeble of late. Receivers aren’t getting open. Allen has missed on a number of throws including deep balls when his target had a step on the defender. The line has had some hiccups leading to Allen getting flushed from the pocket and throwing on the run.’

Opinion: Capaccio: Bills at Jets: Sal’s keys, notes and stats

‘The Jets fired their head coach, Robert Saleh, this week. Usually when that happens, a team gets a bit of a bump in their play. Maybe from an energy boost. Maybe because they’re paying more attention to detail. Maybe they’re more accountable that next week. Whatever the reason, the Bills can’t get caught up in the Jets emotion and need to match their energy from the start of the game. Take the crowd and emotion out of the game early, and don’t give New York any hope.’
