How will Bills defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz script his game plan based off the tape from Sunday night? And can the Bills' second-level defenders in base and sub-package personnel close the middle of the field?

...

This is a situation where Schwartz might have to bring a fifth defensive back into the game to carry those inside seam routes.

The above is why I think you'll see a lot of man coverage on the outside and zone in the middle 1/3.

 

If the inside defenders know they don't have help from the boundary corners, they can play their inside/outside techniques a bit more aggressively. A lot of the D this week will depend on the underneath LBs getting good depth on their drops.

 

I really, really hope that (a) Nigel Bradham can play, and (b) they don't take him out of the game on 3rd downs in favor of Preston freaking Brown like they did against SD.

Inside Edge: Patriots-Bills

ESPN NFL Insider Mike Sando delivers stats to help you make a pick for New England at Buffalo.

 

Patriots vs. Bills preview

It's always a big week in Western New York when the New England Patriots come to town.

 

But if squaring off with a division rival wasn't enough, the Buffalo Bills received an extra boost Wednesday when Terry and Kim Pegula were approved as the next owners of the franchise. Officially closing a summer-long sales process, the vote virtually ended any doubts about the team's future in the region.

 

With an amped-up crowd behind them, the Bills (3-2) will have a chance to pull ahead in the AFC East against the Patriots (3-2) in Buffalo's first game of the Pegula era.

 

It's a game that has the Patriots' attention as well.

 

"If you love football," Tom Brady said, "then one o’clock Sunday in Orchard Park is where you want to be."

 

ESPN Bills reporter Mike Rodak and ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss break it all down:

I thought this was a good breakdown of the Bills' strengths and weaknesses. Interestingly, Bruschi, despite the fact that our O-Line is one of the 3 biggest in the league, sees them using a "wall-off" and not "plow you over" type of running scheme. I still think the spread is the way to go if you want to unleash Spiller but Marrone and Hackett seem to have made up their mind with these inside runs.

NFL Week 6 Elo Ratings And Playoff Odds

It was a week of fantastic finishes in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills beat the Detroit Lions on a 58-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter just moments after Lions’ kicker Alex Henery shanked his third field goal attempt of the game. The Cleveland Browns came back from a 28-3 deficit to beat the Tennessee Titans, the largest comeback in the history of the franchise. Two other games were decided in overtime.

 

The reaction to all this from our NFL Elo ratings? Meh.

Lest we be too quick to judge, there is a Bills fan out there somewhere with OJ's mugshot tattooed to his leg...

 

Hmmm, leg vs. entire scalp. easy to hide vs difficult to hide.
