The only way this could have set up better for the Bills would be if the Falcons had won a convincing victory last Sunday. I don't like playing teams coming off "close-calls." They have a fresh reminder to be diligent in preparation and energetic in their execution.

dulles Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Yarbrough has looked decent so far in his limited time. Plus you would think the $100 million dollar man in and Shaq out would still be a net positive for a defense. At least you would hope. Not even close to reality as we know. Shady literally should have had zero or negative rushing yards in the last game. He made chicken salad out of chicken you know what against Denver. Bills line has been allowing the least amount of yards gained before contact. Good news is Atlanta defense is giving up the third most yards per rush in the league at 4.8 I think the run game gets going this week. It will at least be a whole lot better than it was the last two weeks. Their rush D is bad and they are going to be missing more pieces on Sunday...hopefully Shady can get rolling.
Magox Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Both are out per Dan Quinn. Fantastic! I mean, I hope they get better and all with the concussion, but I'm glad it won't be this week! Edited September 29, 2017 by Magox
26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Posted September 29, 2017 Falcons rule out three starters for Sunday’s game FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – The Falcons will be without five players -- three of whom are starters -- on Sunday when they take on the Buffalo Bills (2-1) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ryan Schraeder (concussion), Ricardo Allen (concussion), Vic Beasley (hamstring), Courtney Upshaw (ankle/knee) and Terron Ward (neck/shoulder) have all been ruled out. Ty Sambrailo will fill in for Schraeder at right tackle as he has the previous two games. Atlanta’s first-round draft pick, Takkarist McKinley, will take Beasley’s place again. McKinley recorded his first career sack and played over 50 snaps at defensive end during the 30-26 win over the Lions in Week 3. Rookie Damontae Kazee will fill in for Allen at free safety, earning his first career start.

D521646 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 The key, quite frankly is McCoy. If he gets going, the game will be close if not in our favor, if he doesn't, then we're simply not good enough to beat this team with TT's arm. Tim-

HappyDays Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Great, the Tyrod haters are already lining up their excuses for why beating the Falcons really didn't prove anything... Their defense is below average even without the injuries. Beasley did lead the league in sacks last year so that's a huge loss for them. The other injuries shouldn't affect things much. If we can't run the ball on Atlanta that means we have serious problems because their run defense isn't good even before the injuries. On defense we need to get a pass rush going so IMO Schraeder being out is the biggest loss for them. If it turns into a pass happy shootout we'll be happy Beasley is gone for sure.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Something useful from Rodak As the Bills stretched at Friday's practice, they played Atlanta's "Rise Up" theme song with Samuel L. Jackson over the speakers, as well as "11 Birds" by Migos, which is about Julio Jones and the Falcons. It is not unusual for the Bills to play opponent-themed music at Friday practices before road games, as both a motivational tool and a simulation of what they'll hear in the road venue. TIL.
