Ed Oliver OUT Sunday

[Big Blitz]

 

DFS Stevenson

[oldmanfan]

Not good

[Gregg]

No surprise as he wasn't practicing the past 2 days. Hopefully he can be ready by Thursday for Tampa Bay.

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

we ready for another game like the one here 2 years ago where they passed 3 times cause they could run whenever they wanted to?

[White Linen]

Crap.  He would have help put Jones on skates.

At least Damien Harris won’t rip off a long td run for the pats

This is going to be one of those games where its 3:00 in the afternoon and the Bills - Pats game is already in the 4th quarter.

[Goin Breakdown]

DJones out for the season, at least we still have Ed.......ohh wait. Dang

[BigDingus]

This is reminding me of last year again... Multiple key defensive players out every game 😓

 

Just can't catch a break. 

[uninja]

We'll be down to Philips, Settle, Ford and Vickers on the interior.

 

Williams is Bernard are good run defenders and our edges can set the edge decently well, at least Lawson and Epenesa do. Taron is also good in run situations.

 

Their passing game is limited, if we can shut down the run this game is over.

AJE does NOT set the edge well. Groot does

 

one or two injuries to interior DL and we may be in trouble 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

We’re finding out about a lot of players on defense, that’s for sure. Depth tested.

Actually, AJE is notorious for not being good at setting the edge.

Someone should be fired.

ED has a toe and Milano had surgery YESTERDAY, REAL football players would be on the field.

[Logic]

Here's the good news: New England is actually NOT that good at running the ball this year. They are ranked 26th in rushing yards per game.

The best defense for the Bills this Sunday will be a good offense. Get off to a fast start (no small ask for this team lately), score early and often, and take the running game out of the equation.

Oh, and the Thursday night opponent, the Bucs? 28th ranked in rushing yards per game.

It won't surprise me if Ed misses that one, too, and they focus on getting him right for the long haul.

Allen and company will score more than 30 points. Injuries or no injuries the Pats won't match the Bills score for score.

Our elite offense needs to get off the rollercoaster carry the weight.

Are we saying the Giants defense is better?  I just have zero confidence in predicting what the offense is going to look like on any given day.
