Dan Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Week 11: New York Jets at Buffalo Bills Sunday, November 17, 2013 at 1:00pm TV Network: CBS (TV Map) Announcers: Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts DirecTV: 704 Bills Radio: On the call: John Murphy (play by play), Mark Kelso (analyst), Joe Buscaglia (sideline) Flagship: Buffalo – WGR550 (550AM); Toronto - Sportsnet 590 The Fan; Rochester - WCMF (96.5) and WROC (950AM); Syracuse - WTKW (99.5/WTKV 105.5) Sirius: 108 ================================================================= Game Preview: Projected by many to finish near the bottom of the AFC, New York (5-4) has instead managed to hold its own. After watching several contending teams lose last weekend, the Jets come out of their bye with a one-game lead for the second wild-card spot. The Jets have to be feeling good about posting back-to-back wins given their recent domination of the Bills (3-7). New York, which won 27-20 on Sept. 22 behind Smith's season-high 331 passing yards and three total TDs, have averaged 29.3 points in taking seven of eight from Buffalo.

My Take on the Matchup: Well, here we go again. Another week with an opponent that, at least on paper, we match up well against. So why do I feel like we're going to get crushed? Oh yeah, because the Jets have mostly dominated the Bills during the last few years. And after last week's abysmal performance, it's just hard to imagine anything different. EJ has gotten a lot of criticism after his game last week, and rightfully so. Hence, for me, he is my key to this week's game. It's all about EJ. How will he bounce back? Will he respond to the critics with fire or ice? Will he somehow throw better in colder, wetter conditions (assuming there's rain)? Can he lead this team to a divisional win against a team that thinks they're making a playoff run? In all likelihood, this game should be one to favor the running backs. CJ is probably itching to get out there and atone for his lackluster game, as well. However, you can expect Rex to throw everything he has at stopping Freddie and CJ. So, EJ is going to have his chances; he has to capitalize. Do that and our offense has a chance. Otherwise, it's could be another long day. So, what will be watching? 1. EJ. Is he the QB of the future? Lay another egg like last week, and it's gonna be hard for this fan to continue with that hope. 2. EJ. Can he throw the ball down the field? Will he ever keep a deep, side line pass in bounds? 3. Marrone and his fun bunch. This is the second time facing a divisional team. Will they have the team prepared? Did they learn anything the first time? Anything at all this season? We need to see adjustments in the game plan and situational game adjustments. Is this the same old Bills or do we finally have a coach doing something to get the win? 4. Ed Reed. If Bills' history serves as a precursor, he'll play like the Ed Reed of old, have all the pundits claim he's back, only to suck the rest of the year and retire. 5. EJ. Can he handle the blitz by doing more than checking down? Go Bills!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) @BryanShaw4 The weather will absolutely be a factor for today's #Bills game. Gusts around 40-45 mph. #WNY #Weather Edited November 17, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 these 2 teams do match up well statistically. the NYETS so far are 1-3 on the road. Lets keep that pattern going. The odds are low but they only way to get to the dance is for the Bills to think every game is an elimination of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice job on this, Dan. Sad but true re your 4th comment. I expect reed to have a career day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Will be leaving for the stadium shortly. The rain has stopped, but the wiinds are gusty - about 57 degrees right now, should be in the 60's at game time. My prognostication for this blustery afternoon... New York State's only NFL team pounds the GangGreen all the way back to New Jersey... Buffalo Bills - 46 New Jersey Jets - 0 See you at The Ralph... GO BILLSSS!!!! 13 and 7 baby!!!!!

KD in CA Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Great preview, thanks. 2. EJ. Can he throw the ball down the field? Will he ever keep a deep, side line pass in bounds? Hopefully the coaches will let him throw downfield somewhere other than the sideline. 4. Ed Reed. If Bills' history serves as a precursor, he'll play like the Ed Reed of old, have all the pundits claim he's back, only to suck the rest of the year and retire. I wish I could bet money on this it's so likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 EJ needs to run today. The Jets get aggressive with their rush and man up on the WRs. He'll have plenty of space to run if he chooses to do so. Do it enough times and it will start to slow that pass rush down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 This is the most pessimistic I've been going into a game this season. Hopefully our defense shows up, Marrone/Hackett pull their heads out of their asses, and EJ settles down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
