"We're gonna see how he is these first two days," Bills head coach Doug Marrone said on Monday. "They're working him out and seeing if we can get him back on that field. I think from there, then we'll be able to progress and see where he's at." Edited September 19, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I can't wait for this game. I was eagerly anticipating the Miami game but this one has the makings of a come from behind dogfight for us; a real galvanizing game. I'd like us to not only win but have to really dig deep and win on the final drive in order to establish a mentality of anything is possible.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 What’s Gone Right With the Bills? Amid what might have been the worst week in NFL history, the one fan base that actually had something to cheer about heading into Sunday was in Buffalo. @WGR550 Buffalo Bills' GM Doug Whaley on WGR Whaley on EJ: "Another encouraging game. He protected the ball." Whaley on Seantrel Henderson: "We're very excited. We always knew the guy had talent." Whaley said Henderson has turned things around off the field. "We found out by talking to this guy that he truly loved the game of football" Whaley on Watkins: "We are more impressed with his approach to being a professional off the field" "After this game, people are going to take notice. He is going to get more double coverage" @buffalobills Whaley on @chargers QB Rivers and TE Gates: "They're like Michael Jordan: I don't know if you can stop them, but you hope to contain them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 9-16: DOUG WHALEY ON WGR <14:31> interesting interview. I took away from it that he never saw Stevie as a #1 WR and that Stevie was not one who bought into the new coaching staff. never mentioned Stevie but between the lines.

We haven't had anything close to a #1 WR since the heyday of Eric Moulds IMO. Old School! @TheJoeMarino #Chargers K Nick Novack has only had 1 touchback in his 11 kickoffs. Opportunities will be there for the #Bills to return kicks on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still very early in the 2014 season, but the new talent that Buffalo’s personnel department has brought to the roster this season has had significant impact in the team’s first two games.

Webster Guy Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Gates looked slow and pudgy in the first game. I think Seattle is overrated anyway. (great at home, average on the road). I worry more about Keenan Allen than anyone. He can get open against anyone and Rivers can make all the throws. mathews is hurt, They will be in unfavorable down and distances in the rockin ralph just like Miami was. Waves of fresh Buffalo pass rushers plus our 3 amigos graham gilmore mckelvin frustrating their receivers, I expect a beatdown on the bolts and a message to the rest of the league.

He is really talented and can make the impossible catch as well. The key, again, as it was with Cutler will be be putting pressure on Rivers to make less than perfect throws or decisions and to make them one-dimensional. As with Cutler I don't think you can expect to shut down their offense like we did with Tannehill but hopefully contain it and find a way to score at least 1 more point.

As with Cutler I don't think you can expect to shut down their offense like we did with Tannehill but hopefully contain it and find a way to score at least 1 more point. I think Gilmore matches up really well with Allen. Gilmore plays his best football against big WRs, so I'm looking for that matchup if I'm Buffalo. As for SD's OL, the trio of Troutman-Ohrnberger-Rinehart are vulnerable up the middle, and King Dunlap is a bit banged up at LT (and not really built to match up against a speed rusher like Jerry Hughes). I think we can pressure them. Corey Graham needs to be the guy that takes on Antonio Gates if we want any chance at containing him. If there is any potential mismatch here, it's Buffalo's running game against SD's run D. They have been very weak (from what I've seen) at flowing to the football, and are missing a LOT of tackles once they do get there. The one guy in their front 7 that is a rock is Donald Butler, but Melvin Ingram and Jeremiah Attaochu can bring the heat from the outside as well.

Dorkington Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 It's based on stats/metrics that are very wobbly early in the season. Chargers give up 5.6 yards per carry... this could work well for us, as long as we can actually open up some holes for our RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
