Week 8: Raiders' Game Preparation - Inactives Announced


Recommended Posts

they were a lousy team until last year, so thos stats are kind of meaningless.

All I'm saying is this will be another close game, especially if Poyer and Gaines aren't able to play.

Let's also not forget we went into their building last year, at a time where their O and D were both playing amazing and if not for an epic defensive meltdown,beat them pretty handily.

 

I think our O is a huge matchup issue and they have clearly taken a step back on both O and D. Although they did just have a great offensive performance, they have been super into this year and are coming to our building.

 

Definitely should be a close one, but I think we have the overall advantage.

Next up for #Bills suddenly vulnerable pass D, a QB who threw for 400 yards last week.

Not practicing: Richie Incognito, Ramon Humber, E.J. Gaines, Charles Clay, Jordan Poyer.


@JoeBuscaglia

S Jordan Poyer is not participating in practice today. Same story with CB EJ Gaines and LG Richie Incognito. #Bills


@SalSports

Gaines and Poyer (and Humber) working on exercise bikes. Not involved in individual position drills.


@AustinGayle_PFF

#Raiders W8 Chalk Talk: #Bills' T. Taylor ranks T-No 9 in deep pass attempts and deep pass accuracy %. OAK must defend the deep ball.


#Raiders W8 Chalk Talk: #Bills' T. Taylor ranks No. 4 in accuracy % while under pressure. He's completed 27 of 49 passes for 424 yards.

 

@JonScottTV

No Richie Incognito and EJ Gaines during media portion of #Bills practice today. Jordan Poyer out there, but working w/ trainer off to side.

I am worried about the weather.

 

Big myth that rain slows down offenses. Unless it is a torrential downpour where the QB cant even hold a slick ball (the NFL has come a long way in the keeping the balls dry department), the poor field conditions due to rain is a huge benefit to offenses. It is tough for CBs to match WRs breaks, often leading to blown coverages. It is tough for linebackers to be as fast filling holes/getting to the ball carrier because of the same footing issues.

 

Add onto that the increased potential to injure or re-aggravate an injury, something our defense cannot afford, and this weather forecast has potential to really help Oakland.

 

Let's hope the winds shift and brings sunny skies to OP on Sunday. [/quote/

And the Bills offense won't benefit from the bad weather ?

Only Oakland ? If anything I hope will be running the ball for over 200 yards

We weren't leaky before injuries hit.

 

?? Are you referring to the Bucs game?? The secondary was leaky all game...first drive we gave up passing plays of 21 yards, 10, 11, 11...second drive 9, 14, 14, 20....third drive 7, 19, TO....it goes on and gets worse after Gaines goes down. We have been lit up for two straight weeks, we have a leaky pass D right now and it is OK to admit that

 

It is obvious we give up passing yards, thats kind of what our D is based on....bend but dont break and get TOs...it is also obvious the Raiders will attempt to beat us via the pass - regardless of who lines up in our secondary

Interesting, I guess, but what are we supposed to conclude from this? If we consistently score points on our possessions that aren't the result of turnovers, does this really matter?

McDermott has mentioned several times lately that we need to do a better job at scoring off of turnovers...its no secret. We have lost games/let games be closer than they should by not turning TO's into points

Quite obviously they need to take better advantage of any opportunities created by turnovers as mentioned several times by the Head Coach.
