ChanOverChin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The loss to the Jets was ugly. There are no gimmes in the NFL. The Bills played uninspired football and had a no. of things go against them right from the start, which just continued to snowball. Now the Bills have a week and a half to heal up, get several key players back, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for a dynamic New Orleans team at home in Buffalo, which is where they play their best. Not to make excuses but the Bills were without the likes of TE C. Clay, TE EJ Gaines, WR B. Tate, and WR K. Benjamin. All will likely be on the field vs New Orleans. I thought LB Humber was rusty. Hopefully, he will play better. I think the Bills need to stick to their quick, short passing game rather than force Taylor to hold the ball in the pocket, which is not his strength. They have to get the running game going so that Taylor is not a sitting duck. We could certainly use another good RB to throw into the mix with McCoy. If the Bills can beat the Saints I think that it will more than make up for the their loss to NYJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaviorPeterman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 They can but it won't be easy. Saints likely going to be riding 6 game winning streak heading into Buffalo and they aren't close to the teams we've beat at home so far who are all sub .500 at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Hix Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Brees is going to destroy this D. McCown had all day to throw and when the same thing happens to Brees it is going to be even uglier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Smith Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 To me the defense gives up a lot of yards when Gaines is out of the lineup, he certainly makes a difference to the success of this D. I expect the team to come back next week renewed and retooled and play lights out here on out. I've seen enough progression from key players to believe we can make a serious push, especially with Clay, Gaines and Benjamin in the folds we can be unstoppable.

ChanOverChin Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think Gaines is a big key to our defense. He's a lot better CB than is Wright. I'm anxious to see Taylor/Benjamin/Matthews/Clay/McCoy on the field at the same time. There's some real talent there. Even if Benjamin doesn't catch a lot of balls he should command a double team, which will make things easier for everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 A win against the Saints eases this loss. If the Bills can shut down Brees then the Jets game will look like a bump in the road. If the Saints detroy the Bills I think the Bills will be looked at as the team most people thought they would be before the season started.

zow2 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) All the team goals are still in front of them. No reason they cant beat NO and have a good second half. Just spare me the we are getting back to work we work hard, talk from the players and coaches, etc... ALL NFL teams work hard. They all try to win. I dont care about team talk, just show it on the field and win. Edited November 3, 2017 by zow2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasBillsFan1 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Sure, who wouldn't want a win against NO ... but, last I knew they were NFC. AFC wins have more weight. Jets had a short week also ... they were ready and executed, Bills were not and did not. This is that ONE game that will come back to haunt them.

Kelvin will be ready and the offense will look different with him, than what past game tape shows. the bills win comfortably One WR will be completely shut down so whoever Lattimore is covering say goodbye to him. Guess tou havent watch the Saints currently sitting at 16th overall in DVOA with -4.4 DVOA. Bills defense sitting at 10 with -7.7. Now how they match up against our strength is not good. Their rush rank is 29th. Look for a similar gameplan load the box. Try not to let Shady beat you and dare Taylor to out duel Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 We played a poor game. 4 days prior we played a good game. The saints are good, but I have confidence we win at home.

CommonCents Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Getting Clay and Gaines back to practice early next week would be a huge step towards a victory over NO. Lattimore is playing great right now, another receiving threat like Clay will make life easier on Tyrod and Shady. The zone coverage has looked awesome with Gaines on the field and pathetic when he is off it. Is he that good? I don't know. Maybe it's just the communication or that Shareece Wright is CFL level talent but it's been night and day with/without Gaines.
