It's back home for the Bills this weekend for the first time in three weeks. And it's the red-hot Tennessee Titans coming to town, winners of three in a row. 

 

Bills Today: What this Tennessee All-Pro thinks about the Bills offense

Matchup watch

Titans CBs vs. Bills WRs. It looks like a mismatch. The Titans have one of the best three-man cornerback groups in the league in long, strong Logan Ryan, fast Adoree' Jackson and No. 3 Malcolm Butler. Look for Ryan, a former Patriot, to take Kelvin Benjamin. Butler was the Super Bowl hero for the Pats in 2015 and then was benched by Bill Belichick for the entire Super Bowl loss to the Eagles in a controversial move that has yet to be explained. Vrabel undoubtedly got the real story from his connections in New England and the Titans signed Butler to a $12 million-a-year deal. Butler is good. But he has been beaten on a deep TD three of the last four games.

(Here's Butler slow to react on a 50-yard TD to ex-Bill Jordan Matthews out of what looks like Cover 4.)

Video Preview: Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans

The Bills look to bounce back at home against the Titans

 

Will the Bills be able to score?

After the shutout in Green Bay, the Bills now rank 31st in the NFL in scoring. On the other sideline, the Titans have allowed the 7th fewest points in the league. It appears that former New England Patriots player and coach, and rookie Titans head coach, Mike Vrabel has his defense humming.

Can the offensive line get it together?

The Bills’ offensive line is ranked 32nd in the league after their week four debacle. The coaches have only made one change to the line this season. They replaced Ryan Groy with Russell Bodine as the starting center in the lead up to the game against the Minnesota Vikings. Will they make any more changes after a brutal game in Green Bay?

 

Terrible offense has killed Bills during a mostly miserable first quarter of season

► Patience needed with Allen. He played a nice two quarters in Minnesota in helping guide the Bills to a 27-0 halftime lead. Otherwise, the No. 7 overall draft pick has looked every bit like the raw rookie quarterback he is. The worry with Allen was, and still is, his accuracy, and the Bills have to hope they can improve that through better coaching and drilling on his mechanics. Next Gen Stats calculates expected completion percentage (passes that should be completed) against actual completion percentage, and Allen is currently minus-7.5 percent, meaning rather than his current 53.4 percent rate, he should be at 60.9. Part of that is drops, but also his misfiring. Only Blaine Gabbert (minus-16.7) and Tyrod Taylor (minus-13.9) are worse.

Line has moved to Titans -5.5. Sharps guy on the radio says this is too high after watching the titans play and how they’ve gotten lucky with penalties etc. I think it says more about the perception of the Bills than it goes about Tenn.

I am definitely worried about Sunday and it has nothing to do with the Titans. If Josh has another bad game I am going to be very concerned we are back in QB purgatory. We need to see some development this week, he should be adjusted to the speed of the game now.

I don’t know why this keeps coming up. His accuracy has been solid, it the decision making that he needs to work on.

They may very well win, but an easy road win in buffalo doesn't happen very often unless you have tom Brady at qb

FWIW they are still crying about the Comeback in the Bills Week thread. Interesting how many Oilers fans stuck with the Titans even with Houston getting a new team.
