Week 14: Jets Game Preparation - Inactives Announced


Recommended Posts

 

The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets will wrap their season series on Sunday at New Era Field.

 

The two franchises have a long history between each other, but one storyline will be brought out for the first time.

 

With that, here’s five storylines to watch on Sunday when the Bills host the Jets:

 

Allen vs. Darnold

So long, Kelvin

Levi Wallace part 2

Bye-bye Bowles?

Defensive rebound?

There is.

 

The Colts just randomly added Daurice Fountain onto their main roster from the practice squad. Maybe we were sniffing around. 

 

I still think we should add Troy Niklas as we are short on tight ends. Perhaps we can unlock some of that potential.

NFL Week 14 game picks

By Elliot Harrison

Buffalo Bills 20, New York Jets 9

1 p.m. ET (CBS) | New Era Field (Orchard Park, N.Y.)

 

One of the few games this weekend that are relatively meaningless. Draft positioning will dominate all the discussion with these two teams going forward, though we know that no real fans will be rooting for their precious Jets or Bills to lose. Yeaaaaaaah, maybe that isn't a totally accurate statement. Sam Darnold appears poised to return for this game, but those Buffalo fans will definitely make life miserable for Darnold (or Josh McCown, if Darnold's foot acts up again), as will the Bills' front seven. The Buffalo defense gave up 175 total yards in Miami last week. If the Jets are to sneak in a road win here and end their six-game losing streak, they must re-script their red-zone plays. Blow up what they've been doing. Do a 180. That overlooked area of pro football cost them a win last week in Tennessee -- and, from a macro view, the Jets are the worst offense in the NFL inside the 20.

ESPN Nation and Expert Picks:

Jets (3-9) at Bills (4-8): 1 p.m. ET, CBS

Point spread: BUF -3.5 Matchup quality: 14.4 (of 100)
 
Rich Cimini's pick: This is a bad matchup for the Jets. Sam Darnold is coming off a one-month layoff, which means he'll be rusty in the first cold-weather game of his life. Buffalo's zone-based defense will cause problems for the Jets, who have only three offensive touchdowns in the past five games. Bills 23, Jets 12
 
Mike Rodak's pick: The Bills are favored by Vegas for the first time this season, and for good reason: They walloped the Jets 41-10 with fill-in quarterback Matt Barkley last month at MetLife Stadium. I would expect some regression by Josh Allen, whose 83.6 Total QBR in his two games since returning from an elbow injury has exceeded his 53.0 mark for the season. But the opportunity still exists for Allen to have another big game against a Jets defense that has given up an NFL-worst 450.7 yards per game since (and including) its loss to Buffalo. Bills 26, Jets 20
 
FPI win projection: BUF, 71.5 percent. After being favored just once in their first 12 games of the season, the Bills are favored in three of their final four games by FPI, with a 71.5 percent chance to win against the Jets on Sunday. That is the largest favorite the Bills have been since Week 1 of last season, when they were 75 percent favorites, also against the Jets.

All these picks mean we will lay an egg. Jersey Jets will be playing for their coach.

I would love if they both came back as they're still effective in their starting roles and their veteran leadership is invaluable with the younger players like Phillips, Lawson, Milano, and Edmunds.  I think Alexander definitely comes back and Kyle Williams is 50/50 at this point.

Everyone makes a big deal of Allen's completion percentage. But does completing longer plays make that stat less important? I mean you can make three short passes for 15 yards or go 1 for 3 and the one you hit is for 20. Which would you prefer?

It's important to sustain drives and keep the chains moving in addition to having big play capability.  It's not a proposition or preference of one or the other.  Both are necessary.

Yeah, but to his point, if you hit 50% of your throws and they are for decent yardage the chains still move.

You can't really say that in a vacuum and stats alone wouldn't tell that story as every game will have different situations.

Got me swingin'. I don't think any of them have even watched a Bills game this year. Unless they did and it was one of the blowouts?
