I think if DS returns they may have a chance with the titans 15th against (14th pass) the run? it would be great to chalk up another road win but with JA out I think their chances are pretty slim? Yes, like I'm pretty sure there's no way Barkley can win that Jets game from last year. It's in New York and we are 2-7, so we should probably go back and call that a loss, even though he tore apart their defense and we routed them..

If he continues to play like he did for us last year and yesterday I think we win the game on Sunday. You could also add that if McD hadn' t foolishly wasted timeouts, things would have been less desperate near the end and Barkley could have operated in a somewhat calmer manner. Or if Haus hadn't missed that FG, then the less-panicky goal would have been to play for the FG and take it to overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Titans are a better team given Allen’s performance yesterday. Not much better but Bills are up against it I think the cracks in your posts are starting to show... imo;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 On paper, it looks like it could be a carbon copy of the Pats*** game. I certainly look for the Titans to copy BB’s pressure schemes. Easier said than done, though, as the talent available on the D side isn’t the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it to the bank They don't call him "Carcass Mariota" for nothing.... Tenn is a streaky team. Mariota still reminds me of his draft buddy Jameis-- as inconsistent as a player can possibly be from week to week. From what I saw yesterday, we fixed our issues with gap control vs the run game, and we'll need that same thing against Henry, but he's the kind of guy we can shut down. I think Singletary and Josh should focus on the home game vs Miami after the bye week. Get 100% healthy and ready for business, meanwhile let Barkley practice this week, see how Foster, McKenzie and Duke compete vs Zay, get that RT spot under control, and get busy with the gameplan for Sunday.

Ned Flanders Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 This is one of three big games on the schedule, including at Browns and home against Baltimore. Bills, Titans, Browns and Ravens will all be battling for a playoff spot come December and winning these head-to-head games are going to be key going forward. Pull out a win in Nashville, get healthy during the bye and start the playoff run with three games at home. Defense will need to come up big again and there's no reason we can't get some needed turnovers off Mariota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsicat17 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Look with the bye week after this game unless Allen and Singletary are 100% healed and fully ready to go you sit them both as much as that will hurt. 2 additional weeks, esp for a hammy injury, could be the difference between 70-75% (more likely to re-injure) and 100% the rest of the year. As far as Allen, if he gets through the protocol fine but he was out cold less then 24 hours ago so we will see. I would be as careful as needed with these two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite as confident in his game as you may be based off last seasons one game and that's your prerogative to believe it's enough to make you confident. he is what he is, a mediocre back up that unfortunately had his number called due to the cheap shot. although if JA would of taken the slide option we wouldn't be having this discussion, hope he learns from that and stops the damn hero ball. I honestly cringed when barkley was throwing yesterday on a few plays, waiting for the inevitable int and it finally came like a dagger in the heart on that last play. maybe he can manage just enough with help from the running game to pull off the win?

Cheektowaga Chad Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 This game is huge and it sucks we potentially won't have Allen playing in it Someone with more knowledge of concussion protocol, how much is it word from the player himself vs actual medical documentation?

The offence has improved but we started with the second to last ranked unit from last year, so improving to say 23rd in the league is a nice jump but still means our D has to hold teams to under 20 points to win, which isn't a good scenario. Our ST unit is still bottom 1/3 of the league, probably worse when the updated DVOA ranks come out tomorrow. Could we beat any of those teams, sure. Would we be favoured to win any of those games, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 As shown by the Football Night in America crew last night, Tennessee found their secret sauce for offense yesterday. Mariotta can’t sit in the pocket and read a defense without getting sacked so they just did quick timing passes and short dump offs yesterday. It was very successful. I’m sure the Bills will see a heavy dose of this on Sunday and should be prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's review. You're not saying there's a chance he doesn't play, you're not saying it would be prudent for him to rest to the bye, you're saying there's no chance he plays. That's a bad take because, as I said, it's ignorant. Until we know more it's ridiculous to think it's clear either way. Now you're also assuming that Singletary isn't playing (unless I missed some news somewhere) which is also ridiculous given the fact that he came close to playing this week. As for the assertion that it's a loss whether or not Allen plays, I suppose that is a difference of opinion. I think mine is closer to reality given the overall context of the first four weeks of the NFL season, but if you feel super confident that the best (or at least top 3) defense in the NFL that made Tom Brady look like Marcus Mariota, can't beat a team that got beat by Gardner Minshew, then you take that feeling to the bank and have fun with it. I think you're very misinformed and projecting your negativity onto reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
