My prediction for Thursday:

 

1.  Kincaid has his best game of the year so far statistically.  Lots of slants, abusing Miami up the middle of the field.

2.  Knox rebounds to a dropless game (even tho you could argue PI on one of his drops against the Jets).

3.  Hawes puts on a clinic with some textbook blocking this week.

 

This is also the sort of game, or situation where I’d like to see Brady dial it up for Shavers a few times.

 

Let’s see what this kid can do with the ball in his hands in front of a packed, stacked and jacked Highmark Stadium on Thursday night.

I like the idea of showcasing the TEs here too, let's get some packages in there that will give future opponents DCs headaches in planning.

Yep, Knox will rebound.

 

Remember when he had the drops as a rookie and in the off season he went to that "hands coach"? After that, he caught almost everything. He just needs a refresher. He will revert to his catching form.

 

If he doesn't start catching, his salary cap hit of $14 mil is in ludicrous territory. Heck, even when catching, he isn't worth $14 mil.

Bringing in Hawes and then the emergence of Kincaid's blocking has really opened up the heavy run game. The offense has so many different pieces, they can run almost anything they want. It's freaking awesome.

Since his rookie year when he had a couple bad drops, I love watching him catch the ball.  He wraps it up like it's the worlds most valuable treasure with his entire body.  In his hands I never worry about it getting dislodged from a hit.

I know statistically it hasn’t been eye popping so far but Dalton Kincaid had been great so far this season in all facets of his game. Looks like he had a chip on his shoulder after last season

Iirc, we targeted TEs 12 times last week and the WRs 11 times.  I think 13 personnel will continue to become more and more prevalent as the season goes on as long as we remain healthy at TE.

To me this is going to be another game where the RB's have a lot of carries and they try to control the clock and grind this game out. If that's the case I suspect the TE's will get a lot of targets as they look to get "easy" first downs in more manageable down and distances. The Jets game will likely be the blueprint once again for what they will try to do against the Fins. Of course Josh is there in a "break glass in case of needed" event. But I think this looks to be a big James Cook game.

It's easy to imagine Kincaid beating his 2025 high of 48 yards (vs. Ravens).  

 

And it's easy to imagine Knox having fewer drops than he did against the Jets!

 

So far this year, the Bills are targeting their WRs 59% of the time.  That stat surprised me because I had thought we were targeting WRs more this year.  We're not - it's almost exactly the same as 2024.   TEs are being targeted this season about 27% of the time and RBs about 14%.


I'm guessing the numbers against the Fins will skew a little heavier toward TEs and RBs.  Low-risk stuff with a chance for high reward considering the Fin LBs have been struggling with coverage and as a team they miss some tackles.  

 

The run/pass mix will be normal Brady stuff so I don't know if the TEs will have "big" days since we'll run roughly half the time.  I guess it depends on how you define "big."  Shannon Sharpe's single-game record of 214 is probably safe.

I don't think he is ever going to live up to his status as a 1st round pick at this point. The route running/pass catching abilities just haven't been as good as advertised. But he has been better this season as a blocker and is still a solid pass catcher at least. So at least he hasn't been a total bust like Elam was.

I can see that. But with how bad their secondary is....I think it's gonna be a Coleman kinda night.
