If we score 21 Ill be shocked.

Carolina has the 5th ranked defense in the league. We put 20 on them.

Texans are ranked 21st.

Anything can happen. I wouldn't be surprised if they won this one and went into the bye at .500.

Although they still aren't making the playoffs with that bad of an offense.

Does this mean that Maybin might actually make a play on Sunday?!?!?

Did you see him go ape **** when they called a penalty that prevented him from getting his first sack?

He was ready to explode. He had some good rushes Sunday. He just came up short.

Sorry, but how is the Texans' OL worse than ours? They've only given up 12 sacks in 7 games, we've given up 21 in 7 games. Oh yeah, and they have 48 more passing attempts than we do.

How can their line be worse than the Bills? How many TD's have they scored? Nuff said...

very true. The title of the thread is wrong, but it is still a winnable game. Actually a must-win if the players and coaches still think they've got a shot at the playoffs. :funny:

There is no worse OL in the NFL than the Buffalo Bills OL.

:roflmao: Yeah, you're right, the Chiefs and Lions are just THAT dominant (more sacks allowed, less yards per rush than the Bills - those are just from a quick once-over the stats). And neither of those teams lost their starting RT's to injury the second week of the season.

Think THEN post.

I agree that it's a winnable game. I still think their offense will get the better of our defense.

The problem is that our defense has given up a lot of yards to opposing QB's, but not many TD's. We've also been winning because of turnovers lately. Schaub has done a great job protecting the ball this year, and even without Andre Johnson still has a lot of playmakers. Owen Daniels is at a position that normally toasts Buffalo (we gave up ~135 yards receiving to Carolina's TE's).

And at this point, I really don't think our offense can consistently move the ball against anyone. I don't trust the coaches to bring out a good gameplan offensively. The Texans will score 14+, and I don't believe our offense will be able to keep up.

21 pts in 'Dickie-bird fashion' is going to have to mean 7 FG's because the offense isn't going to put 3 TD's on the board.

Scratch that, because the offense isn't going to be able to sustain 7 drives long enough to get into FG range.

Maybe a couple of quick scores by the defense or ST's to take a big lead early, and then go into a shell and frustratingly watch the Texans climb back into the game and turn it into a nail-biter. I guess that's possible.

wait... Matt Schaub is putting up the best numbers of any QB in the league right now... as long as Andre Johnson is healthy the Texans will light us up (that guy is straight up uncoverable right now).

How do you see this as a cakewalk? To beat the Texans we'll probably have to put up 30 points. Do you see this offense ever putting up that many points?

Anything can happen. I thought Brees and the Saints would kill us 75-0, and yet, it was a close game until the 4th qtr and we kept the Saints to one of their lowest scores of the year!

I'm not saying that's going to happen with Houston, but this defense is better than people give it credit for. They give up yards, but not points. It's very odd, but it seems to work for them. If only the offense could get their ass in gear and put up some points...

Texans looked brutal vs the Jets. Totally got owned. We could beat them. Any given sunday. If our DL makes some plays, we'll have a shot. Texans do not run the ball well at all. It'll give Byrd some chances to make more plays. We'll see. Of course i'm trying to be optimistic as deserve to be 7 pt underdogs.

We've played every team close except the beatdown in Miami.

True, -but we dont have Delhomme throwing to our guys. Our offense is going to have to actually move the ball down the field.

We will have 4 sacks and 2 Ints. We will win 21-17, in Dicky Ball Fashion!
That's a great way to jinx the Bills.:zipit:

You mean the Bills will bumble their way into a win despite themselves? Again.

I think the Bills win this one. Because it is just like the Bills under Jauron to get back to .500 at some point in the season, still be in playoff contention, and then fumble their way to a 7-9 record.

Owen Daniels. I would want to be facing him. This defense is usually tight end friendly. They will need to pay close attention to him.

Funny how he was almost a Bill. But then we wouldn't have Maybin or Levitre as those were the picks we were going to trade for him (traded up to the second with our third to get Levitre.)

Not funny, it's sad. I'd rather have Owen Daniels than both of those bums.

You know you have a dump off, check down QB, you get him a solid tight end safety valve.

I guarantee people wouldn't be *****ing if Trent was getting Owen Daniels the ball 7 times a game instead of Schouman and Fine.

The Bills played two straight road games against 2 of the tougher defenses, especially at home. That counts for something. They'll be home this weekend and the Texans will likely be without Johnson. I like the Bills' chances.

I'll admit I'm not a Schouman fan but looking back the offense has struggled since we lost him. Granted Daniels is far superior and I agree love to have him here but just wanted to give Schouman some props as he was doing a pretty good job when he was in there. That said if Daniels is on the open market this offseason I'd definitely rank him among the top guys on my list if we keep TE as our QB.
