Keys to the game

[YardRat]

1. Buffalo's o-line vs Oakland's d-line = our guys need to at least match the nastiness and physicality of Oakland's. I don't know if they have that in them yet.

2. McFadden vs Buffalo front seven = their running scheme scares me a little bit...if we overpursue or miss tackles, McFadden could have a big day.

3. Roscoe Parrish = a big day returning punts would be nice, but Chandler should get more attention after last week and that could open things up for 'Scoe.

The key is stopping the run. If the Bills can contain that, the Raiders are in big trouble.

They need to respect their gaps and guard against the cut-backs.

Keys to the game: Play man, stack the box on defense. Spread them out on offense, score first, take their most effective weapon out of the game. Once we have a comfortable lead, force them to pass more, pin the ears back and blitz. Ball game. JMO

Protect Fitzpatrick and smash Raiders in the mouth repeatedly with Fred Jackson

Re: Keys to the game

I think the Bills need to jump out to an early lead & make the Raiders try to play catch up. They will not be able to do that with their WR's.
