Re: We got the win, but...
The defense is lacking 5 out of 11 starters.
Buffalo had one practice the week prior to the game versus 3 for Cleveland. When Buffalo practiced on Thursday they fully expected to practice on Friday before the weather made that impossible. They likely had to inform team members of at least part of the game virtually, rather than actually practicing the plays.
Josh Allen had fewer passing attempts than he normally would have gotten in his only practice of the week. This because he's still been dealing with an elbow injury. Is it any wonder he had some accuracy issues at the start of the game.
I am concerned about the defense on third and long, but I think the helath of the defensive secondary has a lot to do with it. If we get White and Elam back and Poyer can stay healthy, I think it will look a lot better.
