And in this phase it\u2019s probably not fair to EJ, coming back from his injury and without Woods and Stevie. Geno also has an extra week to prepare for a defense that forced him into 3 turnovers in the last meeting. But look at me making excuses. In loses this season Smith has 1TD\/9INT\u2019s, pressuring him is the difference in getting a win, he also hasn\u2019t thrown a TD in 2 weeks. = <strong>Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">EJ Manuel: 107\/189 for 1,140 yards, 56%, 6TD\/4INT, 76.2 QBR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Geno Smith:\u00a0 158\/272 for 1,997 yards, 58%, 8TD\/13INT, 71.0 QBR<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Running back:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1472\" alt=\"buf\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>The Jets bring with them the 9<sup>th<\/sup> ranked rushing attack led by Bilal Powell a guy who hasn\u2019t rushed for more than 70 yards since gashing the Bills for 150 in week 3. Powell carried the ball 27x in that game averaging 5.5ypc. It was a horrific display for the Bills defense. \u00a0The Bills struggled on the ground in the last meeting outside of Jackson\u2019s 59 yards bounce-out they were held to about 2 yards per carry. Both teams are going to try and win this on the ground and I give the Bills the edge\u00a0 = <strong>Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Fred Jackson: 129\/557 yards, 4.3ypc, 6TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Bilal Powell: 109\/414, 3.8ypc, 1TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Wide Receivers\/Tight ends:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYJ.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1649\" alt=\"NYJ\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYJ.png\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a>The Bills are a mess at WR right now. But I am excited about the wrinkle Chris Gragg can bring. He\u2019s very quick for a TE and could present match-up problems for LBers. The Bills will need to rely heavily on TE\u2019s because TJ Graham and Flash Goodwin can not fill the shoes of Stevie and Woods. For the Jets getting Santonio Holmes back is a big deal, but let\u2019s not forget his huge numbers (10\/154 yards, 1TD) were against Justin Rogers, expect Gilmore to have a good bounce back game against the speedster. = <strong>Jets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Jeremy Kerley: 28\/347 yards, 2TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Stephen Hill: 23\/340 yards, 1TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Scott Chandler: 35\/388 yards, 2TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">TJ Graham: 16\/198, 0TD<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Oline:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYJ.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1649\" alt=\"NYJ\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYJ.png\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a>Bills and Jets both sit at 30<sup>th<\/sup> in the league with 31 sacks allowed. An interesting point though, the Jets have lost 40 more yards on sacks. The Bills Oline was outstanding against the Chiefs and dismal against the Steelers. Looking both teams and how they fared against the Saints I give the edge to the Jets. = <strong>Jets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Dline\/LBers:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1472\" alt=\"buf\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>The 2013 Bills have been anything but consistent, but the front 7 has really shown to be the core of this team. Every week someone is making a play, Dareus, Williams and Williams have all gotten to the QB at least 5x, Jerry Hughes has stepped up making Lawsons injury be less of a factor, opposing teams are beginning to hate playing Buffalo. The Jets rush is also very credible they get most their pressure from \u201cself proclaimed best defensive player\u201d Mo Wilkerson. The Jets sacked EJ Manuel 8x in the first match-up, with Goodwin and Graham, EJ better have a hot read on every play. =<strong> Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Jerry Hughes: 33 Tackles, 6 sacks, 2FF<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kiko Alonso: 99 Tackles, 2 Sacks. 1FF<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Muhammed Wilkerson: 31 Tackles, 8 Sacks, 2FF<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Calvin Pace: 31 Tackles, 5 Sacks, 2FF<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Defensive backs:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1472\" alt=\"buf\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/buf.png\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>Circle Sunday on your calendar. The Bills\u00a0 secondary will bounce back and they\u2019ll take advantage of a rookie QB and a weak receiving core. Holmes will certainly not like the physical style of Gilmores play and Jim Leonard will probably play the most snaps he\u2019s seen since Byrds return. The Jets have 5 INT\u2019s on the year and opponents avg QBR against them is a 90. Manuel was terribly erratic last week but as a whole he does a good job protecting the football. = <strong>Bills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Aaron Williams: 59 Tackles, 8PD, 3INT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Jim Leonard: 30 Tackles, 3PD, 3INT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Antonio Allen: 49 Tackles, 4PD, 1INT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Dawan Landry: 46 Tackles, 6PD, 1INT<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Much to my surprise I really think the Bills have an opportunity in this matchup. Jets are rested and healthy for the most part, Bills are banged up going into week 11 without a bye, but on paper the Bills win a lot of the important match-ups. Marrone is fired up hopefully that spills over to the field with the players. It\u2019s a big game, it\u2019s at home and it\u2019s going into a bye week. I keep reading that Rex called his brother Rob for some inside information, any chance Doug picked up the phone and called Sean?
