Buffalo Bills vs. Green Bay Packers Preview

By all accounts Trent Edwards is a nice guy who is good to his family, but it’s becoming apparent that Edwards is not going to develop into a to-tier NFL quarterback, and the Bills offense is not going anywhere until they somehow, somewhere acquire someone better to replace him. Last Sunday’s game provided a stark reminder to Buffalo fans just how bad things are. The Dolphins basically lined up their entire defense within 7 yards of the line of scrimmage and dared the Bills to run the ball. Even Buffalo’s highly touted No. 1 draft choice, C.J. Spiller, had nowhere to go; the Bills finished with just 50 yards on the ground. Edwards, meanwhile, had the Dolphins defense in his face most of the afternoon and even a medium-range passing attack couldn’t get started.

All of the above pretty much explains why the Bills are the first double-digit dog of the season. In a quarterback-centric league, teams without a good quarterback go to the back of the line, and stay there – no matter how good their defense is. Buffalo coach Chan Gailey admitted after the game that running the ball will be next to impossible this season unless opponents have some respect for the passing game.

The Green Bay news this week was dominated by the season-ending injury suffered by running back Ryan Grant. Grant’s loss will definitely hurt, but the Packers have other problems. The defensive line has been ravaged by injuries, with Justin Harrell out for the year (ACL) and Cullen Jenkins’s playing time limited by a broken hand. GB had its hands full dealing with Michael Vick in the second half last Sunday and was glad to escape with a 27-20 win.

Buffalo figures to run the ball (otherwise why pay big money to Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson and Spiller?) and hope against hope that the passing game can bust one early to loosen up a defense that will probably copy Miami’s blueprint. If the Bills struggle again on offense, it could get out of hand.

Picks: Buffalo +13 and Under (43)

Lost in the muck of the Bills’ ugly loss to Miami was the fact that the Buffalo defense was pretty much as good as advertised. Buffalo held Miami to one touchdown, and stiffened several times to take the shine off Dolphins drives. Thirteen points is a heavy line for a team that plays defense as well as Buffalo does.

The Under also deserves a good look as GB tries to find its way with a new starter at running back and Buffalo tries again to find a way to pound the ball on the ground and control clock.
