The Saints will do not go as quietly into the Thanksgiving night. Once the Bills got down in the second half last week against Indy, they didn’t put up much of a fight and the game was over early in the fourth quarter. Buffalo only needs smart from Allen this week. The Bills defense will probably be good enough to win on their own and the offense will eventually have too many good options for the Saints to shut them all down. I think this is a game where he has to be satisfied taking sacks, throwing the ball away and settling for punts.
If Allen had simply avoided the two interceptions in Jacksonville, Buffalo probably wins the game 9-6 or something ugly like that instead of losing it. Josh Allen cannot help them with poor decisions. In fact, the best way New Orleans can score points might be via the defense. They’re also third-best in least touchdown passes allowed and top 10 in most interceptions.Īs mentioned above, I don’t see this as a game the Saints offense will be able to generate much on its own. They are number one in the NFL in yards per carry allowed. On the flip side, the Saints defense is pretty legit.
Don’t be stunned if this game turns into a better sleeping aid than the turkey tryptophan for non-Bills fans. I think this game might resemble some of the dominations Buffalo put together against the likes of Davis Mills and Jacoby Brissett. This Bills defense should have no problem smothering whatever talent is left standing for New Orleans Thursday night.
