Do or die for Bills Monday nite
The Buffalo Bills are in the midst of a three game skid that has wound them up at the bottom of the AFC East. At this point in the season a lose to the Cleveland Browns would pretty much put them out of playoff contention.
The Bills must win no doubt about it. The question is can they get the job done considering how their offensive, and defensive lines are playing.
The key to the game for the offense will be to control Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rodgers. Rodgers is second on the team in tackles with 47, and leads the team in sacks, which is four.
What will happen if the Bills cannot control Rodgers? The same as the last two weeks, which is no running game, and Bills quarterback Trent Edwards being forced into turnovers.
Defensively, the Bills have to shut down the running game of the Browns. Right now the running game is not going very well, but with quarterback Brady Quinn being the starter now they will surely rely on it to take the pressure off the kid.
In regards to the passing game they cannot let tight end Kellen Winslow get loose. Winslow leads the team in receptions, with 36 for 362 yards receiving, and three touchdowns.
Also, the Bills must confuse Quinn, with complex schemes, and putting pressure on him. Getting pressure on Quinn will not be easy with pro bowl guard Eric Steinbach, and tackle Joe Thomas leading the way, so defensive coordinator Perry Fewell will need to be creative.
The team that can execute its keys will win the game.
