Aside from that. I don't think you realize that Robey is a good DB, but he isn't the "perfect" match up on any of our WRs that you think he is. He is in his 3rd year, is 5-8 and 165lbs. If he is going up against the 6-2, 198lb Jones or the 6-2, 210lb Sanu, then that is a favorable match up for the Bengals.
Robey would have to play perfect technique all game long.
All I am saying is that if the Bills played the way you think they should, then that would leave Jones open. If you want to account for Jones, then you will have to leave Eifert open (Lawson is good, but not great at stopping TEs). If you somehow have Green, Jones and Eifert double covered (without having 12 men on the field) then you will be leaving Sanu and our RBs open.
I think you aren't giving the Jets DLine enough credit. Richardson and Wilkerson aren't slouches. The LBers Pace, Couples and Henderson are all good players. From a Defensive aspect, the Bills are very similar to what we faced when we played the Jets. That is why everyone keeps mentioning that it is the same.
Now, I will give you a pass for thinking Taylor is in the same league as Wilson. All fans think their players are just as good if not better than other players. Just know that only Bills fans would think that they are the same.
Of course they'll move chess pieces around; all OCs do that.
I don't deny that Robey is at a size disadvantage. Typically, the ball needs to be thrown over the top of the defense to put that to use. As I said, Ryan's defense has been dictating all season long the short, quick throws. They don't really leave time for over-the-top throws. They've only allowed 3 pass completions of 40 yards or more all season, and two of them came long after games were decided (the 3rd was, quite possibly, the most impressive throw/cover/catch scenario I've ever seen--Brady to Amendola late in the 4th quarter on 3rd and long).
In the link I posted, Jones himself was talking about needing to beat defenders to a spot. Those kinds of throws typically favor speed players over size. That's not to say that the Bengal WRs aren't fast; they just don't hold a speed advantage over Buffalo's CBs.
I will virtually guarantee you that they won't be doubling all of Eifert/Green/Jones, and Rex doesn't feel that they need to (nor do I, for that matter). They'll "double" Eifert with bracket coverage and let Gilmore and Darby cover Green and the other boundary corner (sounds like Jones), respectively. I doubt they expect to shut those guys down with perfect coverage all day; it's more likely they'll play press man to disrupt route timing, and count on Cinci using the "get the ball out immediately" approach to avoid having to deal with Buffalo's pass rush.
Re: the Jets' DL, yes, they're good. Wilkerson and Richardson, in particular, are tough. Perhaps they're comparable to Dareus/Kyle, but the edge defenders aren't close. I'm not sure who the LB Henderson is...my recollection tells me that David Harris and Demario Davis were the ILBs in Rex's D in NJ.
As to Taylor comparing to Wilson, all I said was that their respective levels of play this year were quite similar; you're rushing to judgement to say that I'm viewing Taylor's level of play through a colored fan lens. Wilson hasn't been the Wilson of 2013 or 2014 this year; that much is apparent.
