Charles Clay is a nice weapon, but when he is the only guy out there, I don't see much working for you guys.
You underrate the Cinci corners mightily, and you will be surprised how long your QB has to hold onto the ball until a WR comes open.
As for our offense against your defense, we don't need to score 30+ points. 20 points will win this game with how much trouble your offense will have moving the ball. It's not even about Cinci's defense being good, its about your offense being decimated with injuries. If you guys were healthy, this would be a great game.
Watkins - yes
McCoy - according to his twitter this morning, yes
Williams - we'll find out this afternoon if he's cleared from concussion protocol, but my guess is no
Taylor - a little birdie tells me that he plans to play as long as the medical staff doesn't forbid it...he took first team reps yesterday at practice
I don't think it's so much about underrating the Cinci corners as it is believing that Buffalo's receiving corps is solid. I expect Watkins to get open the same way you expect Green to be open--sitting in the stands at the game, it's astonishing how often he's open and doesn't get the ball...it's nowhere near as bad with Roman at the helm, but Hackett...my word. Watkins was SMOKING Darelle Revis routinely last year, and he got 3 targets that whole game. Bleh.
Another item I neglected to mention about the WRs is this: they are very good blockers. Dial up Tyrod's TD run from the Tennessee game for an example, as Hogan gets downfield and fits up on a safety, and Woods comes in at the last minute to knock two defenders to the ground with a single block. Sammy is actually the best blocker in the WR group, which is yet another reason the fans up here love him.

That would really surprise me given that he grew up a Bills' fan. Who knows why he would take his agent with him...I do know that the "report" omitted a fairly important quote:
@sammywatkins: @TyDunne Wish you could have added the part we have so many playmakers and me not caring about numbers I care about winning.. Grow up.. Sir.
Sammy's a good kid; I don't think there's any issue here.
