Well, last week’s game didn’t go the way we hoped, and now the Bills need a big win on Monday night. Is this a “season in peril” type game? No, not that early, but it’s still a big game. Buffalo may have to play without James Cook and Khalil Shakir, which makes the optimistic, bold predictions for their offense a bit of a stretch (which is the nature of bold predictions, after all). Nonetheless, I’m going to give it a try.
This is bold because he has three total pressures on the season and has yet to record a sack. Granted, this will only be his second career start, but he has filled his 117 snaps admirably this season. Carter made some good plays and recorded five defensive stops, according to PFF. The Jets offensive line played well and it won’t be easy, but Carter is getting more and more snaps, succeeding and delivering the first sack of his career.
Johnson has played all seven snaps in 2024 and the Bills can’t get him back soon enough. Cam Lewis in his place has been, well, to put it bluntly, terrible! Buffalo’s defense is much better with Johnson, whose run defense is one of the best among all defensive backs in the league. He will give the Bills defense a boost and he will get his first interception of the season against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets.
Gardner sauce might be there Keon Coleman more than any other Bills receiver, and when you count the yardage expected to be called due to Gardner’s holding penalties, Coleman could rack up…200 yards. Look, this might be the boldest prediction I’ve ever had. Coleman hasn’t had a game with more than 51 yards, but according to PFF, he has just one drop on 16 targets and is averaging 19.4 yards per reception, fourth in the league. Count me in for a big Coleman day.
