I think its pretty safe to say that however you pair them up, the Bills WR's are more productive..... Johnson is only better than Moulds because he's younger. Keep in mind that Lee Evans didn't play on a regular basis until week 5 last year as he was a rookie, he would have easily had 1000 yards and 10-12 TD's had he been a starter on opening day.

Those are last year's stats with a different QB. I thought Losman wasn't going to throw it much, isn't that what you said. Johnson isn't just better than moulds because he's younger, that's bad logic man. That would mean that Evans is better than Johnson because he's younger. Andre is a beast, He is better because simply he is better. Yards and TDs don't always show the whole picture. Don't let simple stats lead you to believe that your WRs are better than ours.

I'm not, I'm letting the fact that Moulds has been putting up Andre Johnson Numbers for years, and Evans came in as a rookie and was more productive than your number 2 and 3 guys combined.

We won't be throwing it much, but we will go deep 2-3 times to Evans, and he'll be open, unless you want to leave Moulds in single coverage which I don't recomend.

Andre johnson is a beast, but he has yet to establish himself as a top 5 reciever.

Davis is our number 2 receiver as of now. check out his stats. Enough with the psychic crystal ball stuff. So now, you're going to go deep to Evans 2-3 times and he will be open? You're looking at stats too much to determine realpotential. You can't catch the ball 100 times if you're only thrown the ball 50 times. Just because your receivers get thrown at more, doesn't mean they're better. We throw alot more to our running back than most teams do. You probably don't see that though if you're only looking at WR stats.

I know what I'm talking about, I know how this offense works, I know how football works....

davis was you're 3rd best WR last year.

Heres the deal... Moulds is a proven vet who demands double coverage, always has, did last year, is healthier and in better shape this year....

Evans was a stud in his rookie year, consistantly open, great hands.

Thrown at more? Moulds and Evans had maybe 10-15 more catches than Gaffney and Johnson, yet had 100 more yards and 6 more TD's....

Maybe I know what my team will do because I know more about my team? No crystal ball stuff, We will go deep to evans 2-3 times on Sunday, when you have a deep threat thats what you do... not that difficult. And he will be open, because he was open all last year, you can't single cover him and expect to stop him,...evans runs crisper routes than i've seen from a rookie...

Lee Evans will be a clone of Marvin Harrison in 1-2 years. Mark my words.

Wrong, Davis was our second best receiver last year. that's where you are wrong. 10-15 more catches and 100 more yards, sounds about right. 8-10 yards per catch. how does that show they are better? Alot of teams have a deep threat, Look at our Rookie Mathis 4.2 speed, fastest player out of the draft, is he not a deep threat? will we throw to him 2-3 times, i don't really know, i'm not psychic like you. So about Evans, did you go to every game last year? because it's hard if not impossible to see receivers run routes watching on TV. I think you're just saying that because someone on your message board said that or that's what you've read somewhere. Evans will never be anywhere near Harrison, dream on. oh wait, i forgot, you got a crystal ball.

Umm... I have season tickets and watch every game. When they show replays of long TD's oTD passes in general they always show the coach cam shot, you watch the WR get off the line, you watch him run his routes...

Listen, just because you don't know anything about your team doesn't mean thats the case with everyone. Just because I know more than you shouldn't make you so angry, it should make you want to learn more....

Its not the yards (although Evans averages around 2.5 more YPC than anyone from Houston) its the TD's.....

You're a troll dude, I'm not mad that would eb pointless. I know alot about my team, where do you come off saying things like you know more than me. You know nothing about me except my post name and my age. you know more about Buffalo, but not about Houston. Get off your high horse.

[LBC_Justin]

Again this game boils down to play of JP Losman.

Who has never started a regular season game.
His regular season stats are... 5 Attempts, 3 completions, 0 TDs, 1 Int

Really hard to forecast how he or the Bills offense is going to do based on those last season stats.

I just hope no one sustains any major injuries.

Capers always has a gameplan ..... and he wont change it even if its NOT working . :brickwall
I think the Texans staff is the worst in the league at making adjustments .

[Texas]

First...Evans may not have had a whole league of games to cover his stats but neither did gaffney or bradford. They switched out alot and we have another now who is all about speed (mathis)...
DD and W.M. are about even
Carr is more experienced and a little bit better
Our Secondary is better by a small margin.
I beleive our Linebackers are even
Yalls OL and DL are both better.

Texans I beleive will win this or lose this by a close margin

Dude, just from reading this thread, you are the one that is acting more like the troll. He isn't coming to our board and trashing anyone, he is saying what he believes and doing so in a calm and mature manner. Your bashing of him is more in the lines of what we call trolls. There are alot of us Texans fans that like to debate with fans of other teams like him.

Honestly, I was enjoying this thread until you started. I think your input has actually degraded this thread. Just my opinion.

Our Secondary is better by a small margin. Hard to believe, Milloy and vincent at Saftey, then Clements who is the best gut on either team
I beleive our Linebackers are evenDefinatly not, not even close, sorry.
Yalls OL and DL are both better. Who knows... Our OL might royally suck.

Texans I beleive will win this or lose this by a close margin

Thats what I think

I don't really feel like debating this until the real football has begun, but please tell me you at least realize who the Bills have in their secondary. Nate Clements, Terrance McGee, Troy Vincent, and Lawyer Milloy. In your unbiased heart of hearts you feel Coleman, Earl, Buchanon, and Robinson are better?

And Clemens is the best corner in the league based on? Robinson was a rookie, early in the year all quartebacks were throwing to him and staying away from Glenn's side. BY about midway through the season they were throwing to Glenn and staying away from Robinson. Because he was a rookie and teams planned to consitently attack him until they got burned ( 6 picks), there is no real way to determine how good Dunta really is. He might be the next great Deion ( there is always hope for Texan fans) or he might just be a a good corner. I think this season will tell a lot more about his potenatial than the last...

...almost seems like Capers has the same game plan for every game,
or maybe has 2 or 3 that he alternates

[#1 Bills Fan]

Clements is the best corner in the league based on his own hype. Truth is he's not a true shut-down corner. He's a ballhawk who gets burned for a deep touchdown about as frequently as he jumps and out route and takes it to the house. What makes his value rise is the fact that he's been relatively durable and contributes on special teams.

But from a pure cover perspective, Clements is top 10 at best, not #1 by any means.

Earl won't start the Buffalo game. A rookie, C.C. Brown, will start the game and he's been pretty good in the preseason. Earl has been slowed by a shoulder injury.

...admitting he is wrong is not a Caper's strong point

I know, but when healthy I assumed Earl would return to the starting lineup. The question still stands though. You'd take your secondary over the Bills? Again, I'm not debating, just looking for an unbiased answer and the reasoning behind it.
