The Buffalo Bills had to endure a preseason loss to the Carolina Panthers this past week, prompting head coach, Rex Ryan to place quarterback Tyrod Taylor in starting position for this match against Cleveland. Taylor was brought on as a sub for Matt Cassel during the Bills’ previous game and supported 5-of-8 passing for 49 yards with 47 rushing yards on six ground attempts.
While Buffalo after the first preseason game are ranked 24th in passing yards, they currently sit in second position for their 206.0 rushing yards. Meanwhile, their shaky defence so far places them in 17th position overall in the NFL, although a fifth position in rushing defence provides them with some credit. In terms of points scored so far, the Bills managed 24 against the Panthers last week, placing them in ninth position.

Cleveland’s Josh McCown had a stellar outing in his preseason début, successfully completing all five of his passes for 33 yards and a touchdown. However, it wasn’t enough to stop them being overrun by Washington’s Redskins, suffering a loss of 20-17. All eyes will be paying close attention to Johnny Manziel as he tries to power his way through some strong Buffalo defence in order to boost the Browns up the rankings.
After their first preseason game the Browns are currently suffering towards the lower end of the rankings when it comes to offence, seated in a 26th position for pass yards and 32nd for rush yards. Defence is slightly stronger, with 215.0 pass yards and 153.0 rush yards placing them in an overall position of 23rd. Cleveland have some work to do in order to gain traction in the NFL rankings – perhaps the home turf advantage will be of some assistance.
The Bills’ head coach Rex Ryan has a career preseason record of 11-14 which includes a 0-1 mark this season. The Browns’ head coach Mike Pettrine has a poor 1-4 preseason record included in that is 0-1 record this season as it appears winning isn’t a priority for Cleveland’s coach.

Neither one of these coaches appears to care about winning the football game and with the injuries to both teams it’s difficult to predict how this game with unfold. The Bills are down to basically 5th string running backs so expect a lot of carries from such household names as Bronson Hill and Ricky Seale. On the home side the Browns are extremely thin at corner and are expected to be without four of their top corners on Thursday. The Bills receiving corps is also beat up but it’s a deep group so there are some options. Look for the Bills to rest anyone who even has even a bruised eyelash for this and the Browns should survive the secondary injuries and get the point spread cover.
