Five Bills to watch Buffalo Bills T-Shirt , revisited: offense terrible vs Baltimore Ravens Well, that was embarrassing.The Buffalo Bills traveled to Maryland only to be trounced on opening day by the Baltimore Ravens, losing 47-3 in what was the worst first-game loss in team history. The Bills did not manage a single first down in the first half, and their quarterbacks combined for fewer passing yards (98) than the team had penalty yards assessed against it (100). Yeah, it was that kind of day.Each week, we provide a look at five players to watch during the upcoming week’s game, and this week, we couldn’t have guessed that one of those players would not even suit up for the contest. Although, upon further review, it might have been better if at least one other player on the list didn’t play in the game, either.Here is a look at how our five Bills to watch performed on Sunday.CB Vontae DavisDavis wasn’t a Bill to watch Buffalo Bills Hats , instead serving as a Bill who watched during this one. Davis was a healthy scratch on the afternoon, ceding the starting snaps to Phillip Gaines. Rookie Taron Johnson then manned the slot. Davis watched as Gaines allowed touchdown receptions to John Brown and Michael Crabtree in the first half, and when Johnson left the game with a shoulder injury, head coach Sean McDermott turned to safety Rafael Bush as his slot corner.QB Nathan PetermanPeterman completed 5 of his 18 passes, totaling 24 yards, and he added 2 interceptions on the day, which mercifully ended in the third quarter. When accounting for the 3 sacks Peterman took, losing 12 yards, he netted 12 yards passing. On his career, Peterman is now 29-for-67 (43%) with 2 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. His career quarterback rating is 25.7 after yesterday’s goose-egg. He has yet to complete a game he has started, having left two due to poor performance and one due to injury. After a stellar preseason Buffalo Bills Womens Hoodie , Peterman once again flopped when the game mattered.WR Zay JonesIt’s difficult to evaluate a receiver when his quarterbacks struggled so mightily in doing anything, but Jones had the best day of any Buffalo receiver. That’s not saying much, but it is saying something. Jones caught 3 of his 6 targets for a team-high 26 yards receiving. All other Buffalo receivers combined for 4 catches and 31 yards on 12 targets. If Jones can provide whomever the starting quarterback is next week with a solid option, he can help to turn the offense around.DE Trent MurphyUnfortunately, Buffalo’s pass rush looked a lot like it did last year. Joe Flacco had eons to throw, moving the pocket and using his athleticism to elude would-be tacklers in the pocket on the rare occasions when Buffalo did provide any sort of pressure. Murphy made one tackle, and he was also credited with a half-sack in garbage time against rookie Lamar Jackson. Murphy displayed a good motor throughout the day, and he looked like an upgrade on the outside over Shaq Lawson. However, his presence did not instantly pay dividends in the game, as Buffalo had only one “sack” when the Ravens had their starters in the game. (Flacco fell down at the line of scrimmage and was touched by rookie Tremaine Edmunds for a loss of around a foot.)C Ryan GroyBuffalo’s offensive line was as-advertised yesterday. They could not open holes in the running game, as Baltimore stacked the box and played press-man on the outsides Womens Customized Buffalo Bills Jerseys , daring Peterman to beat them with physical tools he doesn’t possess and receiving weapons that aren’t on the roster. As a result, the quarterbacks were under constant duress, and when they did have some time it was because Baltimore had locked up all of Buffalo’s receivers, leading to an eventual hit on the quarterback as he stepped up in the pocket. It was not a good day for anyone wearing blue, and Groy might not have been the worst offensive lineman on the field for the Bills, but he did not have a great debut as the team’s official starting center. The Buffalo Bills lost a heartbreaker to the Houston Texans last Sunday, in another game where the defense played lights-out and the offense played like the lights were out.Outlets are starting to warm up to the Bills as “definitely not the worst team in the league,” thanks to their early wins and strong defense, but they’re settled right in the thick of the back of the pack. Read on for this week’s power ranking lineup.ESPN gave Buffalo a slight boost from 29th to 28th in their power rankings, and noted that the Bills only have a 2.9 percent chance of making the playoffs (given their current playing abilities). The 1-5 Colts are still ranked ahead of the Bills, but that will change this week if Buffalo can upset the betting favorite with one of their backup quarterbacks under center.The Bills dropped from 29th to 30th in The MMQB’s weekly staff poll. The staff writer was not impressed with the way Buffalo handled its quarterback situation this year (shock and awe).Despite their loss Authentic Josh Allen Jersey , the Bills actually moved up one spot in the SB Nation power rankings, from 30 to 29. That continued a climb from the week prior, when the Bills rose from 31 to 30 after beating the Tennessee Titans.Vinnie Iyer at The Sporting News was higher than anyone on the Bills last week (with a lofty 25th overall ranking), but he dropped the Bills two places to 27 after their loss to Houston. Iyer likes Buffalo’s defense, but not their tendency to turn the ball over on offense.In the USA Today power rankings, the Bills remained at 28, and the author shared some sympathy for quarterback Nathan Peterman.The Bills fell one spot in The Associated Press poll, from 26 to 27. That makes them the worst-rated team with 2 wins.
