How much of the playbook comes out?

Stick with starters not really playing in this one for one more storyline, an intriguing thought will be the idea of this contest being a bit of a “preseason game” for the Bills. During the exhibition season, players only see a very vanilla playbook tossed at them. An offense is not exotic and defensive schemes are also watered down.

Will the Bills use their normal playbook, or take it easy and just try to get in and out of the game? Regardless, the team has 15 games worth of film for the eventual playoff opponent to figure them out, but with McDermott, you know he doesn’t want to give any opponent an inch so this could be a bit of a boring looking one. Some big efforts can be a difference-maker, though.

Wouldn’t expect another Dion Dawkins score in this one.
