With Mills potentially out and definitely not practicing this week, they are likely going to have to devise a game plan where they try to pressure Allen. But if Barmore doesn’t practice and/or play, that makes it harder. One thing is for sure is if they play a soft zone like last time, they likely have little chance of winning Unless the cold turns the ball into a stone that cannot travel well in the air.

I think they switched out of that zone fairly early in the game. They got pretty shredded in cover 1 type defenses (remember McKenzie repeatedly out leveraging and out running Bryant)
Its now or never for Josh Allen to step up into the elite QB category. These are the big games where you chisel your legacy in stone - whether it be good or bad.

I thought it was mostly a soft zone and Bryant was just in the zone they always threw to McKenzie with. But whatever defense they played, it was off the line and the secondary played 5-10 yards off the ball all night whether it was a soft zone or soft man defense.
Bryant does better at corner than slot - so if he were to get the job at #2 for Mills, I believe that's better than Williams.
Then put Ross in the slot - on Beasley. Ross did pretty well last week for Bryant.
What's really disappointing is not being able to see what Wade can do - can he be cleared by Sat night?
This weather could make it harder to throw than the last game in Buffalo. Extreme cold makes the ball really slick and hard which makes it far harder to throw with any velocity especially intermediate and deep balls. Also, the air is denser which creates more drag on the ball. So this could be a ground and pound game.
There are other issues that extreme cold causes from making it harder to breathe and making field slick. This could be a really slop fest of a game.
Here is a good article of how the extreme cold could affect this game. It was about the Super Bowl in NY a few years back, but it all can relate to Saturday.
We’ll hafta win in the trenches and do some things on the back end to confuse allen. Like that 04 game against that amazing colts offense where we had at cb a 2nd year asante (far from what he became in 06 ) and a bunch of jags. Unfortunately dont have that kinda front 7 now, but they gonna hafta step up

Definitely wasn’t just that Bryant was in the zone they were targeting. We ran cover 1 for 47% of the snaps that game, and we started in zone early while Allen was hitting RBs short etc.
Bryant was playing outside leverage man (like the pats often do) and got out leveraged and outrun across the field. It would help him if we had anyone collision him to reroute, yeah.
It’s also not accurate that they were sitting in off man 5-10 yards off the ball all game. For example, here’s one of the biggest completions of the game, if not the biggest. We’re pressed on their 2 WRs on the LOS. Bryant is off, but you aren’t going to press every DB on the field. If dugger re-routed Bryant’s man, he could have caught up.
Or we could stop playing outside leverage for all of these.
I thought the guys on both sides of the trenches played badly for the Patriots in the 2nd Bills game.
I don't think we've seen either team at full go against one another yet.
This is why I think the game is somewhat in the balance. The Bills have to be able to stop the running game again because this time, Mac Jones will throw it, and if the OL gives him some support, it's not going to be constant pressure like we saw in New England.
By the way, tickets are dropping like a rock, $40 upper bowl, $60 second level, $70 end zones.
