Barmore is fine. Spillane is questionable.

patriots are 2nd worst rush defense since week 9 ??? wow

Don't count on that.
It's just as likely they'll put Jennings onto the IR than they will cut Chism.

I saw something the afternoon on NFL Today. I don't watch it most days, but as I was flipping through, I saw that Orlofsky was on and he has some interesting breakdowns sometimes and today was no different.

He happened to be breaking down the Seattle defense, in a discussion on the Colt game this week. It was interesting because the Seahawk D is very similar to the Texans D, which was VERY effective against the Bills offense, both their pass and run game. In Brief and without the X's and O's:

1. They give a lot of blitz looks with mostly 5-man fronts and then biltz in 5-7man rushes or drop into various coverages hoping to disguise the coverage and get the ball to come out quick. Those blitz looks are also good against the run as well as long as the LB's are tackling well.

2. The Bills were sacked EIGHT times and had 12 QB hits (BTW is a sack counted also as a QBhit or are they in addition to the sacks?) The Bills were held to 3 points in the 2nd half

3. I'm hoping the Pats took a LONG look at the Bills/Texans film during the off week and I wouldn't mind seeing that 5 man look featured against the Bills.

4. Picture it. Landry, Barmore, Tonga, Durden, Chassion
Davis
Spilllane Ellis Gonzo


Woodson Hopkins

the options include sending Davis and dropping Landry or twisting the DL or have on of the LB's coming. Lots of combinations you can use. Check out the NFL today show if you catch it. Orlofsky does it a lot better than me, even though he was talking about other teams. You can see the potential of the scheme.

This my thought exactly - the Bills have no deep threat other than Kincaid. He deserves bracket coverage with a safety over the top. Otherwise we need everyone near the line of scrimmage to crowd up against: (1) short throws, (2) screens, (3) run game, (4) QB scramble. There is really no reason to play a single 2 deep coverage except in third/fourth and long situations. The real key to this, IMO, is containing Allen while playing this defense. The only times they get deep passes are on extended/broken plays. Keep him in the pocket and force him to make tight window throws to bad receivers again and again and you will win.

I like Mina Kimes I agree with her analysis. I think this is going to be a close game (she has a lot of trouble picking a winner on this one).

I also think win or lose, we come out as we came in -- a team to be feared/respected. I think that's already been cemented.

Jack Westover?? Those Jake Bequette pictures have run their course enough is enough. That said: I have no doubt that E Chism would make our PS: but I feel like others are more expendable.

I love everything about EC3 except for his physical ability to produce at an NFL level.

Wes Welker was slow, but could get separation in a phone booth. Have not seen anything like that from Chism so far. Hope he proves me wrong, but not holding my breath.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Also should win if we score more points.

This is the kind of concise, precise, salient analysis I come here for.

 

[mayoclinic]

I aim to please.

E Chism haven't gotten that chance in the regular Offense. I think he would be very good at getting separating: but not beat anybody in a flat out foot race.

Just looking at our Offensive numbers: Maye spreading the Football around will be a pain for any Defense. They can't key on one guy: H Henry is having a awesome year and the Defense is doubling S Diggs. I really hope McDaniels keep the pedal to the metal in his play calling.

Oh look we have visitors from our buddies at Two Bills Drive Stadium Wall. What's up Bills fans!




Delusional... lol. A team wins 10 in a row and their fans on their message board are optimistic about them? You don't say. Lol

B.S. That guy posted what he wished he saw here. The Prairie Cows are getting ample respect from us, no one is predicting a walkover.

If this doesn't move the line a point, there's still plenty of sucker money coming in on Buffalo

Im predicting a multiple score win, whether you consider that a walkover or not is up to you.

Limited Benford? No Bosa to worry about? Unless Josh Allen's playing defense too, the Bills are ****ed.

2 Bills drive issue all season has been, they think Josh Allen Heroball is a sustainable winning formula. It's not only not, it never has been. All the "big game experience" they're 7-6 in the playoffs. I dunno, it's just not that impressive, and i think we've been in the suckitude morass for so long, that a lot of people just checked out on football, and just bought the media narratives.

If you've watched these teams this year, you'll see something very different than "well Josh Allen". Especially Buffalo on the road.
