Welp ladies and gents, it’s game day and I have a few thoughts to get off my chest about this matchup.
If we see the same team from ever since the end of the bye week, might as well not play the game at all because we haven’t been competitive in any of those games except for the jaguars who are one of if not the worst team in football.
I think the one area where we should have an advantage is the coaching. In 2001 that team had zero expectations because they had a young qb after the starter went down and didn’t play particularly well early in the season. BB is great at making game plans to stop opposing offenses, he did it against the Steelers on the road, did it against Kurt Warner, marshall Faulk and the greatest show on turf.
I think the pressure isn’t so much on mac as it is the defense because let’s be real, Josh Allen pansed this defense in week 16. He made throw after throw after throw and our secondary looked slow and clueless. Mac has room to make a mistake and not play a perfect game if the defense bails him out. There have been multiple opportunities since the bye where we’ve been down and this defense simply could not make a play. For example, if Hightower doesn’t make that play on Matt Ryan in super bowl 51, we don’t win that game. There have been multiple opportunities where This team has been trailing and the defense couldn’t get a stop.
The bills in week 16 just completely dictated the terms of the game. If we had a Tom Brady maybe we could afford to have the defense play a bad game because the offense can pick up the slack. The fact of the matter is, mac is still a rookie and you can’t rely on him to match Josh Allen dinking and dunking on the field. So if the defense finds a way to slow this buffalo offense, we have a chance but if Josh Allen does what he did in week 16, we’re done for. The key is to slow the game down.
Finally it seems like For years whenever we would play the bills, they would make really stupid mistakes and we would take advantage of them and spank them. Unfortunately here recently buffalo has been the team who’s not making the mistakes and we’re doing the dumb things other teams used to do against us like penalties and costly turnovers.
Hopefully we play mistake free football
