We are on to the Billdos

[NormZauchin]

What's Rob Johnson doing these days? LOL

Rob (the man whom Wade Phillips started in place of Doug Flutie) Johnson?

Today we could find out who fills Devlin’s roster spot.

That can't be right. The PATs are only allowing 15.41 yards per drive.

Bills will sell out to stop the run and make us one dimensional. They won't bite on the PA's like the Jets did and will try to force us into playing the vertical game against them. They will have someone ready to match up on White when he motions out wide. I think we'll see a continuation of the pony formation, with either or both RBs motioning out.

I expect a low scoring game. McDermott's Bills are playing an overtly simple but mistake-free defense. They almost never tip their hands- and this sometimes frustrates Brady. I expect a lot of motioning, stacking, and bunch sets to stress the Bills DB corp.

If I were BB, I would be putting Wino in spy on Allen and chase him down if he uses his feet. Their OL has been up and down, and it's very important that we make Allen think he has no time, because once he gets into that mentality, he starts making mistakes, starts taking to his feet and forcing throws.

As good as the Bills appear to be, they still make plenty of mistakes as they did with the Bengals and I think that's not going to stop and we'll capitalize on them as usual.

I agree with the post, but shouldn't the first sentence read: Bills will sell out to stop the Pass...? Because as the second sentence reads, they won't bite on play-action, nor should they. I would sell out not to stop the run, but to stop the pass, because our running game simply isn't worthy of Barfalo's - or anybody's - respect right now.

and the jills aren't even 2nd, they are 5th

Watching Bills/Bengals last night. Bengals had some success running counter. I could see Rex getting some touches early on bc he has that quick, nifty lil jump cut that really complements the play.

Bills ran a ton nub sets. Ran a lot through & featured him last game. Definitely expect more of that.

Johnson & Milano (loved him coming out) are probably two most important defenders imo. Johnson is a very underrated CB that can hang w 11 if he plays & Milano is a dog. Such a pleasure to watch. Great story big fan. Dude is the epitome of a professional. Such a hard worker. So disciplined irl & in football. One of the good guys w amazing instincts. Makes all the difference in the world when hes in there.

Beasley was a huge get for Buffalo. Allen absolutely needs a safety blanket where he can look to quick on hot reads or just get the ball out quicker as opposed to chucking it a mile. 24 will most likely be across from Brown most of the day. I really think they try work more Beasley & Knox into this game.

Foster is really their only playmaker in terms of beating you deep. I'm sure he'll light up like a neon signs to our DBs.

Last year it was all abt manipulating the attack to confuse Allen & containing him in the pocket. At times we'd purposely over run our edge defenders only to have DBs or LBs coming in on a delayed wave. Basically the same idea in coverage. Have it look one way before switching it up.

We played almost 90% man last game compared to around 60% v Pitt & 45% NYJ. I think we see a lil more zone looks disguised as man. Idk the way our D is locked in I think Bill trust them to play man all game but w Allen's legs & the willingness to work the short/intermediate game. I'd say we go closer to 50%.

Nice work...thanks Bacon !

Where is this guy getting his info? He's wrong about yards per drive and 3 & out Pats are #1 in both

Damn, Myrtle Beach missed Pats game by a 16th of an inch. Will be heading to Dagwoods sports bar once again.

I would sell out not to stop the run, but to stop the pass, because our running game simply isn't worthy of Barfalo's - or anybody's - respect right now.

And selling out to stop the pass is what - six or seven DBs? Or sending the house? Because either of those scenarios favor the Patriots.

If the Bills go that light they will be run on, maybe not by Sony, but even our current OL can run against a "sell out against the pass" alignment - that's where they've actually had their success on the ground so far.

If they send everyone, I'll take one on one man coverage with Gordon all day or more leaker plays like the one to Izzo last week. Against zone, Dorsett has been having a field day finding soft spots so far this season.

Buffalo has to execute their base defense well defending the run to the same effect the Jets and Steelers did, adding in rushing four and get to Brady to win. "Sell out" options significantly increase the risk of huge plays against.

Yeah, and they are #1 with a bullet. They are waaaaay ahead of everyone else.

You could argue that selling out to stop the pass (or at least gameplanning to deal with that first) is why Burkhead has been able to have success running the ball to the tune of 4.7 yards per carry. I'm guessing if they sell out to stop the pass with Michel in the game, he'll do a lot better than he has.
