Yes they did in the 1st half. You said Baltimore sold out to stop the run in the 2nd half- That's exactly my point: Why are the bills slamming into heavy man boxes time after time? If they mixed in play action more and took a few more shots in the 2nd half, I think the bills would have won this one easily

Not really- go back to that game. There were a lot of early down runs and the bills were in 3rd and long a ton . Josh was a magician that game

Believe me, i am very familiar with the Joe Brady offence and the everybody eats. One week against Detroit they attack their linebackers, then maybe against the jets you attack them with the run game. I 100 percent understand how he works. Why do you feel like this game plan will be different against the Chiefs? Ravens have the number 1 rush defence and the bills ran a ton on them. Both when they were trailing, tied or leading. So yes the conservative offence has me a bit concerned- Because why should I feel like they are suddenly going to air the ball out? especially when their last 3 playoff games going back to last year, says they want to keep things tighter towards the chest

For sure, all valid points- I definitely see what Joe Brady was trying to do. I just disagree with it- As I think trying to sit on a 11 point lead with 30 minutes to go against the number 1 offence, is a dangerous game to play.

So you are saying you think Joe Brady and Josh Allen were satisfied with 6 points and around 110 yards in the 2nd half?

When did I ever say the bills offence isn't good? It's top 3 in the NFL. All I said was they didn't play well against Baltimore and they need to play better against KC. Especially in the 2nd half. I'm not too sure why there's such a panic when there is mild criticism towards the bills, especially when the point is pretty objective . 6 points in the 2nd half, with barely over 100 yards. Is that considered good to you?

Per the bolded- The ravens strength is their rush D. Number 1 in the nfl if I'm not mistaken . So when you say the bills were exploiting the opponents weakness and us posters don't "understand that", respectfully your point doesn't make sense- Considering they were continuing trying to run against the ravens strength and got very little in the 2nd half. The results in the 2nd half ? Only one 1st down in the 3rd quarter- 6 total points in the 2nd half- And barely over 100 yards in the 2nd half. You think that's a good game plan? Or do you believe it was poor execution? Cause objectively , the 2nd half offence wasn't good at all and it almost cost them the game

If bills offence plays like that again, they will lose by multiple scores. Mahomes/KC isn't turning the ball over 3 times like Baltimore

Theres context behind all those games and you cant just look at the points. (31 points against Miami, 3 turnovers, with one pick 6) The jags one I would say that was the only one that they were aggressive . I hope you're right

The conservative offence worries me a bit. It kind of reminds me of the first 6 or so games of the season. Against KC, going to have to open it up more and put the game in your superstar QBs hands

Just googled some stats and saw some clips of the Texans game. Good mix of 4 and 5 man pressures from Houston . Mahomes passer rating against the blitz since week 12, is 81.6 (25th in the nfl) and 32nd in completion percentage at 56.3 percent. I definitely stand by my original point even more after seeing those stats- Bills definitely have to send some 5 man pressures in some key situations- As it has given Mahomes a lot of issues the last 6 games or so

Correct me if I'm wrong- But didn't Houston blitz a fair amount last week? I know for sure they did at times and it definitely gave the chiefs some problems. (Including the play with the "roughing the passer" call when Mahomes missed Kelce) I just don't know the frequency at the top of my head in which they did it

Would feel much better if it was in orchard park- As the chiefs are extremely tough to beat in arrowhead, and the bills don't have a road playoff win in the McDermott era. But it's still a winnable game. And if the bills play their A game, they are heading to New Orleans

We will see. Bills blitzed/spyed Mahomes and played way more man against them in the previous match up, and it worked good for the most part. In an ideal world, you get pressure with 4 of course. I just don't think Bills can just sit back and rush 4 though- As Mahomes will have all day and will pick them apart

I hear you- But Lamar was also insane against the blitz before the Bills game. His stats when the Bills blitzed him according to Joe marino? 6 for 12 for 99 yards with an INT His stats when he wasn't blitzed? Something like 12 for 13 for around 150 yards and 2 TDs. Moral of my point is- The front 4 isn't good enough to get consistent pressure, and I think they will have to lean into sending 5 guys a fair amount of the time

If the bills lose this game, I want them to go down swinging. Offence: Admittedly I'm a bit concerned with the heavy run approach. I think it's going to be a long day at the office if the bills try to run as much as last week. Even though the Bills were very productive against the chiefs the last meeting, I feel a lot of that was Josh bailing them out of 3rd and longs- Will be hard to replicate that in Arrowhead Josh needs 30-35 drop backs IMO Defence: Love how much they blitzed Baltimore. (48 percent of drop backs) Lets hope Bobby B keeps dialing up pressures. assuming they get their guys back, I think this Bills defence matches up pretty well against KC

Interesting. Milano also posted the next day on his Instagram which is probably a good sign. (Grasping for straws here lol) So you got to think everything is ok? Let's hope

It was really strange- Saw the replay last night. His last play happened and then I believe it was the 2 minute warning. So I'm not sure if it was a fatigue issue, since he would have had rest after the 2 minute warning, unless he truly had nothing left. But the weird part when he was out- I saw him on the sidelines with his helmet on. Not near the injury tent or anything. So who knows what happened, bit of a strange one

Cold and in the 20s? You Americans crack me up sometimes😉feels like -30 (Celsius) where I am now. But I know it's all relative- As if you were in a colder climate then moved to a warmer one, then in the 20s would feel a lot colder to your point

Fair- so we are in agreement with that then. We just disagree with the "definition of", who played better Anyways, thrilled with the W. We can definitely agree on that and go Bills

We have a difference in our definition on who was the better team then. If you look at it at the lens of- The bills didn't make mistakes and made 3 massive plays. Fair. I look at it as there are around 120 plays in the football game. Baltimore was better in the vast majority of those plays. The difference was 3 the big plays. Do you at least agree with that assessment?^

That's literally my point and I even referenced KC as an example earlier . I'm taking nothing away from the bills as they got a massive W and they didn't shoot themselves in the foot. And let's be honest, finally got a little bit of a break . All I'm saying is Baltimore for the majority of the game, was the Better team. They out gained them by 140 yards ... lol. What I'm saying here gentleman is not a hot take . I could also careless that Baltimore was the better team, cause at the end of the day getting the win is all that matters

Two completely different games. 13 seconds was a back and forth even game. Yesterday Baltimore dominated every category except turnovers- Which was the difference. Credit to the bills for making those plays for sure, not denying that

So you are basically saying every time a team wins, they automatically outplay the other team?

I am giving the defence credit for making plays. The bigger question is- Why can't people acknowledge that Baltimore out played the bills? Its ok to say that and still Be thrilled with the win. KC gets out played in like 70 percent of their wins lol
