Ravens for myself. I don't want the bengals in the playoffs as a potential first round matchup

Cinci is a high variance team for sure, but they still are a dangerous team IMO. Would not want to face them in the playoffs

What does it matter if you stop the big play if you let up 9-14 play drives that results in TDs? Thats even worse than giving up a big play as it keeps Josh on the sideline and you let the underdog team shorten the game

Oh sorry, ya I agree about Coleman, I don't think he will play against Indi either You didn't list cooper in your post as one of the pass catchers, so I was saying I think there's a decent chance he plays Sunday💪 let's hope at least

I wouldn't rule out cooper quite yet. McDermott on Monday said he's day to day and he practiced in limited yesterday, so I would say it's 50/50 he plays

Defences adapted and went more small so a lot of teams (one being the bills) adapted by going more heavy with 21 and 12 personnel. But I do agree that I would like to see the bills a bit more in spread as I think that's where Josh Allen is at his best

I don't know if you remember the bills Seahawks game in 2020 in Buffalo. When the bills won like 48-31 or something. That was one of my favourite defensive game plans even though they let up a lot of points and got burned on some plays. It was super aggressive, created 2-3 turnovers and a lot of key third down sacks. Personally I wish they would attack like that more often, especially with Josh Allen as the QB. Cause if you give up a big play it's not the end of the world as you have a super star QB to answer But you're right it is a moot point - As bills defence under McDermott will predominantly be "rush 4, make offences stack play after play"

And the part that he forgot to talk about was we didn't even stop the pass either haha. Tua sliced us all game long

I agree with a lot of what you said, but respectfully disagree with the last part. Josh is the best QB in the stadium, maybe except when they play the chiefs. And what's the way to beat great offences/QBs? Keep them on the sidelines, which is what the bills defence allows teams to do to Josh To put it this way: Bills had only 8 possessions against Miami. When it comes to the bills , I like my odds better when the game is longer with more possessions, not shorter Because that means more possessions for the superior QB. (Josh in this case)

From what I remember- wasn't he asked to play 1 tech a lot in 2020 with the bills which isn't his natural position? So hopefully a return to 3 tech will go better as I believe he's been pretty descent since leaving

I usually love his all 22s, but this one was a bit bizarre. He talked about how the Bills conceded the run and used "EPA" to back up that it was a smart move. I disagree, but ok. But.. Then didn't mention anything at all about the bills getting gashed in the passing game as well. If bills conceded rushing yards but only gave up 150 passing yards, ok.. But that wasn't the case and Tua was slicing and dicing them all game long

Yep. Which is why I will always be in the camp of I would rather be more aggressive and get burned the odd time, compared to "death by 1000 cuts" and keeping Josh on the sideline. I feel like the Bills game plan like underdogs a lot of the time, even though they are 6 plus point favourites

Haha true. So we gave up the run, gave up the easy 5-15 yard passes, and even still let up a "should have been" big play lol

The part I have a problem with is - if you are gonna concede the run, at least take away the pass. They got ran on for 150 yards and Tua had 3 incompletions in 28 attempts. We stopped the big play though, cool...

Blatant false start

True, I was more saying if it went to OT though. I would have played to win there

Another blunder to kick it off there. make him return it to kill 5-7 seconds.

Bowles botched that whole sequence. Calls the timeout too early and doesn't go for two

Go for two...

Mahomes pulling his inner Ben roethlisberger

Big shocker, he's fine.

One of his points was the bills run offence was "better" per yards in per carry I don't know how that has any relevance to the bills rushing defence. I was not talking about the bills rushing offence, I was talking about the rushing defence. I don't get how that has any relevance .

Yep agreed. I don't mind the philosophy of playing two deep for the most part. But I do wish they mixed in more run blitzes and a few more simulated pressures. Just seemed way too predictable and passive

Yep I agree. Just wanted to share the confirmation essentially
