The Bills seem to have trouble with the scripted plays and offense tendency breakers, and then once teams settle into their normal offenses, the Bills play better. Rousseau made a comment about how they knew eventually the Titans would have to start playing their normal offense.
I think the Bills need to do some self scouting and counter some of their defensive tendencies to combat the start of game scripted plays.
They know the soft spots in our zones and most teams seem to have a good handle on our defensive tendencies and can script plays early that just move the chains over and over.
Would like to see a bit more press coverage mixed in to disrupt the timing and a better job defending the flats and screens...just looking for some tendency-breakers... anything other than getting out-schemed early over and over
Once we get up on teams we can dictate more where the ball can go and do a decent job pressuring teams into mistakes, but are in for a long rough game whenever we have played from behind.

Collinsworth started the game slobbering all over Rogers and Devante...and now smoothly switches to polishing Tomlin and the Steelers.

Both starting safeties out Pittsburgh should be taking those shots down field.
Some weak Sauce 😁 rubbed off on that long one
-
Devante has to be thinking so this is what it means to play for the Jets...
Meanwhile back in Buffalo Cooper is thinking so this is what it is like playing for the Bills with a QB like Allen.
I hope Cooper makes the most of his opportunity

Hall reminds me a lot of our Ray Davis, same soft hands and ability to run through tackles and burst.
A bit more top-end speed, but Davis was a nice find where the Bills took him
-
Beanie can play.

Sauce is losing it. he was scrambling all over the place on that coverage
Yep...normally if a DB is just grabbing and wagging his arms across the front of a receiver with his back to the QB they get the DPI.
Sauce has gotten a lot of slack from the league

I think he is with the giants maybe
Yep... Basham and a 7th for a 6th rounder.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Creed Humphrey get beat physically ever.
The IOL of the Chiefs is near impenetrable
And where is Boogie Basham??
That one hurts...Beane whiffed really badly there, but he is not known for taking OL high.
He did move up to get Ford who really struggled for us.
I like Beane, but there have been some misses.

That was the correct call, we were all disappointed but there was nothing bs about it.
I agree he did not have control, but he was getting mugged by that DB who was dragging down the front neck hole of his shoulder pads.
Thought at least we would have gotten a DPI in the EZ.

Must have missed that big 26 yarder he gave up. Other than that, he did his job.
Yeah did not catch that.
Probably gives up a bit in coverage, but like some of the physicality and getting off blocks.
Have been worried that if someone sneezed on him he would get injured.
Just glad to see him getting reps and staying healthy.
We lose LBs all the time in this D so folks should be happy to see the depth guys getting more reps early.

Got his foot stepped on and looked like an ankle
Glad that Spector is finally healthy and had so many starting reps earlier this season.
Bernard is a great player, but not as much of a drop off now when Baylon steps on the field.

I dunno about this defense
Soft against such a bad offense, giving up 3rd down conversions left and right.
Can't defend the flats, but have been opportunistic and have stiffened up in the red zone when needed
They drive me nuts and I would like to see a bit more press to stop those dink and dunk plays, but know that is not our MO with the DBs we have outside of Elam.
They play a lot better when we get the lead, as their scheme leans towards playing light boxes.
Brady figured something out, been pretty unstoppable on offense.
-
It was clear all game long to anyone who understands defense that Rogers was orders of magnitude worse completing any throws when pressured from the pocket.
The Jets were trying to dink and dunk to get the ball out of his hands faster and knowing it was pass the defense was starting to feed and shut them down.
So our defensive geniuses decided to break what was working and rush 2.
Nowhere is that the right decision...giving Rogers all the time in the world for a 50/50 shot at the end zone and what's worse is you know how the officiating was going...you set yourself up for a very real possibility of a PI in the EZ setting them up on the doorstep.
Just dumb, and we need smarter coaching on the defensive side of the ball and some semblance of those coaches having a feel for the game script so they don't do stupid things to hurt the team.

Gag... just too much officiating.
Feels like a few years back when games just got unwatchable.

Another reason why our team should not abandon the run as run blocking is more of a strength of Torrence whereas pass pro was his weakness coming into the league.
That is not to say he will not improve, just that it is a known area that needs improvement that defenses will exploit until he does.
From one of several draft profiles re: weaknesses. Not that far off...
"Can be susceptible to speed rushers. Has only good quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration to corral defenders once they cross his face
Often gets too high in his sets, sacrificing some of his power, and Torrence doesn’t always show great coordination between his upper and lower body when sliding back in pass protection.
Torrence has good overall vision, however, he sometimes misses the block in a scrum. Sometimes a little (slow) to pick up the blitz
He’s often too mechanical as a pass protector, oversetting and getting beat inside" -

McD is very cagey with answers he doesn’t need to protect.
“Is this suspension in regards to last year’s allegation?”
[paraphrased McD] With respect to Von and the suspension I won’t get into the why.
“Coach, can Von be at the facility while under suspension?”
[paraphrased McD] Again, with respect to the process I won’t get into all of that.
How difficult would it be to say “as I understand it, it is in regards to last year, but I won’t go into it much more than that.”
or
”When a player is suspended, he is allowed or not allowed to _______.”
Not difficult, but he basically said I am not going there next question.
I respect that.

I have vented enough on the Ravens game.
I knew it was a bad matchup going in so just move on, turn the page, different opponent, different strategy.
Hoping my Bills bounce back and have a redemption game to get back on track with a great game plan that is well executed.
Looking for the OL and DL to shine this game. It starts up front, always has.

"The Ravens ran out of heavy sets 82% of the time. The Bills gave light box counts on rushing downs (6 or less in the box) on 41.2% of rushing snaps. Heavy box counts only 8.8% of the time."
Just smh.
Nice Joe.
I noticed those wham blocks and our DTs either getting blown off or riden past the plays over and over. They kept going after it like it was a predominantly passing offense and they needed a penetrating style of rush to affect the passer.
Wrong plan for the wrong opponent.
Needed the right box count and disciplined rush contain strategy to keep Lamar and Henry hemmed in and they did neither.
That is on the coaches not the players. I hope they learn and grow from this.

Sean McDermott says he feels the #Bills got away from the run game too early last night against the Ravens, even though it was a double-digit deficit beginning of 2nd quarter.
Oh boy
I agree.
They went one dimensional like they were chasing a 3 score lead in the first half and the Ravens were able to stack the line, pin their ears back, and just rush Allen.
The net result was a lot of 3 and outs and just putting your defense that is reelng back on the field and Allen did not have any time in the pocket.
They gave up on that way too early and I would have featured more gap with Davis as they had too much sideline to sideline speed for those zone runs.
Davis breaks through that stacked box there is a lot of empty in front of him...Cook too.

not sure why we decided to go all passive agasint baltimore to start out with. normally we bring house over and over, maybe because of henry..idk. but in
the 2nd half we were gettin pressure and having results.
do we have a D line?.... where was Ed? where was Von? I seen Groot in the run game but that was about it. some good plays from new comers and
rooks on D.
how is it no matter what we called....which its really hard to say because the camera never does a down field view most of the time, but few times it did...
we had no one past the line of scrimmage. anyway.... no matter there was tight coverage yet our secondary left 10-15 yard cushions
I thought the play calling looked a lot like Dorsey.
some dirty plays from the Ravens. the fingers to the eyes of kincaid and then humphries slamming josh way after he had gotten rid of the ball.
I thought that should have at least...at the least...been a penalty.... (thanks brady for that play)
Maybe the 0-line can quit reading its own press clippings and get to work because they got their ass kicked today. way to many free runners coming after
Josh.
All in all bad coaching, maybe they took baltimore to lightly during the week.
I'm Glad this happened early in the season. Its a good wake up call to players and coaches. wake up and get your ***** together.
Anyone that says if you have a good offense you dont need any window dressing...i call b.s. So many of the Ravens offensive play calls had
some type of twist or misdirection or something to get it just a little bit of an edge and it worked.
Hopefully Brady didnt get Allen killed and he will be ok next week.
Final thoughts...
Bean should get taken to the woodshed for rolling with Bass..I dont care how much history he has with the team..his leg is done.
might as well just designate some player to play back up qb and have an extra player take trubisky spot...he's worse at qb than bass is as a kicker.
Honestly I saw Ed in a head lock from behind and then just drug away from Lamar from behind by the back collar and jersey... No call on Baltimore's interior line.
His jersey is probably a few sizes bigger now.
Yet Edwards drew the hanky on a hold (which was a legit hold).
I am not a fan of holding calls on interior linemen but if you are going to call it, call it both ways.
Our boys were not completely absent up front, but when Henry or Hill got past them they were running by or over our back 7.

As usual, lots of overreaction.
I would say the Bills were a bit out-coached in this one. In retrospect I think they should have crowded the box and dared Baltimore to pass. In fairness the Bills were relying on 2 backup LBs and a backup nickel back who all struggled. Cam Lewis is a huge step down from Taron and he whiffed on a few big plays. Also the Bills are weak at safety and I’m glad Rapp was injured and that the Cole Bishop era has begun. Also in fairness to the Bills, Baltimore is still rolling out their Lamar/Henry offense. There’s not much video except 3 games and that offense is still evolving and adding wrinkles.
The Bills will be fine and in fact teams often grow more after losses than after wins. We’ll probably see these guys in December.
He who laughs last laughs best.
Noticed that with Cam too.
Like he closes his eyes and launches himself. Babich put him in the right place to stop those little outlet passes, but he was slow to get to his spot and whiffed a lot.
Not a lot of help behind him so those misses turned into chunk plays.
We need to get our starters back healthy and let some of the young guys bake a bit more and depth guys go back to those spot duty roles.
Babich and Brady need to figure out how they were both taken to the wood shed as you know Houston will try some of the same things.
Probably more so Brady as the Texans don't present the same offensive problems as Baltimore's Henry and Lamar, but this team has a history of getting into slumps, we need to bounce back quickly.

Even after everything they were actually in decent shape when that busted trick play happened. The play before I was actually thinking how smart it was that Brady was still calling runs and seemingly being patient. They were only down 11 and were driving with lots of time left in the 3rd quarter. Then BAM, Brady hit the eject button.
This.
We have a lot of new faces and depth guys playing starting roles.
OC and DC coaching staff did them no favors with this uninspired game plan that put them behind the 8 ball from the start.
Terrible gadget play call by Brady just when the team was starting to string positive yards together and the defense was getting some stops.
Wrong place, wrong time, so many Raven players crowding the line it was a super risky thing to try that weird flea flicker play at that spot on the field and nearly got Allen killed.
Completely swung the momentum. Maybe something where Allen should have checked out of that too when he saw they were playing so many in the box, but any chance we had was buried there
The young guys will learn, we will get our starters back and some guys that showed why they are depth players will go back to those roles.

Week 7 - Around the NFL
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by WideNine
Woody Johnson is taking a page out of the ol' Daniel Snyder book of how to ruin a franchise.
Just love it when meddling owners take more direct control of our AFC East opponents.
Sign every big name free agent you can find, hope by some obscure miracle that all those egos come together as a team and saddle your team with decades of dead cap.
The Jets could very well be toast for a long time.
We will see if the coaching carousel and big name signings continue through the off-season.
