Italian Bills

I can not disagree at all. It’s something belonging to this Franchise, at this point.

Because, maybe, he’s just another “normal” reason, not the main one that i talked about.

Every aspect you bros have mentioned is correct. Bad rush defense, bad OL, very bad backs and running game, Daboll, Frazier… and some of you said McDermott too. We had great expectations at the beginning of the season.. media thought we were one of the SB favorite .. great offense with a MVP caliber QB, great receivers, great defense over all. Ok, we knew we were lacking at backs position.. but maybe not that bad.. and anyway we had Josh Allen, our MVP caliber QB. I always thought that in order to become a SB contender, everything start with the QB position and honestly i still think we have one of the top 5. Maybe top 3. But, but, but … to me, the main problem to this team is the lack of BALLS and GRITTY ATTITUDE. And i didn’t start thinking like that right after the MNF loss, i always had this feeling about this team. We could compete against every team… we have the talent to be a 10-2 team at this moment, a 9-3 at worst, but we are 7-5 because we lost some game because our softness. And this is not something you can fix… or you have it, or you don’t, i mean the mental strength to play every game and every snap like if it was the last one, a snap that can win or lose a game. The best teams in every sports have always few players, leaders by example, that drag the rest of the team.. and this beside the talent. Of course many of you won’t agree with me, i totally respect that, but this is my personal point.

Let’s play quick e short… if the wind will really be so heavy, play to gain 3/4 yards per attempt and not deep downfield with no control at all.

Well… obviously we all know the “weight” about tonight game vs the Pats but after the sunday’s putcome it gained more and more importance. We are 5th at 7-4 and with the wins of Pitts and KC all the four ahead of us in the Conference standing are 8-4. Winning tonight would be beyond than huge… i can say crucial for our moment and season expectations. After yesterday scores tonight we can’t really miss the chance to regain the lead the Division first and the credit in the Conference and League. We are the better team ? Everybody here think yes, me too, but almost everybody here is really worried about the tonight result. Josh and company will feel the high stake too… i really hope they will be able to play in control of their emotion, using all their energies on the field playing a great and smart game, don’t having any regret at the end. The refs ? Well… let’s stop to think little and start thinking big, we can control our future tonight and playing a great game won’t let the refs control it. But we must play a very smart game, without stupid mistakes. We play at home, in our house, supported by almost 70k great fans, the very best in sport, let’s make this day a day to remember like the ones of the Marv, Kelly and Bruce time. LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BILLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ! Let’s make us proud of you guys !!!!!!!

Great to see many of you loved the no huddle O and that think it could work for us. Let’s scary defenses with this super aggressive scheme letting them know that we always play for their throat!

Kenneth Davis maybe.

To me, Breida can catch the ball.

Who knows… maybe with the no huddle our backs would benefit thanks to that and would play better…

Yes… Allen should have more freedom to call plays here and there, based in what he’s seeing in the fiele and feeling at the moment. The no huddle would speed up our rhythm and create tons of troubles for defenses. But i agree that maybe, to do that, you need a couple of very good backs. I just remember very well the excitement during our drives… it was a beauty to see and enjoy. Let’s take back that strenght to our Bills !!!

You right… maybe it’s risky, but exactly like you said, i mean that is something we could use more, not always, to give defenses less time to adjust and harass Allen.

I began watching football in late 80ies, i remember when the Bills were feared for the no huddle offense. I’m wondering if this could be a way to give us a more dangerous offense. Personally i would love to use it very much more, to speed up the rhythm could affect defenses sets and, avoid the pressure on Allen and give us a different option on offense. What you think ? And again, we have the right men to use the no huddle offense ?

Thanks God you really understood what i meant in my post. Of curse i didn’t mean to go for it on a 4th and 5 or 6… if not that you are down by a TD with the game on the line. I just meant to play every possession with this mindset, thinking you have 4 attempts and not three to get the 10 yards. You will focus on get less than 3 yards per attempt and that could be very different. At the same time the defense would be stressed much more knowing that has to defend for 4 times and not three.

Every time i watch a Bills game, i think this: if i was the HC i would say to my offensive players to play always thinking they have four attempts and not three to get the first down, when they are in opponent’s territory. I know that lately, always more frequently, we see teams go for it on fourth and one… but i’m talking about having always the mindset to have four attempts and not three to gain the ten yards. I think it could be mentally different play like this.. it would help to know that you have to get less than three yards per attempt on every down to get the first down. What you think ?

😅

Totally agree with you. I once was a soccer ultras, i’m talking when i was in my 20ies and i just remember how much i was stupid at home and away games in Italy and across Europe stadiums. Now i’m 50 and fortunately it’s long time i forgot how to be that stupid. Let’s not cross the limits.

Can you approximately say the numbers of cheaters will attend the game live ? Just curious to know your thought..

I’m from deep north Italy so i know very well winter conditions, snow and wind, today here was sunny but 27f. You call me crazy but Monday night i hope for a super cold night with some snow and no wind at all. Do they have better backs ? So let it snow and relate to passing game, where we have a top five QB and great wideouts.

Ok… based on your lines it seem it will be a massacre… something like 40-10/17 Pats.

Please.. don’t get to this point… if we play our A game and cut stupid mistakes, we have great chances to win the game beside the refs. But i feel you… maybe McDermott must consider to be less amenable if something happen.

Very good point: the very first two or three possessions will be crucial in the game outcome.

60/40 is ok to me… considering the way we are playing lately … not so good at all.

Agree on Judon to be a very good player. I’m wondering at what McDermott and Daboll and Frazier will do this week to have the right game plan for this game: to me two main things: protect Allen and hunt Jones almost every snap.

He’s a LB… the right comparison is with Milano, Edmund and Klein. I was talking the true DL.

Your honest prediction ? Gimme your cut. Mine is 65/35 Bills.
