Bills vs Pats: “pound for pound” teams analysis
Rockinon replied to Italian Bills's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Bills defense is still leading the league in many categories. NE has a strong defense but they are not the better D. And our offense is better. Maybe you can argue some players or positions are better, but no one is playing better team D than Buffalo. If NE wins the next game perhaps I can concede that argument because I also believe Buffalo has the better offense. Until then, Bills win and it ain't even close. -

I am really hopeful we get some starters back on that OL and the Bills offense starts blowing away all comers. Really good time to get hot. -

I love it. The suspense, the long road traveled to get here. NE actually has a chance to take the #1 seed for this week. And the Bills have the opportunity to crush their hopes twice before the playoffs. Good stuff. And there are a bunch of AFC teams within striking distance. It's game on now. -

I'm totally OK with NE being #1 seed and then crushing their hopes 2 times before the playoffs. -

With the Titans loss and what is looking like a Colts loss the AFC is so wide open. Love it. -

Oh you mean the game where Josh has 4 TDs and connected on over 80% of his passes? Yea, that's the game. Get your smack talk in now. It'll be short lived. -

11/21/21 Gameday Colts@Bills Pregame Thread
Rockinon replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
There is no doubt you have some legit concerns. That defensive line is good and they have been coming on in recent games. No doubt they are going to try to wreck Buffalo's OL. It's their only option because their secondary sucks. I have no doubt the Bills have a game plan for this team that will exploit the secondary and put up points. My guess is that there will be additional blockers. There will be plays designed to freeze defenders so they can't just blitz. Buffalo has had a couple of stinkers, offensively, but I'm pretty confident, they have a good plan in place this week. -

11/21/21 Gameday Colts@Bills Pregame Thread
Rockinon replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Bills figured some things out last week with the pass game. It wasn't all Brown back in the lineup. Josh played a lot less shotgun and took many more snaps under center, setting up better runs and better play action. There was a major shift in how they were playing offense. I think you are going to see that OL beefed up even with Brown and Feliciano out. More TEs or linemen. Saw some of that last week. The 2 deep safeties don't scare me against this team. They have some major issues in that secondary. -

Rockinon replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Both of their safeties are injured. Starting CB Xavier Rhodes has given up big plays deep, allowing a passer rating of 146.8 when targeted on passes of 10 air yards or more. All they have to do is protect Josh. A sixth lineman and sling that rock. Who cares about Jonathon Taylor if you can throw for 400yds. Indianapolis has allowed more passing touchdowns than any other team in football, surrendering 23 in their first 10 games. Everyone keeps saying this is a tough matchup for Buffalo. Umm, Looks to me that this is a tough matchup for Indy. -
Week 11 Colts Week — predict the score
Rockinon replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall
I do believe Buffalo's run defense is underrated. They do enough to slow the run down and there is no way that Wentz is going to lead that team to even 20pts. Bills coast to an easy victory. Bills 34 Colts 13 -
Milano I think is playing. He's practicing. Edmunds, don't know. He could wake up tomorrow and be fine or still feel the hammy. I'm more worried about Brown. Gotta keep Allen clean so he can work his magic.
-
I agree. If I am not mistaken, they have some receivers that can get deep. Keep them contained and force that short pass game while playing good gap integrity, and we win this game easily. Really glad we have the best safety tandem in the NFL.

I wouldn't say Beasley is a clean route runner. Some of those cuts he makes are down right filthy.

11/14/21 Postgame Thread: Bills at Jets
Rockinon replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not disagreeing or arguing. I've just been on a bit of rant over RPOs lately that started before this game. One of the things that was really irking me is that it was effecting the run game and the RBs in particular. Josh would take the snap, stick the ball in a RBs gut while keeping both hands tight on the ball, trying to decide whether the hand it off or keep it himself. The poor running back has no choice but to stop, wait for Josh to let go of the ball so he could start running again. That's what got me paying attention to the RPOs more closely in the 1st place and the more I watched it just seemed to snowball in to even more distaste. Sorry if I came off a little strong. No disrespect intended. I'm just not a big fan of that play call. At least not if it's being used too often. Last year it was working very well. This year not so much. -
11/14/21 Postgame Thread: Bills at Jets
Rockinon replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
That's the way I used to think of it. But those plays have been blown up repeatedly in recent weeks and the issue is that they often end with Josh getting hit behind the line of scrimmage. If he doesn't escape, that's a sack. Also, if you were watching this game, the RPOs were rarely used if at all. Also, it's very clear, the play calling was much different in this game. I admit that the design of the RPO is how you describe, but it is still a pass option. And if nobody is crossing the line of scrimmage, what do you think the OL is belatedly going to try to do? Continue to run block? Every play has it's benefits and flaws. The point is that it was far over used and new play calls were needed. -

Rockinon replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I was saying before this game, that the RPOs were killing the run game and the offense as a whole. The thing that stood out to me is that run plays were run plays and pass plays were pass plays. Those option plays left the OL not knowing whether to pass block or run block and were killing the offense. RPOs are a nice wrinkle, but the offense was using then way too much. It's really no surprise that the Bills offense exploded against the Jets. All they really needed was to get back to some good play calling. Of course, having Knox and Brown back factored in too. Overall though, I think the RPOs were hanging the OL out to dry and Josh too, for that matter. When the play call is a run the OL can fire off a block as soon as the ball snaps. When a play is a pass, the OL can focus on protecting the QB. The offense still has some work to do, but I think they have discovered what hasn't been working and then executed in this game. The play action is nice to see. The different run looks were too. Liking what I see.
