    If the Bills re-sign Edmunds, they're stupid.

    Yes, this is from last week. I'm sure something will come out in due time for yesterday's game as well. There are also breakdowns available from other games throughout this season. Lets make this perfectly clear one last time. This isn't subjective. This is proven expert analysis of a man who understands the roles and responsibilities of all NFL defenses, let alone the Bills. Look at his body of work. Take the time. Its not something you can really have an opinion on. Edmunds had by far his best season in 2021. He's not elite and may never be, but he's in the upper echelon and certainly accomplishes what the team needs him to do. Barring an unforseen regression or injury next year, he's staying a Bill beyond that. Period. Deal with it.

     

    The man just covered a WR in man coverage and was on him like glue.  I'm not sure how many LB's in the NFL would be able to handle that, but I doubt it is very many.

    Once again... Edmunds is close, but fails. 

     

    I'm not talking about the touchdown... I'm talking 3rd and 3, he penetrates and fails to make the tackle. 

     

    He is good. But he is not an impact LB. 

     

    Against the pass he absolutely is.  I suggest you get a better understanding of what his role is in the Bills D.  You clearly don't seem to have that.

    Bills finished 6th in rushing(5th in YPC) and 11th in passing

    Please stop with these "Here is our overall stat from the entire season so there must not be a problem" posts. The cumulative stats tell us NOTHING.

     

    If folks dont see a huge consistency problem with the way our Offense operates then that's on you.

     

    Decision making and playcalling in very specific times is the issue. Not the overall stats that were heavily padded by a few blowouts against cupcakes.

     

    The only place where we struggle to run the ball well is inside the redzone, which is something that needs to be addressed either via playcalls or via offensive line.

    The biggest gripe people will have is that nearly 40% of the rushing is done by our QB. He attributed 770 yards out of 2210 total rush yards this year. Situationally it’s fine of course, but our lead rusher Singletary had only 100 more yards than Josh. 
     

    Honestly i just wish we could execute runs when needed by the guys employed to do so. Devin has looked great this year when he can be consistently used. Moss hasn’t been the same back since his injury last year (something I think people gloss over or forget entirely). 
     

    Despite his 4.6 YPC, nobody fears Singletary. I’m not sure why he isn’t more heavily involved, but I suspect it may do with his butterfingers he has the previous 2 years. We all know McD hates fumbles.
     

    Moss is like Frank Gore was for us… if you need 2 yards, he will get 2 yards. If you need 4 yards, he will get you 2 yards. He won’t fumble though!

     

    Breida is there. That’s about it.

     

    Welcome to the new NFL.  Get used to it.

    The issue is we have trouble running the ball in obvious running situations.  Allen's scrambles in passing situations account for the strong rushing numbers.  But that's not a sustainable approach to offense in the playoffs.

     

    Just not born out in any situation really...only times when we have 1st and under 10 yards to go.

     

    On 1st and 10, we rushed 193 times for 849 yards, 4.4 YPC

    On 2nd and 1-3, we averaged 4.1 YPC 

    On 2nd and 4-6, we averaged 4.8 YPC

    On 2nd and 7-9, we averaged 5.8 YPC. 

     

    The only place we were poor in running the ball was in the redzone and especially inside the opponent 10 yard line where we averaged 3.3 YPC and 2.2 YPC respectively.  That's where we need to improve.  On rushes between the 20's we averaged over 5 YPC

    This Bills team might be the best ever. Numbers don't lie. But they need to finish.

    27th in allowing Rushing TD

    15th against the Run

     

    They have been manhandled by teams with a good to great Rushing attack.   They got to fix that to be successful.

    On offense, they have to fix their Redzone offense.  It has been very average.

     

    No they don't. They simply just have to play well on offense and the teams won't be able to run the ball because we will be scoring every drive and not punting.

    You need to be able to run, but it's a passing league. The best qbs usually win the big games.

     

    Bills are 6th in the NFL in rush yards. News flash for the people who claim we can't run.

    Everything can happen in the NFL, the upsets are behind every corner, if you play sloppy and soft, you lose with the Jets, the Jags, you lose against the worst teams, see the Colts. 
    But let’s be honest (not cocky): we are clear the best team in every area, but the running game… maybe. We have better receivers, better D, better QB by millions of miles, if healthy a very good OL that if not better, on the same level. 
     

    McD and BB don’t throw, don’t run and don’t block, at the very end everything is on the players. We play at home, with almost 70k crazy fans there… so why i have to be scared ? If both team will play its A game, the best team will prevail and the best team is the Bills. 
     

    We don’t have to beat a better team, we have to beat a worse one, so let’s get the job done. Of course Josh have to fix some late issue he had. With him performing great, how could we lose ? And i’m not cocky, just honest. 
     

     

     

    Do people realize the Bills are 6th in the NFL in rushing yards? The run game is a lot better than people think in reality. Some of that is due to Allen but once they started using edge runs more often and not these up the middle or shotgun draws like they did the first half of the year, the run game started producing a lot better.

     

    Bates has been a revelation at guard.

    To be honest no i don't i am a casual fan not into breaking it all down apparently like you are but with that being said i just know given his talent & size i don't get why he isn't better against the run .

     

    All the so called "Experts" say this is a passing league & yes we can see that it has become that but then there are those teams like the Titans & coaches like Belichek the have the ability & players to change their game plan like he did in the first meeting with the Bills & that wasn't pretty .

     

    I believe no matter that the league is becoming a passing league you still need a above average run game to win the big game ! Every one that has won the SB has had such a running game & i believe that they underestimate having a really good RB & Run game it's all a big part of the puzzle to winning a SB .

     

    Mainly because he has a tendency to over pursue and leave cut back lanes open. He also gets caught up in the trash a lot and has trouble getting out of it.

     

    The D Line needs to handle the run better and not allow gaping holes for RBs to run through. They aren't great against the run but they aren't anywhere near as poor as some would have you believe. And their ability to limit passing yards and big chunk plays more than makes up for their ability to defend the run.

     I care.  We do terrible against the run teams, look at the first New England game (3 passes) or the Tennesse game.  Winter weather and wind kills passing, why running is so critical in the playoffs.   We end up playing against Derrick Henry it could get ugly.

     

    If you remember last year's playoff games we clamped down on the run pretty well. Taylor had not much until the 4th quarter when they were down by multiple scores and we started playing the pass.

     

    Baltimore did not much on the ground either.

    He definitely ain't no London Fletcher but they could have done worse ! I know the Bills like to sigh their own but not sure if he is worth his draft status .

     

    I have often wondered since the Bills drafted him & seeing as he played OLB in college are the Bills playing him in the wrong spot & would he be better suited & have more production at OLB rather than ILB ?

     

    All the "Experts" say he is a gifted athlete but by putting him in a position that he may not be as well suited for could they be better off moving him to see what effect if any that could have on his production .

     

    The Bills are rated #1 on D but with what they say about him & given the skepticism/expectations of the Bills Mafia i don't know why they wouldn't try moving him around a bit if for nothing else just to see if he may have more production .

     

    Dude...do you not understand how important Edmunds is to their pass D and preventing big plays with his ability to drop deep and cover huge amounts of ground in the middle of the field when they go to Cover 2?

     

    It's like people have no idea how he is used and why he is so valuable to the defense. He basically forces QBs to make perfect throws into much smaller windows than they are accustomed to having due to his athleticism and length.

     

    Yeah he might not be great against the run. Who cares? It's a passing league.

    Gonna have to the beat Pats in round 1 and KC in round 2, unless Pittsburgh somehow manages a miracle win on the road vs KC.

     

    The revenge tour continues.

     

     

    I give Pittsburgh about a 0.0000008% chance of winning against KC. They got thrashed a few weeks ago by the Chiefs.

    Keys to Pats v Bills

    The first key is the Bill's ability to tackle and force New England into 3rd and Longs.  If New England is able to control time of possession and effectively run the ball, dink and dunk, and keep Allen on the bench, the Bills have an uphill battle. 

     

    The second key is to be effective in the Red Zone.  If the Bills can get up on top quickly and neutralize the Pats running game, the Bills should have the advantage.

     

    Lastly, the Bills need a balanced attack. 

     

    They didn't even control possession really in the first game. They ran all those times and still only had the ball for 2 minutes more than the Bills.

    Dugger has a hand issue he should play. Baremore I am more worried about he couldn’t put any pressure on that leg when he left the game.  I think Baremore going to be a beast in this league… 

    For everyone of those he has 4 drops that hit him in the numbers.. (exaggerating) he just been highly inconsistent this year. 

     

    Jonnu is super athletic but his football instincts aren't there...he burned us with Tennessee for a 70+ yard TD on a TE screen a few years ago, and you watch that and think he should be one of the best TEs in the NFL with his athletic ability but he just isn't.

    Ok from the enemy side trying be rational:

     

    Bills:

     

    Allen — just needs be the Allen of this year and last year. As long as he doesn’t struggle with accuracy  (which he has a few times this year) the Bills should roll on the Pats D

     

    RUN — If he does struggle, just run the football. The Pats literally just gave up almost 200 yards to the 31st rank rushing O.

     

    Pats

     

    Defense — has to step up big time! No more being gashed on obvious run downs and definitely need play better in the secondary. (I expect Bryant to be picked on again all day)

     

    Offense — Run Harris and Stevenson a lot but also do PA Passes on 1st or 2nd and short. They can’t be predictable.

     

     

    all and all the Bills should win and it would take a clunker performance by them for the Pats to steal a victory. This is exactly the record I expected for my Pats and I wish they were facing Ann inexperienced Cincy team that could get caught flat footed.

     

    Key to the Pats is to try and hide Mac Jones as long as possible.

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/index.htm#:~:text=Team Records%2C Leaders%2C and League Ranks Table , 6 7 more rows

     

    By the numbers the Bills haven't had a team this good in the NFL, well, ever. The only team that compares is the 1964 AFL champion team that played in a league of 8 teams.

     

    The 2021 Bills hold the following league wide rankings:

     

    #1 Scoring defense

    #1 Yardage defense

    #3 Scoring offense

    #5 Yardage offense

    #1  Scoring differential

    #1 Yardage differential

     

    That is four #1 rankings. No team in franchise history has held the #1 spot in more than two of the above categories with the exception of the 1964 AFL champion team. That team had a clean sweep of #1 in all six categories.

     

    They also set the franchise record for scoring differential and they only needed 16 games to set the record.

     

    But the theme of this season is finishing. The 2021 Bills either finished a team early or failed to finish a team all together. We know this team went 0-5 in one score games. We should be talking about another 3 loss Bills. 11-6 simply doesn't have any of the bravado of 14-3. Until the team learns how to finish there will be doubt regarding their greatness. So now it is time for these Bills to finish and leave no doubt as to where they rank in franchise history. 

     

    Which is crazy because last year they were tremendous in one score games going 5-0.
