eball Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 @billsupdates Another must-win game for Bills against Texans (5 things to watch in Week 13) http://ow.ly/VuhcS Speaking of "must win" games, I believe this is their 4th of the season -- they are 3-0 in the first three. The game @ Tennessee was a must win; they were coming off a bad loss to the Giants and could not afford to drop to 2-3. The home game vs. Miami was a must win, and I felt the game @ NYJ was also a must win. I'm on record in my other thread that the game @ KC was important but not crucial. Time to keep that "must win" record perfect, Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to keep that "must win" record perfect, Buffalo. I can't argue that. I could argue the KC was a must win being in the last 6 games and needing to secure a small buffer in the WC hunt. This is a must win or done game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Key to winning this game IMO is a heavy dose of running directly at Watt with Felton lead blocking Make no mistake...the Texans will throw the ball deep and have success just like the Chiefs did. While McCoy is part of the plan, the main plan on offense should be to beat the Texans by outscoring them through the air. Can Roman drop the conservative play calling for a full game? Can Tyrod Taylor have two good halves? Can Tyrod use his legs much more? Can he finally get that elusive "signature" win? Can the Bills defense get a turnover? Can the Bills hold on to the ball? These are the key to winning this game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While McCoy is part of the plan, the main plan on offense should be to beat the Texans by outscoring them through the air. I'm sure they'll try but I don't think Hoyer will have the success Smith had. Smith is a far better QB, despite the fact he usually only throws short. D.Hop is good, probably as good or maybe better than Maclin, but Shorts is JAG as is Strong and Washington. They also don't have anyone like Kelce to take coverage away from the boundaries.

This is not the 2015 Bills defense. The pass rush is not there for numerous reasons. IMO this game will boil down to which combo has the much better game...Hoyer and Hopkins or Taylor and Watkins.

As we've seen with Sammy, taking one WR off the field is not impossible, even for this defense. They did it against Gronk, and he's far more dangerous than Hopkins. But we will see.

Here's my column outlining how stupid that would be http://on.rocne.ws/1XQqHCv via @DandC Texans ‘D’ keeps shorter QBs in pocket They’ve done it more than once this season and with great success. When facing a quarterback that is not of prototype height, Houston’s defense forces the opposing signal caller to stay in the pocket and make throws from there. Shorter QBs sometimes do not have as clear a view downfield when forced to stay in the pocket unless a passing lane opens up, and with the way the Texans can collapse the pocket it makes it supremely difficult to string positive plays together. Just ask Drew Brees. At six-feet tall, Brees often rolls out or manipulates the pocket with his feet to target receivers downfield. Last week, as we covered in our scouting report, the Texans did not allow him to do that. The result was a passing day in which Brees, a career 66 percent completion passer, managed to connect on just under 57 percent of his passes. He also was held without a touchdown pass for the first time in 45 games and threw an interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
