YoloinOhio Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Less man coverage? I know Darby can play it but do you think Leo is still a guy who they trust or will they play more zone? I don't like the idea that they will just make Bradford and his receivers beat them because they haven't established a big downfield passing threat. That's what we thought about KC and they lit it up. I also think Gilmore could have taken on Ertz. Not sure of the LB situation either on the TE with all the injuries so will we see Hughes in coverage again? He was solid on Gronk downfield, we saw at least twice. Kelce in the red zone was a nightmare two weeks ago. He had one TD but also left uncovered when smith just didn't see him a couple times.

NOVABillsFan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 More LB's in coverage? Just keel Leodis off of kick returns and he'll be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I fear for the Bills' defense this week. Tyrod, Shady, Sammy & Co. need to light it up. I may bet the over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelce in the red zone was a nightmare two weeks ago. He had one TD but also left uncovered when smith just didn't see him a couple times. McKelvin isn't popular around here and he isn't a great corner, but he is a better than average player in terms of replacing a starter. In fact, MUCH better than average. We can make this move and leave Robey in the slot. I am not overly concerned unless another corner goes down. Right now, Hughes is our only true pass rusher on the front 7. None of us know the deal wrt Mario but right now he is not producing. If Hughes is sent into coverage, this is only further proof that Rex is incompetent. This game is right there for the Bills to win. It is also right there for Rex to lose. Edited December 10, 2015 by Bill from NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVABillsFan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 WIthout Gilmore there will be less Penalties and less easy Touchdowns! Darby and Graham have as many penalties flags thrown at them as Gilmore. http://www.nflpenalties.com/team/buffalo-bills?year=2015&view=players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Darby and Graham have as many penalties flags thrown at them as Gilmore. http://www.nflpenalties.com/team/buffalo-bills?year=2015&view=players at least one of Gilmore's dpi was in the end zone vs Miami and saved a TD - which I believe they then went for it and came up with 0 points. It was a smart play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 yeah - ok. They will be better without him. consider the source.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I do worry about our D without Gilmore as well. He has had an outstanding season, he really has, and whilst Leodis is a decent stand in it puts extra pressure on Darby to step up. This is another game where I don't think we will feel comfortable unless we put 30 on the board.... thankfully with their D playing how it has that is very possible.

YoloinOhio Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 I feel like Leo is more likely to pick one off, but also more likely to get burnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Don't confuse McKelvin's terrible errors as a punt returner with his play at corner. He's been solid in his limited time on the field this season, and he was very good last year. Until he was injured, he was playing at a Pro Bowl level last season.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 My thought process is that we need to create havoc to confuse whatever below average, overpaid QB is playing us Sunday. Stop the run and man up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBBullsfan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If I'm the opposing team, any time Duke Williams is on the field I'm going to throw it at him. Also, Gilmore being out means it is Ron Brooks time, and that is never a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really kind of amazed more fans don't get this, and keep defending Ryan's scheme this year. Even last week when Ryan sent the kitchen sink in an overload blitz it got to Hoyer, and it disrupted the play. The problem was he just didn't run that play often enough. So Yea, it really is up to Ryan IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Yea, it really is up to Ryan IMO. Years ago, the only legit pass rusher on the Bills was Aaron Schobel, and he was a good one. Dumbo Jauron used to send him back into coverage and opposing qbs would have absolutely no pressure. Of course, the Bills lost more often than they won. Rex came to town saying this team would be "bullies." Well, he is employing the same passive scheme and the team isn't suited for it.

Big Blitz Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Their WRs stink. We've had problems covering RBs all year. I'd be worried about covering Sproles and Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
