Numark3 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Anytime you have a top QB that has a ton of weapons, a zone defense is going to be heavily tested. Defense needs to get pressure, and offense is going to have to put up a lot of points. Special teams can be the X factor for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeginnersMind Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Trying to keep expectations real here. Atlanta is the best team in the NFL, in their own building. Â Going to be a tough game. I just want to see them continue to play a solid disciplined game. I doubt they can close the talent gap in this one. Â The only way to win this is to force Ryan to throw some picks, which can happen, and dominate the running game.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 McD's experiance facing the Falcons should help with having a solid gameplan. I think the oline and running game comes back and Buffalo will have a shot to win in the 4th. Julio Jones had 300 receiving yards against the Panthers in one of their games last year. I hope McD learned from that experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Falcons are tough. I think Ryan is going to have to be dropped a lot to shake his confidence. Julio was hurt as well, which could help us out a bit. Â Â I think we need to be careful of their run game as well - stopping Coleman and Freeman is no easy feat.

Coach Tuesday Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 HAVE to disrupt their rhythm. If Ryan starts playing pitch and catch with his WRs it'll be a long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Big test for the defense obviously. Â Offensively, we actually match up with them pretty well. They're mostly built on speed with their EDGE guys and LBs, as Poe is really the only stout run defender that they have in their front 7. Their corners are very strong, and while the safeties are big-hitters, they aren't great in coverage. Buffalo's offensive formula of hammering with the run and hitting a few big gainers on the interior is actually pretty well-suited for this matchup. Â This would be a really good game to execute ball-control. If Atlanta's offense gets going--which it can against even the best of defenses--the Bills will get run out of the building.

Vic Beasley is out so that helps a bunch. They have some smaller backers, it makes almost toooooo much sense to come out and play some ball control, power football.

Magox Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't believe we will have the luxury to start off as slow as we have over the past couple games. I think we will need to put up at least 25 to have a shot at winning this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense will have their hands full, if they are trotting back out there short on breath it's going to get ugly quick. Â Someone needs to find that Shady picture from last week and post it again this week. Apparently the offense just needed to know which direction to run!

thebandit27 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited)  They have an impressive arsenal with Jones, Sanu, Gabriel, Freeman, and Coleman.  Don't forget about Austin Hooper  Vic Beasley is out so that helps a bunch. They have some smaller backers, it makes almost toooooo much sense to come out and play some ball control, power football.  Sure does, though I thought Takk looked good in his place yesterday.  I don't believe we will have the luxury to start off as slow as we have over the past couple games. I think we will need to put up at least 25 to have a shot at winning this one.  Probably. It's the kind of game where you'd love to hold them under 20 points, but that just doesn't seem practical. They always score well at home; their 2 lowest home point totals since the 2016 opener were 24 (2016 week 1 vs. TB) and 28 (2016 week 13 vs. KC) Edited September 25, 2017 by thebandit27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
