nucci Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I pull for the Falcons. This was clear from the Super Bowl thread last year. I am first and foremost a die hard Bills fan. I think you will see a bunch of Tolbert up the gut on the Falcons front. Expect more 40/60 Tolbert to McCoy. IThe Falcons are not the biggest most physical D. The Falcons are fast and quick to pursue. Maybe We will see a Dimarco sighting. Pound the ball and work off the play action. The offense is just scary good for the Falcons. Weapons at every level. Mack is a stud at center. The line play as been solid. If Schreader is out this can help. His backup was bull rushed, Lawson could have a day w him. Ryan can be rattled and will give you a pick every now and then. He showed a little of his 2015 bad habits last week against Detroit. For the Bills to win they will need to play a solid game, no turnovers, no crucial drive killing penalities or drive extending ones. The Bills will need 2 takeaways and get points off them. Special teams also needs to be sound. Make Ryan work for everything, and pound the ball right at the center of them. Any other cliches....I think you covered most of them.......how about score early and take the crowd out of the game......control the clock, Keep Falcons offense off the field....

26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Falcons stadium roof to be closed Sunday The retractable roof on Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta will be closed for Sunday’s game between the Bills and Falcons. That according to ESPN.com. Citing stadium officials, ESPN’s Vaughn McClure is reporting that the roof will be closed, which will increase the volume of the crowd noise on Sunday for Buffalo’s offense. The retractable roof was open for the Falcons home opener in Week 2 against Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 @AroundTheNFL Can the Bills keep rolling under new leadership? @ConorOrr looks at 5 things that will define Week 4 of season http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000852912/article/five-things-thatll-define-week-4-jags-continued-rise Four more storylines that will define Week 4: 4) Can the Bills keep rolling under new leadership?: While this might be short-lived, the Buffalo Bills (2-1) are tied for first place in the AFC East. New head coach Sean McDermott has beaten the Jets and Broncos, and came within a Zay Jones drop of potentially stunning his former team, the Panthers, at the last minute during a Week 2 showdown. This can happen with teams that bounce from one type of leadership (the freewheeling Rex Ryan regime) to a far more structured outfit -- or vice versa, given how much success Ryan had in New York immediately following Eric Mangini. In more practical terms, the Bills are winning with defense. Buffalo has the No. 2 DVOA (Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted Value Over Average metric) after three weeks in the NFL. Imagine if the LeSean McCoy-piloted run game can also get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) All sports media is a salad of cliches.The thing is I watch all Falcons games. They ARE vulnerable up the middle of their defense. Ryan showed a little of his 2015 self, which could be the product of his new OC. We shall see. Ultimately Tyrod will have to play as good as last week. This week the Bills will have to turn those short field sudden exchange opportunities into points or they will lose.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 @SalSports In 2013, Sean McDermott's CAR defense sacked Matt Ryan 9 times in one game. I just watched all of them and here's what I saw.... ...On those plays, for the most part, Carolina only rushed four DL. And when not in the red zone, they played a ton of Cover-3, but... ...they kept the CBs wider than usual and funneled everything to the middle o the field, and had LBs take deep drops underneath.... ..Ryan had to hold on to the ball longer than he wanted....I wouldn't be surprised if Bills use this strategy Sunday in Atlanta. /end Ryan's been sacked 46 times in 13 games against McDermott defenses. He's 7-6 against him as a DC. There's an obvious gameplan/philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
