devldog131 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 What I find impressive are the Strength of Schedule and Strength of Victory numbers. Thus far, the Bills strength of schedule (.688) is second in the AFC to only San Diego (.667). Even more impressive is the strength of victory (combined winning percentage of the teams they've beaten). The Bills are a distant first in this category at .667, while three teams are tied for second at .500. This is the difference between the prior fast starts and this one, the reason this feels so different. The Bills have stormed out to a 3-1 record at the quarter-pole and first in the division while playing a tougher schedule than almost the entire conference and beating a better slate of teams than anyone else.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Yup sad isnt it that we have posters here that can seperate themselves from the positive and necessary off season moves that has this team steered towards the promise land. So when they didnt like what the coach did they mocked him and his work ethic along with his upbringing and personal sports choices.Because everyone wants to show how much smarter they are. With the Bills all you had to do is predict failure. Not because you actually assessed the team's prospects, but because it's just easier to ride the drought streak. So when the Bills finally get things right they are gobsmacked, except the diehards still banking on a collapse.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 FWIW NFL.com has a slightly different picture (could be that needed updating after last nights game?) http://www.nfl.com/playoffs/playoff-picture Bills #2, NE #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All here: http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-buffalo-bills-all-22-review-vs-atlanta-falcons-10_3_17- (WKBW) - The Buffalo Bills, for the second week in a row, shocked plenty of people around the National Football League on the way to an upset victory. This time, however, they did it on the road against a prolific offense in the Atlanta Falcons. Up next, the Bills will look to extend their winning streak to three games on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals, but before we turn our attention to Week Five of the season, first we’ll take a look back at the week that was. Each and every week, WKBW.com will review the tape, and bring you how each player graded out in the previous week, with the help of the Game Pass app on NFL.com.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 @Andy_Benoit putting on film of #Bills O vs. #Falcons D. Will tweet as I go. #Bills #Falcons Film: C Wood and RG Miller perfect backfield screen blocking in space on McCoy 17 yds on 3rd-17. Film: #Bills a lot of 2x2 sets with mirrored routes that attacked #Falcons single-high looks. Simple for QB, Taylor got in some rhythm. #Bills Film: Taylor does not have great pocket vision (how much is his height a factor?) That leads to some of his unnecessary movement. #Bills Falcons Film: Clay 44 yds Taylor tremendous throw from moving platform. Falcons Film: Clay 44 yds great by OC Dennison building offense. A TE throwback opposite a rollout crossing concept #Bills had shown earlier #Bills #Falcons Film: Matthews 9-yd TD Taylor great poise from clean pocket recognizing late read on Matthews tight bunch crosser vs Trufant #Falcons Film: Brooks Reed continued to flash. Beat run blocks of TE Clay a few times, quickly beat RT Mills inside for a sack. #Falcons Film: Dan Quinn in 4-man front likes to go 3 D-linemen to one side of the center in pass situation. Same thing Seahawks do. #Falcons Film: DT Joe Vellano showed some striking hand quickness, ability to disengage with it in phone booth. #Bills Film: LeSean McCoy lateral agility as still as good as anyone’s in the NFL. #Falcons Film: Deion Jones speed and quickness evident in run D, including when action is confined to the box. #Falcons Film: #Bills a very controlled approach. Heavy personnel (often with closed formation in "22"), half-field reads for Taylor. Film: #Falcons fastest LB is Duke Riley. My sense is he’ll have to learn balance of speed and playing under control. He jumps off the screen #Bills Film: Eric Wood a game of highs and lows (more high). Some good blocks out in front but lost a few times in phone booth. #Bills #Falcons Film: Clay 34 yds another rollout throwback. Orbit route. Taylor perfect ball vs. good coverage by LB Riley and FS Kazee. #Falcons Film: #Bills (a zone-based D) gameplanned pressure and man coverage on 3rd down passing situations. Had success. #Falcons #Bills Film: Coleman 29yd zone lead-strong. C Mack great at 2nd level (tough angle), CB White horrible taking on FB Coleman block. #Bills #Falcons Film: CB White did well in solo matchup scenarios vs. WR Sanu, including man coverage from slot. #Bills #Falcons Film: DE Hughes was a handful for LT Matthews. Hughes speed or power, the moves to go with it. Big factor in the outcome. #Bills #Falcons Film: Hyde INT perfect Cover 3 FS play vs. PA post-cross deep shot. Recognition, transitional movement and ball skills. Film: Lead runs with FB Coleman was a big part of #Falcons approach. (Similarities to last year with DiMarco.) #Falcons Film: Alex Mack had some tremendous run-blocks. 1st level seal, 2nd level and duo blocks. #Bills Film: LB Alexander is showing the same explosion and quickness that he all the sudden started showing last year. #Falcons #Bills Film: Ryan was off-target on a few throws. Didn't have his sharpest game. #Bills #Falcons Film: Hyde 2nd INT was 3rd-17 "2 man." Leonard Johnson excellent tail coverage on Nick Williams in the slot, minimal window. #Bills Falcons Film: overall Hyde played a great game, particularly in coverage. Stops out of Cover 3, Cover 4 and "2 man." Film: Absence of Julio Jones and Sanu a notable factor – #Falcons had trouble against #Bills man coverage, got worse as game progressed.
