klos63 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nice write up on the teams progress and changes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2017/10/05/how-the-buffalo-bills-have-tanked-their-way-into-first-place-in-the-afc-east/?utm_term=.5ce1dc05325a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I kinda hate all the attention the bills are getting. Every time the bills, as of late, have gotten off to a good start, they crap the bed in an "easy win" game and can never get back on track. I love McD and the scheme he is running but I'm very cautious to buy-in and emotionally commit myself to believing this team is legit. Hopefully I'm wrong.

KD in CA Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 "Marcell Dareus and the Bills defense have been dominant so far this season."? Oh, right....it's the Washington Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykidsdad Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Excellent article. I would add that good one on one corners cost more, so a zone scheme gives you more cap room. Carolina releasing Norman was a trade off sort of move. Good player, but your D can be fine without stars by running a lot of zone, and you can spend your money elsewhere. Big test for our D tomorrow. Green is for real. Thanks again for the good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Nice read. Thanks for Wharton. Really hoping Marcel can wake the ef up and join the party. If he does and can regain some of his 2014 form, watch out. Gotta love McDermott so far. Dude looks to have an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) This was the most interesting bit of the article to me: Coverage 2016 Panthers 2017 Bills Man 13.4% 27.3% Zone 86.6% 72.7% Cover 0 0.2% 1.9% Cover 1 11.7% 25.9% Cover 2 13.2% 17.1% 2-Man 1.5% 2.5% Cover 3 37.3% 34.2% Cover 4 26.7% 22.8% Cover 6 9.4% 7.0% I mentioned on a thread the other day that the bits of film study I have had time to do suggested we were in more man than I expected and those numbers bear that out.

It's always beat the packers and go on the road and lose to a mediocre Raiders team. Broncos/Falcons wins followed by a Bengals win would set this team apart.
