TheFunPolice Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 4 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: If that defense shows up again, they can beat anyone except maybe the Patriots. Unless KC's offense is really that bad, which I can't imagine it is...this season is so strange. I had no idea what I was watching yesterday when they had the ball, playmakers galore and they're running Kelce handoffs to Hill for -yards, weird offtackle stuff to Hunt at the exact wrong time...so strange. Sidenote: Ragland looked pretty good against McCoy on a couple of downs, that dude is strong. KC's offense has been putrid for weeks now. They lost to the Giants and only scored a few FGs. Let's hope the win gave the team some swagger and confidence back for this week. Either way, almost no defense is going to keep NE down. You need touchdowns to beat them, and lots of them. A bad day for them is 28 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see either Taylor or Dennison or whatever combination of them is responsible for the conservative offense we have being able to keep up in a shootout...I think we lose if the winning score is 25+.

TheFunPolice Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This is the problem with the offense. "Don't turn it over" works against mediocre to bad teams, but most of the time against any truly good team you will get smashed if you don't play 2017 football. 175 yards, a TD and a handful of nice runs isn't going to beat good teams UNLESS those good teams turn it over a few times, which can always happen but isn't something you can depend on.

Mat68 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This is the toughest game of the year. I liken this game or the two games vs the Patriots as the head coach barometer. No different than college football. This past weekend there were rivalry games. Gus Malzann did win a NC but he is bullet proof at Auburn cause he can beat Alabama. On the other hand Harbaugh needs to beat Ohio St if he is not contending for titles. Yes this is not a rivalry because its has been so one sided the past years, but these are the biggest games we have every year. Its a playoff caliber game. Its a game that historically turns Buffalo's Cinderella seasons into pumpkins, and usually by halftime. The Bills teams historically look either out coached or too emotional to ever take advantage of opportunities when they arise in the game. I am interested to see what the Bills look like on Sunday. If Buffalo wins it will shift perception and trajectory of the season. they play close I will still give them a chance down the stretch. I expect as do most that this game gets ugly and this team is no different than the last 5 years teams. Good enough to beat good teams, inconsistent enough to lose to poor teams, and not at the next level of play with elite teams to contend for championships.

TheFunPolice Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Here's my plan: let Tyrod try to win this one for you. Playing safe, running the ball, relying on defense and not passing much will get you beat by 17+ points. LET TYROD THROW. Go 2 minute drill the entire game and play like your hair is on fire. Get as many points on that scoreboard as you can, as fast as you can. We've tried the 1950's route plenty of times and we get hammered by these guys. Brady is going to score, unless the Giants SB defense walks through the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bills sign CB Lorenzo Doss to practice squad Quote Posted by Chris Brown on November 27, 2017 – 11:45 am The Buffalo Bills have made an addition to their practice squad, signing CB Lorenzo Doss. Doss is a former fifth-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2015. He was released by the club on Thanksgiving. Doss (5-11, 187) has appeared in 15 career NFL games, mainly on special teams. The cornerback had 15 interceptions in his college career at Tulane. To make room on the practice squad the Bills cut OL Will Pericak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If the offense plays to set up the punt then the game will be over by halftime. Come out throwing. What is the worst that can happen? The team gets blown out? NE is blowing everyone out (again). I really thought they would at LEAST just look like a normal good football team like the Steelers or the Rams. Win a lot, but lose a few and win some games by a FG. NOPE. They are right back to blowing everyone out again. Yay. So I say unleash your QB and see what happens. Let Tyrod throw 30+ passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennison (and Kubiak by extension) is the same stubborn idiot who forced a crippled Manning to play under center for the first time in his career and execute his wonderful offense instead of the offense that set records the year before he got there. Let's move the QB around and do some bootlegs and play action... Never mind that the poor SOB could barely move when he was young and healthy. I think Manning looked a lot worse than he would have had he been running the same offense McCoy and Gase used. He also took a lot more big time hits than he ever did in the gun. All this is to say that history suggests that Dennison will consider his special offense too sacred to adjust for any length of time. The punt is his favorite play in the offensive playbook. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
