If he plays he won´t be 100% so we might see a different game plan, one with Shady as decoy I think while also throwing to him here and there. Murphy will carry the load or it will be divided in 3 ways with Murphy, Tolbert and Shady. I agree that if Shady does in fact play, (which personally I highly doubt) he won't be close to 100%. I think Murphy has a big game. If they split carries equally between Murphy and Tolbert I will projectile vomit onto my tv screen. I am bewildered by the coaching staff's insistence on making Tolbert a close to every down back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather an 80% Shady for whole playoff period, or 0% against the Jags and 100% against the Pats/Steelers/whoever? Personally, I think we him, even at 80%, to get to this stage.

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 36 minutes ago, dneveu said: I honestly think we have a shot with or without. They are not as good as the stats indicate IMO. Colts twice with no QB, Texans twice without watson starting either, cleveland, and cincy. They held all those teams under 300 yards, recorded 12 takeaways, and 35 of their 55 sacks in those 6 games. This is where I'm at. Cup half full approach, but definitely worth considering. Numbers don't lie, but they don't always tell the full truth. Dareus hasn't been playing a ton of snaps for them either. Missing McCoy would be a big blow, no matter how you spin it. Murphy is a more than capable back in our scheme (and I actually thought his running style was very similar to McCoy's on Sunday), but I don't think the game plan will change all too much, with or without Shady. It's likely going to be a low scoring, defensive struggle type game, which IMO favors Buffalo (as opposed to more of a shootout type game). We'll still lean heavily on the run to open things up in the passing game. IF Shady does not play, perhaps the Jags focus more on stopping the pass, and further open up the run. I don't remember the Bills running too many screens this year, and (more so) draws , but this would probably be a great game to implement them more. Some well timed designed runs by Taylor would be nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Only good if we win OP. Then we get a presumably healthy Shady against New England. If he is looking pretty limited in warm ups I'd say keep him on the bench and call on him if we find ourselves down in a close game in the second half.

Mat68 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 He is the bet player on the roster. Not having him would be a big blow. It seemed like he rolled is ankle. Its not broke depends on the level of swelling and degree of sprain. If he is anywhere above 75% he is playing and will perform ok. The offense needs a special set of plays for when tolbert is in the game. You cannot call the same plays you would with shady. Give him a lead blocker and maybe go 2 TE and run power runs. Russel Wilson abused the the Jags defense, Tayor will need to have a big game. He is capable of doing so and teams that we do not regularly face him have trouble containing him. If the Jaguars run heavily man coverage with their corners Taylor could have a big game on the ground and in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Gavin in Va Beach said: No, but I think I understand what you're saying. Dennison has not shown us much with his game planning other than a heavy dose of Shady. If he can't lean on him, then he may have to game plan outside his comfort zone and hopefully come up with something unusual that will help us beat the jags. I think that is too much faith in Dennison though. Did you miss the TD pass to I think IT was O'Leary on Sunday? The play totally faked out the Fish so that O'Leary was standing by himself in the EZ. Excellent play design and call. Flawless execution by the O. Plus Hotrod can throw the !ong ball. I actually think since the slump Rico has been doing a decent job going 4-2 with only losses going to the Patsies** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one play where he absolutely demolished Timmons was a sportscenter top 10 play no doubt. But I hate when the coaches get to thinking he's Marshall Faulk back there and start using him on toss sweeps, and plays he has no business running....

PatsFanNH Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Jags literally had the easiest schedule in the NFL. Their one big hallmark win was destroying the Steelers when Big Ben and then were in a funk. But still an impressive victory. this game rest on the shoulders of the Bills D as I don't see the O scoring much at all unless the D provides some key turnovers and short fields. McCoy be important but for the Bills to win it has come down to Bortles or Taylor winning it. Both teams focus on taking away the run so it's up to the QBs to make plays. Who do you trust more to get the win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Our offense is pretty bad even with Shady, it won't be better without him, it won't be the same without him either.

reddogblitz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Of course it's not a GOOD thing for McCoy to be out. But it reminds me of a Houston Oilers playoff game in the 1980s. Earl Campbell was even a bigger part of Oilers offense than McCoy is to ours and total monster and D wrecker. However in that game, the Oilers relied heavily on D and other RBs and passing to WIN the game. Dan Pastorini was the QB. So it's not like they had some monster "Franchise QB" to carry them through. We could do something similar. Unlike many on here I don't think that Rico is a boob. I have seen him do some impressive things with play calling etc this year. Hotrod's TD pass on Sunday was one and the pass on the goal line Hotrod missed were examples. Those guys were wide open and the Fish were totally faked out. Jocks all over the field. Putting in the Webb package vs the Patsies** was another. I suspect he'll play. If he can get on the field (even with crutches) he'll play. I like our chances either way.

If Shady is not going to play, does it force a game-plan that no defense has seen yet? Does this let Taylor run wild on odd formations and force our receivers and TEs to be a much bigger part of the plan? Just trying to look at the positives but in a weird way, I think that not having the Jags D focus their game-plan around Shady could be a positive. One thing I believe is that our offense is going to be completely different without us putting such a huge emphasis on the run-game. This might be the dumbest post on these boards.
