Pokebball Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Denver was successful stopping the run, limiting the Vikes to just over 2yds per. They came averaging 4 1/2 yds per. Diggs tore up Davontae Harris, who was pulled the last two series. I'm not sure Brown is as good as Diggs, but Daboll needs to study that and see how Diggs was beating Harris. If it was just speed, we probably can't replicate that. I think our TEs could have a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he is the modern day Joe Ferguson even though Ferguson took us to the playoffs. Buffalo is truly Fitz’s home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Bills should definitely win this game at home. The Broncos aren't nearly as talented as the Browns. Bills go 8-3 with 5 real tests coming to finish the season. They're going to have to play their best football at a time when they should be. This is when sleeper teams get hot and make runs.

Is he missing his receivers on their routes. Is his O line giving him additional time to improvise? Is he scrambling to buy himself more time to find an open receiver? There are both good and bad about this. One of Josh's strength's is his ability to scramble and buy himself more time to find a receiver. Let's not be critical of that. Obviously given this, he needs to do the smart thing with the ball and throw it away if he doesn't find a open receiver. I think he's gotten better and recognizing that. 3 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: Bills should definitely win this game at home. The Broncos aren't nearly as talented as the Browns.

Obviously given this, he needs to do the smart thing with the ball and throw it away if he doesn't find a open receiver. I think he's gotten better and recognizing that. My gut reaction is he has barely started 20 NFL games after playing minor league CFB, and his WR’s are not exactly All Pros running free. It’s a combination of things, but as long as it keeps trending in the right direction I’m just fine with it. Let’s give Josh more experience and add a stud WR in the draft, while Knox grows into the job. Give him solid protection and this whole thing could look very different in 12 months. Things often take time, I don’t need instant gratification. Let’s not panic, take the time to do it right!

Eventually you'd think we'd accidentally run into a interception? Get Ford blocking help from the RB. Tell your ST unit not to sh it the bed. This!!! I was so damn frustrated against the Browns that we weren't blitzing Mayfield. Glad Frazier flipped that against Miami. I hope that keeps up. Our front 4 just aren't good enough to consistently get pressure on the QB... and I think it's time to switch Lawson in for Murphy in the starting lineup.

The QB that was playing yesterday wasn’t too bad As others have noted, he was placed on IR for a neck injury. I happened to be watching his last game and he was absolutely DRILLED by a defender on the final play of the game. After that game he trashed the coaching staff, and the next day he went on IR. The timing of the two events is a convenient coincidence but I do believe he was/is hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 12 hours ago, Pokebball said: I think the Denver roster has good talent on it. Their weakness is Elway and the coaching staff. Agreed. And actually if you squint real hard, you can see that the Elway regime is finally starting to turn things around. In some ways the worst thing to happen to the Broncos was winning the Super Bowl with the last gasp of Peyton Manning. It convinced Elway that he could get by with a similar stopgap solution at QB and a dominant defense. So they trotted out Trevor Siemien, overpaid Case Keenum, and then decided sticking the 36 year old statue of Joe Flacco behind an awful O line would be the right course. They've finally moved on. Elway has missed on some big draft picks (Jerry Hughes, please meet LT first rounder Garrett Bolles ... get that sack count healthy next week!), often because he drafted for need (Bolles) rather than best player available. But overall, looking at UDFAs, lower round picks, FA acquisitions, etc., he's started to put good talent together: Courtland Sutton is really, really good at WR; Noah Fant is starting to show signs at TE and he's a superb athlete; Phillip Lindsay on offense and AJ Johnson on defense are excellent UDFA contributors; Dalton Risner is finally a keeper draft pick on the O line; maybe Drew Lock is something at QB. The Bills should win this one, but could the 2020 Broncos look a lot like the 2019 Bills? Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite initially taking a backseat to 2019 first-round pick Ed Oliver, the upcoming free agent trails only Aaron Donald in sacks among defensive tackles with seven and has been a much-needed presence in Buffalo's interior pass rush. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
