HappyDays Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 You beat talented offenses, especially talented rushing offenses, by committing to the run and controlling the clock. Build an early lead on long sustained drives and put their back against the wall. Based on last week I think Daboll finally figured out we have a really good rush offense. So I'm hopeful he'll have the right game plan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. They have the advantage on offense, us on defense. They're at home. I give the edge to the Cowboys, but either team could win. makes sense, one of the few on here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready for a butt whooping guys not going to be pretty Statements like this are just idiotic. You can believe the Cowboys will win. It's just dumb to have such smug confidence in a prediction. If the Bills can hang with the Patriots they can hang with anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 This is simply a game in which we're playing a better team. I don't think they're "a lot," better, however, so I think it will boil down to minimizing mistakes on our end (especially drive-killing penalties and drops) and capitalizing on mistakes that they make. If Andre Roberts can give us decent starting field position, Haushka continues to kick well and Bojo can be consistent, those things certainly won't hurt. What I DON'T want to see is Daboll outcoaching himself. I don't want to see cute college-level trickery. I don't want to see QB-keepers on any downs in which we need more than two yards. We will likely see Duke on the field again and I hope they play to his strength. We know he's not a deep threat, per se, but he does have good hands and is a big target. Take advantage of those things. We cannot fall behind too much, too early. We need to be able to run the ball like we did last week. Daboll did a nice job of mixing it up with Gore and Singletary. I'd love to see a few sustained drives during which we pound their defense for 5-6 minutes. Solid fundamental football will win this game. I hope they play their most disciplined game. If they do, they'll win. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Limit Ed Oliver’s snaps. Denver and Miami were good match ups for him. This is going to be more like the Philly and Wash games. NFC East has some big offensive lines. Too big for Oliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think five of the games they lost were in the fourth quarter. They lost by 8 to oakland, 11 to GB, 2 to chicago, 2 to jax, 2 to indy, 5 to cle, and 4 to min. The only "drubbings" were against KC (lost by 24) and Buffalo (lost by 17). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are the opposing offenses pulling back? Just checked... 4 of their 7 losses before last weekend were by less than a TD. Denver has been playing teams tough - because of a very good defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloMatt Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 1 hour ago, oldmanfan said: I’m sick and tired of reading about why we should be worried about Dallas. They should be worried about a top ranked pass D that can shut down Prescott. They should be worried about an offense that piled up over 200 yards on the ground against a good defensive team in Denver. They should be worried about how to defend the top WR for yardage in the AFC. They should be worried about a young QB who can beat you with his arm and/or his legs. Rose colored glasses.

r00tabaga Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 2 hours ago, Virgil said: Of all the teams we face this season, I worry that the Cowboys present the biggest mis-match for our team. They have three legitimate receivers and a punishing back in Zeke. They've had solid success with the deep ball and have a reliable TE. While we have Tre to take Cooper out of the equation, I worry about the other two receivers and if we can contain both of them while stopping the run. Honesty, I'm surprised at how poor their record is and it makes me think of both the Eagles and Browns games where the talent is there, but mistakes slow them down. You remove those mistakes, and they can beat anyone. With that, I think our overall strategy needs to be the "bend but don't break" type where we will give up yards, but not touchdowns. Get them into 3rd and short and then stop them there. I don't see there being a lot of 3 and outs. Unfortunately, their bigger weakness isn't one we can take large advantage of; which is their defense. While we've seen improvement with our offense, I don't think we are capable of winning a shootout. The strategy there is similar to what we did against the Broncos last week. Control the clock and don't let their offense get into rhythm. I'm curious to see how the rookies and Allen handle playing in that type of stadium with a different rhythm and gameday theatrics. They're actually almost identical to Cleveland's weapons except for Cleveland was missing their star tight end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
