Patrick Duffy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: It was a Total Access interview. It's on the NFL app but there's no share option. He actually said it with a lot of emphasis, like he's annoyed that people are making a big deal out of it. What I think is happening is the Bills are exclusively focused on just making the playoffs. They haven't thought much about possibly taking that number one seed. It's this interview as well as Josh's comments from a couple weeks ago when he made the comment that they know the number of wins that are typically needed to make the playoffs and they're "just trying to get number 8." Fans might not like to hear that their goal is just the playoffs, but I think it is what it is. wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've spent so much time focused on LJ, I really feel like if Harbaugh and the Ravens are smart they'll just keep feeding Ingram. Dude's exactly the type of RB our D sucks against and he could run for 200 yards in this game. Gee, I admire your confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense hasn't proven at all that it can stop powerful runners consistently, especially the ones between the tackles. There's a reason the team cut Pecko then signed the DT from Miami then signed Liuget: we're still searching for the solution to the big, powerful RB that runs between the tackles. And to top all that off, Edmunds has been a liability as a run defender. I would like this to be the week that we resolve that problem, but Ingram is probably the most powerful between-the-tackle runner we've seen yet, so this week is really sink or swim on defense.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 8 hours ago, BillnutinHouston said: Current analytics seem to be strictly based on data from past play. So when this data is used as a tool for deciding which players to draft, it by definition FAILS TO ACCOUNT for drivers of FUTURE success, including a player's work ethic, desire, development potential/aptitude, demeanor and surrounding resources/environment. Josh Allen's recent play appears to be revealing the limitations of current analytic methods. Obviously, you would have to do a lot more extensive psychological testing to begin addressing these limitations. I could be mis-remembering, but I don't recall the analytics gurus pounding the table to draft Lamar Jackson in the top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Cowboys abandoned their run game and threw Pollard in there rather than Zeke. It was bizarre. In the first 2 drives the Cowboys had he ran the ball 7 times for 54 yards. They only handed it off to him 5 more times the remainder of the game! Super glad they did that, but it's not as though they stopped running him because we were stopping him. They were just idiots and went away from him for some weird reason. I think the Ravens coaching staff is smarter than the Cowboys coaching staff.

The strategy should be stop Lamar first with cover 0 and 8 in the box. Key on tackling LJ from the pistol. Ingram will have to be contained by the DL.....

I am also worried about run defense and thought the cowboys got away from the run for no reason (against the pats too). However I don’t agree Ingram is the most powerful back we’ve seen yet. We played Derrick Henry and that game was close with him toting the rock 20 times but only averaging 3.9 ypc. Also agree that they were searching for their run stuffing DT but disagree if you don’t think it’s Liuget. Him and Harrison Phillips on IR make Jordan Phillips expendable pretty much (give Liuget Jordan’s contract this year and get a sweet comp pick for Jordan). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Don't the Bills have some abysmal record under Allen when the opposing team scores 20 points or more? If that's the case, I think it's clear we need to somehow do what all these other teams have no been able to do...contain Lamar Jackson. In the past (with a different defense) we managed great feats like making Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers & Tom Brady look pedestrian in a several game stretch. Maybe this team can rise to the occasion & do that against Lamar. The 49ers held them to 20 points last week, but aside from that, the Ravens last few games they've scored 45, 41, 49, 37, and 30... That's insane, especially considering their opponents have averaged 12 points in those games ? Here's hoping the defensive game plan is strong, and that we really rise to challenge like we did against the Pats (only this time the offense will rise to the challenge too).

Like I have said, the Ravens deserve respect for what they have done, but not the fear of playing them. It should be interesting as the Ravens will come into Orchard Park and smack the Bills in the mouth. Do the Bills hit them right back or do they cave to the Ravens insane running ability? Should be fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
