D521646 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's not going to be a blow out for either side, both are well coached teams, disciplined, and hungry. I think unlike in previous few weeks, McD doesn't allow the vanilla defense on the first Baltimore drive, and instead goes all in on stopping their inside run game, staying aggressive on early downs forcing LJ into passing on 2nd, 3rd down. That I think is the plan or hope going in. We actually match up pretty well with them on defense, and on offense I think we have the edge in running the ball off tackle with motor. The key is getting up early, and getting inside LJ head with run blitzes and blitzes from the outside corner position. Key, outside corner, NOT slot corner or safety. If we blitz with any inside guys LJ and or Ingram will eat our lunch. Why from the outside you ask? Because, from what I've seen, and only on rare occasions where LJ has time, he almost never looks outside on his reads and his instinct is to look downfield ahead of his eyes. This is his kryptonite, IMO. Teams thus far, AKA the 9ers, didn't blitz much, but when they did it was double A-Gap or safeties all coming up the middle, which, I can understand as the Ravens strength is running inside, so the thought process would be to blitz on your way to the QB or RB. I don't think this is the correct approach. I think the safety we keep back takes on the role of cover for the blitzing DB in a well disguised scheme. The whole idea is to make LJ act fast, but make his options limited to on side of the field by clogging up the center in some zone, and man on the opposite side of the blitzing DB. I think if their WR line up anywhere near the LOS, this should be taught as automatics to blitz from that side closest to the OT. Have a hand signal to the deeper safety that this is your cue to go, and make sure he's on the same page. You can blitz the Ravens, but NOT on 1st down, and if you want some modicum of success, the Blitzer has to be coming from the outside. If the Bills can accomplish this, we win 28 - 16. oh, and one other thing, I'd try some DLine combinations in practice this week that have a focus on clogging up the middle allowing our LB's free to spot the rusher, or QB. Maybe 5 linemen at times, maybe 3, keep them guessing. Having plan A, and a Plan B, should include a Plan C and Plan D or maybe even E, F G. Go Bills!

BubbaT Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I don't think the Bills, at this stage of their development, are ready for a team like the Ravens (hope I'm wrong). They ARE much farther along than I thought they'd be but in my opinion not ready for THE league heavyweight. The Ravens (unlike the Cowboys) have the Bills level of team chemistry and culture but more talent and experience in higher level games. The Ravens strength, a power running game, is our weakness (stopping the run). 33-16 Ravens. Edited December 4, 2019 by BubbaT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Besides Lamar there's nobody on that offense that scares me. The power running game presents a problem for the Bills defense and it will be interesting to see how McDermott/Frazier's game plan addresses that. Getting ahead early and establishing our running game will be key. I like that we have a couple extra days to prepare and Baltimore may be looking ahead to Thursday.

Mojo44 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 My take is 50% analysis and 50% homerism. The Bills of the last 3 games is not the same team as the Bills of the first 6 games. Much better on both sides of the ball. And, the hell with stats, Josh Allen is a force! Love his will to win. Maybe Roberts gets a TD return. 31-24 Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Not sure if this is a bigger test for the offense or defense? Picking with my heart this week. Defense chips in with points. Roberts has a big day. Offense is able to sustain just enough drives. Bills 20 Ravens 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Every game it's important to win the battle at the LOS. But this week that is especially true. How the Bills D does against a very physical Ravens OL will tell the story if Buffalo can pull off an upset. I think the Bills offense will do fairly well against the Ravens D as you can run on them. The Bills D needs to hold their own at the LOS otherwise this will be a similar result from the Saints game a few years ago. Wasn't that 47-10 or something like that and the Saints ran the ball right down the Bills throat all day long. I think the Bills put up a fight but the Ravens win a close one 28-20. They are simply a better team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthebuff Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think the coaching staff on the D side of the ball saw something in the Ravens win over the 49ers. However, I don't know if knowledge is enough for the D to do as well as the 49ers Defense did. I'm predicting a 30-24 game with the Ravens winning.
