Process Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Would be a pretty big deal and make a good matchup for us even better. Tre's got Hopkins and then who else really scares you on that offense? They have some solid players but no one to worry too much about. Would allow us to really go after Watson.

thebandit27 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That would be a big deal. He's their biggest over-the-top threat. Tre can probably earn a draw against Nuk, so being able to commit less coverage to a guy like Stills and leave Hyde and Poyer free to roam against Watson is a HUGE advantage schematically. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde's been pretty good there this year. That said I think a game between Houston would be won and lost based on our offense performance. As much as I liked the big plays last week against the Pats I'd love to seen one long time killing drive that lead to some points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This is great news. Hopefully JJ Watt also doesn't return. Listening to Bill Simmons' podcast right now, Cousin Sal (Dallas fan) says we absoutely should beat Houston if we play them. He gave us high praise for how we played against NE (Bill's team).

Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Their offense is completely different without him. The numbers are very eye-opening. Edited December 23, 2019 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Johnson Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That is a massive loss to Houston. We can contain Hopkins if he is the only one to really worry about. Watson is a very proficient deep passer and Fuller has elite speed and can really make things challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 its too bad watt will be back. their defense is night and day with him in or out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Fuller is key for them beating the Bills TBH. Without Fuller, the Bills have the upper hand IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That offense is a totally different monster with Fuller on the field. Trying to contain Hopkins, Fuller and Stills is a nightmare. As the Bills know, it’s much easier to stop an offense with just two legit weapons on the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Houston represents the best opportunity for the Bills to advance in the playoffs so rooting for that matchup. Houston is very inconsistent and capable of laying a dud any given week. Edited December 23, 2019 by billieve420 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogham26 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 that's a big loss for them.

Rubes Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That would definitely be huge. Much rather go against the 28th-ranked defense right now, with or without JJ Watt. He's a force for sure, but I wouldn't expect him to be in playoff shape after missing so much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syhuang Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This is huge. Fuller has significant impact on Watson's performance especially on deep balls: ----------------------------- Houston’s deep passing success dependent on Fuller? The Texans have used an empty formation at the highest rate in the NFL this season (14.9% of offensive plays). The formation has been beneficial to Deshaun Watson, who has been effective on passes from empty formations, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt (fourth-most in the NFL) and throwing for 6 TDs (tied for second-most in the NFL). The Texans' key to keeping up with the top offenses in the AFC might lie in Will Fuller's availability. Watson has been significantly more aggressive throwing deep (20-plus air yards) with Fuller on the field during his career. With Fuller on the field, Watson has thrown deep on 16.8% of his passes and completed 43.2% of those attempts, with a 94.6 passer rating. With Fuller off the field, Watson has thrown deep on 10.7% of attempts, and he's struggled when doing so, completing 33.8% of passes with a 66.6 passer rating. Fuller played 59 of 63 offensive snaps for the Texans in his Week 15 return from a hamstring injury that also sidelined him in Weeks 8-11. ----------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
