We’re exposed here this week, in a big way. I’m convinced it will take a rare back to back great performance by Josh Allen to leave south Florida with a win. I fear it’s not gonna happen.. The Bills will win pretty easy actually, nothing to fear here. You heard it here first! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linebackers for the pats were a huge part of their defense last year. They lost their top 4 via free agency and opt outs. Plugged in some no names and just stifled the fins for 11 pts. I’m confident in Frazier, Mcd, and the pieces surrounding our LB’s.... also aren’t the fins down Roberts this week? Would that be enough to say an already bad run D just got even worse? Wasn’t he a thumper up in NE last year? Roberts is a loss because he’s their MLB. Jerome Baker is a fast guy who is often caught out of position. He can cover but lacks discipline. The thing that really hurt their D last week was that two of their FA signing whose strength were supposed to be setting the edge performed poorly in that area - Lawson and Van noy Edited September 19, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may work to free up the edges a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 22 hours ago, Pokebball said: I don't have faith that Daboll will dial up a 35pt game If he stops overthinking things with the misdirection running plays where Josh hands off to the RB while they are standing still instead of moving towards the line of scrimmage we should be fine. That worked horribly against the Jets. I do not like running with the QB in shotgun. The RB is always getting the handoff flat footed, and it allows the Defense to have all the momentum rushing into the backfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I suspect Frazier and McD will have Marlowe and Neal on the field a lot, be down in the box to help with run support and to cover TEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It is a game where having better than average (IMO) backups who have live game experience will help.

Edmunds a bit of a surprise to be scratched before gametime after practicing on a limited basis this week. It wouldn't surprise me if they put him out at practice on a limited basis in part to influence Chan's game planning. 2 minutes ago, Limeaid said: It is a game where having better than average (IMO) backups who have live game experience will help.

I'm actually using that game to take heart from. What I took from it was that our backup D was able to smother the Jets starting offense through most of the game. Our backup offense was not in the same league and played about like the Jets starting offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that football players were not so specialized and would just play football. Heck a Bills LB was also a punter. As game changed players who could play both sides of the line were called "ironmen". McKenzie definitely has defense skills and could be used like Nickell Robey-Coleman being hidden in defense with two very good defense coaches.

I don't think he makes the pro bowl this year necessarily either but if he does he is a year ahead of schedule. I agree he isn't elite yet, but I think he plays "good" the first half of the season and then turns it up to a Pro-Bowl level to end the back half of the season. I think it will resemble Edumonds last year where he was nice to begin the season but turned it on later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On any given Sunday. This is one of those. see what the 1st half looks like and what Miami can bring with their defense will be more important than what Miami might do on Offense imho Go Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started 6 games Dodson was an all star at a&m Andre Smith is talented I hope you’re right in assuming these guys can step in, the only one at all proven at this level is Klein, and 5 years ago is ancient history in football. My point was this team has had some issues with power runners between the tackles when they had Star in the middle and Edmunds/Milano both healthy. Im not rooting for it to happen, but I definitely could see Howard going for a good chunk of yards with a couple TDs. Just last year against this team Howard went for 96 yards and a touchdown, while Miles Sanders chipped in 74 and another TD in an ugly loss to the Iggles.

billsbackto81 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think we commit to stopping the run and play big in the front. Start Butler, Jefferson and Oliver with Hughes and Addison on the ends. Big Nickel packages and keep everything in front of you. Make Fitz drive the length of the field in small increments, give him opportunities to make mistakes. Scoring on them shouldn't be difficult. We just need to stop them early and force them to play catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 This game has gotten slightly more interesting for me, if that is the right word. Before Milano and Edmunds went down I was looking at this as no win situation. The Bills should beat Miami and beat them pretty soundly, in similar fashion to last week with the Jets. This sort of ‘handicapping’ (to use a golf term), makes the game more even. As other have pointed out with Covid, we could see something similar to another position group. Fitz will take advantage of Milano and Edmunds being out. We just need Fitz to be Fitz a play or two. This is what ultimately did the Fish in last year at Buffalo when Milano was out. Hopeful for a Bills win, still expecting it, but It will be a close game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think Dodson played great. I wonder how much Edmunds and Milano being out put Marlow and Wallace on the Gesicki, or if that would have been the coverage anyways. Klein came off the field a lot on 3rd down passing plays. I really blame the soft cushion they gave the receivers. I do think the loss of Edmunds as a captain hurt in regards to calling out play adjustments.

This defense has consistently underperformed when Milano has been absent. Edited September 20, 2020 by GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
