Gameday PreGame Thread Bills vs. Rams

Under Sean McDermott, the Bills have struggled at home; most of Buffalo's big wins have come on the road. In fact, McDermott's Bills have notched only two home wins over teams with winning records: week 3 of the 2017 season vs. the Broncos (who entered 2-0 and finished 5-11), and week 5 of the 2018 season vs. the Titans (who finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs). A win in Orchard Park today would arguably be the Bills' biggest home win under McDermott.

Wind makes touch passes a bad idea the further downfield they travel.  Run more screens and QB runs to move the chains.  Missed tackles in the 2nd level are big.

 

 

Remember at the draft when Beane  talked about big hands and big arm to throw in the wind and weather in Orchard Park? I guess it's a thing after all.

 

They did not go down the field in the Jets game necessarily, but the threat is there. You do have to learn the stadium. There was that one game against the Cardinals where Kelly kept hitting these bombs to Tasker downwind, it looked like he was just lobbing the ball up in the air and letting the wind take it downfield like a balloon, knowing where it was gonna drop. I'm not expecting that from Allen yet but who knows, he's doing all the things people said he'd never do already.

 

Goff has small hands and I'd say NFL-average arm, not plus or elite. The more wind, the better for the Bills read-react defensive matchup if he fails to spin it and it gets hung up or sails.

Since 2017, the Rams are 5-0 in 1pm EST games, scoring at least 30 points in each one. They’ve outscored their opponents 185-89 in those contests, too, with only one being within 10 points.

 

What's the Bills record in 1pm EST games?

I know people can’t stand the guy, but why not move Lee Smith to FB? He’s not going to get on the field as a TE. He’s an excellent blocker. Maybe he could add an element to out rushing attack. 

Daboll has already moved all the TEs to FB essentially. Scheme change/evolution.  He’s not lining them up in-line anywhere close to what he did last year. Knox has been in the backfield 39 of 75 snaps first two weeks. Gilliam was lined up at FB on his TD. 10 out of 35 snaps in backfield for Kroft.

Yet they only scored 12 points when they played the Steelers last year at Heinz field. It was a 4:25 start which theoretically should have helped them. They also only scored 20 in Cleveland last year, a night game, which also should have helped them, vs a bad team. That was a win but only by 7 and if not for a ridiculously stupid call on 4th down by kitchens they were very close to losing. Finally, none of these East coast games represent precedent to the Situation they have today, which is consecutive East coast games in which they traveled back and forth to west coast.
