JohnNord Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I haven’t paid much attention to Arizona this year so I’m wondering how the Bills match up on offense and defense. Obviously their offense is Kyler Murray as a runner and passer. I think the wideouts might be a handful. I feel comfortable with Tre on Hopkins though I have some concerns about Tauron Johnson trying to defend Christian Kirk. I have seen quite a bit of criticism of the playcalling of Kliff Kingsbury - namely in calling running plays. They seem to try to run the football a lot and not always effectively. It’s hard to make out what they are on defense. They’ve given up points to good offenses and it seems like they are ranked toward the middle. Jordan Phillips seems like he’s playing a lot up front and knowing his weakness versus the run, it makes me wonder if the targets runs at him?

DQW87 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Didn't want to start a whole different thread, but does anyone have an update on Tre's ankle? I think that will be a big part of the question on how we match up with Arizona. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Imo, they are like Seattle with a better defense and better running QB, not quite as good a passer... yet Edited November 9, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, he would have been good to go, if needed. I think he will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Same thing not to hijack this thread but I am more worried about the O-Line guys.....will be interesting to see how many aren't out for the AZ game. Seems to me as the O-Line shed guys the seasicks got better pressure on JA...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think if you look at the Texans, we matched up well versus them and had a sound gameplan. Same with Ravens. Of course we lost those games, but no one can shut out some of these magic QBs, and Cards do not have those two team's defenses from last year.

TUBSTER Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Is Dane Jackson an option to replace Taron Johnson? They both gave up touchdowns on Sunday but I think we both know which one was worse. I feel like Dane has shown some flashes of talent and athleticism in his limited time this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Seattle put up almost 600 yards of offense against them. Carson and Hyde had success and Wilson ran for 80 yards. Going to need to be efficient when we run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone watches AZ share your thoughts Taron Johnson is a joke. As we saw on Moore standing wide open in the endzone for 10 seconds. I'd Immediately promote Dane Jackson as the 3rd cb. Tre will take Hopkins and Wallace on Kirk. And we will need a spy on Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 From what little I've seen of them, they like to play fast, like a track meet. You have to respect them over the top and definitely contain Murray. Dolphins sent the house a few times and rattled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think we will need more balance in passing and running yards this game but we still need to let Josh air it out. Expect them to try the Titans/Chiefs formula and Josh to patiently throw short to medium range passes. If our defense makes another step forward to contain their QB, and we stay away from penalties/turnovers we can win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris from Rochester Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I am optimistic Edmonds will be a good matchup against Murray with his range and speed. He also looked healthy last week for the first time in a while. Allen also plays great in nice weather/dome, I think we get the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpsredemption Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Such a huge win yesterday and I overall love where this team is headed. There is something that has me nervous about this matchup, however. If white can’t play we may be in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 The Bills defense matches up nicely in a perfect world. They have a front seven that can contain Murray and the running game, and a secondary that can clean up. In reality, the Bills defense has been underperforming all year. The Bills offense can simply take what the Cardinals give them. I assume they'll run a lot more this game. The Cards have some decent DBs and Reddick has been balling out at OLB. The Bills will need to run the ball in order to avoid playing into the Cards' hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be it Tre or another important starter, I'm OK if the coaches have these key players sit out non-conference Arizona (and the Bye) so that they're healthier for the last 6 games - 5 of which are conference match-ups. Interested in injury reports later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsmystic Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I live in AZ and have watched all the Cards games IMHO, here's what I think: -They miss Kenyon Drake- the backup RB Edmunds is hit or miss -The secondary is shaky- Baker and Peterson can play, but the others can be exploited -They really miss Jones- LB crew is average -OL seems decent- better than in recent years -WRs are pretty good- Kirk and Isabella can fly. Hopkins is still a handful and Larry the legend is clutch Kyler Murray is a demon- he's hell on wheels when he runs. Reminds me of Dark Helmet from SpaceBalls because he is so small with a huge helmet. His legs and feet are so fast it's hard to see them move! He will run the ball and get yards- -Coaching is ok- I think Kingsbury has a couple of cool plays every game -Defense can be outsmarted- I have seen them pushed around and also seen them thrown on Should be a fun game- wish I could go! Had tickets but then they limited fan attendance:( Edited November 9, 2020 by hmsmystic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was edmunds playing with a cast on his hand all season until last game or am I imagining things? I think part of his problem was not being able to get off of blocks early in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
