One would think having a knack for those things could have a large impact on a rookie qb. Especially with 2 weeks to prepare. Yup, two big possible impacts for this weekend.

finn Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The Chargers are due for a win, which makes me a bit uncomfortable. But they're facing a rested, pissed-off Bills team, so I'm not too worried. Herbert is really something. He looks like more mobile Marino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been confirmed by every single Bills reporter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marino had one of the best arms I have ever seen. He also had one of the quickest releases I have ever seen. He also doesn't have the attitude Marino had. Herbert is a quiet kid who just kind of goes about his business. If there is anyone he reminds me of, it's a more mobile version of Carson Palmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Chargers are a team that has found away to lose close games. I would not look past them. A rested Bills team should come out and be aggressive on both sides of the ball. If the Bills get an early lead, it will be a good day for them. I look for the Bills to get the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think having a knack for those things could have a large impact on a rookie qb. Especially with 2 weeks to prepare. Bills have a better defense than we realize. This modern NFL, the good defenses are going to generate sacks, turnovers, and stiff up at the goal line. No one is a shut down dominant defense anymore. The rules, lack of contact in practice, and new offenses have opened things up for good. I do feel we need to get better stopping the run. What has killed us all year is 3rd downs, poor tackling/ pursuit angles, and letting mobile QBs escape the pocket. Still there is this fantasy out there that the top teams have balenced units, when its just not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case of gameplanning vs a young QB and his elite outlet. That being said, I dont think it will be that close. In Buffalo, i think San Diego and Herbert may have a bit of a set back. Young QBs have them where the bottom falls out, and I can see that coming. West coast team, traveling east, cold, weather for a WC QB. I like us in this one. Herbert played in Oregon, he's used to that kind of weather. This is all wishful thinking, Herbert is having an incredible rookie season and only getting better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two players are complete opposites in terms of physical traits AND personalities. One is big and athletic and has a giant arm but is very introverted, while the other had a quick release, accuracy, and enjoyed tanning, whining, and screaming at his own players and the refs. What's the similarity, again? Edited November 24, 2020 by Richard Noggin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said watching film, it's clear he sees the field very well and makes good reads and you can't make him "see ghosts" as you can sometimes with other young QBs. I have to admit I've been impressed with the improvement on the Chargers offense going from Rivers to Herbert. They're extremely effective at keeping and moving the ball - went from #10 YPG to #3 YPG so far. Likewise improvement from #21 to #15 in PPG.

Minus the Hail Mary, of course, i'll take the defense we've seen against Seattle and Arizona all day. We had Russ and the Seahawks completely shut down until garbage time and Arizona doesn't break 30 if not for the play we shall not name. Both games our defense was aggressive and attacking. We gave up some plays, but also forced turnovers and negative plays. There is definitely talent on this defense.. especially in terms of pass rush/pass defense, we have the guys. What I don't want to see is the defense we deployed against the Chiefs... I don't think we can beat them if we re-match by conceding we just hope to keep it close and steal a W. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
