wjag Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Feels every bit as good this morning. My football enjoyment list: 1. Watching Buffalo Bills win 2. Watching Patriots lose 3. Watching Ravens lose 4. Watching Brady throw pick sixes and incomplete passes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm finding the Steelers' injury report far more interesting than the Bills'. To me, Joe Haden being out is key against our offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 14 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the Bills spent almost all of their time in 1-1 or 1-0 personnel - even when they run *rummage* *rummage* Yes here we go (be sure set to 2020) 74% 1-1 personnel (3 WR) 17% 1-0 personnel (4 WR) SoooooooOoooooo... how ya gonna decide when to bring on that sub-package? Daboll sez: "Go ahead and assume it must be a run play 'cuz you see Lee Smith's big ass on the field" Great point, Daboll does a solid job mixing run and pass out of those 3 and 4 WR looks to keep the defenses guessing. And sub-package or not, Pittsburgh is going to have less talented and experienced back up ILBs on the field who we need to take advantage of. In this game, I'd hope to see more of Knox and Lee Smith lined up next to Darryl Williams to help block TJ Watt with the occasional chip and slip for a TE screen. TJ Watt might be the DPOY this season, but if he has one weakness, it's his size (6'4" and 252 lbs). I'm sure this is overly simplistic and Watt being a bit lighter allows him to be so quick and agile, but I'd use Williams and a TE to just pound him into the ground on every play and hopefully tire him out. Then use every misdirection/jet motion/RPO trick we have in the book and make it difficult for those LBs to trust their eyes and stay disciplined in their gaps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) GMFB straight up trash talking Cam Heyward about the Buffalo game this morning in their interview. Good stuff, let’s make their predictions look good. Edited December 11, 2020 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can make Josh have a long night With their LB situation, and the fact they excel at pressuring the QB, I was very encouraged to see an actual play call that dumped it off to the RB last week, along with a check down to Knox in the middle of the field. Hope to see more of those easy throws in positions where we can test their LB’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great call up game for a receiving RB like Yeldon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve given up on ever thinking this will happen. I like what Yeldon brings to the table when he’s played, but McD & Daboll obviously feel different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm not too worried about the Steeler's running game, even though they'll have Connor back, but I do worry about Juju Schuster and Claypool. White can take one of these more or less out of the game, but that leaves Levi on the other one. Claypool going deep...yikes. Ebron at TE is no slouch, either. But I guess if they can't handle this crew there's no way they can handle KC. So bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Singletary and Moss are just as good at catching out of the backfield as Yeldon. We just dont do much of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think White covered DK most of the game, which left others to hold down Lockett and Moore. Another element of their passing offense to be aware of are the incessant shallow crossers they run with Diontae Johnson. Big Ben seems to be getting rid of the ball insanely quick, so I don’t know that our pass rush will even have enough time to get home from the EDGE most plays. I’d send Klein, Edmunds, Milano etc on blitzes up the middle as Big Ben isn’t mobile enough to get away from immediate pressure in his face. Fake the blitz and drop as Ben will look to attack the vacated spot from a blitzer. Maybe the occasional corner blitz.

Just saw this on nfl.com. Apparently we have been pretty good against the quick passers. We don't necessarily get pressure or sacks but have been good in short/quick pass coverage. https://www.nfl.com/videos/next-gen-edge-bills-short-pass-defense-could-stifle-steelers Edited December 11, 2020 by The Wiz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have thought that, but I guess that’s because I always have nightmares of Fitzmagic games where he simultaneously catches the snap and throws.

Ben is the quickest in the league in getting rid of the ball this year mainly because he doesn’t want to get hit. He’s only been sacked 10 times more for that reason than his OL protection. He’s a different Ben than we are used to seeing. Still effective in the passing game but he’s not dropping back, scrambling, throwing deep downfield as much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I’ve only seen him play twice this year, but it was a lot of short, quick hitters - relying on YAC, with the occasional deep sideline throw to Claypool.
