This is not a juggernaut we’re facing on Saturday. Since Doug Marrone should he be hired as Defense assistant for playoffs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, he's a bigger, faster, stronger Mahomes. I say that not as a homer but based on the evidence. No, he hasn't won the Super Bowl yet, but otherwise he's simply offers more than Mahomes. (Will lightning strike me dead by comparing him to the Holy One?) I have to say the best comparison I've heard is still that one analyst saying "Brett Favre playing as Cam Newton in Madden" although I think Josh's passing ability is way ahead of Cam at any point in his career Edited January 7, 2021 by InEnemyTerritory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Indy has given up one of the most 20+ yard pass plays this year. Their corners can't hold up. They have a really good running back, but I think we are playing well enough on defense to force a punt or two. I hope we see the pad-popping, aggressive Edmunds that made an appearance against Miami. I was really pleased with his form, heads up but kept the pads low, took good angles, and wrapped up till his teammates swarmed to the ball. Our safeties need to be on their toes early and play more disciplined in coverage expecting at least one trick play. Two weeks in a row we allowed a flee-flicker type play where the second player to get the ball behind the LOS lobbed a deep pass on us. Both times those receivers were open and the passes were dropped. That will not go unnoticed by a team that knows getting a lead on us early may help them control the game. Our offense is looking sharp and if they can get on the board early, Indy will have a tough time protecting their QB with their starting LT out.

The combination of accuracy and velocity is unmatched and it is the throw that separates him from the rest of the league. Wilson and Rodgers have better deep balls and Brady/Brees are better on the dink and dunk stuff. Only Mahommes is comparable when looking at the full array of throws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 7 hours ago, 97bills said: I got a question why don’t teams play us like we did KC 6 DB and make us beat them with the run we haven’t really showed to many times this year we can stick to the run. I wouldn’t be surprised if the colts do this or try go all in on the pass if we run so be it it’s better to give up some runs then big plays to the pass. What do y’all think go bills. Good post. I think it's the running ability of Allen. At least some of the time they employ a spy on Allen. If they had 6 DBs I suspect some of the RPO plays that are quick slants would change to runs off tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC and Patriots first game, the Bills run D was gashed. Pats backup RB had over 6 YPC. I still fear physical teams and Edmunds ability to read the run, but there is no doubt the defense is playing better. Dline is healthy and even with a few guys up there in age are well rested.

I should be an NFL coach me thinks. Agree. His history would suggest he will turn it over if they are able to make him throw 30+. As always should the Bills score early with TDs and not FGs, they can force Reich to abandon the run game which plays right into the Bills strength. Phillips is so immobile. I would really like to see some well timed DB blitzes. I think they can get to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichRiderBills Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Yep no one has tried to double diggs and run the ball on us... Theres no easy template to beat us. You're going to have to hope our defense reverts to early season form ( when both LBs and DBs were out) , allowing long drives being the more important notion of "stopping the run", that our offense turns the ball over 2-3 times ( yes, not just win turnover battle), score on ST or Defense, then I really believe you have a mobile QB who can run for 1st downs, then hopes a clutch QB chokes in the 4th quarter...which he has not often done lately. ( not even in AZ loss) Even with this happening we were 1-2 plays from winning 2/3 losses...even the Titans game was nearly back in reach in the 3rd quarter. Again, I dont think we can be beat by a team without a mobile QB. Edited January 7, 2021 by RichRiderBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems easy enough on defense. Why didn’t everyone else just do that all year. Its really simple. You double up on Diggs it will open up the other WR's especially Brown which was Allens #1 last year. We have great WR's and the other teams know that. Its great that brown is back and healthy. Edited January 7, 2021 by Mr. Magoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Joe Marino had his crossover podcast today with the colts analyst and he said they’ve mainly played man recently and that Diggs will likely be shadowed by Xavier Rhodes, who coincidentally was his former teammate in Minnesota.

SWATeam Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think Allen running is going to be a key to this game. Colts have a stout run D with a nice D line, I'm not expecting much out of our backs. I think we spread it out and see several designed QB runs.
