Chuck Schick Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 11 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: The Colts O-Line absolutely destroyed our D-Line and I think that spilled into our LB’s making poor decisions. The Colts O-Line was just pushing us off the LOS like it was child’s play, Im surprised they didn’t run the football a lot more then they already did. The Good news is we will not see a O-Line of that caliber the rest of the way. The Colts are a very good team capable of beating any team in the playoffs. 100% spot on. DLine was completely nullified which puts an incredible amount of pressure on the LBs. Add in some extremely accurate throws and a strong RB, and its gonna make almost any linebacker look bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t have a 100% sack rate when blitzing. Klein also has 1.5 more sacks than Milano and didn’t play the whole year injured and miss a bunch of games Edited January 10, 2021 by Not at the table Karlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Ha ha this thread. Milano made very good plays, and yes, many mistakes, and was a split second late many times. But to bench him? Wow Too bad though with the way Klein suddenly "woke up" mid-season that there isn't a way to keep these 3 LBs on the field more. Edmunds had one of his best games. But nope, Milano stays Edit: that loss must sting for Rivers, but he won't be physically hurting today! He had very little pressure. Makes it hard for the LB and secondary to cover guys. As mentioned a lot already, that Colts O-Line deserve the credit more than the Bills players the blame! It was a playoff 11-5 team. Not the NY Jets!

Don Otreply Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I am so happy that fans don’t make in game or personnel decisions, the team wouldn’t have made it thru the first half of the season if they did... Go Bills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryland-bills-fan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I guess I'm going to put in my two cents. The Colts were using a mixture of a ding-and-dunk passing game AND big good offensive linemen . ( https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/colts-2020-position-by-position-running-backs/ar-BB170uKu ) to create holes for two good running backs. J.Taylor was a round 2 pick, the 41st pick. We may also see Akers (rams #52), Dobbins (Ravens #55), Gibson (Wash #66, ) , or Vaugh (TB #76) in future games this year. These were all drafted before Moss (#86 buffalo). .... .... Offensives sometimes concentrate their game plan on a specific part of the opponent's defence. The Colts concentrated on the linebackers. Short passes AND short running plays put the stress on the linebackers- and they had a lot of blockers and planned deceptions directed primarily on them. It game the defensive backs an easier game, but the success and yardage gains of the Colts depended upon making the LB lives miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMannn Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 You know our players are going up against really good players too. You don't win every play. Just the same we need to play better I got more appreciation of Rivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single play the Bills were beat on was because of him. The guy was blitzing the wrong lane, missing tackles, not staying with his man in coverage, and consistently out of position. They needed to make the switch early to go to Klein and Milano should have been glued to bench. Just Stop. 4 minutes ago, Frat-Train said: Is this the line for hot takes?

I can’t believe anyone would want Milano on the bench if he is healthy enough to play. He blitzed in the lane that the defense calls for and if the DL is getting handled and blown out - which they were, he cannot fix that. Klein was some strengths but coverage is not one of them. The blown coverage on the TD was clearly a hand off to White who had responsibility for that player deep. It’s called a “zone defense”. The defense as a unit had a rough game, especially the front 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 44 minutes ago, SageAgainstTheMachine said: This is an incredibly dumb thread. Milano had a bad game by his standards but he's a top-3 asset for our defense after Tre and Poyer. If you watched the Colts destroy our D in the 4th with two consecutive TD drives (one under 3 mins and one under 2 mins) then this is not a dumb thread. Consistently giving up 3rd and longs and 4th and longs was brutal to watch. I know this board loves Tremaine as the "modern coverage MLB" but his has been, and still is, a major liability stopping the run. On screens and dump offs he is regularly owned by the OL and cannot shed a block. Milano is active but small. He got pushed around engaged. I think more of Klein yesterday would have helped on run stuff and blitzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what happened? It looked that way to me, too. Someone didn't know what was supposed to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he had a bad game, it doesn't erase all the good he has done this year Yes not his best game. Agree seems like TW blew the coverage on wide open TE TD. A couple plays he was certainly beat on but he also made some plays and along w Poyer saved the day ( oops not so much). Who exactly should have come in for him? Does the fact they may have out schemed us factor in ? Edited January 10, 2021 by QLBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
