Born and raised in Louisville, went to U of L, absolutely no way I pull for Lamar this week and hope I don't have a chance to pull for him next week. Here is to a great game 🍺 and everyone walking away healthy. Hard hits? Yes. Injuries? No. Louisville. Also Johnny U’s alma mater! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 dang it, the wind looks to be worse than i thought. 15-20 with gusts to 35. That really messes with the Bills downfield passing game. I recall a windy game last season vs Philadelphia. Carson Wentz handled it so much better than Josh. Lots of accurate short passes to RBs and the TE. It’s unlikely to complete long downfield passes in those conditions unless there’s a moment when the wind subsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Browns lol. Trust me, if the Bills are due, so are the Browns! I don’t see it, but then again, who foresaw that debacle last week in Pittsburgh? That’s why you play the game!

Man if it turns out to be a browns/bills afc championship game then we will know that hell has frozen over. I can only imagine how many of the Steelers fans were going crazy and complaining about resting their starters in week 17 because it looked like most of the players took a comped trip to Vegas for the week before the game.

SirAndrew Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think this game comes down to our defensive coaching and game plan. I’ve defended Lamar quite a bit, but even I see him as an all or nothing QB. It seems like Jackson either runs wild, or completely struggles when forced out of his comfort zone. This game will be decided by whether or not we force him out of his comfort zone. I was initially worried about our offense vs the Ravens D, but if we play Lamar the right way, I don’t think we need to score a ton. Make him throw the ball outside the numbers at all costs, and do everything to take away the run game. I’ll just tip my hat and be in shock if the Ravens beat us by throwing the ball to outside receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills D aren't a bunch of huge slow guys.. they are mostly on the lighter side and quick. Maybe that will be effective. Just a bit worried because we've all seen Milano and Edmunds juked out of their jocks more than a few times. Can't whiff on the first contact tonight like we did vs. Indy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully at least one direction is better than the other, and we can make due. I also think we will still be able to have our intermediate routes in windy conditions. Just not going to be able to throw 40-yard passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Wind is going to get worse as the game goes on. Really important to get off to a good start. If we can go into halftime with a two score lead and lamar is forced to try and throw in the second half, it's a rap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hoping the Bills can orchestrate the coin toss situation to have the ball going towards the tunnel end in the 4th Qtr. That's the most important Qtr. You're going to want a tailwind going for a game winning FG in that direction. It's also the longest Qtr due to timeouts, 2-min warning, etc..

bills6969 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The wind scares me more with our kicking game. Bass has been great, but the wind can really mess things up.

I really hope it's because Beasley is 100% He’s not 100% but he’s playing and will either draw coverage away from Diggs or he’s going to have a big day. I think Humphreys who is normally in the slot this year but can play inside and outside is going to shadow Diggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Two tidbits from ESPN. Hasselbeck said my boy McKittrick was playing Lamar Jackson on the scout team. Also, Mark Ingram is inactive for the Nevermores. This is good news, as I still have nightmares of Mark Ingram getting the first down on 3rd and 13 after breaking 7 tackles in SB XXV. That name is bad juju. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The amount of whining in this board has reached fever pitch levels. Oh no the snow! Oh no the wind! Oh no Mercury has aligned with Venus! This team is a helluva lot more resilient than the fans. You can be sure they don’t care what the conditions are they are ready to play, period. You adjust as needed and the team that adjusts better wins. As Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. This team has been punched plenty and came through again and again. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
