RobbRiddick Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I still see us as a bend but don't break D more than anything. We match up well with the Ravens and know how to play Lamar. If we do play KC as everyone expects it will be about our ability to take away the big plays, which MCD is good at but not getting carved up by the run again. At least we'll have players back who were out when we played them last. The best chance of beating KC is to hope to get off to a hot start like Miami did defensively, grab a turnover and just hope the offense plays at their best, gets a lead and can maintain it. Tall order but possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Let's see what Tampa does against the Saints. Tampa was 8th ranked D in the league by yards. They have some playmakers on that side of the ball. Saints are ranked high too. Both have similar takeaway and Yards/play numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 We had one great game game, which was aided by 2 missed fgs and a terrible QB read (or lack thereof$ We had another game in which our opponent rolled up 27 first downs and 450 yards of offense, but we held their offensive star in check I’d say that the Saints have the best D and the Bucs have the D that, when they play to their potential, is the best D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Have to wait to see what the Saints do but I must say our D's ability to limit the oppositions strength has been impressive no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Every team left has playmakers on defense. It comes down to big play defense AND special teams - sacks, turnovers, returns. Don’t forget KC got plenty of those plays last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 So what I find interesting as I'm listening to these guys talk this morning on tv and radio is how good the Packers looked in their win but the Bills looked shaky. I just wish that the Bills had won their game by 14 points as well with a dominant performance on one side of the ball like the Packers did....

Billsfan1972 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 They played very well yesterday, but still some cracks. Will highlight two plays that cost the Bills huge field position & probably points. 1. Bills have sacked Lamar, then a Holding penalty & two false starts have the raven's at their 1 yard line. Allow an easy 12 yard throw and then convert a 3rd & 18.... Bad. Raven's do punt and then get the ball back, which leads to some soft coverage and the FG before the half. 2. Lamar out and first play by Huntly again from the 2 and he scrambles for 20 yards. Kick and the Bills start is the 24. Cost them 25-30 yards that play.

They got gashed on the ground the first drive especially trying to play a gap-integrity read-and-react, which failed spectacularly when someone (you know who) would fill the wrong gap. I understand the thought, if it's a pass you need to contain Lamar so you can't just shoot upfield. Gradually it became apparent that to stop the Ravens you need to attack the Ravens. You can't let them rip off 3 and 4 yards as a default with the occasional 12 or 14 for sustained drives. Once they committed to attacking and getting negative plays to put the Ravens behind the sticks, it made it tough on them. Kudos on the broadcast crew for pointing that out. The interior D started worrying less about occupying blocks and more on beating blocks and getting upfield which is where guys like Oliver and Phillips have talent. The Ravens did make a few plays on long 3rd down conversions but generally the Ravens have plays planned to go 4 yards that might go 15 if they catch you correctly, but not as many plays to gain 15 as designed.
