ngbills Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 News Flash: You can like Josh Allen and also give credit to the Bills defense or any other player. It is not being a hater if you say Josh was not the most valuable/important player on the field. Team sport and that is what wins championships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes Josh but it's more for being a fierce competitor ("a football player") than being a skilled QB. I like Romo but this may be one where I hit the "mute" I think it depends what the score is in the game. I think Romo will be fair but he'll certainly be persuaded by how the game is going.

Come to think of it I haven't watched a game that included Brady without eventually muting after the first few minutes in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m good for some reason. The weather is really the only thing worrying me. Yeah, you're good for now. Until it starts to slowly creep up and get closer. I bet by Thursday or Friday at latest those nerves will start to act up again. I know mine has been through the roof the last 2 weeks. I'll calm down and be happy and enjoy the win for the 1st 3 days or so, then when the game is in 2-3 days away my emotions slowly start going all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) 7 minutes ago, stevewin said: I just don't want to see the same defensive game plan of the first meeting to let them run all over us and totally control the ball/game. Even if the Bills 'kept it close', KC really controlled the game and it was frankly demoralizing to be gouged like that. Would rather give up a big play on a 3 min drive and get our offense back on the field then let them have long time consuming drives battering us backwards. I expect the defensive gameplan will be a little more sophisticated this time - and also I hope they plan to try to make Mahomes uncomfortable and move him from the pocket - with his toe and coming back from his "upper body injury", I can't imagine he will be as comfortable scrambling around. I also think that Daboll has been saving some plays all season just for this game. The Bills in week 19 are a completely different team than in the first meeting. I dont think there are any limitations to what Daboll will draw up for the game. My hope is they incorporate more play action than last week. I will not be surprised at some trickery - jet sweep pass, reverse, reverse pass, etc. Edited January 19, 2021 by ngbills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Edmunds & Phillips healthy and Milano back, they may feel they have a better shot at stopping/slowing down the run game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 27 minutes ago, Success said: I posted similar sentiments a few days ago. I found myself pulling for the Chiefs and wanting that match-up. To add to what you said, I also feel like Mahomes/Allen could be the Brady/Manning of this era. Obviously, a Bills run would be fantastic - but a run that included a legendary rivalry like that makes it even more memorable. I'm also not afraid of that team. I see them as a slightly better version of the Bills - but not by any kind of significant margin. We can beat 'em. Yes! I agree and have had the same thought. I do not think this is the last time we will be seeing Bills-Chiefs in the playoffs and in the AFCCG. Allen/Mahomes has the potential to be one of the most exciting rivalries in the history of the NFL. Two electrifying, rare, generational talents, who just so happen to have come into the league at roughly the same time. Amazing. Here's hoping it comes to be, and that we get the better end of our share of these matchups! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I won't be on Sunday, but I'm generally a big Mahomes fan. Love his game, and he's a likable dude. Guys like he, Allen & now Herbert are instantly filling the void that will be left by the aging greats who have owned the league for close to 2 decades now. I genuinely felt for him when he got up after that play. I can't remember a concussion ever looking like that - on PTI, they were saying it looked like a prize fighter who had just been knocked cold and was trying to force himself up before the count. You do have to wonder what goes on behind the scenes on these things. I prefer to be naive and think they're putting his health first. But, when millions of dollars are in play, who knows. Hope he plays AND that it's the right decision to let him do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The Ravens just released Mark Ingram.

I expect the defensive gameplan will be a little more sophisticated this time - and also I hope they plan to try to make Mahomes uncomfortable and move him from the pocket - I agree that the first game, our defensive game plan was wildly unsuccessful and you're right, it would have been better to put an effective offense back on the field than be battered backwards for 5:20, 6:30, almost 8 minutes. I think that the personnel executing the defensive game plan had a role, though. We were struggling to figure it out at LB and DL. Edmunds was playing hurt and they were trying to plug Klein in for the injured Milano instead of reworking responsibilities. Phillips and Butler weren't cutting it at 1TDT and Murphy not cutting it at DE, so Murphy and Phillips were healthy scratches, replaced by Zimmer and Bryan Cox Jr. and they were messing around with different combinations. In the back, White was just back from injury. Wallace was out and replaced by Norman, who then went out for the next 3 games followed by a covid-19 list appearance. We didn't look top-tier (as Simms said) because our defense was nowhere near top-tier, so that if our offense stumbled we were out of it. We seem to have gotten our defensive "act" together since then. And of course part of the problem was that our offense could not sustain drives for large portions of that game, either - last 2 drives of the 1st half, first 2 of the second half punt, missed FG, punt, punt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
