syhuang Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 21 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: riiiight that’s why he had 7 receptions in the Colts game Not only the Colts games, Beasley actually played quite well in the Ravens games even though he had no catch. Ravens chose to double team him often, for example, this play where he got the attention of two Ravens defenders and freed up Diggs: Beasley was open in quite a few plays but Allen either didn't see him or decided not to throw his way. For example, in the play below, Beasley was wide open and would have an easy touchdown if Allen could make the throw. Consider Allen threw to Diggs in the same direction in the end, it's probably Allen decided not to throw to Beasley due to how the wind affected his long throw during the game. If so, I think it's a good decision to make the safe throw to Diggs. But Beasley did get open in Ravens game when not double teamed. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was searching "Bills Fan reaction"; most results related to Red's miracle. I love (a) how she mimics ref signals, maybe unconsciously; (b) dad bumps/fives; (c) her phrase "you can keeek" when Bills get a stop. Slays me. Finally, the work and creativity to cleanly edit 3.5h of tape to circa 15m... amazing. See @K-9 comments, p 60, for more about her.

Bills_Canada Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 If Mahomes plays, the bills should play an ultra aggressive style on 4th down and go for it wayyy more often than they normally would. 4th and 4 from their own 30? Go for it. I know this is way outside what the analytics say to do in a standard game, but the reason is simple. The chiefs offense are far from a standard offense. It makes way wayyyy more sense to pull a strategy like this if the opposing offense is gonna score touchdowns on a high % of their drives, regardless where they start the drive from. Which the Chiefs are very very likely to do. So we should give ourselves max chance of putting points on the board, and not worry about what kind of field position we're giving them, since it doesn't matter that much vs an offense this potent. You could argue that they should implement the same strategy vs us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other theory on 4th downs though is don't try to string a few together on the same drive if the game is still relatively close. If you convert a 4th and 3 on the opponents 30...great. If it comes down to 4th and 3 on the opponents 23 a few plays later, kick the FG (unless it's late in the game and you HAVE to go for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 McDermott is done talking to the media for the week isn't he? Just a Monday and Wednesday press conference.

zow2 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Mahomes is playing for sure. Maybe he will favor the foot a little bit but his arm and brain will be fine. I like the Bills chances but they really have a lot to overcome here. It's not talked about much...but this is KC's third straight AFC Championship game. They're not going to be nervous or tight. Our guys? I don't know, they've never been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Heard a cool stat: The four remaining playoff teams are first, second, third, and fifth in passing offense. I guess having a QB who is a competent passer is kind of important.....right Ravens and Lamar Jackson fans?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's likely just rest. He looked a little hobbled in the Ravens game, however he played through the whole game. So I think they are resting him up and hopefully it will be enough that he will be at least better against the Chiefs than Ravens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing he said that scares me is that there needs to be more balance on offense and that Saturday against the Ravens was way out of balance. I hope the Bills don't overcorrect Sunday and go conservative. They have to throw. A lot. Don’t listen to a thing these guys say during the week. It’s all smoke and mirrors. Martindale let it be known he was going to bring the pressure and then the Ravens sat back all game and rushed 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Bills don't overcorrect Sunday and go conservative. They have to throw. A lot. I don’t think it’s as simple as passing = aggressive and running = conservative. The game plan is specific to each opponent. Indy and Baltimore were both very good vs the run. KC is 31st in run DVOA. KC ran a lot of cover 7 last time which opened up the field for allen to take off. There are mismatches to be had based on the film and the goal is to take advantage of where those can be exploited. If it isn’t in the run game (like last week) they will run something else. Bills also use the short passing game as de facto run plays.

Bill, I think this whole experience ever since McD/Beane ran the show has been one hell of a ride. We've made the playoffs in 3 out of the 4 years, have some really good playmakers on defense and drafted an elite level franchise QB who will very likely be in at least several more of these AFC championship games over his career.
