The Bills held tight ends to the third fewest receiving yards in 2019, when both players were healthy all year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 With our present D we will get pushed down the field regularly and hope they make a mistake in their 12 -15 play drives so we hold them to FGs. Then hope Josh can bail us out. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 If only we had some recent game tape to watch to see how a Bills defense could effectively deal with an offense using heavy 12 personnel and a mobile QB in a predominately run-based attack... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern_Bills Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 With Cam under center it won't matter, he doesn't have e the deep ball anymore. If they get a better QB? Yeah I would say it's an issue. They have set their team up like an old school BB team. Good defense and short yardage players set up for a game manager QB.

The Colts TEs exposed them too in the playoffs. Like I previously said: in 2019, the Bills were incredibly effective at limiting TEs. Last year, they weren’t. There’s no reason to believe that with a full offseason and better health (and personnel additions yet to be added), they can’t regain their 2019 form . Our coaches aren’t dummies and our LBs and safeties aren’t scrubs. Edited March 16, 2021 by Logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Omg is this really worth a new thread during the start of free agency?? I swear Bill lives inside some of y’all’s heads. The trauma of getting whipped on for 20 years has done some serious damage around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The Bills dont have to cover tight ends, they only have to score more points. The Patriots are building a team that will be run centered to try and play ball control offense. Essentially play good defense, and keep scores close. They will need to do that with no Quarterback.

BuffaloMatt Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Only one ball to go around and lots of decision to make as a QB. Which read is right? Brady is on Tampa...... let's see if NE can recreate prior success without the most crucial piece to the puzzle. IMO nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 While both these dudes are upgraded over what the Bills have at TE, this isn’t Kelce and Kittle coming at you. The Pats don’t have a hole where they have a below average player at a skill position, and at the same time they don’t have a single top 10 player, with the exception of Hunter Henry. They built an offense that is going to be perfectly above average When you look at the Bills offense they have elite talent at Z, Slot, QB and LT. The Pats have elite talent at the following positions: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 1 showed they can if they limit mistakes. I think the wind certainly aided the run early/often patriots more than anything else. Edmunds and Milano (15 snaps) both being banged up didn't help either - and that was prior to Klein figuring out a niche playing more along the LOS. As for the Bills - they were without Feliciano and Ford. Norman and Lewis also didn't play and both white and wallace were coming off injury.

P Riv Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Belichick's defensive game plan for SB XXV against the prolific K-gun is in the NFL HoF. The Giants beat us with Jeff Hostetler at QB and the offense looked like what they're building in NE now. Granted their Defense doesn't look like the 1990 Giants, but the point is he builds a team according to certain base principles, plays disciplined football and wins the close ones. Expect to see exactly that this year. I keep seeing this habit of assuming our guys will play at their best, their guys will probably play at their worst kind of forecasting. As if Newton won't improve in year 2, etc. We're the favorites and they're a legit threat, that's reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
