Bills vs Pats: “pound for pound” teams analysis


Italian Bills

Recommended Posts

Here we are ! After this last Pats win, i want to compare the Bills and the Pats in every aspect and see what you think about.

 

- HC: pats

- QB: Bills

- RB: pats (with Brida maybe even)

- OL: pats

- DL: bills

- WR corps: Bills

- CORNERS & SAFETIES: Bills

- KICKER: Bills

- SP TEAM: even ?

 

Maybe i forgot to consider some other aspect, if so feel free to add or correct me. That’s the way i see things in this next matchup. To me, the most important thing McDermott and Daboll have to do, is to find a way to give Josh more time to throw and involve Knox much more, because to me Knox is not at Gronk or Kelce level, but to me is a very good TE.

I think Dline and Secondary are pretty even and down Tre I might even edge towards New England in the secondary.

I think the most important thing is to avoid mistakes as much as possible. If the mistakes are close  to even we are the better team and should win.

Good thoughts, but I think I would rate the Pats DL over ours.

 

Also, TE is a push.
 

The question in all these is to what degree is any unit better than the other? For example their DL being slightly better than ours does not outweigh the vast advantage we have at QB and WR. Or, WRs against DBs? OL against DL? etc.

CB/Safety is even maybe Pats with your top CB out.

 

Kicker — again I’d go even Folk been amazing..

 

RB — Pats even w Brieda.

 

but the question I have is both D weakness is the run. The Pats will stick with it, will the Bills?  Today was an example how bad the Pats run D can be.

Right now, I would lean with Pats dline. They have been solid. 

 

I think this brings up a valid point overall.

 

The Pats are overall a solid, well coached team.  They epitomize the ‘never too high, never too low, don’t ride the rollercoaster” philosophy

 

The Bills (including Allen) speak that philosophy, but their play on the field week to week is Screaming Eagle (in the roller coaster sense).  On average, I would say they’re a better team than the Pats but that average speaks to the cartoon where the shot pattern is to the right and the left of the duck, and the caption reads “on average, the duck is dead”.

 

Allen can be all-world brilliant.  He can also make boneheaded throws that put the ball into avoidable Harm’s Way at times when he would arguably be better served to take a check down, now it’s a shorter third down (vs. a pick and a COP)

 

Of course, Mac Jones from what I’ve seen has not been made to pay as much as he could for his mistakes and his risky throws so

No way on the kicker's being even

What i saw this season till now about Allen, is that he seems always not comfortable like he was last year. I mean, he doesn’t give me the feeling that he’s always in control. He had lot of picks, poor throws, like if he was hesitant on what to do. 
Maybe because our weak OL, maybe because with Diggs, Sander and Bease all together on the field, he is not sure who to hit. I don’t really know… maybe i’m totally wrong, but this is what i see. That said, i still believe Josh is a top 5 QB without question. 
 

To me Bease is a beast, one of the best slot receiver in the nfl, Wes Welker level and we have Knox that is a heck of TE… so use them more in short routes !

No but he has hit 10 more FG than your kicker.. thus why I said even. 

 

I mean isn't that just that the Pats have asked him to try more? Basically they are both guaranteed from inside the 50. Folk has been a top 5 kicker this year. Bass has been the best in the NFL.

The oline isn't "edge" Patriots. That is a landslide Patriots.

If it comes down to kickers both teams are in trouble. Also if both are too 5 it’s a push IMO.. mind you I expect a good close game with either team having a chance to win at the end.

Thanks for your correction. DL Pats ? Even with our full healthy DL ?

It's not close because Bass has way more range and is just as accurate

Over what time frame?

 

This season, he’s attempted 5 more FG than Bass.  He’s missed 2 vs 3 for Bass, giving him a slightly higher FG% at present.

But then, he’s 26 of 30 on XP attempts whereas so far so good, Bass is 34 of 34 on XPs 

 

I wouldn’t mind calling it a push

Nah mate. Tyler Bass is money. He is the only starting kicker in the league to be 100% on PATs. He and Folk have both missed 3 FGs (all long range), but Bass-o-matic has the edge on PATs.


I still have nightmares about Folk after that cowboys/Bills MNF game, where he got the onsides kick And then like a GW 55-yarder. I think that was Folk’s rookie year.

You know I'd even forgotten that was him. Of course you are right, it was his rookie year. Those were some dark days.

Your honest prediction ? Gimme your cut. Mine is 65/35 Bills. 

Monday night? In Buffalo? My brain says Bills 60/40.. my heart says 75/25 Pats..  

 

score?  Bills 22 Pats 21 Pats miss a last minute FG. Monday night ratings threw the roof for a great game.

See that’s why I thought LB to Bills was weird.. that’s what Judon is OLB

10 after today’s game.. he hit 5 FG missed 1.  Thus 10 More FG and same amount of misses.. let’s be honest neither team be worried if the game came down to the leg of their kicker within 50 yards.

Folk has missed three too by the numbers I have seen. Perfect under 50, 5/8 over 50.

The Patriots play a 3-4 base D (3 DL and 4 LB).  Judon’s responsibilities as an OLB in that 3-4 are more analogous to a DE in a 4-3.

Judon is a great player.  I coveted him in FA.

Agree on Judon to be a very good player. I’m wondering at what McDermott and Daboll and Frazier will do this week to have the right game plan for this game: to me two main things: protect Allen and hunt Jones almost every snap.

What about TE? I'd give that to the Pats although Knox is capable of breaking open a big game. Jonnu Smith has been underperforming this year, but the Bills better key on him anyway. 

 

D- Line and Secondary go to the Pats. 

 

WR = Bills and that's not even a debate.

 

O-Line = Pats as they have probably the best or 2nd best behind Dallas

 

QB = Bills (obviously)

 

Linebackers = Wash

 

Special teams = Bills because of Bass

 

Coaching = really depends. Both our teams have the same record. I'm going on this year and not taking into account the past. It's going to be a Chess like battle between these 2. I'd give the edge to McDaniels as OC and Frazier the edge as DC. It's even to me.

60/40 is ok to me… considering the way we are playing lately … not so good at all.

You’re being ridiculous here half this board think the Bills shouldn’t even bother showing up on Monday

They have an all star LB Corps, maybe best in the league, and you give us the edge?  lol  

Hightower, van Noy, and Collins probably have more playoff experience than our whole roster and they're the main reason(s) that defense is playing the way it is.  

 

Fact is we have Allen and Diggs, they seem to have everything else.
