Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 This isn’t another weather or dome thread— I promise! in light of what is expected to be extraordinarily windy conditions on MNF, how do you think each team’s roster and gameplan changes, if at all? Here are a few thoughts I have had: 1) patriots defense goes back to man. From everything I have read, the Pats have gone increasingly zone (cover 2 shell, cover 4) over the last several weeks. With heavy wind, I would expect they could revert to man and loaded boxes— taking away the run and everything short and actually giving us the deep stuff. 2) Bills change up personnel and focus on run game. I am predicting that the Bills for the first time activate DS, Moss, and Breida for the same game, and that we may see two of the three in the backfield at the same time. This may be stating the obvious, but out of necessity, I would expect a run heavy offense. Lots of two TE formations. Lots of sweeps. Designed QB runs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Daboll is going to be tested in this one. I agree that activating all 3 would be a good idea. The Pats have been playing this game all season, with & without wind. Short passing, running outside, running inside. If I'm a Pats fan, I LOVE this forecast. The Bills are the team that has to play against type. If Daboll is HC worthy, this is the kind of game he proves it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Bills run 3 times, get stuffed each time & never run the ball again except on designed QB runs. Josh passes for 300 yards & runs for 200. Bills win by 21. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem like he usually gameplans based on the weather or risk of weather. In our playoff game against Baltimore last year— which was very windy— we threw the ball almost 40 times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Mac operate a passing offense in those conditions? If this forecast comes true, we’ll find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgoteam Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 My very short sighted, "hot" take, just yapping without any facts/proof/evidence is that the Bills don't do well accounting for weather into their game plans. I think back to the Eagles game a few years ago where the wind just seemed to kill their game plan. Same with the Colts game this year. However, I felt it more in that Eagles game. Again, zero evidence, just how I "felt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be stating the obvious, but out of necessity, I would expect a run heavy offense. Lots of two TE formations. Lots of sweeps. Designed QB runs. Pats are riding a 6 game winning streak. Don’t see them changing anything. Allen has the strength to still beat them deep plus they want to stay in zone because they want eyes on the qb. Esp, a running qb like Allen and they have said playing zone is why they are so good at getting turnovers now and I believe they lead the league in turnover differential.. The zone may not be as deep but I doubt they change what has gotten them to 1st place UNTIL someone proves they can beat them. They won’t change offense much except now they prob can’t go after whites replacement as much as they might have liked too. If I was them, I don’t take a chance on a blown man coverage and make Allen prove he can be patient in weather. Would keep in zone and spy on him and make the Bills prove they can run the ball. Daboll will need to do some counter action, jet sweeps , and like you mentioned , time to bring in the FB and more protection for Allen because Judon and a very good d line are coming. Have to work w Allen on quick release this week, because if he keeps holding the ball , he is in for some bad sacks. I hope Daboll uses up tempo to mitigate the rush and wear down the d line. Also try rushing more if Brown is back ? Not going to be able to spread it out anyhow against that d AND bad weather , so possessions , not turning the ball over is our hope to win. Don’t be afraid to run or punt , and play field position as Bass should have an advantage knowing the winds better. Get Brieda the ball more, and use. Singletary and Allen running as well. Moss might be motivated but I’m not sitting Brieda to take another chance on moss showing up unfocused plus I’m not taking the threat of Breidas speed away. He could take a screen or short wheel route all the way and moss can’t do that. Even using the threat of Briedas speed with putting him in motion will open things up for Allen. Playing moss just brings the D up tighter as he is no deep threat. I can’t see activating all 3 rbs unless you sit an offensive or defensive lineman.Also I definitely work on ways to get the ball in Knox’s hands; reverse, screens, shovel pass , jump pass to him by a back in the red zone etc. I was kidding about the Bills fearing the weather before but if it’s going to be gusty , really it could play in our favor with good play calling It would essentially take away any Pats passing game , but then Mcd/ Frazier have to be willing to run blitz or get out of their 4-2-5 because we will be seeing power running with two tight ends or extra lineman all night. It’s our home so we should be practicing in that weather every day to gain an advantage in the short passing game to augment our anemic running.and keep drilling Josh that in this situation punting or throwing it away is better than ints! Going to be low scoring, everybody thinking this favors the pats. However, knowing what’s expected , no excuse we can’t adjust our D and O play calling to our advantage. If we stick with the same usual strategies, it wouldn’t surprise me if we got blown out playing finesse football. We know what’s coming so a third loss at home would be a very disappointing coaching season by McD. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Lots of 1 back and empty back sets. The Pats won't be expecting it given the weather conditions that are expected. Allen has a career high in rushing attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT, I don’t worry about rain or snow as Josh has okayed in the most difficult conditions, but our significant adv. is the pass. Mac will not have JA’s arm. Wind is my concern. If it remains in the 20’s mph range for wind, that is fine, but if escalating to the 40’s which is hard for any QB, then advantage Patriots. Their massive O Line, and very productive running game will trump our team. So my early Xmas present would be low mph winds. I don’t care about anything else.

We rank 11th in the league in rushing at 118.3 YPG, the Pats* are behind us in 12th place averaging 115.3 YPG. Allen has the monster arm to combat the wind, Jones doesn't. Allen can take off if nothing is there, Jones has 71 rushing yards on the year. Also our defense is ranked higher than theirs in almost every category. They are going to have to combat, what I assume, is going to be a extremely loud stadium when on offense. I would say we have most of the advantages, not them.

It may be that the weather hurts our passing game. I just don't think Belichick will game plan for that. I think he'll try to limit our medium-to-deep game like other defensive coaches have. I don't think he'll load the box, assuming we can't pass because of the weather. And I don't think Daboll is going to scheme up some amazing running game because of the weather. We're not built for that. We're built to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
