H2o Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm not nervous about the Titans offense. Our run defense looked much improved the first week. If we shut down Henry, or at least keep him contained to around 80 yards and 1 score, we should win this game handily. I expect us to put up 30+ on their defense and expect them to struggle to score 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Flying in from Portland for the game. Spending all day Sunday in Buffalo, eating and drinking my way through the city. Spending all day Monday in the lots, of course, responsibly enjoying adult beverages and cooked meats and yelling rude but good-natured things at any Titans fans I see. Spending three hours Monday night yelling until my voice is gone and trying to get the idjits in my section to quiet down when the Bills are on offense. I have seen Josh live three times. He was not good in any of the three games. I'm really hoping that this one is the one where I finally get to see nuclear Super Saiyan Josh Allen. Fingers crossed. Can't ***** wait.

I've seen many passed-out-before-they-can-enter-the-stadium Bills fans in my days attending games (and concerts). I also once saw, prior to the game, maybe 11:30am, a totally hammered guy who couldn't stand upright, held up on either side by buddies of his, being walked back in the opposite direction of the stadium. The too-hammered-to-walk guy was drunkenly slurring "Is it over? Di...did we win?". I am definitely not that type of fan when I go to games. No shade to those who are, I guess, but I like to actually REMEMBER the game come the next morning. I spend too much PTO, effort and money getting to a game to even consider being too inebriated to enjoy it properly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Since1981 said: It will be interesting to see how McD balances supporting weak corners vs stopping Henry. Hope our DL can do it with lower safety help. If O can get a lead, everything gets easier What do you mean weak corners? Are you talking about low years experience? Why are you calling them weak? What is "lower" safety help and how does it effect the DL? Do you mean less safety help? Or do you mean bring Poyer down into the box? It all starts with the DL. A strong Bills pass rush will force the Titans to slow the game down by running Henry more and try to keep our offense off of the field. That could be countered by adding a 3rd LB in place of the Nickel back. Also expect to see Shaq Lawson dressed to help set the edge on running downs. I think we will see what more stout DT's, like Settle and Jones, can do for us against a strong running team. I think we have the players to match up physically. Smart substitution and execution are needed, as always. Agree, if the offense is clicking and scoring we should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but I kind of like the steel drums on it. Also, I was actually a Buffett fan before I discovered the Dead, so I heard Jimmy's version of Uncle John's Band well before I ever heard the Dead do it. The fanhood doesn't seem to go both directions, though. No Buffett covers by the Dead.

But the bills D line is much more equipped this year for a power back. The Giants had a good scheme. What is impressive is that they did that without their two best edge players! I watched most of the game and some breakdowns this morning. They lined up their DEs wide and crashed the middle. It made for tough sledding for Henry, and limited the lanes Tannehill had to pull the ball down and run. DE Jihad Ward was lined up wide a lot, almost LB position, or like Lorax used too, and had himself a heck of a game. Doesn't hurt that Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence were doing a good job inside. Will be a good test for Jones/ Settle/ Oliver and Phillips. If Oliver is good to go and the game stays close, I would not be surprised to see Phillips get fewer snaps and see Settle/ Oliver get more. Am hoping that McDermott will use a 4-3 scheme or a 3rd DE lined up wide, and clog up those running lanes. I don't want to see Poyer/ Hyde/ Johnson be the first Bill laying a helmet on Henry or Tannehill again. If McDermott and Frazier insist on sticking with a 4-2-5 they should line up Von Miller or Rosseau wide like the Giants did with Ward. I also expect to see Lawson active and help set the edge wide or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcam2012 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Early betting odds have the Bills 9.5 point favorites. Pretty big spread but not surprising after both teams 1st game results. I just don't see how Tannehill beats the Bills. Stop Derrick H is the number one priority. Traditionally, this has been a pretty bad match up for the Bills. However, I think the Bills D is much better up front. I think the only way the Bills lose is if they are sloppy and have a let down. Very unlikely on Monday night home opener.

There is no AJ Brown this year either. Our defense is well beyond what they just faced yesterday and they still only put up 21. I don't think they even get that against us and we'll put up 30+.
