You left out one statistic. They were 1-1 in the two games you pointed out. So OMG they gave up 200 yards AND LOST has a lot more meaning than how you describe it.

The New England game was an outlier, an anomaly. No predictive value. It was still close. IMO not a great comparison

I think one might want to look at what defenses the Bills have played to defend Lamar Jackson

 

2022 Week 4: Taron Johnson 99% of the snaps, Tyrel Dodson 1%

 

Ravens: "We're gonna spend 50% of our time in a 2 back set

McDermott: "Don't care"

Ravens: "We're gonna spend at least 30% of our time in a 2 TE set

McDermott: "Still don't care"

Ravens: "We're gonna rush for 162 yds"

McDermott: "And?"

Ravens: "144 passing yards and 2 INT"

McDermott: "Uh-huh"

 

On the other hand, in the 2020 playoffs with AJ Klein, we did spend about 40% of our time in a 4-3 defense.  And Baltimore had 150 rush yards, but 222 passing yards. 

 

So I guess exactly what we see may depend upon the threat perception.

 

 

 


people don’t understand that Taron is better in run support than whatever third LB we put out there. That coaching staff believes as much, and your stats here seem to support it.

It’s pretty rough that the guys had to leave their families in a full blown blizzard. That’s tough stuff. Power, heat, etc. that’s a real deal. Imagine Fins leaving family in town during a hurricane?

 

**an actual “blizzard” has definition and is not some bogus weather channel propaganda from a bullsh#t reporter in Atlanta. ‘3 hrs winds at 35 mph sustained, not gusts with falling and/or blowing snow that causes “visibility to drop under a quarter of a mile.”

Why is it on CBS? Aren't NFC home games usually on FOX?

 

What's the explanation?

Unless they play an AFC opponent.  FOX does the AFC home games when they play an NFC team.  It's been that way since we signed Doug Flutie in '98.  They did however put the cross flex in a few years ago for a few games so it's not always the case.

The Bills vs Bears won’t be the coldest game tomorrow. In Chicago it will feel like -21 degrees. In Cleveland the Browns play the Saints in what will feel like -37 degrees! It will be interesting to see what the crowds look like in the stands. Brrrr!

If they had just played this on Christmas Day, wind wouldn’t be a factor. But we are looking at 25 MPH wind tomorrow at game time, with 40 MPH gusts. Not ideal. 

 

Bad timing for sure - but if that holds, it's not quite the "wind game" from last year, either.  

 

JA can throw in 25 mph.  The Bears will have to cover our WR's, and we can hopefully focus more on stacking the line so Fields doesn't run wild.

Does anyone know a way to stream a radio station to listen to the Bills game? (I am not in a Buffalo or Chicago market). 
 

I have to be in a car starting at 3 PM tomorrow. I am going to have Sunday ticket streaming on my phone as my wife drives, but if that doesn’t work, was hoping for a radio backup plan. 

If WGR is airing the game, listen to WGR on the audacy app. Here’s the link - https://www.audacy.com/wgr550

 

Mad props to your wife for driving so you can watch the game. That’s awesome, bro.

Micah is in a lot of the Bills content this week. That makes me think he’s coming back for the playoffs.

Or.... Hear me out... He's got time to do these things since he's not currently practicing🤣🤣

 

I hope your right 🤞🏻

 

I hope so too...

 

He could also see this as great practice, experience, exposure for a post-football broadcast career. Why not use this time to build for the future?

 

But to have him back for the home stretch would be awesome!

Looks like Mitch Morse is out. This would be huge against a top team, but I think Josh Allen can manage against an inferior defense like the Bears. They absolutely need to get Diggs more involved. I think Beasley will get 4-5 targets as well. I don’t see this game being remotely close. Buffalo is a team on a mission for that 1 seed. 
 

On a side note, be on upset alert for Seattle vs KC. They are fighting for their season. If the Texans can take them to OT then I think the Hawks stand a chance. I’ll be keeping an eye on that game thru out the commercial breaks.

IMO there’s a chance Morse never comes back; this is like his 11th concussion

Sirius xm has a plan.  I listened to a game or two while driving to Florida a couple weeks ago.

NFL app is offering a lower subscription rate now.  Has access to all the radio broadcasts.  It's about 90 sec behind, but you won't know any better.

Agree.  I think there’s a 7-day free trial and it might only be $5 or $10 a month with no term commitments.  The Audacy app may or may not carry the game if you are on a phone. Last week it did not so I used NFL+

just installed it. I like greg gumbal but I can use it for future games when I don't want to hear the likes of romo or the cheetah loving snachez.

Every time I listen I get all the pregame then at 1pm sharp it cuts off? Figured black out rules.

I would definitely have a back up plan in case it’s not on Audacy. 
 

NFL+ is $5 a month or $13 for the rest of this season into July next year.  Since NFL+ offers the radio feed on the $5 plan, they restrict the games from being broadcast on mobile for the most part.

Might want to start scheming up some short passing plays Mr. Dorsey. We already know we can’t run.

Singletary is the #26 ranked back. It’s great that Allen can scramble (which is where the majority of the team’s rushing yards come from), but when it comes to actual designed runs with our running backs we stink.

 

Why is that? I blame the o-line mostly.

This take held up well.  Good thing McD isn’t youmascot burns GIF
