It said "the gravy train has come to a grinding halt. I am done in the NFL" Similar to the Lee Evans EZ drop that hastened his retirement. Four turnovers in that game one of them for a defensive touchdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not work as well because Tua is out, but it’s the only way they can keep it close IMO. That is conventional wisdom. Run the ball. Control the clock. Keep Josh Allen off the field. Hope your defense creates turnovers and limits points. I'm going the complete opposite direction. The Bills have only had two games under 20 points this season (17 and 19 points). That is the absolute floor for this offense. So even if their defense plays lights out, I'm not sure a Skyler Thompson-led team can put together enough long methodical drives to put up 20 points. My gameplan would be tons of trick plays, and taking at least one deep shot every drive. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, you might get lucky and get a couple big plays. I'm taking the chance they can get 2-3 bombs for touchdowns, over the same number of 8-9 play drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 12 hours ago, BillsFan130 said: Sadly I think its going to remain fairly similar, at least to start the game. He is going to be worried about Hill/Waddle killing them, so I expect a lot of 2 deep safeties with nickel. IF Miami runs the ball well, then I think he will start creeping a safety down in the box and maybe will get Klein in the game on early downs. But I think his philiosphy doesn't change alot unfortunately as I think he is still going to be terrified of Hill/waddle beating them with explosive plays You don’t think he should be terrified of Hill and Waddle? Those are the guys he needs to be terrified of. Mostert is likely out and Wilson, while fast, isn’t Mostert fast (or strong) and has fumbling issues. i would definitely keep the cheetahs in front of us while trying to figure out their run game. If we can’t stop the run, make adjustments. It’s not just mcdermotts way…..it’s the smart way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I just read that 13 points would be the largest spread ever in an NFL playoff game. Wild. Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I'm a west coaster, so I miss a few hours of morning discussion in these threads, but... If the Bills lose this game, it would be a massive upset and a historic failure. I expect them to win going away. Skylar Thompson is BAD bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should sit back and make sage rosenfels jr show us he can beat us. I would try and confuse the ef outta him pre snap. Make bad qb’s nickel and dime you down the field. They’ll eventually make a mistake. If he proves capable, switch it up some. jmo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 13 hours ago, CEN-CAL17 said: Can anyone explain the Cam Lewis Forearm reporting?! It’s been like 8 straight weeks “Cam Lewis Forearm Full practice” he’s been a full participant every day for weeks. Lewis gets regular medical treatment and wears a brace due to a bone infection he acquired when he broke his arm in college. So like 4 years. I have no idea how they're treating him. The usual treatment for a bone infection that antibiotics doesn't cure is surgery to remove the infected bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just put up like the worst passer rating of the year against the Jets soooooo... He isnt very good at all, nor should he be. Hes a 7th round rookie out of K-State. He is mobile so theres that. He just isnt good. One positive for him, he had no turnover worthy plays against the Jets. Run heavy, dont let him make mistakes. That is going to be their offensive gameplan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
