DC Greg Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 18 minutes ago, SCBills said: Clown post. Does KC have a Von Miller? Does Cincy? Nope … Without Hyde, Bills and Bengals Defenses are pretty similar. Both are better than the Chiefs Defense. If 75% Hyde can come back for a potential Divisional Round and beyond, everything changes for our Defense. None of the contenders have an elite pass rush. If Hyde comes back, we can reasonably have hope that we, again, have the best top to bottom Defense in the AFC Playoffs. Im as frustrated with the Defenses play in past post-seasons as anyone. I’ve been very vocal about it. I’m also not a trollish doomer that can’t simply evaluate talent on the field. We still have talent.. and if Hyde comes back, there’s hope that they can (at least) slow down high powered offenses. Chris Jones is an absolute force from the 3 tech for the Chiefs. One of the best DTs in the game. He is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Ballin Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 One person shouldn't be relied on to step up on defense. THE ENTIRE TEAM needs to step up. It's a team game. And how is the other team stopping Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Dawson Knox, and (if this version of him ever shows up) Playoff Gabe Davis?

He is a problem. He also plays on the worst defense of the Bills, Bengals, Chiefs. Would you be scared of playing the Rams Defense right now because they have Aaron Donald? Von dominated for the Rams last year because hes great, yes, …also he was on a talented defense with Donald, Ramsey and Floyd out there with him. He would’ve dominated here because of how talented this defense is around him. Sucks to lose him .. but Chris Jones, for as good as he is, doesn’t have that dynamic. Their defense is statistically/analytically worse than the Bills and Bengals.. and that’s a Bills team that played 14 games without Hyde and half a season without Von.

Logic Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) So... Do the Bills ride with the hot hand and make this a James Cook game and a James Cook playoffs, or do they rely on Singletary because he's the veteran? To me, it's clear that Cook has been outplaying Singletary recently. He offers more in the passing game, has improved his run blocking, and has been finding creases and hitting the hole. His contact balance has improved, too. It seems like he very rarely gets stopped for no gain. Cook also hasn't fumbled since week 1, whereas Singletary always feels like a bit of a risk in that department. Still, this coaching staff has a little bit of a history of deferring/defaulting to vets in big games. Here's hoping they don't. Cook has earned the lion's share, IMO.

Every SB team has had a few lucky bounces along the way. I watch the Bengals run closely last year because I live in Cincinnati. There was that whistle in the WC game against the Raiders. They were about to lose to the Titans in the Divisional Round until a tipped pass (by Eli Apple of all people) dropped right into Logan Wilson's hands. The tip was a play (it was also probably DPI, but Tannehill is not going to get that call). The trajectory of the ball after the tip was luck. Finally, the Chiefs were steamrolling the Bengals in the first half. Then Mahomes botched a play on the goal line at the end of the half. Bieniemy and Hill were screaming at Patty as they ran up the tunnel. You have to imagine that whatever was said in that locker room at halftime led to Hill's departure from KC. Anyway, Patrick Mahomes looked rattled in the second half. Some of that was an adjustment that the Bengals made (rush 3 and drop 8), but he looked like he lost confidence. And the Rams? If this play gets made it might have been the 9ers in the SB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And confirmed by Nate Geary. Since entering the league DS has the 2 highest fumble rate below Melvin Gordon. He also drops too many passes you’re getting better ypc production. And the opportunity cost is too great w cooks speed breaking a play - you can’t give DS significant Carries. I think DS is a far more effective closer type / churn out tough yards / heady plays in a winning ahead type situation Edited January 13, 2023 by balln 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it serves as an extra intangible motivation for the Bills players, who surely want to do their part to advance to the point in the playoffs where Hyde can potentially return. believe I already heard Josh say "we have to make sure we do our part to make sure we get far enough for him to come back".

Honestly what real difference is there in a week once this type of injury/surgery has healed. Seems strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
