NickelCity Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Heck of a regular season. I dont think I need to rehash. I am very proud of this team. Looking toward the playoffs, there are several things that I think need to happen (or at least many of them) to make a legitimate push. (1) Micah to surprise us and be ready to play (2) Beasley to contribute in a significant way as a chain-mover. (3) A receiver not named Diggs to step up consistently (Gabe? Shakir? McKenzie? The aforementioned Beasely?) (4) Stick with the run, or maybe more accurately get better with the situational rushing. I love James Cook! (5) Quick hitters - some of this is on Dorsey, but some is also on Josh. Cook is open in the flat a lot. More slants (and execute them) (6) Defensive line has to get home. Von's absence....sigh.

extrahammer Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) We just need to play sound football. Our losses and bad play have 100% been from us beating ourselves. Stop dumb penalties and turnovers and we'd be 17-0 right now. Edited January 8, 2023 by extrahammer 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetou Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Probably going to need that Josh Allen dominance from the end of last season into the beginning of this season. If you get that it comes down to a few bounces and big plays on defense and special teams 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The secondary and pass rush will be tested like it hasn’t in any of the playoff runs. Hill/Waddle Higgins/Chase Allen/Williams Have to score 30 plus each game and view it like that By any means necessary. Who had Hines with 2 KO returns for TDS to lead the way today on their list of what needs to happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnycage46 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Better consistency with the offensive game plan. Don't want/need to turn into a running team, but more emphasis on the run game would help sustain some drives. Cook has been impressive the last month+. Good speed hitting the hole and makes smooth cuts. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Sign every available CB sitting on the couch. Tre is still working his way back into things & is clearly struggling. Meanwhile, it's obvious why Benford won the starting job over Elam, despite how angry that makes fans. He's just too raw right now, and it's obvious other coaches look to exploit him. Other than that, we can't keep up these 3+ turnover games! If it weren't for 2 x special teams TD's, the score doesn't look so pretty. Willing to give the Bills the benefit of the doubt, as they obviously had a rough week. But have to be more secure with your possessions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my biggest fear. Teams will double Diggs and force other receivers to beat them. I don't have alot of confidence in anyone else to consistently get open and make plays.

Ya Digg? Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 So for the wild card, they just need to score more than Miami. Then in the divisional round they need to make sure the other team scores less than they do. For the AFCC they need to both score more than the other team AND have the other team score less (unless they have the second game that day, then only one of those things needs to happen) then for the Super Bowl they need to have the bigger number out of the two teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Last time I will complain. Hope KC fans stop the neural site complaining. Cinci game counts as loss to Bills. Were in drivers seat for 1 seed. So playoff route changes from likely bye jax or sd cin or kc to mia cin kc Stop complaining kc fans. You lost to both Cinci and buf and lucked into 1 seed. Cinci has a half complaint. Lost chance to have our route to Super Bowl. But gets a banged up bal team in round 1.

Boatdrinks Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Josh Allen needs to play better: he missed quite a few open throws with poor timing and placement. We expect those plus the wow plays from him. Can’t do it with one or the other. Stop turning the ball over. Execute the fundamentals. On defense - they’re going to have to manufacture pressure. They didn’t today and Jones looked like a respectable QB. This will not cut it in the playoffs. Play Benford over Elam. Elam loses position/ leverage and can’t make plays on passes that are defendable. Run D needs to be better as well if they want to advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Run the ball down teams throats and eat the clock. Don't turn the ball over and try and mask the defense. If we don't run the ball effectively against a team like the Bengals or Chiefs then we may be in some trouble. Also I hope Allen starts making the 5-6 yard throws, it will benefit all involved. I still have no doubts that this team is a SB contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Bills need to dial up the pressure on the QBs We need good stops on the other teams side of the 50, we can't just let teams walk up to the 30 yard line on the Bills side of the field so easily. Also, I hope we stop spotting the other team 7 points on the first drive like we have done so much recently. Today's strategy of being spotted 7 seems to work out better.

LABILLBACKER Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think the thing that terrifies me the most is how pathetic our front 4 look without Von. Our DT's today looked awful. Mac had plenty of time on both short and deep passes. Little push up the middle or getting off blocks. And as we all know, if our pass rush struggles, so will our already depleted secondary.
