That is mainly OC and Quarterback who have to adjust to that.... and their only answer today seemed "chuck it deep." That is kinda back where we were 3 years ago. The last two years we killed heavy blitz teams. since i dont recall and your the expert here... is that normal for the Dolphins when they play us or did they catch us off guard?

Victory Formation Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Good team or bad team I tell you this, even if a bad team gets hot at the right time in the playoffs we can bring a Super Bowl home. Gimme them ugly wins over pretty losses. A wins a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a blitz heavy team regardless. Haven't seen the cover 0 numbers for this year but they ran it 2nd most in the NFL last year. They ran it less against us in week 4, but they mixed some of it in the week before xmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t claim to be an expert, but the Dolphins are absolutely known for Cover0 blitzing It must be noted that for those who want more run game, Cover0 blitzes can stuff the run as well. The two canonical ways to beat them are with deep throws up the middle (knowing there is no safety back there), or, with screen passes.

Yeah the Fins made some nice "fake" openings where they allowed Allen to think he had a wide open rush lane up the middle and then as soon as he tries to run, they collapsed inside to take it away. That takes some experience tho to do we, in one game where the other team hasn't faced Allen or hasn't in a few years I doubt they are that nuanced.

BobbyC81 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Nextmanup said: Cincinnati, KC, and Eagles or 49ers. Having watched the Bills and Niners the last few weeks, I think the Niners would kill the Bills in the Super Bowl. SF is more disciplined, make fewer mistakes, faster, tougher and I’d have to say are coached better. Josh would have no time to pass, Diggs would be smothered and they wouldn’t gain much running. Given 2 weeks to prepare, Shanahan would exploit all of the Bills weaknesses defensively. If you have trouble tackling the likes of Ahmed, Hill, Waddle, etc, what are they going to do vs McCaffrey, Deebo, Aiyuk and Kittle. Like everyone else, I hoped this was the year for the Bills, but I don’t see it. I also don’t see anyone beating the Niners. The addition of McCaffrey moved them up a notch to unbeatable. The Bills should’ve done whatever they needed to acquire him. When your offense, like the Niners, becomes that potent and gets leads, the defense can just be aggressive, which they already were. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we did a very good job covering Waddle and Hill. Hill had 7 receptions on 15 targets for 69 yds. That’s “contained” for Hill Waddle had 3 receptions on 7 targets for 44 yds. That’s “contained” for Waddle. The Dolphins had 42 yds rushing, which is a far cry from what they had last game (188 I think) So I would say the Bills had some success covering these guys, both of whom can turn short receptions into huge gains, and at containing the run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 When the Bills play clean football, they’re double digit over anybody. When the Bills play sloppy, they’re down to the last possession with anybody. The Bills play sloppy more often than true greats. They play clean often enough to be the favorite week after week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 All I know is after tomorrow there are 8 teams remaining and the Bills are one of them with another home game. When this team is in rhythm it’s a beautiful thing to watch and they look unstoppable. Unfortunately, they continue to make just too many head scratching mistakes which are mostly self inflicted! Just clean up the stupid stuff, take the easy throws and Josh HAS TOO take better care of the ball. Two INT’s and three fumbles is not acceptable! What’s frustrating is they keep taking about cleaning things up but they CONTINUE to happen. I do know they can beat anyone if they play to their potential. LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
