trusted local weather people are saying no rain, just light snow during the game. Weather wont have an effect (for as much as you can trust the weather here).

 

NWS Buffalo is literally the authority on trusted local weather people.

Bills vs. Bengals: 7 things to watch for during the Divisional round

 

The plan in the defensive backfield

USATSI_19733166.jpg?resize=1024,683

 

 

If Jackson can go, he would be a big boost because of how deep the Bengals are in terms of their playmakers on offense. They sport the best trio of receivers in the NFL: Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd. Plus, there’s tight end Hayden Hurst.

 

The pass rush for Buffalo will factor in here. The secondary has to be ready, too.

 

Along with Jackson, cornerback Kaiir Elam could be busy. Burrow could certainly be looking away from defensive backs Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer–but make no mistake–the entire Buffalo defensive backfield is going to be busy and has to play well.

You had brought up your ideas to beat the Bengals and I responded. Thought you may have more to add.

 

I am concerned about pressure vs our replacement oline.  But Miami had a beat up oline as well how was the pressure vs them?

 

We seem to have games where we get decent pressure and then games where it seems like we dont get any at all. Skylar had all day to throw last week.  Hard to say.  We lost a lot when we lost Von.  There is a reason Beane went and paid him so much.  I think we will get pressure but it wont be consistent and even that pressure is probably realiant on our secondary playing good coverage.

Why do people feed the trolls 🤦‍♂️ They must be the mods children because on any other message board they would have been banned a long time ago. Just ignore them and stop giving them attention.

 

Hmmm, well.  This is an open message board. 

 

Anyone can make an account - all you need is an IP address and an email account, which, with gmail etc is "dime a dozen" now a days.

And, with the rise of mobile posting and inexpensive VPN, it's easy to post from multiple IP addresses.

 

So what, exactly, do you think that banning a troll accomplishes from the mods' POV? 

 

It's like a hydra, you cut off one head, and one or more heads can emerge, which can be done in a way that takes time to identify. 

 

That means from one POV, it's easier to keep the trolls in known identities and monitor them.  It's also (in theory) easier for the rest of the board to "see and avoid"

 

Which returns us to the question "why do people feed the trolls? 🤷‍♂️"  Or for that matter, the guys who may or may not be trolls, but have a knee-jerk negative reaction to everything and couldn't acknowledge a mistake or a valid counter-argument if it came with a brass band and a burst of confetti?

 

Why do they?

Um, Burrow did the opposite of looking away from Tre White 17 days ago ...

This is simply not true. He was pressured all game and sacked 4 times.

Do the Bills have more pressure from the ends with Rousseau or middle with Oliver?

 

Yes 😀

 

When the Bills pass rush works, it works because we're getting consistent pressure up the middle as well as from the ends.

 

The Bills D, if you haven't figure it out, is kind of weird.  It manages to be a top D as far as points and yards, year after year.  3 out of the last years now.

At the same time, we seldom send players to the Pro Bowl or have them recognized as All-Pro. 

 

It's sort of a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts" creation.  It's kind of like a boa constrictor, it gets in your way but you look at it and think it's just a snake and it kind of has a small mouth - what can it do to you?  Then you get to the end of the game, and find that it's wrapped around your ribs 3 times and the jaws are coming down over your head.

 

A distressing number of the points our D has given up were the result of offensive turnovers that put the D in a horrid position.

That's the way a cover 2 system is supposed to work.

Sorry I dont agree that he was pressured all game.  He had 45 attempts and a lot of them had all day to throw the ball.

I would think Jackson would go.

 

And the Bills still have Benford available.

according to next gen stats, we had 12 different players who had at least 1 pressure on Thompson. He had 51 drop backs, so on AT LEAST 20% of his drop backs he was pressured. Add in the 4 sacks and I am positive some guys had more than 1 pressure, that percentage is likely at least 30% (cant find it, I can find that Allen was pressured 48% of his drop backs - which is ridiculous). So you can disagree, but just know that it isnt rooted in fact.

He was 18 for 45 220 yards.  Sacked 4 times for 31 yards.  2 interceptions and hit 11 times.  Each Bills D line guy had 2 QB pressures on him. He threw some nice balls during the game that were dropped but the Bills also had 10 passes defended.  Miami's offense had one decent drive all game that resulted in a touchdown.  Too many short fields allowed Miami to hang in the game plus the defensive TD.  Bills defense played pretty well.

It’s a function of miamis blocking scheme…they use heavier packages than most and keep extra blockers in a lot.  That’s why they fell out of love with gesicki because he can’t really block. Thompson was pressured a lot considering how much resources they commit to blocking up front.  
 

Also connor Williams and Terron Armstead are great offensive linemen

 

especially with the injuries they have going on, cincy doesn’t really have anyone above average.  You can gameplan around missing an offensive linemen or two when you have some dependable guys that can win their one on one matchups, but I’m not sure cincy has that.

 

Comparing the pass rush vs the dolphins to pass rush vs bengals next week is apples and oranges.

That throw he made with Milano rushing free up the middle late in the game was ridiculous.  Hopefully no bengals fans misquote me here I’m not tryin to say Skylar is better than tua 😂…but there’s no way tua makes that throw.

 

defense played great…Milano and edmunds were flying all over the field plugging running lanes and disrupting passing lanes.  Secondary held hill and waddle in check.  Score was high because each team just got so many drives.  220 yards allowed and 2 offensive tds (one of which was a very short field) is very impressive 

 

Skylar deserves a lot of credit for buying himself extra time when the pocket broke down

When you have that many attempts there are going to be times when he has all day to throw.  He was also running for his life quite a bit too.
