Ray Stonada Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) I have a strangely good feeling about this. Eagles are due to be flat. If Brady calls a game like last time, I feel like we can score 30 easy. His sense of flow was that much better. There's one big caveat in my mind: we have to be up two or three scores by late in the fourth. I have no faith than McD can beat Siriani in a strategic endgame. (Or Reid, Harbaugh, Shanahan, etc.) If we want to win a Super Bowl with him, it's probably gonna take a string of 10+ point victories.

TheWei44 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Someone mentioned how the upcoming bye week might also benefit the Bills - One usually thinks about the benefit of a bye for the following week (extra rest, more time for injuries to improve, retool as necessary, etc.) but maybe there's also a psychological benefit on the front end as well: Play extra hard/aggressive knowing you have more time to heal; a bit more incentive to win so don't have "bad taste in your mouth" for an extra week? Perhaps a stretch but hopefully it's another modest factor in our favor. Go Bills! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to do a pretty good job against Kelce, who's no slouch. But I'm thinking that was because he normally is so much of the Chiefs game plan that they doubled him a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know they are up against the wall with not much room for error if they want to make the playoffs. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Bills need to consult w some rugby guys about that Eagles play to get one yard or so. the Eagles play is very Rugby like, and there must be ways to stop it. I notice the eagles linemen have their pads almost on the ground. I wonder if they are crossing legs after the snap like the Rugby guys do. (linemen are called hookers btw because of that) Anyhow, I am surprised nobody in the NFL has figured out how to stop that Eagles play so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad weather plus they double teamed Kelce a lot given that there is literally no other receiver threat on the team they can do a lot of that stuff. Thanks to Diggs the Eagles cannot do that same game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the Eagles overall statistics on that push play but they've been successful every time I've seen it. Bottom line is it does make it tougher on defenses, because any down (including 4th) with a yard to go gets converted to a 1st. So really all they need is 9 yards in 3 downs and they're good to go. Like you I've been hoping someone could figure out a way to stop it - at least some of the time. I suspect they may ban it in the off-season, but we'll be dealing with it next Sunday.

I think Buck mentioned on the broadcast Monday that it’s only been unsuccessful twice since the beginning of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Stadium Original Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Bills have 2 DBs on IR, 2 were limited in practice, and 3 didn't practice at all today. I think that officially hits the "decimated" threshold. If the D-line doesn't play lights out, I would expect the Eagles to put up a lot of points. The question is can the new, "more fun" offense keep up if it needs to, and hope for some breaks or turnovers. Turnovers and unforced errors by our side might be too much to overcome.

BillMafia716ix Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Team 6-5. On the outside looking in for the playoffs now you’re playing 9-1 defending NFC champs on the road. This the game you need your star QB to show up. Yea it was cool beating the Jets but that’s a team going nowhere. This the real deal right here… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
