McD came up with a great scheme that day, one that Miami’s McD complimented him on after the game. I don’t understand why we haven’t seen more of it since. Losing our star veteran LB and then our shutdown Corner who was coming back into form probably limited things not to mention our run stuffing DT. We've found patches for the DT and corner but it's hard to be as flexible when you're covering for what's missing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlbills13 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Dallas has some intense home/away splits and they also seem due for a clunker game coming off a big win over the Eagles. But I also think they're a really really good team. Dak is on a heater, Lamb may be the best WR in the NFL this season, Pollard is more than capable, and there are superstars on defense. I think the Bills need to play well but most importantly need to play disciplined in this one. Don't give away free yards with penalties or careless mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - to me it's not even as much how it affects the play on the field as the psyche of the players. Get a lead, the environment hostile and weather miserable and some guy start thinking man this sucks and dreaming of a warm bus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a few weeks went by where we were one of the worst defenses in the league before we got replacements for those guys which is huge when a win or two separates us from missing the playoffs or having a shot at the 1 seed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, yes, we've had some big injuries.. -Cleveland lost their QB, their elite RB and just lost two important Defensive players this past week. -Baltimore lost Mark Andrews for the year. -Los Angeles Chargers lost Herbert for the year and had guys in and out of the lineup all year. -Pittsburgh lost their QB. -Houston lost their best WR. -New York Jets lost Aaron Rodgers 4 plays into the season. -Miami has guys in and out of the lineup every week right now and just lost their best Offensive Lineman for the year. Rasul Douglas has essentially been a 1 for 1 replacing Tre. That leaves a downgrade from Daquan Jones to Linval Joseph. But Joseph is a solid player .. he's not a bum. And the big missing piece being Milano, where we clearly downgrade with Dodson, rookie Williams etc.. but most teams have a big injury like this. It is what it is. Figure it out. Jets/dolphins trot injury prone offensive linemen out there every year without much depth behind them then are shocked when these same players get injured every year lol. the jets apparently thought it would be a good idea to plop a 38 year old qb with two calf injuries behind a tackle that never plays due to injury and another tackle that is an old man coming off season ending surgery. I don’t think they belong on this list lol they do it to themselves. other teams yea it’s tough luck but it’s something you’ve gotta figure out if you want to compete. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 With Hyde and Epenessa likely out, the Bills D has lost to many top performers. Milano, White, Jones, Miller and those two. I am thinking this isn't the Bills year. Luck of the draw on injuries. Need to get younger on D so that injuries are less likely. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's saying rain and windy 🤦♂️ Lived in Buffalo my whole life, should have known better than to rely on a weather forecast 4 days out. Well, to be fair, you're still 3 days out and the forecast isn't much more reliable today. 20 minutes ago, bigK14094 said: With Hyde and Epenessa likely out, the Bills D has lost to many top performers.

So crazy to see epenesa talked about in this way now compared to a year ago haha. I don’t think it’s too many top performers out…Rasul is playing really well and has negated the loss of white, benford is healthy again, Joseph has stepped in ok for jones. The defensive ends are pretty deep too. It’s really just Milano that’s a huge loss and every team has at least one of those there’s a good chance epenesa,Hyde, and even maybe jones are back for the playoffs too should we make it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both adds have been massive amd CB a pure upgrade. And if McDermott's system needs am all world LB to make it work... time to change systems. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The KC win had a couple great plays but overall it was a “boring” win with some bend but don’t break D and a couple big takeaways. I think they can beat Dallas with another boring win. When Buffalo gets into trouble it’s when they get drunk on throwing downfield when they don’t need to and going 3 and outs. Just ball control it, mix in some short passes and off script Josh runs and i think they will come out with a W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cray51 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 You can run the ball right at Parsons and he will allow yards. He doesn't gap contain incredibly well. When you drop back, roll Allen away from Parsons and let the quick passing game be a consistent part of the offense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
