Did you not notice the DBs were not in on many tackles until several yards down field? It is the reason why Gabe Davis has been one of the few skills players on offense getting 100% snaps. He replaced Touchdown Jesus in that role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty is alive Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 This is the first game in a LONG LONG time I think the Bills coaching staff wildly outdid the Cowboys on both side of the ball. The oline rhythm was outstanding, Pass rush superb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodson being penalized was unfair I thought. Dak was still running and looked like he was about to cut inside. I mean he barely started the slide process and he was basically on top of Dodson. QBs, if they want to be protected, need to slide to allow an appropriate amount of space and human reaction time to the defender. Same thing goes for QBs running out of bounds. To really cut down on the helmet-to-helmet, the NFL has taken the attitude "we don't care if it's intentional, we don't care if it's late, you hit helmet to helmet it's a penalty. Wanna avoid a penalty? Figure it out." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the prototypical Dallas player. His effort sunday was not good imo and he has a podcast he does and he was calling out the media. I think there was something physically wrong with him on Sunday; you could see it early in the first series. Minimal jump, zero power and sucking wind like 4 plays into the game. He was either sick or playing hurt. 15 minutes ago, GottaRun said: I was at the game and didn't notice Von out there, also don't see him in the stat sheets. Did he play? He probably played more snaps than he has all year. He wasn't "horrible" but he wasn't very effective either. Pushed the pocket a couple times and might have flushed Dak once or twice but couldn't really finish anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh could score 40 and I wasn’t convinced we wouldn’t give up 41. We blew so many games on the final drives, I believe it was a warranted concern. These last two weeks have felt different and if we play the same way the next three weeks, we can beat anyone Great to see you back writing this iconic post. The Defense which looked fecless at times during the season acted like Dallas took their kid sisters lunch money and insulted their mom. That was a mean defense, tackling through the player. If this intensity can be continued, I feel bad for anyone we play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Not all defenses for rest of year will not be unable or unwilling to adjust. That defense against Dallass reminds me of defense of L. Jackson in playoffs - perfect defense for that offense created for that game which absolutely frustrated QB.

He's one of our biggest hitters when he's healthy. I'm a little puzzled by the "Hyde avoid big hits" too. Both Milano and Hyde are clean tacklers. They wrap up and drive with their legs, they don't come flying in head-first and turn their back - which can generate a super-hard hit, but also a spectacular whiff. (I used to cuss Whitner for this) That said I don't think the guys Hyde and Milano have hit think "wow, what a softy". They both thump. Maybe by "avoid big hits" the OP means "doesn't run full speed and launch like a missile", which I agree with Edited December 20, 2023 by Beck Water 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBs, if they want to be protected, need to slide to allow an appropriate amount of space and human reaction time to the defender. Same thing goes for QBs running out of bounds. Not sure I agree on the Dodson take, he could have pulled up. Instead he lead with his head and elbow above Dak's shoulder as he was going into his slide. If it was Allen, I would want that call. As to Rapp, I think you are spot on. He leaves his feet and leads with his helmet. Those guys are just as likely to take out their own guys because they don't have good tackling form and control.

NewEra Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Thanks Virgil! one thing I haven’t seen many talk about this week has been the DL. Ed, Floyd, Rousseau, Von and JP were monsters. They stayed in their lanes and dominated. McD did a great job disguising the rush and bringing additional pressure. Dak had nowhere to go with the ball and that was thanks to a helluva game plan and effort. if we can continue to get this kind of production from our D, I really like our chances of winning the afc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Thank God we're back to pulling our OL. It will make a world of difference. I think the defense feeds off the renewed success of the offense. Cook is special and must be prioritized.

The Frankish Reich Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 What I loved about Brady vs. Dorsey: Dorsey would've followed what he considered the conventional wisdom. "Hey, we've got the running game working; time to use a little play action and let Josh take some shots down field." What Brady and Josh did was more what Belichick used to do to us: "Their personnel is not equipped to stop the run; we'll double down on that until they show they can stop it." I remember those games where Belichick used a fullback and heavy set to do that to us, and to other teams. Tom Brady would get his 300 yards on some other Sunday. A refreshing change. A blowout victory with < 100 passing yards. The old "they've shown they can win in different ways." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carrion Birds are not first round byes and we are not facing them second round of playoffs I have confidence they can make a plan which can stop him again. Ravens have never beaten Bills in playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
