SCBills Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Please just win because after last year and us playing like we’ve never seen snow, and with all this bs leading into Sunday, I’d rather not go into every regular season thinking home field - for the entirety of our superstar QB’s career - is a negative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Someone more knowledgeable than I tell me that if this is a snow game, and we can’t pass due to wind, will our run game beat theirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say it favors them, because we can run our QB.. but it probably makes it a coin flip game if passing is almost taken out of the equation. Not sure Cook is an ideal RB for this game, but we shall see. I hope he makes me eat crow because ever since Dallas, I haven’t been impressed with him at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the conditions not suiting Cook, Ty Johnson passing the concussion protocol is great news for Sunday though... Hopefully him and Fournette can have an impact on the ground in this one. Plus as someone mentioned above, the Bills D normally holds Harris to low yardage... Let's hope that continues on Sunday. Regarding Douglas, I'd be wary of playing him on Sunday, he hasn't practiced all week so there's obvious a fairly significant knee injury there. A slippy field won't help that and do we really need him against the Steelers passing offence? Dane Jackson is fairly good against the run if I'm not mistaken. Let's rest Rasul for when we need him against better passing threats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakout Squad Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 31 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: He made such an impression on him in the 13 Seconds game, he can't help but put extra emphasis on his name now. It's cute I’m a Nantz homer but I think he’s the absolute best in the business. Great voice and knowledgeable about every team and players. And he’s always been a fan of Buffalo from afar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, SCBills said: I would counter that when McDermott can make a team one-dimensional, he’s usually very effective. I’d go back to the Ravens Playoff game where they were the team with the run game advantage but couldn’t really do much of anything. That being said.. if we struggle to score, all it takes is a turnover in a bad spot or missed gap and we’re chasing them. We also are a middling run defense because McD prioritizes defending the pass. There really isn’t a reason a DL consisting of Joseph, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau, Floyd and Lawson shouldn’t be dominant against the run if they want to be. ….but they’re going to have to be, especially if Dodson can’t go. I think we all know this is a huge advantage for the Steelers if the conditions severely limit our passing attack. Well, with Gabe and Rapp ruled out, I think the Bills have the freedom to not scratch Linval Joseph. So not saying the rush defense is all on him, but he's another big body to throw in there. Also, if either/both Douglas and Dodson are declared out, I wonder if Kingsley Jonathan is also made available. That way you have your entire defensive line available. Alec Anderson, Latavius Murray, Gabe Davis, Taylor Rapp, Rasul Douglas, Tyrel Dodson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really what this comes down to. Where are we healthy? In both trenches. Activate Joseph and throw big bodies up the middle. I am worried about the Bills loyalty to Von Miller.

Dont need a pass rusher in the snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The Bills will miss Gabe Davis' blocking, but this type of game is perfect for tight ends, and the Bills have two good ones. Knox and Kincaid might not leave the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing our QB is not 1 dimensional, he’s a raging rhino that can also throw the ball with a canon. Brady was basically a statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always thought this. I’d rather our playoff path every year go through Miami, Houston, and Las Vegas or LA than play games at home. I HATE it being this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
