Bangarang Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Davis being out may be a blessing in disguise. Sherfield is a solid blocker as well and Shakir’s game is better suited for the weather as opposed to Gabe’s. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passing game should be impacted quite a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, who needs Davis’ stupid 33 tds when you can have 2 guys who have a combined 8 tds!  davis has his flaws but this hate is getting next level dumb. 4 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said:  Since the passing game may not be a big factor this week I'd definitely roll the dice and sit Douglas.  Going to need him 100% against the Chiefs/Browns/Texans in next round. I get what you’re saying but assuming a win is pretty risky. Considering Pitt are the type of teams we have has problems with (physical, think we are much better than them).  this should be an easy W but it’s still the playoffs. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Diggs’ snap count has been down so I bet we do see a lot of 12. Especially with the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since79 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Some one asked how long we stay in nickel? Â The response was unlikely because T Johnson is one our best tacklers. Â Is there a chance they play 4-3. T. Johnson at corner and add the third lb like Kline to better stop the run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And obviously the weather is going to be a huge factor (I’m soft, I want a dome, this hurts our offense). But I think the best way to attack Pittsburgh is to spread the field with receivers. But obviously, we may not a choice now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Oof. Still, if there is a week to rest it's probably this. That said, this would be the one game where Rapp throwing himself around like missile would be worth the risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If Dotson can go, no problem, call up Playoff Lenny and Isabella. If Dotson can't go, AJ Klein over Isabella.   If Douglas can't go it's Elam's time to get some playing time behind Benford & Jackson.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundo91 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Davis has put up big numbers in the past against the Steelers, and is by far the Bills best blocking WR. This is a big loss for this game regardless of the conditions. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I give Davis props to is his blocking. If it is gonna be a run game because of the weather, I think he will be missed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously, we may not a choice now.  I agree. Short passing from a spread formation with Josh having the arm to extend that medium (I hope we don't get carried away with the deep shots). Allows more spacing for Cook to get his yards before contact, and for Josh to take off. What I really want to see is better hot route awareness in Blitzes. Josh gets some of his best runs when teams are in coverage, and isn't his best escaping or completing short-medium on blitzes. Without Watt, and with a propensity to blitz anyway, Tomlin will definitely come after us. We get no partial credit for almost hitting the cover zero deep ball, but Diggs and Kinkaid 7-15 over and over will make them pay (or whoever else is open early).

Davis is not a savvy route runner who can get open quickly. He builds up speed and does his best work down the field. In a game with severe winds and limited visibility, that environment doesn’t play to his strengths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
