Tampa Run Defense

[Mikie2times]

Brady will have a big opportunity to silence critics here. Tampa is 4th in EPA run defense and 1st in run defense success rate. Is it possible we impose our will after a complete turd? Sure. But I don't think Tampa is coming in overlooking anybody off a big loss at home to New England. Henderson popped two huge runs, outside of those runs NE had 25 carries for 42 yards. They had 3 TD's over 50 yards and 4 total plays over 50 yards.

After the past 5 games(2-3) how confident are you that we win this game?

[Big Turk]

Man I dunno...Henderson just scored on runs of 55 and 69 yards against them yesterday...

We’re at home and just got embarrassed we will probably run the ball well and play ok on defense and win. However, that won’t change the inevitable wild card blow out loss that will ultimately be the end of our season.

I have learned this team is at it's best when nobody believes in them. With that said, this is a horrible match up for our offense. So it should be a pretty good litmus test of what is real and what isn't real with this team. No way we come out flat here, but the sort of match up many said would be our demise.

Heh, you said turd...

Any team can bust a big run. One of those was with a stacked box at the end of the game. The greater point is this is a team that seems built to disrupt our standard formula. We should have a pretty good idea of that coming in. They have held 6 teams to under 100 yards total rushing and the per play advanced stats on run defense are among the best in football. Better than New England when looking at both. So this is the type of team people have been calling out as far as being difficult to move the ball on. We will see if we have any answers.

Miami allows 140 rushing yds/game. What did they do?  They sold out to stop the run and forced our WRs to beat their mid secondary and those bums couldn't do it.

 

That's the blueprint to stopping this offense and with Kincaid out, that just got even easier.

And do NOT call a tush push next week. Vita Vea is a one man wrecking crew on that play. 

 

Which means Brady will call at least 4 of them

Yeah they are good, but so were the Chiefs who hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher at the RB position in 26 games until we played them.

 

If the Bills execute properly we can run against pretty much anyone. If they don't and are sloppy in their preparation and are off on details, then that makes it a lot easier to stop them. 

 

The problem is our team seems to lack focus more often than usual this year for whatever reason.

KC isn't exactly the pinnacle here. This is the best run defense we have faced this season.

Zero.  They are coming off a loss and they will be pissed.  I see maybe 2 winnable games on the remaining schedule and this ain't one

An old work friend was from T and T in the Caribbean. Thats how he used to say "third" like on the "turd" of November. Well that was the Bills Turd of November, hopefully no more where that came from!

We better run lots of counters and outside runs. Vita Vea is a monster in the middle, and I watched him single handedly stop Phillys tush push. I would be a huge mistake if even try and run at him.

Maybe because they gave up a lot of yards to us?

Maybe the Bills should run a lot of screen passes.  See if that works.

I am actually very confident because it’s in Orchard Park. The Bills typically rebound very well after bad games. Does this mean they’re going to win the Super bowl? I didn’t say that, but I really like the Bills chances in this one. edit: I like their chances with a healthy Palmer and Gabe Davis.

Over half the games they have played have resulted in 100+ rushing yards allowed. The stats are the stats. If you think our 141 yards is enough to eject them from the leagues rushing defense elite than I would think New England's 166 yards would do the same or maybe Detroit's 164. But that's not what the stats show. Not sure why we are even talking about this?

As confident as I was going into the game against the Chiefs. Close to zero.
