Good news is the chiefs and ravens both lost so if we lose tomorrow it’s not that bad 

Uh, Houston, we have a problem. Go Colts. Break a leg.

Are a two handed Mahomes and Mayfield better that’s a one handed Rodgers

Yes but their DL ain’t as good as the Steelers.

 

I see this game being very similar to the Texans game. Josh gets beat around all day and we get into a fight in the mud that we don’t want to be in.

Hopefully it’s not a repeat of last week.  Emmanuel Acho’s video review of the Houston game clearly showed NO ONE getting open on all 8 sacks. It also showed our o-line getting beat very quickly on almost every play.

 

Anyone who watched the video knows the answer isn’t “Josh needs to get rid of the ball quickly “.  The answer is better play calls, shorter routes, misdirection plays,, draw plays, something, anything to give Josh a chance back there!

Triple option 😁

Gilliam and Ray Davis should have at least five carries tomorrow.  In addition to Cook’s 25.  Limit the chances for Joe Brady/Josh’s competitiveness to get a Josh killed and move on.

Move the d line side to side and tire them out a bit.  Lots of quick hitters, no PA with Josh’s back turned, and maybe one or two planned shot plays.  Otherwise don’t get 17 killed.

Hope he throws a few on the dirt.

I said it in another thread and I will state the same here. I do NOT want to hear any excuses from the Bills about our 2 starting OTs being out. Teams across the league have multiple missing lineman and still generate offense. 

 

We are told how deep our roster is. Let's see the product on the field reflect that

Interesting that you said that since Jones is attempting to play on a literal broken leg. 

 

Against that defense, I'm sure it will go super well...lol

Van Denmark and Anderson better be able to the job along with Brady having RBs and TEs chip on the way out.

Exactly. So I'm half expecting to see Brady run all plays out of 5 WR looks.

Weirdly, I’d be gone with that if it means the ball comes out fast.

I think we'll be ok with Grabel sp? and RVD. However, I feel much pity for Edwards across from Heyward. At least Harmon isn't playing.....I don't think.

[Jester]

This is Brady’s chance to be creative. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 If he trots out his regular, mundane, predictable play calls, we’re doomed. Also, hope he remembers that he has Hawes - the blocking tight end that everyone has been touting. Lord, I’m getting mad already!! 😡

There is zero reason for this to occur unless Joe Brady has some violent fetish in watching Josh Allen get beat up.

 

We know we’re down two starting tackles. 
 

We know Pittsburgh has a strong DL. 
 

There are zero excuses to not have TE’s, a 6th OL, RB’s etc stay in to help protect. 
 

Going into the Texans game, it was reasonable to expect Brown & Dawkins, arguably the best Tackle

duo in the league, to hold their own.  
 

They didn’t and Brady never adjusted.  Because Brady can’t adjust.  He panics when the bullets are live and can’t deviate from his gameplan.  He’s a joke of an OC .. but he knows what’s coming this game.   Has a full week plus to prepare for it.  
 

Zero excuses for Allen to get beat up

like he did against Houston.  I’m not saying our Offense will look good.  It might be a slog.  But it d**n well better not be due to JA getting hit 30 times.

A 6th OL means one less dude to barely get open when passing the ball lol.

 

why don’t we just do 7 OL and have nobody to run routes?

Texans have 5 losses and we’re the only

team to go in there and run primarily five man protections.  To that extent that Demeco Ryans felt the need to mention this in an interview this past week.  
 

All the routes run in the world don’t matter if Allen gets immediate pressure. 
 

Gonna have to make some sacrifices without our starting tackles against Watt and co.  Anything less would be legitimate malpractice in protecting the only player on this team that truly matters in terms of making any type of run to, and into, the playoffs.

Don't worry.  Brady has a plan.

Declare the whole line eligible every offensive snap and put 10 men in the pattern. Someone has to get open quickly… right? RIGHT?!?!

Get the ball out quick and Josh has to be better at pocket awareness. This is not the matchup for dancing around the pocket 

Agree/. All the three RBs need to be involved along with Hawes
