Bills start two backup Tackles vs the Steelers pass rush, and TJ Watt was a ghost out there

[Special K]

 

As much as people like to rip Brady, he constructed a game plan that neutralized the strength of the Steeler Defense....the Pass Rush.

 

Kudos to Van Demark and Anderson for performing at a high level in a tough situation, as well.

 

Go Bills!!!

Bye, bye Dion Dawkins?

It wasn't just those two.

The Bills were throwing a variety of players at Watt all night long.

Anyone know how long SVPG was in for?

Pawn rush!

Game script mattered a ton.

 

It worked out, but I think we can thank our defence for keeping our offence in the game.

 

Because if Pittsburgh capitalized on our offensive mistakes in the 1st half, it's a completely different ball game on offence   which would have forced us to pass more

Honestly, not gonna lie, I don't think Dawkins would have performed that well today

[SoonerBillsFan]

It makes me wonder if they need to look at making a change this offseason.   Brown busts his butt, but isnt great at pass blocking

 

I get Dawkins is popular, does community stuff,but its been broken down how for I guess weeks now, he gives up on blocks early.   Several have seemed to wonder if he is just about the popularity vs. Being a great football player anymore.   Not good when those questions arise for the guy protecting your QB's blind side.

Our best offensive player was 47

Simply put, today was an Aaron Kromer game.

Knowing what we know now, we would’ve won if our tackles would’ve left the game right after their injuries last week and didn’t try to stubbornly play through them

On a day when James Cook had 177 yards from scrimmage that’s what you choose to say?

I kind of think the week of first-team practice reps and game planning made a difference.

 

No way they go in there cold last week and do what they did today.

Dawkins didn't have concussion symptoms until after the game so I don't know how you can blame coaching for that.  You're definitely right about Brown though.

[Dafan]

Our back up tackles looked decent today because we rarely threw downfield.  Best way to answer a pass rush...runs and screens.  And they did that.  On pass plays, Allen had little time.  We're not gonna be able to do that against many teams.  Crap, until the scoop and score...and then a pick, 6 plays later, our offense had still only put up 3 points.

I mean, it’s a little hyperbolic, but the defense was great today. Benford even had more points. 🤷‍♂️what’s the issue

Brown is a top 10 RT DD has regressed to a middle of the pack LT. Overall better than most pairs in the NFL. They had a bad game highlighted by also a poor game plan. SB has 5-7 more years of effective play. DD needs to rededicate himself to get back on track. The OTs have been darn good for the Bills the past 3 years or so.  With the depth and better design this is the least of the Bills issues.

Brady was criticized all week for his pathetic adjustments to Houston’s pass rush.  The gameplan had to be what we saw, or he might have been the scapegoat firing tomorrow.  
 

The pass offense was still pretty bad all game, and I still question his ability to adjust mid-game or find solutions when the rushing attack isn’t working.
