Keep Garrett off Allen ( moving the pocket for once would be nice), use more 2 TE,and Blitz Sanders and we SHOULD win by 20.

 

Now... let's see if this staff can just do the obvious.

Design some screens over Garrett, that would be added if I were Offensive Coordinator.  Garrett is going to win many battles.  Use his aggression against him, throw to spot he vacated

Garrett apparently played with a slight hip injury Sunday. No further info on how serious or whether it affects his availability for Bills' game.

Garrett suffered a hip injury in yesterday's game. He played through it, and said it hindered him. His 1.5 sacks were before the injury. I'm sure he'll play this week, but won't be 100%.

He should definitely rest and let it heal this week

I've had the same thought: Early in the game, Allen sits down when Garret is near him, giving Garret the record and getting on his good side.

It makes some kind of weird sense, but it's just not in Allen's DNA.

It'll work on Aaron Rodgers next week.

I'm really considering taking my son to this game.  It's about a 10 hour drive.

I haven't finished Christmas shopping so this would be one of his presents.  Tickets are dirt cheap.  I can get really good seats, next to the field for like $110 a piece.

 

This memory of going to another game I think would mean more.  Not to mention I took him to the Falcons and Panthers game.  We're already going to Buffalo next week for the Eagles game for our annual trip to a home game.  

 

I think I gotta do it.  

 

I just did it.  I got tickets right next to the Bills tunnel that were $83 a piece lol.  $83.  Andre Reed.

I was just looking at the stats from the Browns Bears game.  Cleveland's defense has got some quality talent, but this is the 30th ranked offense in the league.  They had 190 net yards against the Bears with three turnovers and only 27 minutes of possession.  If McD and Babich can't stop these guys, they should hand in their swipe cards.  Bills are a net zero in turnovers, Browns are a -4, with three of those yesterday.

Let Garrett sack you 1.5 times early on so he gets the record, and then he can sit so doesn't screw up his hip.

I will say the same thing I said before the Texans game. We don’t need to win this game. We need to basically force the Browns to lose this game. If we commit no turnovers, no sacks, no ST gaffes, play clean, and take points any time we can get them, they will make the mistakes and lose this game. 
 

I just want to get out of there with a stress-free sort of 23-10 kind of win.

Deone Walker meanwhile has a 61 PFF rating. Both he and Larry with limited snaps though.

I'm wondering if they have been limiting his snaps because of his history of back issues. Only thing I can think of for why he isn't taking on a bigger role. 

[PoundingDog]

The best path to get a 4TD lead on the Browns, then the last 10 minutes you play Trubisky and backup Tackles so Garrett can eat some to be happy.

[Rockinon]

I don't think Garrett will be a problem. We've got some great blockers. Run the ball right at him might actually be a good idea.

That's not nice to sacrifice Trubisky that way...lol

McD says Prater is out with a quad injury.  Bills need to find another kicker this week.

MFR! It seems like it always something after each game that is unexpected on the injury front.

Yeah, McD's record against rookie QBs is quite good because he's elite at disguising with his pre-snap looks.

 

I feel like Sanders will have another rough outing.

 

 

This is exactly right.

McD's defensive strengths are fostering communication, teamwork, and effort, and disguising the D at presnap.  

 

McD's never had a bunch of Olympic athletes on defense, but his combination of coaching strengths usually earns us a top 10 ranking anyway.  But because our success is significantly driven by presnap disguises, we don't typically do well against good offenses with elite QBs (like Mahomes and Burrow in the playoffs) who aren't easily fooled and can beat us mano a mano. 

 

I think Sanders will struggle against this D, despite our injuries and shortcomings.

I wish.  McD said he just learned about it today.  Says he'll be week to week.
