gettysburgbills06 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm excited that the weather is supposed to be iffy (increasing wind as the game goes on and a little rainy) but I really want to see Trent put out a solid outing in adverse weather conditions. Hopefully the weather magnifies both teams running game and we control the ball. Are Leo and McGee going to play? I hope so Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Its the no huddle....... I have nothing against the no huddle and they are not playing it badly.....but the saints are the type of team that we are just not ready for right now..... - When we dont score it leaves our defense on the field to long - Our defense has been having a hard time getting off the field - If we blitz like last week this QB will make us pay The only way I see us winning this game is OUTSCORING them.......that and winning the time of possession game by running the ball down their throats.....TOP is also not a strong suit of the no huddle. I would actually like to see them huddle in this game. The playclock is around 1 sec. most of the time anyways, the huddle at the line lets Trent scan the defense and audible if necessary. The huddle actually gives Trent less time to scan and audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The Bills offense looks like it might be able to put up 30 points against the Saints. Will the Bills cover 2, bend-but-don't break defense hold up against Brees? That's the question. Being at home, having some nasty weather, and a loud crowd can help, but the Bills pass rush will have to show up, and the back seven needs to protect the middle of the field. Winning this game would be the signature win of the Jauron era. This team needs to finally show that it can beat a team with a winning record at home. The franchise has maturing talent and it looks as if the offensive gameplanning is finally on track. What they need now is to knock a good team in the teeth and rack up the win.

GrudginglyOptimistic Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Not to worry initially John as TOP is an issue if we get into a shoot out with them (likely we will lose if we just try to outscore them) when other factors taking the game one series at a time will determine whether the TOP results end of reflecting the game score. TOP is a critical indicator but you have to acknowledge these two stats are different things and hands down the final score is the only stat that matters, The actual things that matter actually line up fairly well for the Bills" 1. Do not turn the ball over much. The average Saints drive start this season was just beyond the 40 which is a tribute to them winning the ST battle and most of all of getting a good number of INTs. The good news for the Bills is that under Bobby April even with a mediocre team overall the ST basically has led the league in ST performance over the last three years. Edwards does check down a bit much though he finally aired it out a bit last week with great accuracy. If the Bills avoid gift wrapping the game for the Saints as the hapless Lions did behing their rookie QB and the Iggles did with their back-up the game need not become a track meet. 2. The primary benefit of the no huddle for us is that it makes pass protection a lot simpler for our incredibly inexperience OL. Face the facts that though Wood, LeVitre, and false start Bell are incredibly talented and the experience level drops even farther wih the loss of Butler and easing the OL load is issue one for this team. If we play to Evans and TOs strength, amp up the pressure by forcing them to cover Parrish one on one as they dt our WRs, the ability of Jackson as a receiver forces the other team to run a pretty standard 4 DL blitz easing things for our young OL. The no huddle is your friend and perhaps the main savior of TE and not making the same mistake as offensively challenged Lions and post McNabb Iggles. Even better their pass rush looks pretty mediocre after two games with them having racked up only two sacks (1 even to LB Vilma) despite them clearly having forced their opponents to load up and pass to catch their high scoring O. 3. Like regular football the key is basically to run and to stop the run. The Bills should be able to run on a Saints team which honestly deserves credit for their great offensive work even if it was against weak opponents but their D is after two games against troubled O ranked in the lower third of the NFL for most of the key defensive stats. If we run against them like we have and opponents have run against them and we avoid turnovers to their weak pass rushing team we can beat this team playing in our house. Starting the game with ST (which we are guaranteed to do) and using the no huddle to simplify the blocking assignments and stunts they will face strike me as keys to this game.

smuvtalker Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, that makes sense. I figured 3 straight road games was a pretty brutal f'ing way to start a season. As for their run game, Mike Bell is out. That's good news. Definitely good news, I agree. Mike Bell is by far their best running back. Pierre Thomas is pretty good, but not an every down back, and Reggie Bush is solely a gimmick player, pass-catching back. He doesn't strike fear in me at all. I don't know why, but i just have this weird feeling Buffalo is going to win this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 What was the last game we won where we didn't outscore the other team? You forget we beat the Pats* opening night...course, that was a moral victory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 As I've mentioned elsewhere, the no-huddle is the perfect attack against the Saints because Gregg "it's the scheme, not the players" Williams is their DC, and he LOVES to substitute frequently. The no-huddle neutralizes that. Screens should also work brilliantly against Williams' overly aggressive D. Buffalo will move the ball against these guys. No score predictions from me, but of that I'm certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Williams brings the heat this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbreeesss Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It's the 2nd straight road game for the Saints. It's supposed to be wet and windy. They are starting their 3rd string unproven RB. They will be without their Pro Bowl LT and 4th WR. Their front-7 is pretty weak and is missing a starting DT. The Bills have a very good chance against the Saints. Saints are starting their starting RB, Pierre Thomas. He's been hurt. He has been their starting RB since late last season. He's good to go. Brees throws 4 more.Saints win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
