bills44 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The DEs need to disrupt Brees' rhythm, the way they did to Brady in the first half of the season opener. They've been MIA since halftime of the NE game. Without that, I don't think the Bills can beat the Saints. I'd also like to see press coverage from the CBs, but I doubt that'll happen.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 2008 Saints' record on the road: 2-6. They have one already. We'll see if they are a better team than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 If N.O plays their best game and Buffalo plays their best game i hate to say it but i like N.O (close). Haveing said that, how Buffalo beat N.O is to not turn the ball over, do not settle for field goals, and big plays on special teams. If Bills can win the turn over margin and convert third downs in the red zone to first downs or touchdowns, they can win this game. I also hope the lake can blow some rain in around 4 pm.

Dan Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Dan lol What I mean is they are a offensive powerhouse and we would have to be better then them offensively Yeah, I knew what you meant, but you lobbed that one up pretty easy for me. I'm not sure we can keep pace with them in a traditional shoot out game. Maybe. But, I think the defense is going to have to stop the Saints and/or force some field goals. We consider the Bills' offense as doing well because they're scoring 2-3 touchdowns per game (in the first 2 games). But, the Saints have scored 6 per game. So to think we can suddenly score more touchdowns that we have in several games combined is hoping for a miracle, IMO. Hence, I think the key to this game is the defense. If we keep the Saints to 4 touchdowns, we've got a shot. And the key to that, IMO, is 3rd down defense. We've been getting eaten alive on 3rd downs. The TOP is as lopsided as it is because our defense can't get off the field. This Sunday they've got to fins a way to do that. Just straight blitzing Brees probably won't do it; he seems to sharp for that. So, I think they'll have to disguise their coverages really well and pick their spots.

Guest dog14787 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 The Saints have rushed the ball close to 60 times in the first two games averaging over 4.5 yards per carry. Stop the run, stop the Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 although injuries and not having lynch are bad for this, i think we have a solid shot on the saints. brees does his worst on the road against cover 2 teams. they are a great O, but not a grind it out O, and they take chances. we will produce turnovers and they won't run well (best backs are hurt, our run d is very solid). they might get a lot of yards, but we'll be able to frustrate them and force a long field. i think we can and will score on their D.

Doc Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 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.

firemedic Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I've heard a lot of talk about the Saint's suspect defense. We should run a slow nohuddle with a few quick snaps here and there. Hopefully that'll burn time AND keep them anxious. Lot's of running on Sunday.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Saints opened at home against Detroit. Well, that makes sense.

Bufcomments Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I think if the Bills don't turn the ball over deep in their own end of the field they should be alright . If you give Brees a turnover in your own half of the field its money points. Like to see Roscoe take one to the house and squash these trade rumors so we can get some points that way. Highly unlikely we get a Defensive TD 3 weeks in a row so T.O. better not drop any passes this week . If Fred Jackson has a game like last week and Trent has his normal 200 yd game with no INTs we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

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.

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...

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...
