Bleeding Bills Blue

Didn't even mention - buffalo is currently 7th in the league in rushing yards. They also have tied for the 3rd most first downs on the ground, and the 11th best YPA. The YPA seems shocking, when you consider trubisky, breida, mckenzie, and gilliam have 14 carries for 28 yards between them.

In zone you aren't always going to be able to break up a pass. He's been a tackling machine so far this year, so thats been big.

It wasn't garbage time. It was a 10 point game with 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Just use both of them. They don't need a lead back.

He was averaging 6+ yards per carry the last 2 games. The Miami game had some struggles but it's not as if he had plays blocked up well in that game.

The only drive where buffalo scored in the 2nd half of the Pitt game featured a couple nice gains by Singletary. I'd just roll with the hot hand on that particular day.

I think there was a plan around it - usually kickers aren't that far upfield.

Bass also kicked one out of bounds.

They didn't apologize for giving Houston the ball when the returner caught it and threw it on the ground...

They are playing a 3rd string Quarterback. They tend to second guess things, panic, and hold the ball. All things that will lead to turnovers against buffalo. They don't have the running game to take pressure off of him either. Their defense really doesn't do much of anything particularly well. To me the trap game requires... something. A QB, a RB, a playmaker who is capable of turning a game in your favor. That or just, miserable weather or something.

Work smarter, not harder 😉. They didn't chip much, the running back pass pro was usually up the middle too.

Yep - its why NE never had a ton of big sack #'s guys. They preach rush depth so you don't get caught up field like that.

Not enough interior push.... and sweat on the other side was totally handled. Williams and Allen were in sync just creating lanes for him to escape the pocket all afternoon. When they did muddy it up allen escaped around the edge and made plays.

They gave up 300 yards of offense, and 80 came on a screen. They had 13 first downs, and their worst rushing total of the season. They're currently a top level defense against run and pass. You pick up the option because you don't have a capable in-house replacement. It buys you a year to find one in the draft, if you find that his extension negotation is too rich for your budget. They grabbed several budget mike LBs this offseason in Lee and Adams, and both were cut. I also don't think there's a single player on the defense who thinks - oh we should start AJ Klein. So to me? That's the end of the discussion. People nitpick plays he doesn't make, but ignore plays he does make as "he's supposed to do that".

Cost of doing business. Tickets aren't 40 dollars anymore

100% they do this. My friends a broker and his rams tickets financed the 10k license over 6 years.

2019 bills came out and beat jets giants bengals. Also had some cupcakes in Denver and Washington that year. Just play the schedule you got and ignore the haters.

Basically holding with the ball in the air, thats always PI. He made some nice plays, but I wasn't super impressed? Then again i have CMC in fantasy so i was watching through an annoyed lens. I did think hubbard looked alright though so that was a silver lining i suppose.

On the replay he pulled the receivers arms and didn't play the ball. So it probably was PI

I don't think benching is always a good strategy. Players can improve week to week, technique, film study etc. Motivate someone before u bench them.

Probably. I don't think Fields is it though. At least this year. Are you trying to just let him take lumps and go 6-10 or are you trying to make the playoffs? Not sure Dalton is the answer there either, but I think Dalton's more likely to.

I'd think Gonzalez Gronk Kelce Gates Witten I try to avoid tight ends from back in the day - any of these guys would have dominated back then so... on my all time list they all go ahead. I think Sharpe was a great player, but I think I'd rather have gates in the RZ or witten as a blocker.

Watching the jets game? They probably called like 8 plays. Why put anything on film when you can win this game running inzide zone and the same 3 pass plays? The dead last in completed air yards is still... strange. 3 yards? 3 yards!!!

His ADOT of 3 yards is a full 3 yards lower than Big Ben, and 4 lower than Herbert. He's legit throwing the ball an average of 3 yards from the LOS. I didn't even know it was possible to average that over 2 games.

I thought he played alright against Miami with what i saw. A few things to note - No player on NE has an average depth of target of greater than 8 yards(Buffalo has 4 players, i doubt there's anyone in the league throwing passes shorter than this). 6 of the 8 targeted players have an ADOT of 3 or less. 318 of the 467 yards were yards after the catch. 165 of buffalos 449 passing yards were yards after catch. Jones is averaging 3 air yards per pass attempt. And completing passes at a little under 3 yards per completion. The entire team had 260 yards and 17 first downs against the jets. That would be worse than the average yardage output that the jets put out in 2020, and just about the same with regards to first downs. The jets defense is bad.

Essentially make some quick gainers to knox and singletary who are in single coverage with LBs. Or create a rush lane to get free yards scrambling. If they want to play 2 high safeties in 2 man, make them stop. Mahomes and Wilson do this constantly and get those 10-15 yard easy first downs trotting out of bounds. Force them to spy, or adjust - and hit them when they do.
