Bleeding Bills Blue

The difference is Kupp/Woods/Higbee/reynolds vs. Harry/Edelman/Izzo. They also run more shotgun, and less no huddle. Shotgun/pistol gives you those front pitches that we occaisionally utilize to mckenzie, but play action out of shotgun is far less effective at creating space.

Didn't wilson have a 4th quarter comeback? Hell, he had a 6th TD lost because his receivers an idiot.

I do think a lack of any crowd noise is helping too. I know teams quiet down when your home team is on O, but I still feel its a bit louder than the fake noise. Do you really think McVay is dialing up the same plays, communicating with goff the same with 70000 screaming buffalonians? I'm not so sure.

I think there's only so many QBs who can just take over a game. If you don't have one - how can you score points? Build heavy along the line, run the ball well, and utilize QBs who are effective at play action. Tannehill can't put the team on his back, but if you have a lead he's accurate and athletic enough to take shots on PA.

Outside zone, play action bootlegs and half boots. They utilize a ton of motion too, play some tempo at times. They're a team that also absolutely benefits MASSIVELY from no crowd noise.

The only thing i think about Edmunds - The rams are a tough draw. Sooo much eye candy. Lots of play action. Bootlegs, screens, Half-boots. A strong zone rushing scheme too. They seemed to constantly catch linemen up field and henderson would run by. The linemen would then get good position to make 2nd level blocks. Not sure specifically what they needed to do differently, but I probably would've brought more players to the LOS at times. Try and force them to throw it down field more.

Makes sense. He planted to move inside and couldn't

I'll wait to actually see that he was the problem. I have no idea whats happening on any given play, but the rams had a ton of eye candy motion which freezes backers. He probably didn't play well, but I doubt we watch the all22 and come away saying that he was the only one playing poorly during a 29 point run. Hughes, Murphy, ed... etc. They all sucked in this game

His td was awesome. He had a real neat play last week. But the bad plays are killing them. He's like allen year 1, but its year 3 and I think he's getting worse. If u get an opportunity for Lawrence, take it.

The rams pose a lot of problems in the run game. And it showed. Struggles overpursuing all game long by everyone

Has to be reviewed anyway so let's see... I saw nothing to indicate kroft lost possession. And the PI call was a bit soft too

They're getting caught up field quite a bit on the longer runs.

Holdings down around the league this year, but they do a good job letting go at the right time

Agree, this is a solid O though with a top 5 offensive coach so... they usually score some points

Lines getting rolled

Show the ball, make them decide and then tuck or pitch. Its such a simple thing. But the rams aren't prepared for it, especially in the rz

Bringing extra pressure almost every play. The big plays they picked it up or called a screen

Interesting that they're dialing up pressure. They know he likely won't attack deep so... force him into his presnap reads

Big plays there to stop them

I think he could grow into that role a bit. The gunslinger mentality is there - the willingness to just huck it and chuck it. They basically played the whole game sitting in deep zones, and jax needed to play cleaner. Major struggles on 3rd down (typical for a young QB), Holding the ball taking sacks, all the stuff that takes time. He checked to a cover 0 deep shot that he should have hit, and promptly threw a terrible pick the next play. There's some gunslinger in him for sure, but i don't think thats like his top trait. He's accurate on short stuff.

Jets finished 7-9 last year after a 1-7 start. The fans saw it as - we had 3 games with terrible QBs so maybe we'll be good this year. But they beat up on the cupcakes on the schedule much like buffalo did. They even beat pitt and dallas. The losses to the jags and bengals were what cost them a shot at a wildcard. And then you have the W over buffalo's backups which is kinda meaningless. Now a year later - worse at WR, worse at CB, missing your all-pro safety... they're a worse team than last year. It's tough to start 0-2 and get the 9 or so wins that you need to get in. Of all the 0-2 teams i'd probably give houston the best chance. They started with the ravens and chiefs to begin the year. There's a 3rd wildcard and they still have 6 divisional games.

I'd find it difficult to spin. Anything downfield in the first 3 quarters and he was missing by a mile.

QB - 5 years of lawrence cheap - or 2 years of Darnold. If he fixes things he commands a ton of money, which forces you to dismantle what you're building. They lost a ton on their defense. But kubiak offenses can still make it happen with that zone rushing and PA. I think they can win a few games. Anyone should. He's a polished prospect, and fits in like any modern offense. Athletic, makes all the throws, a gamer in big situations.

Yeah - Moss has been thinking too much. Just do what got you here and play football. He has 6 fumbles in over 600 touches. Singletary has 4 in 200 touches, and i don't even want to get into Allens fumbling. This narrative is a bit played out.

There's not enough talent there. The defense is missing some key pieces - LB and CB. They don't have the ability to stop teams in man coverage, and they're not generating enough pressure to make anything happen in zone. On offense, the offensive line is probably better than they've played - but Bell looks done, Gore IS done, and they have like no one at WR. I assume Mims will get some touches simply because they don't have anyone else.
