This is what I was going to say.
This is the perfect time for him to do to the Pats what Welker/Edelman always did to the Bills.
Belichick will be focused on stopping Diggs/Knox and the weather will be poor.
They've already started a narrative on Josh's journey. They did a segment on it during the Thanksgiving game. They'll have plenty to talk about with the Bills.
Putin apparently didn't look at our conversation at all.
If the Pats defense sells out to stop the run, they're toast. They won't do that. Belichick will focus on stopping Diggs/Knox.
Exactly. We won't either.
You're talking about their running game being better than ours in a vacuum. I'm talking about the actual matchup.
Josh will be playing in this game. I expect him to be a part of the running game.
McKenzie is a jokester. I don't take anything he says to the public seriously.
Do you think we're gonna run a cover 2 shell against the Pats?
Do you think the Pats are gonna stack the box against us?
No?
Okay.
Good luck with that play action pass in the wind and rain/snow....
The Bucs smoked him. 4 sacks. There was a 4 game stretch where he was sacked like 10 times. If you stop the run and Jones has to throw 40+ times, you can definitely get to him.
Meh, the Bills have been better at running than NE and have a better run defense. 17 also has legs. He's a football player. Our best weapon needs to be able to play football like all the great QBs before him. This isn't arena football or just a game of catch.
I hope he's watched that Tenn/NE tape. 270 given up to the Titans' backup RBs and Tannehill.
It's gonna be windy/snowy. Brown+Feliciano are back. I feel like Breida/Singletary/Allen could do the same thing and control the game.
The first few drives are going to show us how the rest of this game goes.
Word is that Barmore's knee injury has been significantly affecting his run stopping ability. 270 yards given up to Tennessee's backups RBs.
I'm hoping it's still bothering him a lot.
Terrible DB play....I mean, you know where the guy is going. You see him look for the ball. You have to at least ATTEMPT to make a play.
"Will Clapp"
He sounds perfect for McDermott's team.
How is 3 yards per attempt so much better than 3.3?
Mind games. I think you're overthinking it.
On a related note, the trend of going for it simply because "analytics says so" is beginning to annoy me. Some coaches want to go for it regardless of how their team is performing. If you're team is struggling into FG range and losing the battle in the trenches, then kick the FG. Take the points. If your team just cruised into FG range on an easy drive and is winning the trenches, then go for it. Ride the momentum.
High school football?
