Confident, but nervous as hell

All this talk about lack of separation in passing game
oldmanfan replied to LabattBlue's topic in The Stadium Wall
Can I respectfully ask why would you not believe him? -
Should the Chiefs be worried that they threw for only 177 yards against the Texans? The folks that need to give it a rest are those who, despite knowing what Brady's style was going to be since before the season, persist in not acknowledging it. Because it was different when we played them in the regular season.

You seem to want to be deliberately obtuse. Youa re assuming the Bills offense will have the same plan this coming Sunday as they did this past Sunday. This past Sunday it was clear their plan was to be conservative, focus the defense on stopping Henry, and let Lamar and the Ravens make mistakes. Which they did. Will that be the same plan against the Chiefs? No. Because they aren't the same team and will require a different plan. Like the plan used earlier this year when we beat them.

Ok. Enough already. How many times does it need to be said that Brady is being consistent with what he has said since before the season? Everybody eats. Brady has shown throughout the season that he will devise games plans and call plays based on the defense in front of him. The one constant has been a commitment to a mix of pass and run, but there are games where they will be more run oriented and more conservative with the pass game as they were Sunday, and games where they will be more aggressive with the passing game as they did against the Lions earlier this year. This offense before this past Sunday had I think 10 games in a row scoring over 30 ppg (take out the Pats game with the second stringers). It is time for fans and media and everyone else to realize this Bills offense is really good. The O line is really good. The RBs are really good. The WRs and TEs are good and both complement the run game and play into the unselfish everybody eats format. And Josh is other worldly.

Legitimate Concern With Officiating This Weekend?

I think Blakeman will be fair. I hope. -
Last offensive series and the 2 point conversion defense
oldmanfan replied to PoundingDog's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am not so sure Andrew’s gets the 2 points even if he caught it. Because he had to contort himself it’s possible he is either marked down or out of bounds before the ball hits the goal line. -
Base 4-minute Offense - How the Bills Win in January
oldmanfan replied to Ralonzo's topic in The Stadium Wall
Very good breakdown. Brady said at the beginning of the year the philosophy was everybody eats, and they've done that effectively using the run and pass games to complement each other. The O line is playing great, and Josh has become a master at finding the open guy (not having to force feed Diggs has been a revelation). Still, so many fans are saying we're wasting Josh and we need to target Cooper and so on. Can't argue with success though, and we're putting up a ton of points each week. -
Part 2- Another disaster by McDs defense in the playoffs
oldmanfan replied to RoscoeParrish's topic in The Stadium Wall
It seems to me the plan was to focus on taking away Henry and forcing Jackson to beat us, knowing Jackson is prone to errors. And it worked. -
Being nitpicky: please let Allen pass the ball more
oldmanfan replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
We did not get lucky they turned the ball over 3 times. We baited Lamar’s into a puck, Hamlin made a great play to force Lamar to try and change hands with the ball, and Bernard made a great play to punch the ball out. -
Interestingly neither Hopkins nor Brown caught a pass Saturday.

AFC Championship Game Week Thread - Bills at Chiefs
oldmanfan replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
If I am Beane and Pegula I am on the phone with the league demanding the guy that reffed the Chiefs-Texans game not be allowed to have the championship game. The Chiefs are unbeaten with him, and the roughing calls on Saturday were absurd. I read somewhere the ref was saying he THOUGHT he saw contact to the ehad so threw a flag. You don't think you saw something, you have to KNOW you saw it.
