    Why would you want Pitt to win any games? Knock any AFC contended down at this point in time unless they’ve run away with their division. 


    Would you rather play Steelers on the road or Ravens on the road?

     

    Seems like a pretty easy choice to me.

    Regardless of rank, our defense is far from stout. 
     

    If we swapped quarterbacks against Houston the final score is probably 40+ to <10. 
     

    when our offense is struggling, we can’t rely on our defense to shut the other team down. Give us turnovers, give us field position, give a spark. They are not a strength. 


    It’s a weird spot because our Defense usually does figure it out if they have a bad half, but with our Offense, when the game script flips and we are playing with the worry that it could get away from us, it seems to put extra strain on Josh Allen to where he doesn’t feel comfortable taking the easy stuff or avoiding sacks/turnovers.   Combined with Brady’s struggles, it then snowballs to become an all-game issue.

    I see people saying they don’t want to face Denver’s Defense or Indy’s running game in the playoffs. 
     

    I am 100% going to bet on Josh Allen vs Daniel Jones, Josh Allen vs Bo Nix and honestly.. Josh Allen vs CJ Stroud as I don’t think the Texans, who are a horrible matchup for our Offense, would do that twice, in one year, in the Playoffs. 
     

    We’re going to have to play someone.  Give me any game where we have the decided QB edge in the postseason.   Only games where that isn’t decidedly in our favor.. Burrow, Jackson (moreso due to his running game), Mahomes.  
     

    Not putting Maye there until he does it in the playoffs.. I see Herbert look good most years and in his playoff games, disasterclass. 
     

    I seem to remember having to play an elite defense in the WC last year.  Allen & Cook went bonkers on them.

    Daboll Fired

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I’ve seen Daboll’s Offense, beyond Year 1, look elite in the playoffs.

     

    We’re in Brady’s full Year 2, and have defenses saying they knew exactly what we’d try to do, with film guys all but calling Brady a simple idiot.  
     

    Absence does make the heart grow fonder.   In this case, it’s warranted.

    The problem with McD's comments is that he doesn't address the elephant in the room - the woeful first half performances of his defenses in multiple games. Against Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore & Tampa Bay the Bills D was largely non-existent for one half to three quarters of the game.  

     

    I've seen this bizarre and frankly disgusting shtick from McD before where he throws the offense under the bus for not plying great while making excuses for and/or not recognizing the putrid play of his defense -  a unit that gets the lions share of draft picks & FA signings and represents his personal area of expertise.

     

     

     

     


    It’s like we constantly defend and make excuses for our abuser. 

    “Well, the defense is so beat up...”  

     

    This refrain is now going on 3 years in a row.  Every year this is an excuse.  
     

    Something can’t be an excuse 3 years in a row.   At some point it’s reality and correlation does equal causation.  Sign old players.  Draft undersized players.  Extend injury prone players.   What do we think is going to happen?

     

    This Defense has:

     

    Current DL.. former 2nd Round Pick on an extension, former 1st Round Pick on an extension.  $12.6M DE.  Recent high 2nd Round Pick.  Recent high 4th Round Pick. $7M DT and an $8M DT. 
     

    LB..Recent extension at LB.  Recent 3rd Round Pick. $6M LB. 
     

    Slot.. $10M per year slot corner

     

    CB.. Recent extension.  1st Round Pick. 
     

    S.. Recent 2nd Round Pick. 
     

    But why should we ever expect them to be above average with a defensive minded HC with the losses of Oliver and Hoecht!?… that’s why.

    Honestly, if you really feel the division is out of reach (I do at this point) I'm pushing for the Pats over the Bengals. Keep them pushed down and out of the hunt.

     

    Likewise, I'm pushing for the Cards over the Jags to keep the Jags down lower.


    Unless CIN runs the table, they shouldn’t be an issue for us.  10-7 is probably the line and unless we lose three in a row, we’ll have the tiebreaker over PIT & BAL and/or knocked CIN down to 8 losses with a tie-breaker over them.

     

    Im pulling for them to beat NE, not only for the faint hope of the AFCE, but I also want that game on Thursday with Burrow & Chase returning to have as much juice as possible.  It’s do or die for them either way, but looking at schedules, even more real coming off a win.  
     

    My rooting interests for the rest of the season are basically Bills get in and Baltimore, KC get left out.  If NE beats CIN, I’m probably to the point where I’d root for them to beat Baltimore, because I wouldn’t see them losing to the Giants, Jets or Dolphins.

    Thanks for this. Do you have a url for the Bills Squad site?


    It’s a podcast.  Go to where you can find those on your phone, look up Locked On Bills and then you’ll see all the recent shows.  Bills Squad is an hour long one Joe Marino has twice per week with Jeremy White and Jerry Ostroski.

    Dawkins giving up on blocks

    This isn't to defent the performance of Dawkins but on this play he has no chance of stopping his man when Josh moves up in the pocket.

     

    Dawkins is on his man all the way back but when Josh moves up, Dawkins doesn't know it and that movement gives Dawkins' man inside leverage to Josh. There's nothing Dawkins can do at that point so he stops.

     

    Again, I'm not defending Dawkins' overall performance, just that this play does not illustrate Dawkins giving up on the block.

     

    On an unrelated note, for someone at the game, were many of the sacks coverage sacks?


    They break it down really well on Bills Squad. 
     

    Bills go to passing Offense under Brady is 5 man protection with mesh routes. 
     

    Problem is, you have to wait for mesh routes to clear to see if/who pops open. 
     

    You need time to properly run that concept.  Otherwise Josh is throwing to a spot and bad things are going to happen if the player doesnt open up and get there. 
     

    So Josh has almost immediate pressure and he’s looking at a friggin Picasso of people everywhere and nowhere to go with the ball. 
     

    And we run mesh, because none of the WR’s our genius GM has provided stand a chance consistently beating Stingley or Lassiter. 
     

    No Kincaid, so it became a pop gun offense that couldn’t protect and Brady, in his infinite wisdom, refused to help on Anderson/Hunter to such an extent that Spencer Brown with a shoulder injury was man up on them for like 3 drives.
