Theory on why Allen struggles against KC
Fan in Chicago replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, we need to add to the offense, in particular the run game. We will always be a pass first offense but adding the run element will avoid situations like last weekend. But dont ignore the defense, which needs quite a lot of attention. The O was masking the flaws but thats not a championship-quality D. I can immediately think of needs such as 1x DL, 1x LB, 2xDBs, 1x EDGE which have to be added over the offseason to truly contend for the Lombardi. In a way, I am "happy" that we lost last weekend rather than put up this crappy show in the Superbowl against a Brady-led offense. I would have been monumentally more depressed if we had lost the SB, in this fashion, against Brady -
Theory on why Allen struggles against KC
Fan in Chicago replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Also, JA was not given much time to either (1) survey the field and wait for the WR to start breaking open (2) Decide to roll out and throw on the run or (3) run it himself. It is unlikely that our WRs, who have done a good job of separation most of the season, suddenly found themselves befuddled by the Chiefs press coverage. To compound issues, the lack of a balanced attack provided few options to JA -
He rarely had time to make decisions. the OL was not doing well Chiefs were getting away with a lot of physical play - if they realized JA is going to try running, they would have keyed on hurting him There is only so much running a QB should do and it should be his 3rd or 4th option (unless its a designed run). Cant blame JA or coaches for this. OL was getting manhandled on several plays and we didnt have a RB-led running game to counter

Working on the honey-do list so I get a peaceful football Sunday -
Thats excellent. Earlier this season I doubted his schemes but have been proven wrong. This past weekend's Defense was schemed to perfection. Jackson was basically operating in a 2x2 box which is clearly not his strength. The commitment to stopping the run and Jackson's scrambles, the composure of the players and the adherence to the plan won us that game. Kudos to Frazier.

The issue most analysts have is that they cannot put the Bills in any kind of box. This team really finds different ways to win. The D morphs into whatever it needs to, in order to take away the other teams strength (easy to say, difficult to do) and the O also doesnt have an ego and does what is needed. Having said that, its Allen and Diggs that really keep the other team honest. I have said it and will say it again - the Bills are winning like Belichick and Brady used to win: play disciplined football, minimize mistakes on O, dont lose your composure or cool in the most tense times (Colts and Ravens games), let the other team make key in-game mistakes and play the tough teams close. When Taron Johnson intercepted Jackson, the thought that came to mind (after I had screamed non stop for 5 minutes) is - hey that reminds me of Butler's interception of Wilson in Superbowl 49. Much as I think the Bills will lose to the Chiefs, I wont be surprised if the game is really close or if the Bills sneakily pull it off at the very end.

Visiting my daughter to help her with wedding planning. Returning 2 hours before the game. But that's tomorrow. I have no idea what to do for the rest of today -
‘Did You Know’ thread about the Bills
Fan in Chicago replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I did not know that he played for the Jests. But he was one of the worst picks during the drought. Close to McGahee in terms of FO stupidity -
Key to beating the Ravens- beating the blitz
Fan in Chicago replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Spy implies that he needs to keep up with Jackson if the latter breaks contain. Thats a daunting proposition and if the spy misses, it will set up LJ for a big gain due to the disproportionate number of hats. Instead, limiting LJ will be about gap control and containment. -
