baltimore runs a heavy package with that giant fb, 7 guys over 300# along w lamar, henry, andrews, and a wide out or the other TE. we will need discipline and dorian's savagery at its best to win. he made some nice plays but got burned a bit in the first game, but the more i review the game log, the more i realize the offense made the biggest contributions to our loss. we just gotta score baby!

They also stopped feeding cook the rock. He might break a few vs them next week

The Rams are just so purpose built, they do their lil shannahan stretch zone and bootleg and play action on o, and just dog rush on d. It either all works on either side of the ball or none of it does. And they build the roster the same way. They are kinda the opposite of us. We are built to defend everything a bit and to have a different way to stress everything on o out of many different formations. My gosh they just carved up zones

I think it was a clever lil wiggle at the end of motion, but ya totally moved. Cook for flagged for so much less of a twitch after motion yesterday,

that's exactly what happened to us the first time. we got away from running cook (as good as baltimore is on D and run D, i think a chunk of it is game script) and just sort of had bad simple drop back plays to over matched guys (kinkaid i think has been banged up too, and shakir was a mess that game). TY and jimbo along w our tight ends and all of our dirt quads and mess motion formations will take baltimore out of what they want to do (bear front with disguised pressure). reviewing the prior game, i really think if we can score some TDs early we can distance ourselves from baltimore. then run like a machine, but they will have false starts and holding putting them behind the sticks. we can't have cam lewis and our 4th and 5th lbs giving up 15 yards on 3rd and 14

So i reviewed the play by play of that game just now. our O was more predictable and bottled up/small ball than it's been since the houston game. both teams got smashed with penalties, but the bills just weren't able to overcome them, and on 3rd and long josh got sacked a few times. cook was actually really effective in running the ball, but back then we played musical backs and had too many fruitless runs into traffic and we got taken out of the run early. I actually think even with that lesser version of the team if cook gets 15-20 touches we score at least 10 more points. on the other side, the opening play was awful, 87 yard tub by henry. the second drive we allowed 3rd and 11+ to get converted twice. we had several stops and in the second half were better on both sides of the ball. a missed FG really sunk the team not to mention that insane trick play. baltimore kicked our butts and was much better that game, but the reality is that the bills real failing was on O. not running cook, awful trick play, and a few just horrible situations where it was a doomed drop back situation did us in.

to win vs baltimore, we need either playoff lamar to show up and make mistakes, and/or we need our oline to just physically dominate like they did vs denver. i don't expect our DL will win the day, so we will at least need the OL too.

well, if he shows an ability to score 16 more tds next season, including say 5 or 6 long ones (like he did this year) then even the people on the fence here will have to agree that he's worth the money. you just can't let that kind of production go. diggs was traded, with a massive negative cap and hard dollar cost (worse extension than the von miller contract, that's crazy). headlines were his attitude, but the reality is his production fell off hard hard. cooks by all accounts is a locker room plus. if he continues to ball out and we win more playoff games, i think it's a done deal

Moar like unlikely!! Honestly, I have no idea on his status, I just wanted the pun

I think he was healthy this game. His speed and twitch (on paper) are elite. He showed it in that TD play.

they took milano out few times on 3rd and long when in dime. I think that's smart because it gives him some rest. i will say the front 6 (8 if you include when the bring d backs on a blitz) is way more aggressive. I don't think we need to blitz a lot (i think we generally suck at blitzes that don't involve a clever stunt or like a slot corner just coming in unaccounted for in a scheme mismatch) but i do think we need everyone but our corners to be firing up the field. when we have to flip hips and run around (outside of corners and early coverage by lbs) we just get washed. and when we have guys standing and reading they get bumped off at the top of routes. a little pass rush goes a long way to helping all of this of course, but the biggest key to me is instead of living in fear of a deep pass all the time, we need to challenge and put our guys where they have a chance to make plays. we did that vs kc, sf (kinda), detroit, and the jets late in the year. we totally did that vs denver. they had a couple of unlucky drops, but we had a couple picks bounce off of hands. we will have to confuse lamar and execute passes to the outside to beat baltimore next week.

shakir and TY are honestly sick returners, bass was really solid. hit all his kicks and did a good job on kick offs. the coverage team was solid, but that was mainly bass kicking it to timbuck3 each kick off. honestly, special teams is like 80% your kicker. if he can nail long kicks and put the ball in the end zone on kick offs, you are basically playing advantage football. returners help too, but that depends on the d making stops, which they did.

hurts is really slow to process and trigger, and i think after his bonk on the head he's a bit worse there. he might sort of wake up in the next couple weeks, but the iggles passing O is really like high school stuff. they play way below their talent there imo.

i think 10 a year should work for both sides. we have a poor wr group, they just don't get open very well, have to really be schemed and planned for. ol is sick, rb group is near the best, im most disappointed in our TE production tbh. i thought kinkaid could threaten 1k yards. he was hurt but has hit a sophomore slump. last thing i want is to lose our best and most consistent offensive playmaker not named josh allen.

jordan love just really looks trash. he just makes some terrible throws.

our whole run d depends on the backers just firing up into the correct gap.

philly has just the most simple O ever. sick sick oline, qb can run and gun, couple wrs, best rb in the nfl, but anything outside of rock paper scissors on 1st down or very short to go and they are slow and underwhelming. still think they might win the nfc due to health in detroit and the rest of the teams being incomplete, but i think they are like at best the 5th team in the nfl.

i think you might be number 2 behind mike 2 times, but ya.

im a certified mcclappy hater, but i even said i have a goofy gut feeling that they will turn it up and be multiple in the playoffs. they took great care of denver today, no turnovers but still dominated. the real test is to come, it's gonna take all of that and some picks instead of almost picks to put them away.

Josh Allen was a bit off to start and we need trubisky to close the game out. Sheesh, 17 had better get it together!

Lol zebras let a terrible hold go there

Looking great, but it's crazy that we have left 11 points on the field w goofy penalties, missed calls, and bad play calls in the red zone.

Loool, romo saying great call after that was Pravda ish

These refs are gonna call the bills for untied shoelaces the way this is going

That's a foul
