He breaks down all the games and tweets observations

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots 12 runs (not counting kneels), 61 Brady drop backs

 

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots heavily featured plus-split 2x2 and 3x2 sets. Minimize #Bills disguise opportunities.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: Huge component of #Patriots system is aligning TE or RB wide outside and WR inside. Opposite of what defenses built to play against.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills on second drive often rushed three, dropped eight. Likely a tactic for #Patriots quick-strike approach.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: Edelman 8-yd TD late in down vs. three-man rush, Brady moved to his right and Edelman adjusted.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: Kline and Chandler excellent playside blocks on Lewis 6-yd TD.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: Lewis 16 yds was vs. first #Bills pressure concept a blitz in front of quarters coverage. Brady recognized immediately.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills #Patriots Film: Duke Williams mistake on Gronkowski 2-yd TD. He was supposed to double Gronk, was unclear on that after presnap shift

 

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: Brady consistently got ball out quickly. Almost no point in even analyzing #Patriots pass pro.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots caught Bills with Jerry Hughes aligned over Gronkowski 1 on 1 in slot. Empty set. Brady threw fly route, Hughes defended it.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: when #Patriots went condensed formation out of 12 personnel they often ran inside.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills showed a dime sub-package with Rambo in and Bradham the only LB.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Lewis 40- yds was from plus-split WR position empty set. Go route right by Bradham, man-to-man.

 

This is ongoing ...

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: LG Mason a few mental hiccups when #Bills threw wrinkles at him. Doesnt have the quick twitch to recover.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills as game progressed played iso-man vs. plus split receivers and zone concepts inside.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots torrid tempo and spread sets eliminated all #Bills presnap disguises. Thats a big element for Rex Ryans D to lose.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: WR screens were a meaningful part of #Patriots attack.

I keep hearing that Brady knew where he would be going pre-snap, that he was picking out who was the mismatch and immediately throwing to that receiver.

I have to think the best way to combat that is to lure him into certain throws.

 

At least if you know where he will throw it, you might be able to take advantage of it.

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: Dobson had a nice game. Was fluid, made adjustments on catches.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: closed and condensed formations a run-indicator for #Patriots in this one.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills more man coverage with a shallow lurk defender as game progressed. Way to counter #Patriots quick-strike passes and crosses.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Kyle Williams with initial quickness made a little bit of noise. Guards Jackson and Mason both had trouble with him at times.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: Kline moved to LG and Jackson came in at RG late in 3rd qtr

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots employed same shift and concept as 2-yd Gronk TD later in game. This time #Bills S Williams recognized it and took it away.

It was brutally clear he knew pre-snap where to throw.

 

Whether he picked out the mismatch, or had someone whispering it in his ear is open to debate...

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: RG Kline did an excellent job getting off double teams to land late run blocks on next most dangerous defender

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills halftime adjustment was more pressure looks, including A-gap looks.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: When Gronkowski was plus-split 1 on 1 vs. Darby, Brady attacked. Darby excellent job defending those vertical routes.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: Edelman 22-yd TD shallow cross away from moving pocket PA (first time #Patriots showed that). No #Bills accounted for him.

Well, if it's that predictable where he will throw it, then the Bills have the benefit of knowing where too. Even if he were to catch on that the Bills were luring him, at least he would have some hesitation taking a mismatch for granted.

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Also on Hughes sack-fumble, Brady brought ball down on a 3-step play when Lawson took away quick slant. Bad by LT+QB.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Hughes sack fumble Solder failed on cut block (second time that happened),

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Solder struggled at times to get his hands on DE Jerry, who played low and fast.

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Bills featured base personnel on opening drive, moved ball effectively on ground and through air, ended in TD.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Hogan 11 yds was misdirection rollout away from read-option fake the kind of stuff to expect more of with Tyrod Taylor.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Karlos Williams 2-yd TD on next snap created by ghost jet sweep action with Harvin. Another tactic BUF likely to do more in '15

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Collins first sack was through A-gap. Chandler Jones aligned there presnap and illegally held C Wood post-snap.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots Film: ILBs Hightower and Collins continued to play attack-oriented, mostly by design.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Taylor tendency to arm the ball a bit. Most glaring example was slight overthrow that resulted in Butler INT.

 

@Andy_Benoit: Film: #Patriots excellent job in man coverage. Execution and schematic wrinkles took away routes, big factor on some of the sacks.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills film: Underrated aspect of McCoys game is pass pro. An aware and assertive blocker.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Taylors instinct is to break down in the pocket as it gets later in down. Not a natural progression reader at this point.

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: Taylor left intermediate throws on field over middle checking down instead of identifying uncovered receivers.....

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Fletcher 39-yd DPI vs. Harvin perimeter go route. Same issue Fletcher had in Philly last year.

Of course this was an oversight by the refs...D'ope! There were more but I understand that not all infractions will be called...still stings!

 

@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: after Taylor scrambled for 23 yds on first snap vs. man-free blitz, #Patriots on second drive rotated to man-free-lurk...

Good stuff!

 

Great post!
