LABILLBACKER Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Take a page out of what NE did last Feb. I'd mix in some hurry up no huddle. Spread the field and get the ball to Shady. The Falcon defense does not perform well in panic / rushed situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Sal Capaccio was on the WGR morning show and said the most sacks Ryan has taken by a wide margin was to the Panthers. 47 of 196 sacks came when McDermott served as Panthers DC.

Fadingpain Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This is the NFL; past performances have little to do with this Sunday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising. It will almost always be a division rival, what with having two games a year to run up stats, and the Bucs have been bad for a while, and while the Saints have been decent on and off, they're an offensive team not a defensive one.

Thurman#1 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yes. His numbers still weren't all the bad, and he went somewhere around .500 against McD during those years. I'm excepting this to be the first game where our defense give up some big numbers. I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm not excepting much from this game. The Falcons offense is incredibly good. In the NFL there is a chance of winning every game, but I see this one as the least winnable on our schedule. The Falcons went 2-4 against the Panthers during those three years. And while Ryan wasn't awful those three years, he wasn't as good as he had been or as he is now. Throw out his first two years as he got used to the league and two of his three worst years (out of eight years, those were his 7th, 4th and 8th best years out of eight, going by passer rating). Except for those three years he's never been below 99 in passer rating in the last six years, and those years he went 89.6, 93.9 and 89.0. He really had down years. I agree with you that I expect the Birds to put up big numbers against our defense. I don't see us winning this one, though they certainly have an outside chance.

Marty McFly Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The bills offense is gonna have to pull out all stops to win this win. Ryan could start disecting this zone defense and well get to see how Dennison responds in a shootout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying if we throw out 4 years out of 9, and ignore 3 more, his stats look pretty good? He's had a passer rating of 99+ in 22% of his complete NFL seasons, and 3 games into this year he is on pace for his 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Although he took them to the SB, I think Ryan is very underrated. His one flaw is to take unnecessary chances. Reminds me of a poor man's Jim Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 need to play the falcons like the bears did. allowed only two falcons tds but a bunch of fg's. thats what we need to do. they will get their yards but we gotta just hold them in the red zone and cause turnovers and be more aggressive on those turnovers. THIS. The Falcons will move the ball up and down the field basically at will through the air, and we can survive that. Stout in the red zone, hold to FGs and stay in the game.

Kmart128 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Seems to be all over the place. Wonder what Ryan has done against Leslie Frazier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
