LABILLBACKER Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 We don't blitz anyway so it doesn't matter... 1
Boatdrinks Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Bills aren’t a big blitzing team. Probably won’t be huge factor in the game plan.

Big Turk Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Same as last year where we held him to 14 of 26 for 129 yards and 1 INT. Edited October 2, 2019 by matter2003
MrEpsYtown Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Play coverage and keep him in the pocket. Get pressure up the middle with Oliver. I think he controls the game up the middle and the guards will be overmatched. 1

947 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think Taylor Lewan may be back this week, that will certainly complicate getting pressure.
colin Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I fully expect out D to dominate them. We need our O to play with confidence, Motor being back will be a huge lift. Constantly having tight ends and fresh backs in the game and mixing up run/pass should sustain a few drives and let us get to 24 points (i also expect a couple short fields from actually winning the turnover battle for once!). We seem to be good w the scripted drives, so getting off to a 10 or so point lead taking their biggest weapon (running) off the table early should make for a W. 1

Can’t compare last years offense because it was devoid of talent. The defense had a strong game vs TEN and is probably what was being referenced in the post.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) stop the run, defend the pass. Maybe I just don't pay too close attention .... Thus far how often has Buffalo blitzed their opponents? 25%, more, much more, less? EDIT - From Benoit’s perspective, the Bills are successful when they blitz. “They don’t blitz a lot in Buffalo, they didn’t blitz a lot in Carolina when McDermott was running that defense,” Benoit explained. “When they do blitz it is highly efficient and highly effective. Just watching the film when they blitz, far more often than not, they get some kind of benefit out of that.” https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-today-buffalo-is-ready-to-bounce-back-in-nashville Edited October 2, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost 1

We will need to prepare well for their scripted drive. We can´t afford a Gigants-like start of the game for our D.
GunnerBill Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Yep. Mariota is a guy you don't blitz. You flood zones and make him make effective decisions. That is his weakness. 1
BillsfanAZ Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I like the Bills D going against Mariota. The Bills can get pressure just by rushing 4 and the Bills LB's are fast enough that Mariota wont run away from them.
JoPar_v2 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Considering the Bills hardly ever blitz, not sure why that Mariota tidbit is even mentioned by the OP, but I’d say they do what they normally do and dominate. Mariota is trash anyways. Not even scared bros. 2

But we seem to disguice who is coming and who is dropping very well and either Edmunds and Milano are very good in coverage so it is easy to know witch one plays the mike on any given play. Sometimes they send Edmunds and Milano manages the middle pretty well.

Mariota is trash anyways. Not even scared bros. For starters, I do not know how often the Bills Blitz. I just think it was an interesting fact that was put out there about our next opponent. Some of the best plays the Bills have had against run or pass had been Blitzes, maybe because they don´t expected, but you have to check Poyer coming down the line and making plays behind the line, or Minano coming free against Brady (no call for grounding) but was a nice 3rd down stop by our D when blitzing Brady (one of the best agaisnt the blitz). Having said that, I rather discuss this than keep crying about last week lost or officiating or so on... not saying you are, but just discuss something different for a change.

Ocational but successful blitzing to creat plays, maybe turnovers. I like that.
