Antonio Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 My big 3 factors that alter the game´s outcome: 1. The weather: It played big time against the Bills yesterday. The eagles were struggling all year long in their secondary, specially outside, but with strong wind they were able to play the run better as they were not afraid to get beat by long passes. It was like having an extra defender out there. We all saw what happened with the long ball, the wind stopped that pass just before anyone (defenders included) could make a play for the ball. I actually thought it was a well thrown ball, you could see in Fosters eyes that he was sprinting to get there, and then somehow it was short. 2. Size does matter: I think opposite OC are noticing that we are a little small up the middle, so they are running thru expecting to move our DTs and LBs out of their gaps. And the last two games we were not able to stop them. In out DTs we have speed and I think they are very good creating pressure so QB´s have a hard time stepping up the pocket, but they are not very good in the running game. I think that is teams are patient enough, they will eventually run over our D. 3. Game plan: I put this L in the coaches. I did not like the game plan at all. They thought, and I did too, that with all those backups in the middle of the eagles’ defense we were going to be able to stablish a strong running game. But we were far too predictable. And then we totally abandoned the game plan. I feel like our game plan should´ve been exactly what the eagles did. Lots of screens, misdirection, jet sweeps and then take advantage of the match ups outside. 3
Jauronimo Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 With Star, Jordan Phillips, and Oliver in the middle I don't think we are small. Maybe a bit small at LB but we have issues if Star and Jordan are getting pushed out of the way. 1
row_33 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 1. Bills fans whining about the "poor Bills" in mean weather cuts no mustard. 2. They have always grown them bigger on the NFC D and their O-lines for my 50 years of watching. The AFC has been more of a finesse conference. 3. Fair enough.

I feel like they are more of a penetrating type of DTs, not space eaters. And McD wants to play gap control defense. Yesterday we lost because we were not able to control the gaps. 1

Every Bill lost to their blocker. This play represents the whole game pretty well.

Yeah I say Milano get blown up live and thought wow that OG just took out Milano, but then realized it was howard that got Milano Sitting flat footed and not attacking the Blockr instead decided to catch the blocker. 1
MikeSpeed Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 To point #2... Miami exposed us, the eagles disposed us. Scared to think what the Ravens are going to do to us. ? 1
H2o Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I have one big factor, Brian Daboll. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/17/brian-daboll-to-coordinate-dolphins-offense/ Quote Daboll was well regarded from his time in New England and then under Eric Mangini with the Jets and Browns. Still, his Cleveland teams were among the league’s worst in yards and points in both of his seasons there. Do we not see the pattern here?

row_33 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 the Jets and Bengals exposed as well, but couldn't man up to finishing off a won game 1

They didn´t, they ran the ball and must of their passing yards were screens. My point was that with the weather conditions we were not able to exploit the eagles defense weaknesses (DBs).

I assumed the same the way Milano got jacked up. Always considered Howard to be a stud in Chi. Not surprised, but not good that not one Bills defender needed to be DTd. I guess they also knew which gap Michah would take basically removing himself from the play. Might have been worst worst defensive play of the season
