Billsatlastin2018 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) In order to win, in priority: 1) Cover Hopkins close and contain Watson. 2) Dumboll unleashes Allen to have options on virtually every play. NO more Vanilla- it’s the f******** Playoffs! 3) And have 6-3 Dooooook in the lineup at TE. 4) Singletary gets 15 touches, some running, some as Thurman Thomas resurrected. Houston has some talent, Hopkins foremost, but I have lots of confidence. 19 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Yep... And I think the argument can be made that of all those playoff teams you have to go down the list to the Ravens to find a team that is the better all around team. On the AFC side? No. KC is also better. On the NFC side? San Fran & N.O. have much more talent. GB has slightly more talent. Minny is about Even. Fortunately, the Bills only play one of them, at the END! ?

Based on the cap availability list next year, where the bills are ranked #4 in the league (with the most space of any playoff team) the next playoff team with as well put together of a roster is, I believe, the Ravens, who are ranked #17. I would say our roster overall is better than the Texans, Seahawks, and Titans. Several of the other playoff teams have well rounded rosters, few have anywhere near the cap space that we have. 58 minutes ago, whatdrought said: An interesting side tidbit that is super impressive...

I'm there with you for sure. Definitely optimistic though... They've built a contending team before even getting to the depth of the rebuild. I like it!

Yikes. Yes - that is funny. The time for experimentation with players trying positions that they have never played in the NFL before is called the "Off-Season". If the possibility of success with the experiment looks promising, then the experiment can extend into the "Pre-Season". If it then looks viable it can be implemented in the "Regular Season". The idea of skipping all the appropriate steps & implementing such a course of action in the "Playoffs" is charitably described as "funny" (crazy might be a better word). . 1

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 4. John Clayton calls Bills-Texans the best matchup of Wild Card weekend John Clayton broke down eight big questions for the first round of the NFL playoffs for The Washington Post. Within it he predicts the Bills and Texans to have the best matchup. That’s easily the Saturday afternoon game between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans. The Texans are an unpredictable team. They can play great at times, but then they’ll get blown out by 34 points against the Baltimore Ravens or lose by 14 to the Denver Broncos. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/what-they-re-saying-nfl-analysts-are-optimistic-about-the-bills-chances-in-the-p
whatdrought Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Pulled this off a Texans Message Board: Quote doing some light skim work yesterday and I noticed an uncomfortable trend with Buffalo and Josh Allen in particular. Allen has played a defense rated no less than 12 over the last 6 weeks and played well. There is some jostling in terms of pure passing defense, but when I look at the last game where he faced a "bad" defense (MIA week 11) he absolutely lit them up (4 total TDs). I wonder if RAC is going to be able to pull another rabbit out of his hat. Buffalo has a suspect offensive line in terms of pass protection. Run block grades are more favorable. Geez everything I look at in terms of matchup and strength vs weakness regressions it looks like more and more that Buffalo should win this game.Their offense is not a juggernaut by any means, add in a young QB in his first playoff game and the experience factor may come into play - BUT this is set up for the classic "game manager" situation. Buffalo has a top NFL defense. It is legit. You will have a hard time passing against them. Ed Oliver is going to feast inside especially coming home keep an eye on him. I'm not sure what Obrien has cooked up, but Im going to guess it will be a heavy dose of Carlos Hyde. It would make the most sense since that might be this teams "weakness" ranked outside the top 10 in run defense. In terms of SACKS Buffalo doesnt get home as much as some of the other top defensive units, so they rely on lockdown DBs and succeed for the most part. It will be interesting to see the T2T leader in Watson matched up with a less than stellar pass rush, OBrien wont be able to rely on "hero ball" with his receivers. He MUST scheme some wrinkles into the game plan.I'm surprised HOU is a 3.5 point favorite honestly. If I still threw money at the wall to see what would stick, I'd be all over the UNDER in this game.This is probably the most magnified coaching performance Bill O'Brien will have ever been in. Many Texan fans still have the INDY game fresh in their minds. I'm sure everyone learned from that right? Will O'Brien be out coached again? His playoff scoring offense is 12 points per game!!!If the Houston Texan offense comes out slow, lethargic (the usual) this will be over by halftime. You cant expect the defense to hold. Beasley and Brown will have a big games. You have to keep up with them.I dont even know how to take a guess on final score. Which Houston team will show up? So many question marks. https://www.texanstalk.com/threads/wildcard-round-bills-at-texans.114838/ This feels like a really favorable match-up for us, but my BBFS is raging... 2 2
