do you have any notion how the first group (MFA) defines "top defense"?

 

Also, how does PFF define "pressured"?

Mike Tomlin on this weekly "speak out" thing he does for about 7 straight minutes.

 

 

After some blunt talk about their performance vs WFT ("if you can't get a yard, you don't deserve to win"), he launches into his impression of Buffalo.

He has lots of good stuff to say about Josh Allen as a passer, extending plays and scrambling, and designed runs.  Speaks well of Diggs and "Beasley inside".  No mention of Davis, McKenzie, or Knox so maybe they're a bit "under the radar" to him.  Says it all starts with stopping the quarterback - I doubt anyone in the league would disagree, but it's getting to the point where stopping Allen is a little bit like the mice voting to put a bell on the cat - then asking "Who will Bell the Cat?"

 

Says our defense is balanced.  Mentions Addison and Q Jefferson as good additions.  Mentions Edmunds.  Mentions Tre White and his 2 picks against them last year, Josh Norman and Levi Wallace and "good depth" at CB.  No mention of Dr Poyer or Mr Hyde (although Poyer also picked him) or our other LB.

 

I didn't listen to all the questions, so Have At It if curious there.

 

Big Ben 27 TD to 7 INT, 3 fumbles (0 lost).  258 ypg passing on the season, but....1 pick per game in the last 3 games.  Good completion percentage, good yardage though.

We're really fortunate this game isn't at 1pm. Weather is going to be real nasty early tomorrow but should be good for game time. So no excuses. 

 

It's not an advantage for either team if the weather is bad. 🤦‍♂️ They gotta deal with that stuff too

Uh it's definitely a disadvantage for the better passing game and better team. 

 

Bills are one of the top teams at passes over 20 yards. Steelers dink and dunk. 

 

Shouldn't be hard to understand?

 

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I'm not sure how PFF defines "pressured", but the chart pictured was made using the 16 highest rated teams in defensive EPA per play, as provided by rbsdm.com.

That article from Jason Wolf is just about the lamest thing I could have imagined.  Actually, it's lamer than I could imagine.

 

His thesis is that the Bills have been "deprived" of a chance for "euphoria" by beating the undefeated Steelers:

"But the Football Team’s unlikely triumph did more than tighten the race for the top seed in the AFC playoffs and hand the Steelers their first loss of the season.  It robbed Buffalo of its chance to do the same." and that "The Bills are still fighting for that respect. Win or lose against the Steelers, that’ll still be the case."

 

:rolleyes:

 

So somehow the Bills get less respect if they win this week, because they beat a 4-7 football team that has an excellent defense and was favored, while a 4-7 football team fighting for 1st place in their division and QB'd by a wiley vet, beat the Steelers. 

 

If the Bills beat the Steelers and move to 10-3, I will be OVERJOYED.  I don't care if they win by 1 point.  I don't care if they win by a defensive TD or a ST TD.  I don't care if we try to put a laser light show on them or if we try to run down their throats.  Just Win.  Just Win, Baby.  Whatever Daboll's game plan lays down, just execute.  Just play solid defense, hit hard, be physical, don't give up big plays. 

 

If the national media can't respect us for that, ***** the national media.  I don't think the Bills are "fighting for respect" I think they're fighting for wins.

 

Sometimes I swear, you can't make this ***** up.

The fact that we are getting REALLY healthy at the perfect time makes me even more hype about this team. It's getting to the point where guys can get rested here and their to keep them fresh throughout the full 60. 

Yup.  Plus, we should by getting Smoke back juuuuuust in time for the playoffs.  :)

Yes it does. It favors the lesser than because it brings the good team down to their level.

yep.  The snowmageddon game against the Colts was a good example of this.

I’m not saying it’s what I would do and I’m not saying it’s going to work..but I have a feeling the Bills are going to play this game like they played the Pats game. I can just see McDermott feeling that the teeth of the Steelers D is their secondary. I feel like Singletary is going to get a lot of carries. I’d be surprised if Josh gets more then 20-25 pass attempts.

Bills offense is a lot better than last year. Pitt defense is a lot worse, down Haden, Dupree, and the LBs. We saw their bliz last year and did ok...not perfect, but enough to win. I love Daboll to have this offense in good shape. 

 

 

God that game was such a comedy of errors for the offense. Had a Beasley tip go for a pick. Motor fumbled twice I think (lost one) which caused us to give Gore the most burn. I still nearly throw up thinking about Gore trying to bounce an inside run in the red zone.  I also think we had a ton of drive killing penalties and drops.

Daboll was calling games for Allen way different last year as well. Settling for 3’s or field position battles really aren’t their thing this year.

Tough sledding up front with Hayward and tuitt though. 
 

im really interested to see the plan this week.
