Captain_Quint Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 We rested Hughes and Addison last week, too. They did well setting the edge but didnt get any hits on Rivers.

They have a really good oline and get rid of the ball quick. We wont face another team like that this season. Exactly, plus it seems as though create pressure up the middle generally and the QB often slides off his mark and is hurried, they are excellent up the middle and did a good job of keeping Rivers clean all day 1
CSBill Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I nominate this thread title for "Title of the Season." I laughed out loud when I read the "Five Mississippi" count. So true that this is what it felt like. I can just picture it in the back yard. 1

Rochesterfan Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 14 hours ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: Go home @jkx2 you’re drunk. this was designed. Rivers doesn’t get sacked. The bills brought 4 and dropped into coverage vs the best OL in the league against a HOF QB who gets the ball out quick. this is not the game to check the DL for the stat column. I agree - the way the Bills D-Line played was specifically done to limit the running game. The Bills rushed trying to contain the gaps to prevent runs and also rushed with an eye to screens - rather than trying to get a ton of pressure on Rivers. It was pretty obvious to most people exactly what the game plan was and it worked through the first 3 quarters. Don’t let them run and force Rivers to beat you all the way down the field. It lead to 10 Indy points and a 14 point deficit through 3 quarters in a game Rivers was nearly perfect.

It amazes me how little “fans” know about football when their agenda is to criticize. 2
Matt_In_NH Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 The Colts OL is elite. We could not breathe on Rivers most of the game. 1
billsbackto81 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 It's been reported that after the game the trainer for the Colts took Rivers jersey and pants and just hung them up. No reason to wash them as there wasn't a speck of dirt to be seen on them. At least that's the word on the street. 😆
T master Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 What pass rush ? The D definitely needs something Oliver was really a none factor for being all they said he was and that he would be better in the NFL because he was playing out of position in college . Given his size and what the "Experts say" is a great first step i would like to see them try Oliver as a D end on a couple of snaps just to mix it up and keep the other team guessing i think he could raise some hell from the edge he just doesn't seem to have enough size to be really effective where he is especially given the hype . Look at Peters he was a TE at first now he's one of the best at the position because of the change. Logan Thomas is doing good with the change I think it's at least worth a try . You don't know he could be a HOF DE his size i think is better fit for that than where he is . Kyle was 6' 1" 302 lbs - DL Jerry is 6' 2" 256 lbs - DE Oliver is 6' 1" 287 lbs DL Bruce is 6' 4" 265 DE I think Oliver could be a really really good DE he's a lot closer to Bruce size than he is Kyle or most other D lineman body type and he has a great get off why not ?

scribo Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Among the best olines in all of football. One of the least sacked teams in the league. A QB with a quick release. Pressuring Rivers isn't something many get to do.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Get Klein down around the line of scrimmage and have him blitz more. I really liked that look on our Defense.
