John Brown need you to step up going forward

[ILBillsfan]

Going to say I was most disappointed in Brown on Saturday and was really expecting him to be a bigger factor in the Game Saturday.

 

Couple of plays that really could of had different outcomes the first was the play where he was open and the ball went right through his hands and up in the air that a lot of times end up as pick.  And the second was very similar to the fourth down play last year in Baltimore where he needs to attack back inside.  On the almost pick imo he did not again attack the ball towards the middle that let the CB get the inside position and the potential pick.

 

Davis seemed to be the second option.  Maybe it is still a little rust but I think to beat Baltimore you have to again get out ahead of them and neutralize the run game of Baltimore and make Jackson beat you with his arm and to optimize that need all receivers to really bring that A game and not see a repeat of what I seen from John Brown this last weekend.

Ill shoot him a text and let him know!

He played a good game against Miami and looked healthy in it. I think he just had a bad day on Saturday for whatever reason. I expect a bounce back performance.

[Magox]

Davis was not the second option, he was the extend the play option when the pocket broke down.

[Patrick Duffy]

I think he is aware. Was a little surprising to see him drop a pass that hit him directly in the hands, or went through his hands. He is usually very reliable. Maybe it was due to him being out idk

Diggs and Brown both had uncharacteristic drops on perfect throws from Allen that hit them in the hands early in the game

I will agree.  Could be wrong but not sure I seen a pass in the second half to Brown and maybe i'm wrong.  They have a good relationship and could of been just the other guys were hotter and you just keep feeding them.  Just know what Brown does when he is involved as well. 

 

Josh completed passes toe 6 different players and when you get to the 7-8 players it really puts the D on its toes more and Brown is a big part of that equation.

Brown is probably just rusty and will be better this game.  If Beasely and McKenzie are healthy we have more options than Baltimore can handle.

 

Just think back to the Chiefs/Baltimore game.  The chiefs came out swinging and destroyed them.  We mimick that team now more than any other team.  Come out guns a blazin and we’ll be fine.  Enough if the afraid of the Ravens stuff.  Respect, not afraid.

Oh I'm not afraid of Baltimore I respect them.  If the Bills play their game I expect us to win.  Will continue to take a team effort at this stage of the season

Brown will be huge against Ravens man coverage. His deep speed will force the DB to turn and run and those 15-20 yard comebacks on the sideline will be open all game long.  Would REALLY like to see Stills in this game...his speed to threaten the defense deep could really cause issues for the Ravens on blitzes

Which was surprising.  Usually it’s diggs, Beasley, brown or even Knox ahead of Davis on the scramble drills. Couldn’t have been happier though.  The kid is showing out

Stills is interesting.  I know I've heard that a lot of the offense should  be familiar to him on the route options so the learning curve would be less.

"John Brown need you to step up going forward"

 

                                      🙄

 

.....or else?

[Thurman#1]

That defense was playing very well, and they were absolutely fixated on stopping the long ball.

 

The first ball was a drop, and it was his fault. The second was just good defense and the Colts playing deep.

 

IMO he's going to be in a much more favorable situation the next couple of weeks. I'm not worried.

I agree, if the WR group is as banged up as they looked last week, put Stills out there even if it’s just to run deep and drag defenders away.  You will have to take a shot to him to make them respect it, but I definitely want to see him out there.  With him running deep, Diggs and Brown will have more mid range freedom and hopefully that allows them to move the ball better.  At bare minimum, McKenzie needs to get back out there or if he can’t, use Stills in his role, speed kills.

I still think he is nursing a longterm injury. After plays, he seems to hobble around going back to the huddle and sideline. Maybe not enough to keep him out of the game, but it wouldnt surprise me if he ends up having surgery in the offseason for a random leg issue.

I'd bet meniscus tear. It hurts but he can still do everything and won't really make it worse, will still need to get repaired in the offseason tho.

Rust and Starting Field Position contributed to the quiet day. Ravens secondary will be a good matchup for him. There is a reason Marlon Humphrey is the 2nd most targeted CB in the NFL.

[freddyjj]

Wonder if JB will have any extra motivation vs Ravens as they signed him in 2018 then underutilized him?

[Solomon Grundy]

Maybe the 6700 Bills fans going to the game can start up a “Smoke” chant to pump him up prior to kickoff? He’s going to be a crucial cog in the Bills winning this game.
