1/2/22 Falcons at Bills

[eball]

I’ll go ahead and start this thread.  The Falcons ARE NOT GOOD.  They’re not even average.  Don’t be fooled by the 7-8 record.  Their wins:  Jets, Giants, Jags, Lions, Saints, Dolphins (early in the year), and Panthers (with whom they split).  They have a -122 point differential.

 

What should we worry about?  Patterson as a RB has been good.  Otherwise?  Meh.

 

Buckle down and take care of business, Buffalo.

After some of our losses I will take no team for granted. There have been so many stunning upsets this year around the league.

 

Plus, COVID. That may be our toughest opponent.

Thanks for this. I thought they were a lot better than this based only on their record and Patterson being on my fantasy team.

All I see from that list above is that they managed to beat one of the teams that beat the Bills. Like you said - take no team lightly, no matter the circumstance! I am confident that the Bills will be able to handle their business, but I still won't breathe easy until the clock hits 0:00 and the Bills are on top.

The word for this week is LETDOWN. The Bills need to avoid it.

[GunnerBill]

The Bills match up very well to the Falcons. They don't rush the passer very well, they like to play a lot of man on the outside and on offense their run game is smoke and mirrors rather than straight up power. 

 

The thing they still do better than average is throw the ball but they are not some dominant passing offense and the Bills D is hard to make a living throwing against. 

 

I am not worried about this game even with the up and down nature of this Bills team. 

[Steptide]

I agree the falcons arnt good. Matt Ryan is still decent and can throw a very accurate pass. He has zero mobility though. I think if the bills defense gets any kind of pressure, their offense will collapse pretty quick

Jacksonville is a lesser team then Atlanta so we shouldnt just worry about Patterson.. That is what gets teams in trouble.

cmon Artie… you know you want to start Right Josh!!!

The jags are the worst team in the league by a mile. They beat us.  
 

it will continue to be all on the OL.  We go as they go.  Anyone can beat us if the OL plays like it did vs jax.  That said, I don’t think we’ll see them play that bad again this season.

 

It would’ve been nice if the falcons lost yesterday, but they’re in the hunt for that final spot.  We better come to play.  If we do, we’ll blow Them out. If our HC/OCDC put together bad game plans, watch out.  Everyone needs to do their job on a weekly basis

Agreed.  This might be our last opportunity to determine whether we drafted the right one. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

I'm not taking anything for granted.  This team beat themselves against the Jags and didn't show up against the Colts.  They needs to beat the ***** out of Atlanta

Yeah, without Jones, they are that bad.  Not that Jones is great, or even good, but the alternatives are statues and can’t really play QB behind that OL.  With Jones, I’d give the edge to the jags being the worst.

The Giants offense is flat out putrid. I think they have become the worst team the league. The Jags are horrible but the Giants are giving them a run for the money as far as worst team goes. What's worse for Giants fans is they already announced per WFAN that Judge and Jones are returning for next season.

Trap game works as well. Coming off a big win over the hated Pats. Letdown or trap game is real. For the record I do think the Bills will win but they (players) need to avoid being overconfident. McDermott always preaches "stay humble" so hopefully they do that and have a good week of practice and then treat the Falcons like they were the Pats.
