Big Turk Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 3 minutes ago, RunJoshRun said: Ryan is a 14 year veteran, 4 time all-pro and led his team to a Super Bowl appearance. He's a solid NFL QB and good individual! He's thrown for 59,000 yards and has a 66% completition rate in his career. I'm worried about him picking the Bills defense apart. The Falcons are in the play-off race and this isn't a throw-away game. Any Comments! Uhh... Have you watched him this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Our pass defense is our strength and their defense is 2nd last against the pass. They are the exact team we play best against. It should be a lopsided victory for us. Edited December 28, 2021 by White Linen 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcons are in the play-off race and this isn't a throw-away game. Any Comments! Have you considered an anti-anxiety drug prescription? We aren't playing against Matt Ryan's career. We're playing against the team the Falcons can field this year. They've got the 25th offense on points and the 24th offense on yards. 15th for passing yards, but 24th for interceptions thrown. 30th for rush yards. If the Bills spend this week eating potato chips and reading their press clipping and walk on the field with a lackadaisical attitude, sure, we could be in trouble. If they treat Atlanta as a pack of cornered Dogs that might be dangerous, prepare seriously, and go out there and play like each play needs to be their best, they'll be fine. Just now, RunJoshRun said: Oh yes- - - 68% completition percentage, 3555 yards passing and 19 TD passes with an overall weak team. Don't forget the 14 interceptions or the fact that with so many passing attempts, it's 6.1 ypa. Yes, Matt Ryan is a very good QB. No, a very good QB can't do it all himself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAllin Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I was afraid of Patterson against the D but his numbers seemed to die off the past few games. I think the Ryan/Patterson duo is the better tandem than the bills have faced in awhile I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Ryan and Smith don’t like each other. Smith is just waiting till he can get rid of Ryan. I’ve always liked Matt Ryan but he isn’t anywhere near what he was 3 years ago. Not to mention he doesn’t have the line or weapons like he had for the SB run. They are slightly better than Carolina on offense but way worse on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they want everyone "in-line" - like getting the Virus shots. Advanced metrics say they are the worst team in the NFL in spite of their record. This is the type of team the Bills usually beat by 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Matt Ryan seemed to be at his best when Julio was in his prime. Anything can happen, of course, but he doesn't really worry me as much as he would have maybe a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re bottom 5 in the NFL in like everything. All of their wins are 1 score wins. 7-2 in 1 score games. They’re the anti-Bills in that regard. Statistically teams are .500 in 1 score games. If you outperform that in a given season, you’re generally playing above your capabilities and due for regression backs towards .500 in 1 score games in the following season. They’ll likely play closer to the 4-5 win team they should be on paper. I’m not saying it’s going to be a gimme… but their record isn’t an indication of their true performance.

Thurman#1 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Ryan's had a terrific career and he's still a fine player. His team's bad. If the Bills play well, they'll win. That's what to be afraid of, the Bills not playing their best. 7 minutes ago, JGMcD2 said: Luck. They’re bottom 5 in the NFL in like everything.

A one-score game isn't the same as a game that will be decided by luck. Good teams will genuinely win more of their one-score games, and bad ones will lose more. There's more luck involved than there is in large variance wins, but it's not luck that the Falcons won a lot of them any more than it is that the Bills lost a lot of them this year. Both were a result of performance, with a bit of luck thrown in. But here's who they beat for those seven wins: NYG NYJ Fins Saints Jags Panthers Lions Edited December 28, 2021 by Thurman#1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I have one major concern over the next two weeks and it's Covid. We have seen it render some teams to be less than a shadow of themselves and to lose the division that way would be devastating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 14 hours ago, GunnerBill said: 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. This is pretty much where I'm at. It's a fantastic matchup for us.
