iccrewman112 Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) By playing the don’t give up big scheme I believe the bills in effect took Poyer and Hyde almost out of the game. They were not involved in any plays in terms of pass breakups or getting over to assist on deep throws, etc. would have loved to see coverage mixed up from deep shell and press or even a few plays where they were within 10 yard of the line then retreated just before the snap. Way to vanilla in my opinion, all to not give up the big play. The Bills allowed 10 plays of 20 or more yards. Edited January 24, 2022 by iccrewman112 1 Quote

Big C Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I’m gonna wait and see what the all 22 film guys say about it because at this point I’m just stunned and confused. Week 5 we had AJ Klein and Siran Neal out there mugging Kelce at the line and this week we had Milano, who is supposed to be able to cover tight ends, just let Kelce take the game from us. Poyer and Hyde absolutely took the wrong angles on the Hill touchdown from what I could see. So even if we take away the deep ball, we let the intermediate routes turn into big plays… I don’t know there is just so much in my head right now. I thought the bills d was the one advantage we had in this game and it just wasn’t. 3 Quote
Do The Reich Thing Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 The Bills have a great regular season defense. Can’t play well in big moments when all the chips are on the table though. Quote
Aussie Joe Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 DL needed to get some pressure on Kermit ....was the problem all game in my opinion... they managed to improve the OL and Running game during the season but the DL was a bridge too far seemingly 1 Quote

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) The Bills defense imo played well from a scheme standpoint. Mahomes wasn't throwing on rhythm. He was making plays. Mahomes is unreal. There were a few plays obviously the defense would like back especially at the end of regulation, but Mahomes is just an unbelievable talent. They were making him move and dodge rushers all night. Edited January 24, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede 2 Quote

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 To my uneducated eye they played a lot of man coverage underneath with two deep safeties over the top. Multiple times Edmunds would go to the flat with the RB opening up the middle of the field. It took away the only thing Edmunds is good at. I guess the thought is you are doubling everyone by playing man with a safety over the top. Seems unwise as that is not the strength of our corners Quote
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 The only way to defend the Chiefs is with a 2 high shell. It's what gave them trouble when they stumbled early this year. For examples of what happens when you "don't play scared" and send pressure or play single high go look at what Mahomes did to the Raiders this year. 1 Quote
