Mango Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 5 hours ago, WotAGuy said: If you read the National and Green Bay press about the game, it’s universally about the Bills being dominant in the game. The rushing yards by Green Bay are just a curiosity. If you look at the stats, it’s hard to believe Buffalo won. The Bills are so close to being a perfect team, that every imperfection looks glaring. This felt like the TB/Patriots years, but the script was flipper. It didn’t matter what GB did. Really long sustained drives. Commit to the run. Win the turnover battle. Force Allen into mistakes. Rattle Diggs. GB was never able to get into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The run defense is a non issue. If the offense doesn't have an off day that game script from Green Bay will get them run out of the building 10/10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Think of it this way in situational football… the packers needed big plays fast. They were essentially the equivalent of facing 3rd and 15 the entire second half. No one cares if they run for 7 yards a carry there. As a DC you’d agree to that every day without pulling players out of the secondary. our offense committed turnovers, our defense missed tackles, and we still won by two scores because every time they handed the ball off on the proverbial third and 15 they gained 7-10 yards and lost the down. Many of those big runs saw their odds of winning go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 It never felt like GB posed a threat of scoring a ton of points. Not concerned at all. Side note: I get to my office this morning and my supervisor comes in to say “ your Bills played rough last night. They were putting in an extra umph in their tackles. That’s a really good team. “ fwiw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’m not rioting over this one but I do think teams have a bit of roadmap against us. Josh tends to press more when you keep him off the field. The defense will allow offenses to be methodical, which in turn can lead to keeping the offense off the field. Within this you also need to execute at a very high level. That said, am I bit concerned that KC gets smart and runs 30 times at us or other more traditional passing teams? Who on earth dare trying to beat us by air or matching our score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their strength bleeds the.clock….. that’s why I don’t find it odd. They didn’t want to get beat deep. Aaron Jones also made something out of nothing on more than a couple occasions.

mrags Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Yeah. They won’t be fine. Exposing this defense for what it is. A bad tackling team. Feels like it’s been a bad tackling team for years now. When you’re blowing teams away you’re fine. But in close games where running the ball matters, it’s noticeable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense though was bad last week in the 2nd half and terrible today. No Knox, Gabe, Shakir or running game. This offense needs to make some serious adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to hear about how great the "Number 1" defense is when a team you know will hand off and run the ball gashes you for 208 on 31 carries. Those yards against were not gimmicky QB scrambles and reverses like some weeks, this was just straight smash mouth. Not only was the tackling poor, but it appears the Packers were taking advantage of the DL gaps and the LB's were not plugging them up at the point of attack....basically just getting out schemed and out physical'd. The tackling was piss poor and some guys were just going for battering ram type tackles instead of wrapping up. Stop flying in there like an out of control missile, and just tackle the ball carrier. Anyway, they'll be fine. I think this will turn out to be their worst performance of the season vs the run.. But New England will try the same stuff, and maybe Jets too. Where are all the eye rollers, vomited, and disagreers...yeah I know it's not a word? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the brilliant posters told me to buzz off and my take was dumb because the Bills were letting them run at will, Lol.

Soft & poor tackling defense. Let Pickett get into a rhythm (yes, I'm aware that the Bills dominated the game), and did the same with Wilson today. He completed 72% of his passes. We let the Jets impose their will today, instead of being proactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
