I know I am an outsider but I watched Cleveland v Miami and Cleveland has decent CB so..

 

1. RUN THE DANG BALL! — Miami ran all over them and took an early lead using their run game.

 

2. STOP THE RUN. — Chubb and Hunt are a very nasty 1-2 punch and if you want to win you need to stop them first. 
 

3. TE/ SECONDARY RECEIVERS — Can’t rely on Diggs as I expect Cleveland will be able to keep him in semi check. (They did an OK job on Waddle and Hill till they had to start pinching up to stop the run.. but still with them combining for only a 100 yards that’s pretty decent coverage on them.. )

 

4. TAKE THE POINTS - I don’t know what’s happening in the NFL.. But stop overthinking things and kick the dang FG  to extend a lead. Stop over analyzing things..

 

I dare say if the Bills just do the first thing they will not be stopped on O.. the question is will the coaches have the patience to stick with it. (Pats bet the Chiefs 3 times because they dared them to run and they wouldn’t stick with it, they also did it to Peyton Manning and the Colts.  It’s a conman problem with a top QB )

 

 

It's easier said than done with then biggest problem with this team right now is point 1 & 2.

 

This is why I'm very concerned we could be heading into another Colts type of game from last year and when the Browns have been successful this year it's getting a head of steam early and buliding a lead so they can commit to their strength which is a dominant physical running team like the aforementioned colts game last year.

We can win with even a poor running game if we never turn the ball over. Easier said than done these days.

What success? This team is on the verge of a complete collapse!

I thought the Brown secondary was pretty bad?

I really think we’ll be OK.  This is coming from a Southtowns lifer.  There’s no way to know for sure until Saturday or Sunday.  But, as of now, this is supposed to be a bigger problem for South Buffalo/West Seneca, which is just a little north of OP.  (For those who aren’t from here, the SB/West Seneca storms are the really bad ones, and conditions can be vastly different over the span of a few miles as one heads from the Stadium in OP up Southwestern or Abbott.)

 

These things also tend to wind down a bit before the storm watch/warning ends, which is 7p on Sunday.  I’m not saying we won’t have snow this weekend (we will, and it seems like it could be bad).  But the scenario we’re trying to avoid is having two inches an hour fall during the game.  At this point, I’m not terribly worried about that happening.  

Yea living on the Great lakes we never know what the weather is in advance....I live in erie pa so I'm all too aware of the weather around here.

They are..but if there is a blizzard and gusting winds it could make passing an issue

1. Have McD call the Defense

 

2. Make Dorsey stand on the sideline

 

3. Instruct players to fake injury on 4th and shorts(especially in FG range), to avoid making stupid knee jerk decisions.

They did a good job on Waddle and Hill like I said.. not great but good. Tua spread the ball around ALOT in that game.
