ProcessTruster Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Or maybe 4/5. Hard to keep track. Well, we'll see if my theory that injuries matter and "next man up" is largely garbage (ie: backups are way worse than starters in today's NFL, esp on the OLine). Although they went to the SB with a crap O Line last year, this wave of injuries is big and should make a difference in the game, Hope Frazier has some stuff ready to go . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 None of our edge rushers are very consistent. Constantly getting pushed wayyyy up field. We are really gonna need Eddy O to have a big game 6 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Their backups arent terrible players. Probably not going to as big a deal as people will make out. 4 3 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astb41 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Did they officially rule people out? I thought they were “week to week” at this point? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Jonah was on crutches and a knee brace after the game. Cappa got hurt in the Week 18 Ravens game. DNPs all week. Monday of last week Taylor said Cappa would be a long shot to play against the Ravens in the Playoffs. And Collins is gone for the year regardless. All this said, I’m with others. I’m not sure the Bills DEs can take advantage of this. Rousseau would seem to be in the best spot, but when was his last “big” game? One sack isn’t going to do anything. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I will most certainly be PO'd if we walk out of this game with something like 3 sacks for 8 yards and Burrows lighting us up because we could not get to him. All the picks, all the free agents and you lose Von Miller a couple of months ago and you turn into the sisters of the poor trying to put a pass rush on? Please. Will not be happy.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The best way to get pressure against an O-line that doesn't have experience playing together is to use stunts and disguised blitzes so that the linemen are unable to figure out their blocking assignments. I would love to see Rousseau used more on inside stunts considering he was extremely successful doing that in college. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pass rush isn’t good at all. Bengals are a passing team but, like us, they also need to run the ball. They likely won't be able to do that very well behind the right side of their line. With the LT out they might not be able to at all off tackle. I also think we will be able to dial up some pressure. If not we will likely have problems.

Hughes/Addison etc. the Obada flyer. Four high picks. Then, for 8 games we actually had a pass rush. Then, it all ended on that horrendous turf in Detroit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ESPN stat says Bills are 13th in pass win rate. Five in yards per attempt. 4th in overall DVOA, 8th in pass DVOA. I'd say the pass rush isn't too shabby.

larrym Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 its true our pass rush is ineffective. Watching the 49ers d its plain to see our defense needs an overhaul. I myself am pretty calm too. I'm not confident we can win this game and this is just be objective. This team all year is like an engine with a misfire or dead cylinder. In some ways not making the superbowl might be a blessing because i think whoever emerges from the AFC probably will get steamrolled. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
