Didn't we have three linebackers on the first play where Henry ran wild ? I remember seeing 3 

Yes. I was at the game and noted that there was a 3rd LB -- and the safeties were playing up close rather than in their usual cover-2 formation. So those pointing out that their scheme of not crowding the line of scrimmage, may see this first play as the reason that the coaches backed off from it. The drawback is that if the ball carrier manages to break through the initial line of defense, there is no second level to contain him. And Henry is a special case (as we have seen) where he is like a freight train once he gets up to his top level of speed. After that they backed off (some would say "played scared"), willing to let Henry pop off 4-5 yards per carry in exchange for avoiding another back-breaking run.

"The Ravens ran out of heavy sets 82% of the time. The Bills gave light box counts on rushing downs (6 or less in the box) on 41.2% of rushing snaps. Heavy box counts only 8.8% of the time."

 

Just smh.

 

Nice Joe.

 

I noticed those wham blocks and our DTs either getting blown off or riden past the plays over and over. They kept going after it like it was a predominantly passing offense and they needed a penetrating style of rush to affect the passer.

 

Wrong plan for the wrong opponent.

 

Needed the right box count and disciplined rush contain strategy to keep Lamar and Henry hemmed in and they did neither.

 

That is on the coaches not the players. I hope they learn and grow from this.
