The 85 frickin bears got carved up and blown out There are numerous examples of this over and over times 100 They're fine The goal right now is to stay healthy and get the 1 seed or get a defacto bye week 18 where the pats game doesn't matter Get a grip. The 1985 Bears lost by 14 to Miami in a game in which Steve Fuller started at QB, hardly blown out. The other teams have rings, when McClappy has one I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, until then, I've seen how this movie ends. 2 2 Quote
DeltaDigital Posted December 9 Posted December 9 and none of those teams punted into a field goal for the other team, and none of those teams mis managed the clock in a tight one where their all world thanos style qb was on a heater. Clappy McClapperson will never win this team a ring. I HOPE IM DEAD ASS WRONG. 1 Quote
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I think it will. Starting with the modern-Allen run in 2020 you saw the Colts out-gain the Bills, and the team had to hang on. They put up 472 yards that day. The Chiefs multiple times - hard to stop prime Mahomes with Kelce. The Bengals game was not competitive. Mixon could have run for 200-yards that day, soft serve coverage. Last year I don’t crush the Bills - Allen was pressing a lot. Down your #2 WR, MLB, backup-MLB, #2 corner, Rapp, no Milano, so that was kind of in a separate bucket for me. Allens losses excluding Texans, Chiefs x3, Bengals. Quality win - Ravens. Allen always having to do so much in the majority of these games (in the 2020 AFCCG Allen’s WRs disappeared), we’ve seen no pass rush before, we’ve seen the Bills sit back and try to keep everything in front of them. They’ve gotten a lot of turnovers this year, so that was to be noted, I just wouldn’t count on Rousseau dominating a game, but he’s the most talented defender on the Bills. 1 Quote
harmonkillebrew Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Good offenses and offensive coaches tend to dominate our D. Problem is that is what you tend to get in the playoffs. 1 1 1 Quote

Not so fast my friend. Lions are hurt but they still get pressure on the qb and Campbell sends them from everywhere. This is their chance at the #1 seed. They are also more rested. Unless the qb throws 5 picks again , I don’t see this d under these Mcd soft zone rules stopping them at all and our o will not face a bad d like the rams have. I would like to be wrong , but they pretty much have Been looking at this as their loss yet still be in the chase for the 1 seed. That disappeared yesterday. Josh will keep it within two scores , but I see this as our second 2 game losing streak. Then we finish off with the trashy afc east. But Los ing that one seed allows KC or Pittsburgh to rest and it’s a huge advantage. Just ask Thurman Thomas. lions come in very confident with only one loss and a huge point differential. They are not worried about an o that required two huge penalties to keep scoring drives alive. I’m sorry , against quality teams , Mcd has lost my trust ; it’s show me time. I we win only if we win the turnover battle by 2 or more imo. Again I want to be wrong , but I’ve watched the lions dismantle almost everyone. We lack a d line who can finish and you can’t fix that now without blitzing and Mcd is just never going to chance that. He prefers slow deaths by a million cuts. 1 2 Quote

Interesting post for a "Bills" fan but I'll bite. My point was that the Lions had to worry about Buffalo's high powered offense which has scored 30 or more points the last 7 games. Throw in the Lions injuries and I'm surprised you don't thin the Lions would be worrying about the Bills offense and Allen. BTW, I wasn't even talking about the Bills D or McD in my post. 1 1 Quote

Yeah because come playoff time we're no longer playing crap qbs. These guys can undress McD's zone. Last night was comical. It was like Nacua was just toying with us. Does anyone really think Groot or Von are getting to Mahomes? Quote
Since1981 Posted December 10 Posted December 10 In playoffs, all are smart coaches. It’s no longer about BS McClappy summer team building…They scheme. Do you like McD against Harbaugh, Tomlin, Andy? Mcvey, Cambell, with split second decisions? Ah, no. 1 Quote
zow2 Posted December 10 Posted December 10 The defense laid an egg yesterday. Learn from it, correct the issues, wash it off and move on to Detroit. They were not winning 16 games in a row to win the SB. Now they can reset and start playing solid football. 2 Quote

I think Sean could hang with Harbaugh, Tomlin & Campbell just based on our superior qb. 1 Quote

hondo in seattle Posted December 10 Posted December 10 22 hours ago, DapperCam said: Defense lacks talent/depth and will probably have at least one pretty bad game in the playoffs. We’ll all just have to hope that the offense is up to the task and we don’t have any special teams gaffes. I don’t think there is a team in the AFC that can throw on us like that other than the Bengals. Each squad on the team (offense, defense, ST) is capable of a range of performances from crappy to excellent. Yesterday, two of our units played like crap on the same day. In the playoffs, we won't be able to win like that. At most one unit can play subpar as long as the two other units play well enough to make up for it. 1 Quote

Sojourner Posted December 10 Posted December 10 The amount of pre-snap motion the Rams used was insane. Virtually every play had it. On top of that, the amount of times they had stack or trips lined up for a 3v2 is insane. Lions do this. So expect Ben Johnson to use it as well. If I’m any of the offensive guys in the remaining 4 games, Ben Johnson/Todd Downing/Van Pelt&McAdoo, I’m abusing that motion and creating that numbers mismatch unless our defense can prove it’s not confusing or effective. Absolute clinic of abuse on the McD/Babich schemes and calls. It happened all game. For the amount we use double high or quarters, it’s insane there’s absolutely no press or attempt to chuck guys at the line. What’s worse is we played cushion and we’re still getting catches against us @ 10-15 yards. 1 1 Quote

I was pissed off at McDermott and wanted him fired after 13 seconds. Truth is he's a great leader, highly respected and it's probably too difficult to improve on him as a HC. I've accepted his flaws as a HC and don't think it will matter with Allen at QB. I still think they are the best team in the NFL this year. Edited December 10 by Kelly to Allen 2 Quote

BullBuchanan Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Almost certainly, and it will be paired with the head scratching situational playcalling and gross game management to boot. 1 Quote
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 12 Posted December 12 Good video from Chris Simms breaking down what we saw against the Rams and why it applies to the Playoffs. It’s everything that some of the posters have observed here, and matches what Belichick has said. - The secondary is slow. - Because of the lack of speed, corners can’t play man coverage either. - Nobody scary on the defensive line - Soft zone doesn’t work against power arm QBs and smart route schematics, it’s too simple. Stay patient and it’s death by 1,000 cuts as Allen sits on the sidelines. - Against lesser teams the Bills can mask their rush defense because they don’t have to get out of Nickel. - Delayed Blitzes are so easy to diagnosis and counter, so Bills have to get more aggressive early in the down. Means you might get beat deep, but have to be willing to try. 1 Quote
