Depends how often Mario, Jerry and Marcel are dropping in coverage.
They have two in as of right now.
The defense wouldn't be giving up 30 points per game if their offense could sustain some drives and not just rely on big plays.
I still can't fathom how Tyrod tossed it up to Sammy with such great success in the first half, and didn't even try it once in the second half. I just don't get it. It's not like it was all busted coverages in the first half. The DBs were there. Sammy just made the plays. How do you not just throw it up to him a couple times in the second? Who cares if they are even intercepted.
I am going through the same thing. After that game, for the first time all year I didn't even care who was playing in the 4:00 games. I just turned it off and went and did chores for a couple hours. It's slowly getting tougher and tougher to justify my time spent following this team/sport.
To be fair, the Chiefs made an adjustment at halftime with their free safety. They had him lining up in the center of the field in the first half. In the second half, they mostly had him lining up near the sideline wherever Sammy was.Grigs Allmoon said:
You sure? I recall seeing safety help on nearly every one of Sammy's deep catches.
This guy does the best breakdowns of Bills games/plays of anyone I know on the internet. Read through his timeline and check out the gifs he tweeted from 3 days ago about the offense.
I don't buy it. Among other things... Bump and run on deep routes with a guy like Watkins, and a S over the top is pretty much 1 on 1 with that Safety.
The RG John Miller has been out a few weeks. The starting RT Henderson is a turnstile anyway. It can't get much worse. In fact, I'll go nuts if the Bills don't draft a OT in the first round next year. I could see a linebacker, perhaps, but Henderson needs to go.Sarlakticacid said:
Bills aren't going to have a choice about drafting an OT. Cordy Glenn is almost guaranteed to be leaving via FA.
Not dead yet!
How do you figure? Looks like we lose the tie-breaker with Pittsburgh so we still need help.
Just screwed around with 1 and managed to get the Bills in with a 3-1 finish. Longshot but possible.
Yep this is just the 9-7 scenario.
I don't see where you guys are coming up with all of these scenarios. Considering the inevitable loss that will come at the hands of Fitzpatrick in week 17 to knock the Bills out of the playoffs, I can't see a way for them to get in no matter what they or any other teams do over the next 3 weeks.
Outside of a bunch of wild upsets, it's virtually impossible for the Bills to get in without beating the Jets in week 17.Grigs Allmoon said:
This one doesn't really matter, right? Like you said, the Bills simply have to beat the Jets to have any chance at the playoffs. And if we beat the Jets, we tie them up with the H2H tiebreaker in hand.
I agree. Winning 5 straight (would include this last win) just doesn't seem likely. And those two losses are killers.
I was joking... Losing to the Jets, while being in a win-and-in scenario is typical Bills. It's destined to happen, so weeks 14-16 will have no bearing on the outcome.
They signed him to the practice squad. Rumor is the Niners tried to sign Nick O'Leary off the practice squad so the Bills were forced to sign him to the active roster.
I'm all for him being involved every week. He's been one of the most underused players in the league. It's awful.
One of my favorite players. When he keeps his emotions in check, he's the vocal leader of that secondary and the kind of voice the entire defense needs.
Unfortunately the follow-up on the reports that he was practicing are kind of scary. Sounds like he may never be healed up. He's giving it a try, but it's a very real possibility that he may just decide to retire :(
