GroveDiesel 9,218 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Losing Brown for the next 3 games is going to be pretty tough, especially in situations where they’d like to go 4 wide. Gotta think with Cody Ford being done for the season, Quinton Spain is laughing. There is going to be a hole at LG for the rest of the season now. And for all of McDermott’s smoke about possibly not playing Morse, that’s not even a possibility now IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GroveDiesel 9,218 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 And next week’s game against the Niners just got really interesting. Santa Clara is shutting down all high school, college, and pro sports that involve any contact for 3 weeks. So now the Niners need to find a place to practice and a place to play next Monday Night’s game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Tasker 8,195 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Bills caught a bit of a break today - Chargers were not at their best. Coaching aside, Herbert missed a lot of throws. It's nice to win a game when you're not at your best. Allen wasn't inefficient (another 75% comp % game) but got clobbered by Bosa repeatedly and that INT was dreadful. Still, Bills ran the ball pretty well and the defense showed up when it mattered. Big INT from White, a big 4th down stop, they did enough. Keep pace with Miami and New England.

Totally different starting place each game for them. The O-like seriously needs to get figured out though as far as pass blocking goes. They have not been good lately at all and it is showing. They are struggling to get time to throw the ball down the field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GroveDiesel 9,218 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sounds like there’s a good chance the Bills get Tyrell Dodson back this week at linebacker. That would be a good thing. Oh, and Matt Milano too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IvanKaramazov 21,987 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Klein is AFC Defensive Player of the Week. I'm sure we can all probably come up with other examples of players who went from "wow, this guy is a serious liability" to "wow, this guy is playing lights out," but this is really a breathtaking 180 for Klein. Good for him. If you told me six weeks ago that we were going to find ourselves with an embarrassment of riches at the LB position, I'd have laughed at you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that’s crazy to me, is that if you watched that game and came away thinking that Klein deserved that award this week more than Bosa, well, then I’m not sure what you were watching. The Bills have done a great job adjusting their scheme and using Klein in ways that play to his strengths and limiting his exposure on his weaknesses. It’s been good to see both him and Edmunds playing a lot more aggressively and better 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twenty-Four Eighty-Four 685 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Does Klein go back to the bench when Milano is activated? Asking for my IDP league. Both are available but I'd only be able to grab one. Do they both split time? Is Milano stepping right back into his normal role? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milano will be the guy, assuming he’s 100% healthy. Klein may end up getting more reps than he was at the beginning of the season, but Milano is a really really good linebacker (almost certainly their best). 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not excited about the Steelers losing tonight. They are going to come out motivated and focused next week... Getting pressure on Big Ben will be hugely important. They’re going to throw the ball a ton and Ben isn’t as mobile as he used to be and he can be pressured into making bad passes. On the other side of the ball, the Bills need to keep Watt off of Allen as much as possible. Chip him with a TE or RB and go at him with screens. The Steelers are really hurting at linebacker so I could see another big game for Beasley dominating over the middle of the field. Should be another fun prime time game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kinda odd to see such a disparity between Miami and the Bills in the SOS discussion. 12 of their games are against the exact same opponents and 2 of the games are against each other.

It’s possible I missed an outlier team as I didn’t check everyone, but teams like Browns, Dolphins, Titans, Colts, Packers, Saints and Bucs all have less than that.

IvanKaramazov 21,987 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Over the past 24 hours, the Bills have gone from 2.5 point dogs to 2.5 point favorites over the Steelers. Second week in a row with a wild swing in the betting line. (I think the original line was about right, and the betting public is overreacting to last night's games, FWIW).

GroveDiesel 9,218 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Remember a year ago, before the Bills and Steelers played, when PFF insisted that the Steelers would beat the Bills because Duck Hodges is a better QB than Josh Allen? A year later Hodges is a 4th string QB and on the practice squad and Josh Allen is in the MVP conversation. This is an excellent reminder that PFF’s analysis of Josh Allen wasn’t just terrible, their analysis on Hodges was garbage as well. So their contention that Allen is a unicorn outlier and that their analysis overall is good takes a bit of a hit when you see what they thought of Hodges as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d feel a lot better about the O-line if Spain was at LG instead of Boettger. The Bills and their desire to force the Cody Ford issue screwed that up. Of course, Spain should have handled it better too and I bet he regrets missing out on playing for something special instead of playing for the garbage heap that is the 2020 Burrows-less Bengals.
