Pre-Game Thread Game 6: Bills @ Titans

Last year the Bills sold out to stop Henry, and Tannehill was extremely efficient in the passing game. Plus Allen had an uncharacteristically bad game, missing open WRs that the Bills were scheming open all night. I wouldn't expect that again.

If Downing insists on running Henry into a wall 30 times, this one is gonna get ugly.

 

I would hope the Titans know better than trot out the same game plan they used against the bottom feeders that we've beat and lost to. They need to prioritize two things. 1. Do everything possible to give Tanne more time. 2. Contain and get to Allen. We've practically blitzed with extra people none this season. 3 and 4 man rushing all day.

 

Downing was VASTLY more creative against the Jaguars than I’ve ever seen him. That third touchdown drive was a thing of beauty. If Downing can bring that kind of game plan and our defense is competitive, this should be a really fun game to watch.

 

Is anyone else excited at the prospect of AJ, Julio, Reynolds and Johnson actually playing together for the first time?

 

BUT, WILL it happen?

 

Vrabel probably is...

 

Huge on offense if we get Julio back. Pass early and often using quick release passes and set up the run. They are going to bring some pressure so expect it early instead of having Tannehill's brains beat in to make a change.

Also mix in some screens and power traps (Davis is a beast on those traps) to slow down the penetration up front.

On defense it would be big to have Hooker and Dupree back but main thing is to not give up the big play. KC was horrific at letting guys behind them and some were wide open. Bend but don't break. Good to see Jack Rabbit have a good game and maybe Farley can contribute.

In some ways the KC game was an enigma. They were bad and the Bills were real sharp. Just don't give them anything and make them earn everything and we have a good chance at a win. The teams actually match up pretty well.

 

The Bills really improved their pass rush in the offseason and it will be a big test against our Oline. We have to pass protect or this game could be over by halftime.

I was at the game a few years ago when their fans took over our stadium. Embarrassing. Easily 50/50 if not worse.

 

totally agree with Soxcat...we have to defend against the big play...although we are more of a man coverage team I think that we will play more zone coverage against the Bills...we need to beg them to run against us...Farley and Molden were effective blitzers in college...we don't have a sack from the secondary this yr, but I expect us to blitz Allen some...we can't just let him stand back their unharrased all day...I bring a blitz or 2 early in the game and even if they don't get home it makes Allen start worrying about it more. Time for Big Jeff, Autry, Dupree, and Landry to run a few games and get to Allen....TitanUp!!!

 

We got to have Fulton Monday. And Farley missing practice again for illness? If Fulton is out we need our first round pick to play at least some. Yes it will be great to see A.J and Julio and Dupree monday!
