A Very Falcoholic Discussion: Beating The Buffalo Bills

the backups backup at qb, we blitz blitz blitz. we can get pressure and that will make this game easier, just roll a little safety help over t.o’s way and it should be good to go!

but do it with some creativity – not plain up the middle. don’t make Ryan throw the ball even if he feels ok – I think the Bills have one of the league leaders in pick-sixes.

If their top two guys can’t go, we’ll get to see Bobby Petrino’s Louisville QB, small world eh? Bet the Falcons are salivating at the prospect of a QB that’s never taken a regular-season snap!

Bills’ D appears to be vulnerable to the run. They rank dead last in rushing yards allowed per game, and 31st in yards allowed per rush attempt.

Ryan should have no more than 20 passes, like slick said were playing the worst run defense, run the ball make the game shorter, 8 man fronts on defense and blitz to put the game on brohm’s shoulders IN GRIMES I TRUST

Although, as someone mentioned above, their pass defense is not that bad , actually it’s 3rd in the NFL, and Jairus Byrd is imo defensive rookie of the year (tops the NFL with 9 interceptions). OTOH, Falcons fare well against good pass defenses (W against Jets, Washington, Bears, Bucs, split with Panthers), if we keep Matt in the background and work with the run. Bills are dead last against the run. Looks like a hint to me. :)

He’s leading the NFL in interceptions and essentially takes away the middle of the field on his best days. I don’t want to see a wobbly Matt Ryan pass in his hands.

I think the Falcons need to Keep running the the ball, but need more play action off the run. They are to predictable. Just my opinion.

 Would like to see the Falcons back in black.

I think it goes without saying that we need to make their QB (whoever it is) beat us through the air.

If we’re going to roll safety help, roll it towards Lee Evans.

T.O. can be covered 1 on 1. While he is in fantastic shape, he can be covered man-up, easily.

I think the Bills have a decent pass catching TE, too. And Fred Jackson is a threat in the backfield.

One thing the Jets didn’t do is run screen plays (at least I don’t remember any) we should expect at least a few of them from the Bills to alleviate some of the pressure we’ll be bringing.

I’m hoping this’ll be an easy victory, but I don’t call them the Heart Attack Birds for nothin’.

I don’t care who is carrying the ball, as long as someone is on almost every down. Also, this is a great game to get Matt Ryan back in a groove to finish out the season strong. Need for him to be at 60% completion percentage at the least. Two-Thirds run v. One-Third pass… Simple as pie. Defense: Eight in the box to stuff the run and force their Twentieth string QB to beat us down the field.

ESPN has none other than the Falcons defense projected to be the highest scoring fantasy defense this week.

All I can say is, “Lolololololololololol.”
