Looking Ahead to Buffalo

[Southpaw]

The Seahawks of all people sacked Allen 7 times. We should at least get pressure.

All the while he ;
Tossed 3 TDs
Ran for 1 TD
Went 31/38
415 yds
0 picks

So much for sacks. He just hangs in there. Could be a long day for Cards.

Hello friends, just swinging by, I like to visit other teams' message boards when the Bills play them.

Looking forward to this one, I anticipate a lot of points and big plays.

The Seahawks of all people sacked Allen 7 times. We should at least get pressure.

The Bills had 3 offensive linemen go out in the middle of the game, all grouped together. The Seahawks capitalized on this by blitzing almost every play, including quite a few cover-0 looks. They stopped the cover-0 after they were torched by a few cover-0 beaters, screens in particular. But that's why they hit home so much on a line that has otherwise been good at pass protection this year (though they've struggled to open holes in the run game). Before this game, they allowed 13 sacks in 8 games, including one where Allen's toe was out of bounds before he could throw a ball away.

The Bills have struggled the most on offense this year against zone coverage when looks are disguised pre-snap, which is likely true for any young QB. So you guys would do well to employ this. Our WRs are too good/deep for man coverage across the board to work consistently. Our run game has been nonexistent really, but part of that is because we haven't been interested in getting it going - we had 33 pass attempts before we ran our 3rd run play yesterday. If you force us to rely on it by effectively confusing Josh before the snap, you will be able to shut us down.

And we are just young/inexperienced enough that sometimes we get in our own way - against the Jets, we had 9 straight drives end in the red zone out of 10 drives in the whole game (and I think the outlier there was still a made field goal just before the half in a 1 minute drill), outgained them ~420 to ~150, and still didn't score a TD. These were almost always self-inflicted errors, and are a possibility any given week because of how young our team is.

The Bills' defense is a shadow of what it once was, and will probably have a horrendous time with Kyler's dual-threat abilities. They are okay in pass coverage, but play soft zone coverage most of the time, allowing the underneath stuff and betting on the opponent making a mistake at some point in a 12-15 play long drive. This worked in previous years, but relied on these mistakes as well as the occasional big sack and turnover, which have both been lacking this year. Last year, I believe they only allowed 2 plays longer than 50 yards, one was a broken coverage. The strategy prevents that stuff. This year, they still bend just as badly, but they also break frequently. That said, this week they shifted gears and decided to get aggressive. They took the hits in the form of big plays, but made a bunch of big plays themselves, with 16 QB hits on Wilson, 5 sacks, and 4 turnovers. The big plays made the yards-against look bad, but the strategy worked for beating a high-octane offense, and I hope they continue to employ it against yours! Either way, expect 30+ points for your guys this week.

Josh Allen is a different man when the weather is good, or when he plays in a dome. We drafted the big arm for Buffalo weather, but his worst performances are weather games. Grateful for your dome (not that I'd expect weather in Arizona to be bad!), and I hope we build one in Buffalo.

He's really good, and still raw. The "accuracy" narrative was never correct, it was all footwork and mechanics, which he has fixed for most of the games this season. His natural accuracy is fine, and his biggest problems are dealing with emotions (the guy went from tiny crowds in a small conference to NFL prime time in a few months), hero ball, and the typical defense-diagnosing issues that all young QBs have. I believe his percent of passes on target this year is top 5 in the league, so hopefully the accuracy narrative dies soon.

His shoulder injury is healed, he finally had the brace off this week and the difference in statistics and performance was immediate, even if it was the Seahawks (it's not like the Jets and Pats are great on D either)

Bills fans have a lot of respect for the Cardinals, and plenty of us are less confident this week than we were last week. I actually went to OU while Kyler was there (and taught their kicker general physics!) so I have a soft spot for him. Hope for a good, injury free game, and hope this post could teach you a little about our beloved Bills!

Its going be another shootout possibly. Buffalo not good versus the run. I remember seen Tre Davious White go down today. It will be big if he is out next week

We were scared about Tre, but his movement and body language after getting his ankle wrapped made us not so worried. We still haven't heard anything, but teams do just fine while throwing away from him this year haha so I wouldn't be too worried if he does play.

His history with Hopkins ain't great for Tre

 

[PJ1]

Bills looked really good yesterday. Allen is tough as nails and watching the game made me miss John Brown. He is dynamic for sure. Do we win? I don't know with this team. Need Murphy back at the least.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Wait guys.....

We don't lose to good teams. Only mediocre ones.

Cards 34
Bills 27

 

[Redsz]

With how up and down we have been this year who knows what happens. However, likely a Buffalo win.

 

[Card'em]

Vegas likes us by 3...but of course they liked us by 4 initially over Miami.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Im already 8 1 in my money lg with allan at qb so just this week hope cards def shows up lol

Im expecting a bills w however they are dangerous good wrs and Singletary is a good rb

I perfer az being underdogs usually work out better sigh.....

 

[Cards_Campos]

Well Stop. Seattle is on pace for the worst defense of all time. Buffalo is t as good as they looked yesterday. Seattle had to stop New England from the 1 to win and stop NE from
Scoring like 37. We will be right there with Buffalo. It’s going to come down to kliff not shriveling up. The Rams came back from like 24 down in the second half and had a bad PI call take the game away against Buffalo. We will
Score a boat load of points

 

[Cards_Campos]

Also Seattle Scored 34 and had 4 turnovers. 2 in the redzone. We can score 35 on buffalo

 

[Southpaw]

Im expecting a bills w however they are dangerous good wrs and Singletary is a good rb

Right now Zach Moss is getting more carries than Singletary, but the Bills have 2 good RBs. Cards don't have the equal.

 

[BritCard]

This board : "P2 always struggles against smaller, shifty WRs.

[Chopper0080]

I imagine it will look very similar to this past game vs Miami. My hope is that our offense can pull it out while Vance gets "pantsed" a 3rd week in a row.

I hope we whoop you but your game and the next seahawks games are going to be really hard fought wins if we can get them. Beating you would help in the wildcard hunt too

I penciled in this game as a L for the Cards when the schedule came out. Man Josh Allen sure has proven a lot of people wrong ever since he was drafted. At this point the Bills are certainly a more complete team.
The Cardinals of course have a punchers chance because of Kyler Murray and our offenses ability to score points. But the odds say Buffalo wins.

I'm not sure we are a more complete team - our defense has really struggled.

Our Special Teams have at least been very good.

I think this is the most evenly matched game we will play this season. I think both of these teams could win 2 playoff games if they drew the right opponents, but are looking ahead to their best days still.

Wonder why?

He looked better than Whittaker

 

[Foxx]

expect a good gamer this coming Sunday.

Let's Go Buffalo!!!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

If the team does not get Kennard or Murphy back, Cards are going to have to score 50 pts to win.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

If the team does not get Kennard or Murphy back, Cards are going to have to score 50 pts to win.

I would guess they will both be back. We knew they were positive on the 1st and our next game isn't until the 15th. That should be enough time for them to no longer be testing positive.

I'm a Cards fan to the core but I always liked Jim Kelly, so there that...

Cards 34-24

Thanks for coming on board with your input.

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

FWIW Kennard posted on instagram that he's "this close" to getting his life back with his fingers like an inch apart... Maybe they get cleared to practice soon? we need them in a big way

 

[TJ]

Whittaker made mistakes, but was aggressive and made some big tackles in the game.

Bausby looked disinterested.
