What weaknesses in the Bills game did New England bring to light (adding to our advantage)?

:snoopy:

the pats only had 15 rushing attempts and threw 50+ times.
 
They have a weak secondary. Something we should have already known
 
As I said yesterday, NE passed for 466 yards, and it was quick dinks and dunks. Can't let that front 7 penetrate
 
It doesn't matter. We are not a team that takes advantage of other teams weaknesses. Never really have been.
 
I agree. After a Summer of being fooled about how-fast pressed the offense would be, we certainly didn't take advantage offensively, when the defense had a few 3 and outs in a row
 
I expect Joe to come out and establish our running game, knowing that the Beefs are weak against the pass and our backs and line are crippled.

Weak against the pass? Maybe stay away from Gilmore though and all routes better be inside 5 yards and Tannenhill better have defined reads and get Ball put in 2 seconds or you will see the Bills are not as weak against the pass as many think
 
The Bills have no poise. Through two weeks, they lead the NFL in penalties, and they don't have the team to over come 12.5 penalties per game. Miami is currently 6th in the NFL for most penalties, but we've shown in the past seasons that this team doesn't typically struggle in this area. When playing T. Taylor, you want to incorporate a mush rush - similar to what LSU did to Johnny Manziel. If you push the pocket and maintain your gap responsibilities, Taylor struggles. If you don't maintain your gaps, Taylor will make plays with his feet or buy time to throw the ball.

I wouldn't say the Bills' secondary is weak. Brady played very well in Week 2, and Gronk causes anyone problems. Rex Ryan struggled with Gronk some - at times manning up LB's on Gronk. We obviously don't have a comparable mismatch, so I don't see that helping us much. If the Bills come out blitzing, Landry and Matthews will have to win early, and we can't afford drops on short passes. Miami will have to play better than they have so far this season. Coyle needs to figure out what he's doing on the D-line, and it'd be great if Phillips could spend more time next to Suh on base downs.

i dont think bills are weak against the pass... maybe banged up a bit back there though. Great DLine to worry on.

We need to block, its obvious... we need to be able to run the ball. I would love to test darby with our guys, separate from him!!! Darby has been quite impressive so far, but our WRs can hopefully beat him out.

consistency with attacking the Buffalo defense is important. block, quick reads and decisions, chunks of yards!!!

Totally agree here... well said

I was saying one of my main keys of winning is pressuring Taylor, but mostly maintaining him... we must pressure with discipline, hold our lanes and areas!!! cant let him run and escape!!!


penalties SHOULDNT be a problem with us, usually we are great in that aspect as you said... that JAX game was ugly and rare with them.
 
If we use Jacksonville's gameplan against them we should win. Very quick passes, run away from dareus, attack there weak assed secondary, stop the run.
 
They have better coaches... So, our "Deficiencies" will be more exposed and exploited.

I would have to agree with this. After watching Gilmore and Darby, these Bills are pretty solid on Defense all around. IMO, they have no glaring weaknesses. We will need to create mis-matches based using shifts, mis-directions and motions just to get our routes in the right place. We will have to eat using short and medium pass route combinations, as I am sure they cannot cover all of them, all of the time. Either way, this is going to be a knock-down drag-out. I will be at the game. Will you?
