Title: We Have the Best Point Differential in the AFC East Post by: EDGECRUSHER on October 14, 2020, 08:29:11 am Thanks to our blowout of the Niners and the Bills humiliation by the Titans. Buffalo is now -3 in point differential. Their defense is trash and they won every game by a close margin, just like last year.
I'm not saying we are winning the division or anything like that, but things may still be interesting by Week 12. Title: Re: We Have the Best Point Differential in the AFC East Post by: fyo on October 14, 2020, 10:56:04 am One thing the Bills and 49ers have in common: Turns out having your cover guys unable to suit up is a problem. It was way too easy for the current and former Dolphins' quarterbacks to find open receivers (and tight ends).
We had a bit of the same problem when Byron Jones was out. With the increasing emphasis on throwing in the NFL, coverage depth has never been more important. And considering the added "injury" risk from COVID-19 this year, that depth can quickly be sorely tested. One thing that can help cover (haha) for the lack of coverage ability is a good pass rush. We didn't put pressure on the Josh Allen, the 49ers didn't put pressure on Fitzpatrick, and the Bills didn't put pressure on Tannehill. No coverage AND no pressure... yeah, you are probably not going to win. |
