Pastor Dillon Posted yesterday at 11:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:31 AM We have not played but 6 guys in the secondary all season. Last week our 5 starters Stingley, Lassiter, Pitre, Murray and Bullock played every snap. That’s 4 guys in their first 3 seasons with 2 rookies. This is not a sustainable thing but we have no other options. our two linebackers played every play but 1, Hewitt came in for Tootoo for one play. we already had to play with Jimmy Ward, but we are one more injury away from a disaster in the back 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr A W Niloc Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago At first glance, things look bleak for the hometown sods: ===== Differentials, Blocking, Efficiencies, Wins, DVOAs ==== 2024 Points Points Diff-Rk || Block | RE PE W/L | DVOAs Ov 1001 Scored Allowed **** || Rn Ps | | Tl Of Df Rk Rk || | | Buff 30.5--2 20.8-12 +9.7--3 || 18 3 | 22 8 3-1 | 6-10--6 Hous 19.8-17 23.5-22 -3.7-24 || 27 20 | 25 7 3-1 | 20--6-11 There's a 12 point swing between Buffalo's points differential and Houston's. Normally, we'd stop reading and place our bets on the visitors now but something catches our eye: =Most Points + Yards Yielded, Ratings, Run/Pass Mix, Red Zone= Team Fantasy Points | || L E A S T | Df Def Def Wk5 2024 to to to to | to to: || Yards | DV R/P Red Raw Rk 1002 QB RB WR TE | PK DST || Rn Ps Pts | OA Mix Zon ^^ | || | 147-10 Buff 22 1 31 13 | 30 29 || 30 6 12 | 10 R-1 13 217=19 Hous 7 25 8 30 | 17 12 || 13 4 22 | 6 P-5 28 In terms of Fantasy Points, the Bills are the most generous franchise to opposing Running Backs. Third most generous in yardage. Buffalo must run the ball down their throats and use those great WRs as decoys and to punish 8-man boxes. Simple, right? Well... ===== Time of Possession, Total Plays, Runs, Targets, Yards ==== Pl Tm 2024 RB-Usages | R/P Running % || Yards | Block ay Po 1004 QB Rn-Ps-Use WR TE | Mix Prctg Rnk || Rn Ps | Rn Ps | || 30 25 Buff 29 14-24 21 26 18 | R-8 50.45 6th || 17 20 | 18 3 1 3 Hous 5 19-16 22 4 23 | R-7 38.06 27 || 20 4 | 27 20 The bad news is that Houston doesn't run particularly often (19th) or well (25th in Run Efficiency), their carcass removers are poor (27th) even when healthy, Buffalo is second stingiest against WRs, and Bills defenders are better than average (13th) in their red zone. On the other hand, Houston's ball control is top notch: most plays run, third in time of possession, and the Bills have injuries where it might hurt most: DTs Ed Oliver and Austin Johnson will be watching from the bleachers. Houston can win this game by making it boring. "2 yards + a cloud of dust" boring. Keep Josh Allen and the home team's defense off the field.
