CFZ Thoughts/Opinions about the Bills!

[Cowboyny]

Kind of like Seattle two weeks ago, the Cowboys will be facing a desperate team as they are fighting to get into the playoffs. Huge game for the Cowboys if they want to stay in the divisional race, Bills are a common opponent that the Eagles already beat.

Offense

-Bills rank within the top 5 in sacks and are 1 of the best defenses in creating turnovers. With all the interceptions we have gotten this yr, Bills are just 1 behind.
-Must contain Ed Oliver has he can potentially wreck the game. DL also is excellent in tipped passes.
-Bills have been hit hard with injuries on their defense, especially the loss of Miliano and White. Teams have had success on the ground against them.
-Scheme forces teams to throw underneath to the backs and TE's. Must sustain long drives and don't have self induced, drive killing penalties.


Defense

-Josh Allen might be the best dual threat QB in the league, Cowboys have to use the same strategy as last week, keep him inside the pocket. He has a tendency to trust his strong arm too much and make tight throw passes that lead to many tipped passes and interceptions. He is in the top 5 in TD's and interceptions.
-Recently changes their OC, where they use more of a short passing game to the backs and TE's.
-Offense is absolutely loaded everywhere with talent, 1 elite WR, two real good receiving TE's and a dual threat runner. However, they have been inconsistent.
-Bills OL is probably their biggest weakness on that side of the football. Believe there should be opportunities to generate pressure, but have to get Allen down.

Special Teams

-Their kicker seems a little inconsistent from the games I have watched.

WR's are pretty suspect after Diggs. Davis hasnt taken that step to be a legit #2. Kinda in that Crayton/TWill class. Interior OL is bad outside Morse. McGovern is what he was with us, and Torrence has been pretty bad. Odighizuwa could have a great game

 

[baltcowboy]

The Bills defensively are similar to Eagles. Really good front 4 but bad at linebacker. Their secondary and linebacker core has been decimated by injuries. Our offensive line needs to play well because there will be opportunities to score on them.

Josh Allen destroyed us in Dallas in 2019. Put a clown suit on Jaylon and Lee on Thanksgiving. Our defense now is built for Allen. Parsons, Armstrong, Bell, and Clark need to lay the wood to him. This will be the game of the year so far. Buffalo needs to win out to make the playoffs. We need to win out to have a chance at the 1 seed.

 

[CCBoy]

Their 'rook' tight end has been injured and not good blocking.

You can run against them.

There are injuries in their defensive secondary.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Statistically they are fairly even with us in most categories. For your perusing pleasure: Try this !

It is going to be a tough game especially being away from AT&T. I think we'll be lucky to get out of their with a win. We HAVE to win the turnover battle IMO. Dak needs to continue to do what he's been doing and the run game needs to be a threat to them throughout the game.

Fingers crossed here. GO COWBOYS !

I think the teams are similarly built. they are close, and the line reflects it too. they have lost a bunch of close games they didn't have business losing. like us earlier, had trouble finishing games. like the one against Eagles. or Broncos or patriots. they played down to the level of the other team it seems. they are dangerous.

the one thing, which I hope it continues, I am sure Allen will run, he has been doing it all year. extending plays, but he also tends to force throws and make bad throws. with our penchant for getting interceptions, it should create some opportunities for us. I also think we need to force the run this game. we should run early in the game, and pull their defense in close to stop the run. I don't mind as much ending up in 3rd and short situations (3rd and 4, 3rd and 5). we should see some quick passing game this week as they are also good in getting sacks and pressure. Steele worries me. this is a game that's going to go into the 4th quarter. Dak should be safe with the ball and not force throws. we don't have to force throws and should play safe and win the turnover battle.

 

[Yobwocs]

Sack him or hit him in the arm while he's trying to buy time. Nobody has to work as hard as Allen does to buy time. That is exactly the moments that you're going to create the 2 or 3 game changing plays.

Again, 3rd and long is the real chessmatch. Let's see how many of those downs Allen is gonna win.

Their pass rush is not elite imo. They got the majority of their sacks against the Jags, Jets, and Commanders. Didn't look like they got a lot on Hurts. And on Mahomes.... there was that final drive, but obviously those plays don't even happen if Toney doesn't line up offsides.

I think this game is gonna be decided more by Dan Quinn than Dak Prescott, imo. I can see the rain being a challenge so our offense might be a little more off than usual. Im predicting more of like a Panthers game. But I'll take that kinda game anyday. The weather is nice it being not that cold and all.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Allen running around extending plays is what probably concerns Dallas the most. You've got to get him to the ground if you get hands on him, otherwise he's going to kill you. They also have a good RB who is a threat in the passing game.

I think they are way better than Seattle. This game has been in my L column all year. Now that Buffalo is a desperate team I think it is even tougher. Going in there and getting a hard fought win will be a huge statement for the Cowboys. I won’t hold a L against them though. This stretch was always going to be rough. Couple that with the Eagles JV schedule I think it will be hard to win the division.

 

[Montanalo]

On offense, this is a game that Ferguson and Cooks should thrive in the middle of the field.

 

[Cowboyny]

Interior looks very suspect, but Allen's mobility scares me. TE's/Backs are more worrisome then Davis.

 

[dfense]

You can run on this team. Bills run defense is soft. Their safeties are much better in coverage than run support. Keep Allen in the pocket and his impact is limited.

In Josh's presser yesterday he referenced #11 and complimented the Dline, but no names came to mind. Hopefully Dlaw takes issue with that.

Stefon Diggs is going to want the ball against his brother's team. He's start to pout if he doesn't get it.

Think their front is actually better then the Eagles, also have a better DC.

Allen's mobility scares me the most, not only extending plays, but running to move the sticks.

 

[AsthmaField]

and Torrence has been pretty bad.

You need to make sure to say that loud because so many people in here have been complaining Dallas didn’t draft him.

Torrence never fit what Dallas wants out of an OL. Terrible feet.

Agree with everything you said, but let's see if this truly is a different Cowboy team. Win in Buffalo against a team who is desperate, will go along way to facing any team on the road moving forward.

 

[nightrain]

Josh Allen is a turnover machine. The Cowboys should take the ball if they win the toss and look to get the bills behind early. Force the Bills to become one dimensional and let that pass rush take the game over.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Torrence never fit what Dallas wants out of an OL. Terrible feet.

Yes, he is pretty much a RG only and can be taken advantage of by most 3T's. He has given up 33 pressure this year

 

[Flamma]

We have to pump the breaks on the Cowboys until we play out these next two weeks. The Bills are very beatable. Put pressure on Allen and he's a turnover machine. Lost to the Jets and should have lost to the Giants. Two teams the Cowboys flushed down the toilet.

If the Dolphins were playing in Dallas, end game. But we're playing away on a grass field. That worries me. But by no means do I think the Cowboys can't beat that team. These next two weeks will tell us a lot about the Cowboys.

 

[G2]

I'm cautious because Buffalo is still a good team and can play well at home. We need one of our typical fast starts.
