Ravens Vs. Bills Q&A With BuffaLowDown Experts
4. What is the Bills biggest strength? What is the Bills biggest weakness and how should the Ravens exploit it.
The Bills biggest strength is their running attack which finished first in the league last year in yards, touchdowns and yards per carry. You could say offensive coordinator Greg Roman and his creative schemes are their biggest strength but that wouldn’t give proper respect to the talent in the Bills backfield. LeSean McCoy remains as dynamic of a threat as ever in both the rushing and passing games. The Bills will run more than just about any other team in the league primarily with McCoy at the helm. Reggie Bush, Mike Gillislee and rookie Jonathan Williams will get plenty of touches as well to keep the backs fresh. Greg Roman does a great job of utilizing each of his running backs strengths when their numbers are called.
The Bills biggest weakness is their lack of discipline and inability to control emotions. The Ravens should be physical, they should talk trash, they should get underneath every single Bills players skin as best as they can. The Bills proved they can get too jacked up for games when they came out completely flat against the Patriots last season. The team even admitted it was a problem.
Additionally, the Bills aggressiveness and lack of discipline tends to get them flagged for many penalties including the ones that are pure mental mistakes like false starts and unsportsmanlike conduct calls. If the Ravens can frustrate the Bills early and get under their skin, the Bills could be in for a long day of beating themselves with stupid mistakes. The right side of Buffalo’s offensive line is also shaky and a concern for the team.
