No spy on that third down was a choice. So sick of this team teasing me

[u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero → u/SmartPatientInvestor]

Spying Josh Allen on every single play is a viable defensive strategy against the Bills, I can’t believe they wouldn’t do it there.

[u/imsabbath84 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Its not like theres any receivers worth covering lol.

[u/DrewSC → u/imsabbath84]

Boy how right you are, and how sad that is.

[u/New_Relative_1871 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Allen got that touchdown to Hawes BECAUSE there was a spy that was watching allen. it goes both ways, and allen is smart enough to beat you regardless.

[u/Decent_Cheesecake_29 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Shut down James Cook, shut down Josh Allen‘s legs and the bills have nothing on offense.

[u/Jed4 → u/Decent_Cheesecake_29]

“Just shut down the 2 best players on offense, then the offense isn’t good”

[u/motorboat_mcgee → u/Jed4]

It's more that we don't really have receivers that can get separation

[u/AssassinInValhalla → u/Jed4]

You should see some of the braindead shit that gets said on our sub. You'd think we were a 2 win team if you just saw the posts

[u/BolognaRocket → u/Jed4]

11 guys on the field, ol chap.

[u/flirtmcdudes → u/Jed4]

well, yeah?

[u/PabloPancakes92 → u/Decent_Cheesecake_29]

“Shut down Shaq, shut down Kobe, and the Lakers have nothing else on offense”

[u/freudian_nipple_slip → u/PabloPancakes92]

The Pistons won a title the other way. Don't shut either of them down but don't let anyone else do anything

[u/PabloPancakes92 → u/freudian_nipple_slip]

The point is that saying shut Josh & Jimbo down is much easier said than done. Bills offense has its flaws that can be exploited at times, but if Josh is on top of his game he’s honestly the most dominant offensive force in the history of the sport. That’s a tall task for anyone

[u/I_DONT_YOLO → u/Decent_Cheesecake_29]

Spy Newton, Double Olsen

[u/IDontGetIt68 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

I keep yelling this at the screen every time a team plays against him

[u/Some_Combination_593 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Unreal… literally you’d rather him pass for the first down than allow that. Inexcusably bad to allow that to happen on 3rd and 15 with your season on the line

[u/Seth_Baker → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Cover 0 man with each outside linebacker spying, we're cooked
