Atlanta Falcons vs. Buffalo Bills: Behind Enemy Lines with Adam James

Question #3. We just alluded to Buffalo’s biggest strength in their run game, but what is their biggest weakness in your opinion? How can Atlanta exploit that deficiency in Sunday’s game?

AJ: The biggest weakness, despite Tyrod Taylor’s efficient play, has got to be the passing game. With the losses of Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, and Marquise Goodwin, the passing game lacks any vertical threat whatsoever.

Charles Clay seems to be the only target Tyrod trusts, but the Falcons have far too much team speed on defense to let Clay beat them.

Through the first three games, Atlanta’s defense has allowed just 16 catches to tight ends on 32 total targets. If they can maintain that type of coverage, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tyrod eat a few sacks.

MK: Tyrod Taylor is a quality NFL quarterback and doesn’t get enough credit for that. However, he and the Bills’ offense are not well-equipped to play from behind.

The Falcons, on the other hand, thrive on starting fast and putting their opponent behind the eight ball. Therefore, this matchup plays right into Atlanta’s hands if they execute on that game plan.
