I think Billy Joe hobert also had severe ADHD He seemed adverse to studying Play books

I have "severe" adhd according to the shrink I went to a few years back. I always suspected it. While I loved football and cherished big hits while playing defense, I never was good at studying a playbook, lol.

And it's a lot harder to run down the field for 75 yards than it is to pass it The bills are truly playing a four quarter game.. the run defense in the fourth quarter doesn't look the same as the first quarter typically

Until you run into a team that can control the clock or be explosive in the run game like: Indy, New England, Jacksonville, Baltimore (who if we’re being transparent should have won both the playoff game last and the opener this year. Lucky for the Bills that Harbaugh has brain farts and decides to take the ball out of Henry’s hands and puts it in Lamar’s, who then proceeds to turn the ball over at the worst times). The defense is bad, really bad. They have this year and in years past, needed turnovers to be successful. I can’t remember how many games in a row they won the turnover battle, but they were on a heater. When they don’t get the turnovers like they did last Sunday, they have a really hard time stopping anybody. You can win a Super Bowl with a weakness, you just can’t be terrible at one thing. The run defense is terrible. They’ve always gotten gashed by premier runners (D. Henry, Achane, Jonathan Taylor come to mind for 200+ yard games) but now they’re getting gashed by third stringers.

I guess it does matter since the Bills are 7-3. They are winning way more than they are losing.

Why?

Both Chiefs fans and Ravens fans are rooting for the Bills today lol. Houston is in front of both of them. They also have a tie breaker over the Ravens.

They averaged like 28 points per game in the regular season with rivers They held them to 24 in his final hoorah.. the game he put it all on the line They had a great line , a stud young running back running hard.. couple good tight ends ty Hilton and Michael Pittman Scoring 28 points per game in the regular season is not a bum when Patrick mahomes has scored 22 points per game The last 2 years

Totally agree. Should have Waddle but we need the 2026 1st for some reason more than the 2027. Just ridiculous.

Cmon man it’s 12:04 where’s that gameday? We are 8 years clear of the drought. Our old selves would be sickened by it not being up at 12:01 and we sucked then

I get that. I just don't see a logical reason to get rid of it, personally.

That year we would consistently jump out to 14+ leads, then put offenses in pass only scripts with back up level QB’s and we just steam rolled people. Not exactly what we face when the stakes get higher.

You could say they had a “playoff caliber” offense

Our previous defenses were in the top in "Yardage Allowed" and Turnovers. I don't think we have ever had a strong run defense in McDermott's term.

Philip Rivers is a tremendous quarterback and was doing basically what Daniel Jones was doing right now and look how good they are Patrick mahomes is obviously a beast Philip Rivers is way better than Daniel Jones and look what the colts are doing right now.. they have a really good offense in place Philip Rivers had a great offensive line and a running back with some weapons a better team than he had in 12 years in San Diego no matter what their record says And that was his last hurray Patrick mahomes is Patrick mahomes and can score 30 on any team just like Josh Allen... Gabe Davis looked like Jerry Rice versus the Chiefs secondary We had none of those big time weapons they had.. they had all pros we had stefon diggs who didn't show up big in the playoffs

Every team has injuries in the playoffs. I'll grant you that year, that game, it was worse and we likely win if healthy. What about other years? The excuse game is lame.

You must be the Life of the Party

2021 was he best defense this regime fielded. We allowed over 40 points at home to the Colts, over 250 yards rushing. We allowed 40+ to Chiefs in 13 seconds. This was never going to be some dominant playoff unit. No evidence to suggest that besides beating up on inexperienced QB’s.

I agree. Given the injuries and other issues Brady and McD finally said F’it and gave Josh the green light to go downfield. Throwing to the RB seems to have been installed against the fish and it carried over in this game. Kate they finally also started opening running lanes for Cook and Josh. I hope they utilize this same game plan against a tough Hou defense. Make it impossible for their DC to take anything away. If they stack the box, throw over them. If they cover deep hit them with RB and Josh runs. If they blitz hit the RB out of backfield or Shakir in the space the blitzes vacated. This is the way everyone truly eats.

Good point. I read that Belichick designed the Giants D around the Bills' passing game. To limit YAC they played to keep all passes in front of them. So they were vunerable to our running game.

This is the last thing I'll say on the subject it's not a lame excuse They had four players on the injury report... Patrick mahomes who is 100% playing.. two backups and 1 starter and they played .. any injury that happened 8 weeks ago is irrelevant because they're professionals and adapt.. I never throw von Miller's injury into our injury discussion because we had eight weeks to adapt okay The bills didn't have their best safety.. and lost their best cornerback in the first half But we had 10 players on the injury report going into Arrowhead.. in a game of inches ... Played without two starters ... Six starters and two contributing backups on the injury report with fresh injuries from the last 10 days This is a game of inches and all of that happened and we lost by three... If we were healthy we're beating the Chiefs That doesn't even talk about the injury report two years ago I don't care if you don't believe me I am fully certain that the bills can and will win versus the Chiefs if healthy.. beating them five straight times in the regular season shows we can .. that's not a fluke Everybody says they have a better roster than us yet were barely losing while being hurt more ... Ravens had six all pros last year and we beat them in the playoffs Maybe McDermott's not that bad of a coach

I have been looking for a long time for the stat that tracks every teams relative health historically so we can truly discuss how unfortunate we are. I would guess in the scheme of an entire year, we are actually doing pretty well. While we have had some poorly timed things occur in the postseason, does anybody here really think those past defense, even when healthy, would shut down a legit playoff team? (not the wild card carousel of bums and back ups we have had, but an actual contender). The answer is hell no and if you think that’s a yes you should be required to provide some form of logic to support it.
