Thank god the Saints don't have any defense either

We have an all-world QB and an all-world RB

Our offense is incredible to watch. An even competent defense and we are one of the best teams in decades

1st and goals Bills

Then there are bigger problems than we thought with this D.

For sure. There was some terrible tackling on that drive. But the playcalling wasn't great either.

Josh throws a 18 yard square in !!

James Cook man. Those jump cuts are wicked.

Spy Rattler and the NO offense will stop. Allen is looking good.

Josh throwing for 500 yards today while Rattler is going to run for 300.

Cook effortlessly making multiple guys miss on a run-of-the-mill run up the middle.

Offense makes it look so easy. Unfortunately the defense does the same. Same story every year.

Another poster said McD is conservative on first drives because he wants to see how they will respond to the offense. Is this something many HC's do?

That is another play where Cook gets 5 or 6 yards when 90% of the backs in football are stopped for no gain. His ability to stop his feet, keep his balance and change direction is ELITE

Sean McDermott has more top five takeaway defenses than any coach in NFL history over his first 8 seasons When you have Josh Allen take the ball away means more than numbers between the twenties.. and we usually always finish top 10 in scoring defense

You can put it on roster construction, though. Repeatedly targeting undersized players who can't make open-field tackles leads to missed tackles.

Coleman can't separate and he's too slow

The more things change the more they stay the same. It will always be McDermotts defense it's just different guys with the "D" header calling McDermotrs plays during the game.

Perhaps that's why they brought in Ryan Nielson

Keon ripping off chunks

I don't totally agree. If you ask players to constantly play fast to make the penetration play, you're not encouraging them to break down and play solid fundamentals. The scheme here matters.

Imagine if we get into a shootout with the Saints. I'll give the defense the benefit of the doubt and assume they'll tighten up as the game goes on

Well, Saints had a quick answer....Let's go down and match!

yet they have been in the backfield and pressuring most plays for some reason.
