Perspective on the Bills from Eagles fan site.
Nihilarian replied to BigAl2526's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't see the Eagles dominating the Buffalo offense like they did against the Chiefs. I mean in the 3rd quarter of that SB the Eagles were up 34-6...Philly then allowed some garbage yards so it didn't look as lopsided as it was ending in a 22-40 beatdown. However, the Buffalo defense was dealing with injuries while starting a rookie safety and the Chiefs torched Kaiir Elam so badly that the Bills ended up dumping him to Dallas. This game was at Arrowhead and was 29-32. A lot of Bills fans want to point at the TE for this loss and they shouldn't as it was mostly the Buffalo defense to blame. Last years Bills team led the NFL in turnover ratio all season with a +24 only to get only one turnover by the Chiefs. Buffalo had 4 fumbles and recovered all of them. When you look at what the Eagles were able to do on defense compared to what Buffalo did with 2 sacks, 7 QB hits vs unreal pressure on Mahomes all game long with 11 QB hits and 6 sacks. The refs in that Bills/KC game didn't help either by calling two different plays short...and one that looked like it was right on the line and yet the refs called it a full yard short. Tough to beat the Chiefs and the Refs. https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/sports/what-went-wrong-for-bills-on-controversial-play-that-changed-everything/ Buffalo starting cornerback Christian Benford suffered a concussion late in the first quarter and did not return. McDermott noted that losing Benford, who was in concussion protocol this week and cleared to play, affected the defense. Despite the defensive issues in the first half, the Bills stayed in the game. But it wasn't enough. The Buffalo Bills made a lot of good moves this offseason so lets hope it gets them to the SB this year! GO BILLS! -
Nonsense. Those aren't ordinary catches. They're damn good. Incredibly spectacular? No. But damn good catches, for TEs or anyone else. You're right about going down easily last year. But you don't see that when you go back and look at his rookie year. When healthy he was bouncing off guys and running through arm tackles, and doing it an awful lot.

I’m concerned with our busted druggies. Not alllwed back til after the Bye, how are we gonna treat this? I consider Ogunjobi a washout, having only signed a 1 year deal. Hoeght, on the other hand, is a very good player and inked to a 3 year deal. But with all the other additions to the Dline whom we need to step right in and perform, where will we be at that time? Our rookie Dline players have HUGE potential at both DE & DT. If Bosa & Groot come through -meaning contributing significantly to wins through the 1st 6 weeks, who gets dumped then and why? I can’t/wont hope for an injury that would open a role, but if TJ Sanders, Solomon, Epenesa, Dwayne Carter & Landon Jackson show out early -and many of us hope/expect this, who goes to open spots. Granted, a ‘wonderful problem’ we’ve never concerned about in the past, but this year is definitely different!

Because we were often out of players on D come the playoffs, hence brining guys like AJ Klein back from vacation to suit up again. We needed better depth when we got to the playoffs and the injuries piled up.

It's a variety of factors. Scheme, personnel philosophy and talent. The smallish defense is neutralized in the playoffs because the whistles dont blow the same way, the defensive scheme is more reactive and not dictating the game, and the pass rush is many times ineffectual from the front 4. And here is the thing they are a few plays away but part of being the better team is to not have such slim margins and those most important plays are being lost on both sides of the ball, but the offense typically makes plays (minus Cincinnati) but the D is lacking the big plays to change the outcomes in those losses. So we are trying to beat the best QBs in the big moments without enough pressure on the QB. Easier said than done but small agile players arent undeniable when the refs arent giving them the calls for being held. What the Eagles, Bucs (v Mahomes)and Giants (v Brady) have done in the past several years with the DL is have size and ability to bring it with 4. -
Again, our D looks good in the regular season for the most part but can't make the big play against KC when it counts. This should not be a controversial take. Josh Allen can't play D too.

We’ve never had the horses on the DL. The last SB caliber DL in Buffalo was in 2014.

Good point. Just as important is no injuries. Although lately the starters play very little in these games. I doubt Allen plays in the first one. Maybe a series or two in the other games. -
As co-Super Bowl favorites, I would argue it hasn’t been as shabby as some people will lead you to believe.
-
Not for a lack of drafting D in prior years though. That calls into question our regime's ability to recognize talent

I don't know about you but it's really surprising to me that the same entrenched bureaucracy that was able to fabricate evidence and present it to a secret court in order to get permission to spy on a presidential campaign and administration might also be able to disappear evidence that it doesn't want out there. I can't believe the Epstein word doc wasn't left sitting front and center on Kash Patel's computer after he was sworn in.

I care plenty about our preseason games. How else do we find out about the next training camp breakout stud we all get upset over when he's cut? -

There was a reason we drafted almost all defense and brought in defensive FA’s, we didn’t have the horses with sufficient depth in the past.

The modern democrat sucks. Bigly.

Last years defense wasn’t close to statistically dominant.

Yeah the SB was the perfect storm. The Eagles front played the game of their lives and Mahomes/Reid got completely flustered. It’s not really dissimilar to the Bills performance vs the Bengals in the playoffs. Just one of those days where nothing goes right. -
I've said it here before. I'd rather see a less statistically dominant defense like we had last year than one that can make a big stop in a big moment. Please please please let one of the 193 DL that we drafted be a keeper
