What sucks is that despite investing on the DL instead, the defense is only marginally better than Cincinnati’s. Luckily for Beane and McDermott, they have a big eraser in Josh Allen.
My personal take on this is that they consistently come out playing conservatively on defense. Soft zones. 4 man rushes. Stop the run. Then when they struggle they turn up the aggressiveness and generally get better results. But I could be completely off.
