No he won a Superbowl with a very opportunistic defence. Including 5 turnovers in the NFC championship game, and a pick 6 to seal the Superbowl against Peyton Manning Their defence was by far the best at creating turnovers. 5 turnovers in the NFC championship game. They gave up yards and points but they consistently forced turnovers the whole year and wouldn't have went to The Superbowl if they didn't create 5 turnovers...

Landry's hit was clean on Aaron Williams?.... I hope that's not what you are referring too lol

Be my guest if you want to dig into those analytics. I am at work and don`t have time nor I don't personally care to dig those up, as I think there are way too any factors involved to get a 100 percent reading. You are more referring to analytics instead of stats. Sometimes simple is more effective

Lol yep. Including his bromance for Jay Cutler

To be honest it only took me 5 minutes to do. You go to nfl.com and team stats, and literally every stat is there for decades. So I just went through total yards and points since 2011. Didn't take long at all I don't plan to spend more time on stats like that haha. There would be way too many factors on the offensive side of the ball to judge everything 100 percent. Including did the offence turn the ball over a lot, did they go 3 and out a lot, did they have long sustained drives, did they have quick scores. Way too many factors in my opinion

I agree 100 percent. I think this year`s draft will be stocking up on d lineman and linebackers. Problem is the Bills have so many holes to fill on the offensive side as well, so they are going to have weak points no matter what they do going into next year

Oh whoops my bad. And thanks for the info! Not saying I'm blaming the coaches completely. But they shouldn't get a free pass either. It is their defence at the end of the day. Generally the head coach has a big say of getting guys to fit his defence. A prime example is Ron Rivera for that. Look at the players him and Gettleman brought in during his tenure. Now it's still early of course, but McDermott and Beane have to fix the front 7 this draft and offseason I think you mean Ron Rivera and Gettleman put together a good defence finding the right pieces. Now it will be McDermott`s and Beane`s turn to try and do the same thing

After the past few weeks, I can't figure out why the Bills defence has taken such a nosedive, as they are maybe the worst defensive team in the NFL right now. So I dug up a few stats before I went to bed last night, because I wanted to see where Sean McDermott's defences have ranked since him taking over in Carolina in 2011. 2011- 27th in points, 28th in yards 2012- 15th in points, 10th in yards 2013- 2nd in points, 2nd in yards 2014- 21st in points, 10th in yards 2015- 6th in points, 6th in yards 2016- 26th in points, 21st in yards 2017 so far- 15th in points, 25th in yards I see 1 positive and 2 negatives here The positive is that McDermott is an experienced defensive coordinator who has proven he can lead a great defence if he has the right pieces to work with. The first negative is the past year and a half, his defences have been below average to even poor. I know last year they had a ton of injuries on Carolina's front but that will lead me to my next point. The second negative is Carolina has had some ridiculous talent on that side of the ball, and had 2 all pro's in Kuechly and Norman, combined with Short, Star Loutelei, Johnson, Davis. The list goes on. When a few of those guys got hurt though including their QB on defence in Kuechly, their defence really started to struggle. Obviously the Bills don't have even near that talent especially in their front 7. Looking at the past stats and this year, the Bills are going to really have to hit on their draft picks to fix this defence, because McDermott has shown with the right pieces he can make it work. But he also has shown if he doesn't have a ton to work with, he isn't going automatically turn them into a descent defence like I for one kind of expected/hoped for, especially after the first 4 weeks. **Please don't make this about Tyrod. We are all well aware the offence sucks and has to drastically improve**

I agree with that. Of course TT doesn't even come close to Brees as Brees is possibly a top 10 QB who's ever played the game. But his original point was that a QB like Brees can steal that game on Sunday if he were on the Bills. And i pointed that even with a lousy defence, a hall of fame QB like Brees can't even get into the playoffs. It takes a team to get into the playoffs, not just a very good quarterback. And the Bills with Tyrod being mediocre, have a lousy team around him as well

Lol that's awesome

Probably never. What does that have to do with anything? My point was even hall of fame QBS can't get into the playoffs with bad defences, Drew Brees has a defence this year and all of a sudden they already have the same amount of wins as last year

SaviorPeterman lol

Its a joke with one of the posters who claims Miami is good. Maybe you missed the joke because you're too busy telling posters to shut up for no reason?

Hahaha, pretty crazy

Lol Jon Gruden just said he hasn't seen a 300 yard rushing game in this league in sometime. Well I guess he forgot to watch the Bills game yesterday lol. Technically it wasn't 300 yards because of 2 kneel downs, but of course it really was 302 hahaha yep, you just beat me to it

Amen

What an audible by Cam

Some people just refuse to admit the team sucks and not just the QB. Yes Tyrod sucked yesterday, I don't think there is much arguing there. But the Saints got 300 yards rushing and did not punt once. But some people believe that's TT's fault as well because the offence couldn't get a few more first downs... If the offence got a few more first downs, maybe the Bills could have held the Saints in check to 250 yards on the ground and maybe 1 punt?... lol. Just mind boggling that the defence is getting somewhat of a pass from some people

Beauty drive

They didn't punt all game. From the opening possession the Bills couldn't stop them

Fair enough. Its more just my hate for the Dolphins lol

I usually don't like blowouts, but I wouldn't mind if Miami got killed tonight lol Really? I think Gruden is a great analyst. And he's hilarious as well

This could be a snoozefest

What are you talking about?..

Agreed, but one thing that has changed drastically as well is the pass rush. In the beginning of the year the Bills were getting lots of pass rush, but the last 5 games or so has been just awful. I believe the worst in the league
