McD running to the phone. Defense!!!

Wow. He will have his pick of teams.

This is my exactly my thoughts. We could do a lot worse than Beane. However, i’d be lying if I said I wish he was able to draft a couple more true impact players. Lots of “good”. Only 1 “great”. In 44 attempts.

So true. Another thing is I just wish he would step into those throws more often. When he steps into a throw, there is zero chance a CB is getting to it. It’s those flat footed throws that are close.

Yep.

Notice how the Eagles are playing press man? That is how you beat the Chiefs and Bengals. Love it.

Wait until the Eagles start running play-action off of that brotherly shove 😂

One awesome thing is that these teams are beating the piss out of each other. Hopefully the Eagles are still feeling it next week.

This Eagles defense is playing tough.

That push is just unstoppable. I genuinely think teams should just not play defense when Philly gets to the 1 yard line. Save the risk of injury.

Yeah the Jets issue is obviously that awful offense.

That’s actually what the PFF metric aims to do. And it has the Jets #1. Which matches my eye test.

It’s a common mistake. Using points per game as the sole determination for who has the best defense has several faults. 1) Lack of Context: This metric doesn't account for the quality of the offenses faced. A defense might have low points allowed because they played weaker offenses, not necessarily because they are a strong defense. 2) The Offense: A defense will allow more points in games if their offense can’t sustain drives, which increases the time the defense is on the field. 3) Turnovers: If a team has a terrible offense (like the Jets), and turns the ball over a lot in their own territory, that sets the defense up to defend fields where the opponents offense is already in scoring range. What does that result in? More points allowed.

If we win the next two, you'll need an industrial size lead anvil to bring us down from the clouds!

I am giddy!

I think you’re arguing apples and oranges here. Simon’s point is that McD went to the blitz well one too many times. There was no more element of surprise. Wilson, being a veteran QB, knew it was coming and had a plan for it, because we had just done it several times in a row. Thats not the same thing as fans being critical of Frazier for dropping back and guarding the sticks, which is what he did in nearly every game-winning drive scenario. What many fans wanted out of Frazier is tighter coverage (instead of playing 10 yards off) and a blitz every now and then. Not a blitz every down to end the game.

In not impressed with the defense. They played well but I expected them to play well against that terrible Jets offense. What I am impressed with is the Bills offense. To put 32 points up against that Jets defense is unbelievable.

If this happens then I think McD needs to answer some tough questions about why he didn’t make a change sooner. That type of run against the gauntlet of teams upcoming would be a clear and direct indictment on Dorsey.

Personally, I think that knee is just toast. The guy is almost 35 and has had 3 ACL tears.

Do we have any reason to believe he’s not fully healthy? Our coaching/training staff is notoriously conservative when bringing guys back from injury.

Chiefs scored less against NYJ. Eagles scored less against NYJ. Cowboys scored less against NYJ. Chargers scores less NYJ. etc I only regret that McDermont didn’t make the change earlier. The entire team seemed reinvigorated. Go Bills!

Von literally just ran almost to the end zone trying to get to the QB. Oofta.
