Teams just don't win a Super Bowl solely carried by an elite defense anymore. You need an elite offense supplemented with a great pass rush. The losses we've had on defense the past 2 weeks are a very big deal. But we still have the pieces in place on the defensive line and on offense to win games in January and February.
But yeah it would be nice to get the 1 seed for once and those chances took a huge blow in the first month of the season.
Milano is a superstar at a non premium position. It'll be a big loss but it's manageable to get by if our defensive line gets healthy
Beane needs to find some replacements though
Post-game thoughts
Elam had some good moments but the Jags picked on him especially in big moments. He's going to play a lot even when Benford is back so he needs to figure it out
Allen missed on two deep throws but otherwise I thought he was really good despite a mediocre offensive line performance and a horrible gamelan
I'm not as down on Dorsey as others most weeks but he was a disaster today
Too many defensive injuries to expect them to have finished the game strong
Espensa was great
Actually credit for them not overdoing it with Von despite all the injuries. But he was a non factor
Kincaid does something dumb every game. I see the potential but man he's gotta clean it up
Knox might not be good
Davis had a bad drop but he's good
Win or lose today, I just don't see us playing in February if Milano misses a lot of time
I honestly thought Poona was going to be a stud run stuffer. Being a healthy scratch was disappointing. Benford has just been average to me. Fine but not at the level needed for a CB2 with the offenses we have to go through to win a Super Bowl. Good test for him on Sunday
3 is a good line. I think the sharps will let the public get it down to -1 or -2 and then hammer the Bills back up to -3 or even-3.5 by kickoff.
The Dolphins are legit. And their speed worries me. But keep them in front of you and get it done defensively in the red zone. Their defense has some big names but they don't scare me
Our secondary has looked old and slow lately. Thats concerning against Miami. But at the end of the day I trust Josh Allen more over the course of an entire season.
Could very well be true. Don't say it in the media room before/during/after daily interviews.
Diggs is a star and there is drama surrounding him like a lot of WRs. You have to walk on eggshells. Our media didn't
