Would any team be interested in swapping their entire defense?

It's mind boggling. I mean, Atlanta's defense was well known to be one of the highest blitzing defenses this year so far. It's not like they couldn't have seen it coming from a long way away. How did they not have a whole set of plays ready to go just for the blitz? And it's not like they didn't...the TD to Davis was a perfect call for a blitz, and it worked perfectly. Where were these plays the rest of the game??

Just hard to believe that, in this year where there is no clear Super Bowl favorite, we can't get our ***** together.

Ah yes, you're right! The shading made me miss where the bottom part of the stands were, so for some reason it made me think I was looking at the opposite side of the stands. Thanks!

Interesting. It looks like you're facing the north end of the stadium, but the shadows appear to be cast down and toward the west. I would think at that time of day in August the shadows would be cast more vertically, or if anything toward the east. Shows how little I know.

About what date and time of day did you take that? I'm curious about the shading in the part of the stadium where you're standing, which is close to where my seats will be.

Absolutely A+ post here, excellent work!

I'm more bummed about the offensive strategy once we had first down at the Pats 30 yard line with about 3-4 minutes left.

Josh Allen played in a tie game? Someone remind me...

"Get the hell out of here before they put us on the Jumbotron!"

The Chiefs were 2-3 a couple years ago and then made it to the AFC Championship Game. Why people are writing them off already is beyond me. They will not lose to the Raiders and Commanders, and may very possibly beat the Lions. This thread will look silly when they come into Buffalo at 5-3.

I see all the money people paid for something they already don't want to wear anymore.

Even better, watch #23 for the Chiefs…storms in and looks like he’s about to take down Lawrence, then gets taken out by his teammate at the last instant.

Who here had Bills-Colts-Jags atop the AFC after Week 5? Weird season.

So man coverage is killing us because they can’t get open? I’m confused.

Same...didn't have a chance to check and see who was active for the game and never knew Jackson was even in the game. One of the ***** things about those uniforms is that it's hard sometimes to see the player number. I think the TV guys even commented on that at the beginning of the game.

Yeah but it's more fun when you try to find meaning in the randomness. I mean, these were three of the most horrendous regular season games the last three years. There must be something to it!

Having dogs is the best. Losing them is the worst.

We'll just go ahead and list you as "Limited". I'm gonna guess that's a label that has followed you around for some time.

What about the Texans game?

This is essentially what the Bills D is doing to other teams too, though, is that correct? It seems like the idea is to force teams into long drives with many short plays and multiple 3rd down conversions, hoping to force teams to punt, kick a FG, or turn the ball over. I guess other teams are doing that to us, too. Is the difference that we are so effective running the ball, not turning the ball over, and having a high red zone TD percentage? That's 4 receivers out against 6 DBs. Coleman has separation but other than that, it's not a great percentage play. But then again, it was 3rd and long, wasn't it?

I really think that if our defense can hold them to FGs instead of TDs, we win it going away. (Though, honestly, that pretty much applies any week.)

I'm not thrilled with the defense either, but I do think that if we were even just a little bit better at 3rd down defense and red zone defense we'd be a lot happier with it.
