The Big Cat

I'm the only one saying these things? That's rich. News to me that I think the defense is good enough, though. That's even richer.

Watching TT try to keep pace with BB, AB and LB next week will be a special thing.

All you guys saying we need to cut TT after this year, answer me this: who in gods name will take over this passing offense which has been worst in the league through 28 games? Huh? Nuff said.

You might be the last human on Earth that believes this offense would be fine without Shady. At least you have *that* going for you.

shut it down. last one out kill the lights.

as is often the case with your meandering tirades, we've now careened into the fantastical and downright nonsensical portion of whatever it is you were trying to say. 10 quarter ground assault to finish 2015? i guess you're including MG's blistering 28 yards on 24 carries in week 17, then? stick to the truth, it makes keeping your story straight much easier. this moving target **** is getting old.

the defense has no equivalent of Shady, who you conveniently left out of your list of positions they've fared well without

Where is the light switch!? Is the coffee done yet? How come the paper never gets delivered on time? Do people still think the moon exists?

Man, if only there was some place that I was on record in the last 30 minutes as saying our safeties have been an abject failure for 25+ games. That would be a tough thing to dig up, wouldn't it?

it's been routinely misinterpreted thusly. apologies for making you the target of 14+ months of frustration with a select few posters who keep making this "mistake.

Run 10 plays in four consecutive drives and lose to a top 10 offense. Sounds a lot less confusing when you phrase it thusly, huh?

Has been for the better part of two seasons.

That's what I thought. May be you should start another thread about how bad of a signing Shady was. And, btw, the offense scores points. Then goes three and out for 3-5 consecutive drives. This is virtually unprecedented. I guarntee you. And it's the latter that has more impact on outcomes. I've been saying for more than a year now and i twas more than apparent today. Anyone resistent to this truth is: Stupid Has their own bias

Defending the defense? No. If that was your takeaway then it's you who needs to re-read. Saying what is patently obvious: that the offense's inability to do LITERALLY ANYTHING lost us the game is NOT an excuse for the defense. It's not a defense of the defense. It's not an alibi for Rex Ryan. Take all your biases and check them. And listen to what people are actually saying. Which point?

wrong how? what have i said about the defense that's been wrong? this is a lame attempt at moving the discussion.

where's the 'like' button? seriously: !@#$ the chiefs. all they same to do is stack enough meaningless regular season wins to keep the bilsl out of it so they can get their clocks cleaned in the first round of the playoffs. !@#$ the chiefs

Right. I'm the problem. I've been saying the same thing for over a year now. Please. If you want to counter it, please go through the game logs and find me any team in the league that strings together drives of 3 or fewer plays as consistently as the TT led Bills and prove that they win in spite of it. Or don't and blame "coaching." Which has been the excuse for 10+ years even though the same coaches leave and experience more success with...get this...better players. Oh sweet jesus. Peyton manning on one leg, wearing an eye patch and having to spin around four times every time the ball is hiked is twice the quarterback TT will ever be, and anyone arguing otherwise is lying to themselves. Right, they never had a chance. So the team's best bet was to keep the ball out of Carr's hands. Instead, the offense did the opposite.

Stringing together four consecutive drives in which you don't gain a first, with one of them terminating inside your own 15. Do you honestly believe that none of this takes its toll on the defense? This is a yes or no question. Answer accordingly or don't answer at all.

putting the "unanswered" in "29 answered points"

The defense sucked today because our safeties are entirely bereft of talent with AW gone, as has been the case since last year AND because they offense kept putting them back on the field against a very good offense.

The offense did nothing-- why? The defense did nothing-- why?

You're just going to dismiss that the offense ran a total of <5 min of TOP over 5 drives against what everyone knew was a great offense who was playing at home? The offense did...NOTHING...for a full quarter. A quarter. An entire &#33;@#&#036;ing quarter of the game.

3 and out 3 and out 3 and out 1 and out But it's the defense's fault. Pete &#33;@#&#036;ing Carrol had a QB who made/makes plays when asked to do so. The comparisons end at the most important position, and you damn well know it.

3 and out 3 and out 3 and out 1 and out (INT to set them up inside the 15) But no. It's "Rex's defense." Get over your vendetta's and get a clue.

FRANCHISE!? Jesus &#33;@#&#036;ing christ. I'm so beyond "franchise" or "elite" or any other meaningless terminology at this point. I want a COMPETENT QB.
