Captain Hindsight Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We havent trailed at any time during a game and we stopped the run. We also have 9 sacks. I like our new defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 To be fair... Chiefs and Browns. Real test will come with the next few weeks. Sure we can beat up on crappy teams, but I want to see us beat a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we can beat up on crappy teams, but I want to see us beat a good team. How crappy are the Chiefs and Browns though? The Chiefs just beat the Saints and the Browns should have beaten the Eagles and hung tough with the Bengals. But you're right. Those were pop quizzes and now it's time for the finals.

Fan in Chicago Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We havent trailed at any time during a game and we stopped the run. We also have 9 sacks. I like our new defense The sheer improvement of our run D is a bit overlooked fact. No matter which way we slice it, our overall D is middle of the pack which is great for so many new players/new positions and new DC. We can only get better. Ofcourse, a huge test looms for our pass D this coming weekend especially for the LBers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 To be fair... Chiefs and Browns. Real test will come with the next few weeks. Sure we can beat up on crappy teams, but I want to see us beat a good team. To be fair, not sure I would call either the Chiefs or Browns crappy. Medicore, yes? But crappy, no? Both of these teams have 6-7 win potential. The Chiefs beat the Saints; and the Browns should have beaten the Eagles. But I hear you-- the Pats and Niners will pose some serious challenges.

I like our new defense Completely disagree. Mario is a bust and has zero impact on this season. I don't care if we were one of the worst pass rushing teams last year and are now in the top 5. He sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I think the biggest transformation is the stout run defense. Now it's just a matter of time for the young CBs to get their sea legs back and the future is bright, because Bills should have 3rd & longs on many occasions.

Jamal Charles and Trent Richardson are no slouch running backs either Saints are 0-3 and a giant mess, I'm not sure if we should be using that as a measuring stick this year (crazy season). Listen, I think they did well against the Chiefs and Browns, but neither team is likely heading to the playoffs. Sorry if I'm a bit hesitant to celebrate our vaunted D after getting destroyed by the Jets. I want to see us stop some strong teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably the same people who think a good college team could beat a bad NFL team. Every week in the NFL is hard. How many suicide pools got wrecked with the 49ers this week and the Pats* last week? There are no Savannah States on the NFL schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I just posted the Putz passing and rushing ypg stats pass defense ranking #19 Buffalo 248.3 ypg #21 Putz 262.0 ypg the Putz have only allowed 82 rushing ypg where as the Bills have allowed 100 rushing ypg. KC now has the lead in the NFL rushing the ball. http://espn.go.com/n...osition/defense http://espn.go.com/n...osition/defense Edited September 24, 2012 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsoldier54 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Completely disagree. Mario is a bust and has zero impact on this season. I don't care if we were one of the worst pass rushing teams last year and are now in the top 5. He sucks. I believe you are watching a different game than the rest of us. The opponents O-Line has to account for Mario on every play and that allows everyone else on the D-LIne to have one on one opportunities. He did also have a sack yesterday and lots of QB pressures. That is something that was missing last year. Just can't see how you could watch the games and make that statement. He was a great addition to this defense.

Ofcourse, a huge test looms for our pass D this coming weekend especially for the LBers. I agree completely. The focus coming into the season was clearly our "upgraded" pass-rush but the real improvement has been to the run defense. I'm just hoping taht Gilmore and Williams mature sooner rather than later b/c they're being exposed at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they are crappy because they lost to us, I'm saying they are generally crappy so far. I don't see why that's such a crazy notion. Frequently, a team's record does not reflect the difficulty of the game. Had Browns played Eagles this week, they likely would have won. Eagles lucked out to play against two key rookies in their opening game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that they will have to play better next week against NE than they did yesterday or they will get their rear ends handed to them. NE is just a better team than Cleveland.

Darues and Williams are off to monster starts and Mario is a huge reason why. However, most fans get blinded by sack numbers. Mario has had a huge impact for us.

However, most fans get blinded by sack numbers. Mario has had a huge impact for us. The first game, I wasn't very happy with Mario. But the last two games, I've been very pleased with the D-Line overall. Hopefully we can continue to build on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys, the Browns freaking suck. Give me a break. I really don't think it's fair to dismiss the win b/c the browns "suck". Parity in the NFL this year is insane - I don't need to point out the number of upsets so far this season. This was a road game, in bad weather, where the bills lost their best offensive player and we never gave up the lead and were able to put the game away in the 4th. Great win.

Stealth Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 New NFL Rule that only applies to the Bills if the team they're playing is deemed to "Suck" by either Fans of the Bills or other NFL fans, then in the event the Bills win it will no longer count in standings due to the "suck" factor.

Gugny Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Our rushing D sucks. Sure, they stopped Richardson okay, but Ogbannaya averaged 6 yards/carry. We're not going to beat a good team letting someone run all over us like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was a huge gut check and they played a very solid all-around game. Doesn't change the fact that the Browns suck. In other words, the Bills can play a good game and beat the Browns AND the Browns can suck. I saw people on the first page of the thread saying that they could be a 6-7 win team. Maybe in the XFL.
