Jetman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 In 1981, the Baltimore Colts set the NFL record for allowing 533 points in a 16 game season, an average of 33.3 points per game allowed. The 1966 NY Giants allowed 430 points in a 14 game schedule, averaging 35.8 points per game allowed. Through 7 games, the Bills have allowed 227 points, averaging 32.43 points per game allowed. Projecting this over 16 games, this comes out to 519 points allowed for the season. In short, this means that this years team could have one of the worst defenses IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL. Ouch.

billsfan714 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 After the Texans and the Patriots, I think we can get back ahead of that 35.8 points per game pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very likely we'll be giving up iver 35 to both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The bills defense is approaching historic levels of sucking. What did Chan say in his post game press conf again?? "have you reconsidered your defensive game planning or coaching??" and his answer was "no". That speaks volumes to me. Unwilling to admit a glaring weakness in our team.

RyanC883 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think you have a point. It seems very likely we'll be giving up iver 35 to both teams. More than 35. I think the Texans put up over 40 on us. Well, some of the points will come from a pic-6 most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The highest score ever was 73 points by the Bears in 1940. If the Texans scored that, would Wanny get fired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 There's got to be a way to negatively monetize this, too. Because while it isn't the most expensive defense in history, it has to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewildrabbit Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My only question, WTF is it going to take? The man has already shown unbelievable ineptitude in doing his job. Juan Castillo of the Eagles was fired for a 15th ranked defense, and as an ex O line coach while not having any DC experience has shown more ability then Wannstooge. I suppose being a friend of the HC has its merits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Unless Nix or Ralph throws down, the plan is to play out the year with this crew of coaches. Maybe several more blow outs may change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Moorman's punting average is slightly lower than his career average, so Gailey cuts him. Wannaclue's defense is putting up historically horrible numbers, and Chan says, 'nothing to see here.' And if Johnson had 30 carries instead of just 18 today, the Titans would have laid another 50 spot on the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggieScooby Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 We are so bad against the run its not even funny. If people are playing hurt get em off the field, if not hurt cut em! They are a crap run defense. I could live with 400 yards passing if they prevented teams from running but we aren't. If Wanny wants to impress me he will devise a gameplan to neutralize Foster & the rest of the Texans run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 We might give up 60 to the Texans . Foster might go for 250. We might give up 400 to in the passing game. I might need some 420 to even watch. So I can laugh at it.Seriously . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have to say I am taken aback at how bad they are. The backers are nothing special but they made some good plays yesterday. It's that the DL cannot stop the run that is just so alarming. I have to feel like this is Wannstedt's fault. These guys could all be good players. I'm stupefied. Wannstedt obviously had some success in the past but he appears to be behind the curve in today's NFL. Other teams have found the holes and they consistently exploit them.

Literally our defense is incapable of doing anything right now except giving up massive amounts of yards and points in all aspects of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What confuses me is why Wannestadt went back to the same defense played against the 49ers, Pats* and Jests. I realize Arizona's line isn't very good, but in that game, Wannestadt had DL standing up, moving around. Mario Williams switched sides a couple times. There were blitzes. Fast forward to the Titans game, and its the same old 4 down lineman. Bringing absolutely no pressure. Whats more frustrating, is where the hell is Marcell? Wasn't he suppose to be a monster in the run game? And I'm pretty sure Kyle Williams is no slouch in run support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Gailly says there is no consideration to coaching change on the D WOW Based on the fact that on the last touchdown pass that Stuper Mario was on the field (the worst passrusher on the line) the coach should be fired. That was the time to show the rest of the team you were serious about winning. The best way to make a team hungry is to bench the $$$$$ and give snaps to the hardest workers.
