FireChan Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 How do you know that the Defense is Bad, The first two preseason games they were great, The Redskins are a physical running team which we struggled against but there was no game plan, and last night was a non event as few starters played. Again the plan for the team is not a year plan. I don't think that the Defense is as bad as it looked in the last two games. I think the offense can be good with EJ at the helm. The defense is bad because last year they were the worst ever. They have 80% of the same players. They have a new, unproven DC that could be a genius or an idiot. If I had to make a prediction, it wouldn't be a top 10 D this year. No matter how bad Wannstedt was, we shouldn't have been that bad last year.

biglukes Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Not true.. I based my prediction Leinart and Butler would be cut based off of last night. And I may be right! Haha touché. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I am not ready to say this just yet....... We in fact do have a QB that can make them pay if they stack the box against Spiller........so much speed on this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsrcursed Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Manuel seemed to have a pretty good grasp on how to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonbrigade Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I have no sympathy for the defense. If they want a rest... stop the other team! Amen, all it takes is to make a play and your off the field, If the offense goes three out, do the same on defense, quit crying. The defense is bad because last year they were the worst ever. They have 80% of the same players. They have a new, unproven DC that could be a genius or an idiot. If I had to make a prediction, it wouldn't be a top 10 D this year. No matter how bad Wannstedt was, we shouldn't have been that bad last year. Unproven DC, are you serious, I guess you haven't watched the Jets defense or Baltimore.

Jeez every topic some guy comes in here and says, "well you don't know that for sure!!!!!" C'mon now. No problem with predictions. Just saying if your basis is preseason you're looking at a coin toss. New o style was a likely a big help towards the first two wins. If your prediction is based on risk assessment you are then discounting the potential upside. If they can manage to move the chains it could be exhausting to defend and produce favorable mismatches. If they can point up points early and force the opposition into passing, the attacking defense will be right where they want to be. If you are just establishing a thread you can pull up after they lose a game and lagged on T.O.P., well then enjoy that- Sorry if I called out your set up!

Besides, Luck only played one series. You don't think our 4 failed drives would've ended in scores for Luck when they got the ball back? Really? I'm saying that the potential upside won't be worth the actual downside. I don't trust the Bills to move the chains. Ever. Especially with a rookie QB under center. And yeah, I'm gonna pull this up for sure. Because its a warranted concern. Especially with our soft D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 IF they perform like they did vs the skins YES it will, IF they perform like they did in the first 2 games it wont. We'll have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 They run the hurry up offense in order to dictate the flow of the game. Defenses can't sub. Defensive playcall are usually more vanilla when playing vs the hurry up. Will our offense be able to move the chains? We"ll soon find out, but I like the idea of pressuring the defense and keeping them on their heels. If this is the offense we want to run, run it. Don't waver. It may take time to gel, but we won't gel until we get more and more reps. I love the idea of it. Aggressive coaching. Something we haven't had in a LONG time.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 No huddle against the Patriots= blowout.(In favor of the Patriots obviously.) Why do you say that, whats the difference, I say peddle to the metal and let the chips fall. The canonical thinking is that the best way to avoid a blowout at the hands of Tom Brady, is to play ball-control offense and keep the ball out of his hands. The Giants used this against us with great success in a Superbowl or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 As long as the Defense creates turnover's and the Offense doesn't. That's what has killed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
