saundena Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Our $250MM D line was embarrassing. 1 sack all day long against a bunch of Patriot rookies on the road is simply awful. How in the hell did this happen? We're supposed to be so talented up front, I can't help but think that if we got a little more pressure up front and caused a sack or forced a 3rd down incompletionon one of the many Patriot scoring drives that we would have been at least tied on that last drive. Thtee things that stink: 1. The vaunted Rex Ryan defense. This guy has more talent on D than he's ever had yet we looked completely inept. 2. Our discipline. Way too many costly penalties. 3. Our offensive game plan in the 2nd quarter. Throwing 1 yard passes against the Pats just won't cut it. Not trying to be chicken little because we did lose to a good team but this game was a joke. When it comes down to it, they are better than us in every way possible. Not looking forward to the rematch.

Mikie2times Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Brady has always been the league leader in how fast he gets the ball out. I would argue if the stat was tracked historically he would be in the top 3 all time. It's why the Patriots can just rotate lineman at will. You get a few chances each game at him. We didn't take advantage of those chances outside of the strip sack. Rex did not have a good game plan. We didn't execute on any level defensively outside of stopping the run the few times the Patriots tried it. The defense was confused and not lined up correctly most the game. Pretty much everything sucked, which is how it usually goes when you allow 40 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The D has regressed. That's what I saw. And all the stupid penalties? I'm sure there will be no accountability with Rex. And we all hated St Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 This. Watch the game tape, try to figure out went wrong, and try to improve for the next time. There is no next time. They were pathetic. The reason for penalties is they were beaten. This was like watching Marone, Gailey, and all the other inept coaches wrapped into one.

Utah John Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think Rex's game plan was to rely on the front four to contain Brady, and not to blitz much. When the entire front four vanished, the game plan fell apart. It was a good plan but it relied on great players to play great. They didn't. It was good to see Corey Graham back. I'm praying for Aaron Willians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 1 game, 1 freaking game against one of the best QBs and coaches in NFL history. My god, get a grip people. So there are 14 games to go. But for week two, this was THE game. Kiss the AFC east title goodbye. No way do we win in Foxboro MNF. So 0-2 behind the Pats best you can hope for is a wild card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the coach The defensive genius who did not adjust at all for 4 quarters. Enough of the rock star status-hype for Ryan. Time to coach and STFU.

Doug Flutie Band Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 We didn't blitz a lot. The coaches were relying on the front four to create consistent pressure on their own, and they failed to do anything. No pressure on Brady = no chance.

Blame the coach The defensive genius who did not adjust at all for 4 quarters. Enough of the rock star status-hype for Ryan. Time to coach and STFU. That's the most disturbing thing about this game. This defense was probably THE best in the NFL especially over the last 5-6 games last season leading the league in sacks. But, Rex knows better and blew up their old system for his superior one. Well, I can't remember the last time the defense played this bad!! We're talking historically bad statistically. And, no Brady and company aren't THAT f'ing good. They were rotating three f'ing rookies on their o-line for Christ's sake!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 With all the money spent this season, one has to wonder if the Bills have been built to compete in the modern NFL. Millions on DT's, RB's, trading up for WR's, and signing UFA TE's. It didn't work today against a team they've got to beat...at home no less.

Pneumonic Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 And, no Brady and company aren't THAT f'ing good. They were rotating three f'ing rookies on their o-line for Christ's sake!!! Actually, Brady and company are pretty f'ing good. As for the rookies on the OL ..... not to make an excuse for the Bills DL but it has been reported that Belichick has said that the talent and skill on this years Pats OL is the best he's ever had. Last years Pats OL handled the bills DL without too much incident .... maybe it should have been expected that an even more skilled and talented Pats OL this time around, might fare better?
