This is the defense we were expecting!

Pats were giving up on 3rd down so Tommy wouldn't get hit? Running when they should pass because they were scared. Tom was screaming obscenities at his OL. This was without 3/4 of our starting DL most of the game.

 

It was a bright spot - Rex has made adjustments. The Bills hung with the Pats in a MNF game at Gillette where the majority of the league gets blown out.

 

Even some of the big passing plays he did make he made from his back. No other QB makes those completions.

Defense did it's job last night.

 

The prevented the Patriots* from delivering the knock out punch after McKelvin's fumble by holding them to a FG, and gave us a chance to tie the game in the final two minutes.

 

We need to see this from them the rest of the way.

Very impressed with the game planning and defensive playcalling, but you can never have a defensive formation where Manny Lawson is in the slot covering Amendola one on one. And perhaps it's hindsight 20/20 but Duke Williams cannot cover as well as Leodis, and probably shouldn't have been in there when Rambo was out a few plays. That was the single play that killed us.

Mentioned this is another thread.

 

Didn't help calling an all out blitz with Duke covering Amendola as a result and not knowing what the !@#$ he was doing.

 

Watch that play again. Duke was completely lost.

 

The guy should be cut.

Duke has been a part time player right, a 2nd string Safety?

 

Not making excuses, I just needed to say this

Yes. And he sucks at that.

and that is why he is a backup.

 

The D played very well so the one or two "blunders" are magnified.

 

20 points the lowest output by the Putz so far this season. Two 27, one 28, four in the 30's and 2 above 40.

With Mario and KW out the last few weeks the d has gotten better. Weird ??

I know. those guys are missing all the fun!

 

can someone please solve the Duke Williams problem. Why hasn't D.Henderson fixed him yet. He sure cannot be left alone to do any coverage work.

A safety who needs safety help! WTF is that?

That's really interesting. I just posted one minute ago in the other thread about players buying into Rex's defense that this was the first game Rex was Rex.

 

 

He did a terrible job of meshing one gap, pass rushing personnel within his system and it cost them games.

 

Blaming it on trying to carryover some of last years defense......... :rolleyes:

Whatever he did for whatever reason at whatever time, it was pretty wrong. ;) Again, this was the first game that he just played his defense that we have been seeing for 10 years with all kinds of looks and guys at the LOS and press coverage at the same time. The game plan for the first NE was the worst idea ever. lol.

I'd love for him to elaborate on what he carried over from last year. The fronts and the coverages were different and there was utter confusion.

 

His rep for acumen as a game planner took a big hit this year, IMO.

 

As Dave has said......there is a difference between tactics and strategy.

 

Rex is all tactics on D. Sometimes it worky.......sometimes it no worky.

 

The fact that Pettine got more out of less speaks volumes about Rex inability to adapt.

 

What Rex really needs to do is work on becoming a better head coach instead of trying to prove that his system is superior to having a flexible defense that can put the talent on hand in the best position to succeed.

@Buccigross: Tom Brady was pressured (hit, sack, or duress) on 20 of his 40 dropbacks Monday, his most in a game in the past 7 seasons #espnstats

Damn right! Why did it take 10 games?

 

This is what I've been talking about since that week two debacle when Ryan used a soft cover scheme instead of a heavy rush. The team also looks like it fixed the penalty problem that plagued the team for 8 games.

 

 

Now, if they can only figure out a way to get Sammy 10+ touches a game! Have Tyrod Taylor start throwing over the middle! Get the special teams coverage & kick off / return units to start playing as well as the kickers.
