reddogblitz Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Our DB's tackle well. Shirley you can't be serious. I guess if you're including the safeties then they aren't horrible. But Gilmore is probably one of the worst tacklers I've ever seen. And Darby is not a whole lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I think this one is pretty simple: Rex's defense was predicated on the assumption that Fitz wouldn't be able to make the throws. Or (as has historically been the case), he'd make the throws until he misses badly, resulting in a devastating interception or two (often of the pick 6 variety). Problem is that never happened on Thursday ... I think this is Right On. He pretty much acknowledged in his post-game presser. He thought they needed to cover Decker and Marshall and stifle the run, and they would bait Fitz into mistakes. He didn't think they'd be able to throw effectively to Marshall and Enunwa, and when Fitz did, he couldn't figure out a way to adjust. Lack of effective in-game adjustments are my biggest disappointment in Rex & co. At times the DL was missing Dareus AND Hughes. He couldn't get pressure with the front 4 with the backup level talent and felt he couldn't blitz to create pressure because his corners needed help. That's what I thought he meant. Except where was the safety help for his corners? Did you see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the DL will look much better when Dareus and Shaq are back. so how does that help game 3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 yes I tuned in to the game late (being a Hapless Fan now and no longer Hopeful, heh). When did Rex blitz? The long play to Enunwa looked like bringing 5 and blanketing the middle of the field, daring Fitz to make the >20 yd throw down the sideline. Surprise!
