Cherrybone Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 They don't have the sacks but the turnovers are insane. I never thought I would see the Bills with a better defense then the defense from a few seasons ago under Schwartz. I'll take the turnovers over sacks any day. Good job so far.

I stand corrected. I don't think it was '04? I heard them earlier mention they had a 6 game streak with 3 or more turn overs. trying to find the year? I'm getting old.

LeGOATski Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I work with a Raiders fan who was calling the Bills' defense a fluke and actually thinks Rex is a good coach. Wonder how he's feeling now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 maybe it was '04? the best team to miss the playoffs since the turn of the century - Bills 2004 defense ranks 4th in last 30 years View Gallery | 20 Photos Alumni Rewind: Aaron Schobel The 2004 Buffalo Bills finished second in the league that year in total defense, first in takeaways (39), second against the pass (164 yds/gm), third in touchdowns allowed (29), sixth against the run (100.2 yds/gm) and sixth in points allowed (17.8/gm). On Football Outsiders advanced metric scale the Bills 2004 defense, which featured players like Sam Adams, Pat Williams, Aaron Schobel, London Fletcher, Takeo Spikes, Nate Clements and Lawyer Milloy, was the fourth-best defensive unit in the NFL in the last 30 years.

RyanC883 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 this D is unbelievable right now. Milano looks like he belongs as a starter. I wonder if he can play himself into starting. Backups come in, nothing missed. Frazier has to be assistant coach of the year (if that's a thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 ....BIGGEST repulse is how Train Wrecks set this club back TWO years and MCD resurrects it overnight...... did you happen to see Rex on ESPN earlier when they asked him about the Bills and if this is the year they break the drought.

billspro Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Turnovers are not sustainable for long term success I don't think this team is going to slow down in the turnover department. They are well coached, play proper technique, and continue to create turnover opportunities. They could have had a couple more today and last game.

Case in point. Preston brown in great coverage position, knocks ball in air, and almost gets a pick. Next play, Brown in great coverage position, knocks ball in air, and Hyde grabs the deflection.

Oh how people forget. We can't discredit what Tyrod has done with limiting turnovers. First qb we've had in a while that I'm not terrified to see dropping back on 3rd down.

Green Lightning Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I didn't expect many sacks today, Carr gets the ball out faster than any other quarterback in the NFL. That said the pressure did bother him and forced him to make some mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
