Domdab99 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We are looking at a historically bad defense for the Bills. Has any Bills team given up this many points in 3 successive games? 34, 47, and 54 points given up...granted, some of it was due to TOs, but holy cow, this defense is a sieve. Watching the Chargers' backup RB get a ten-yard running start before being touched is not good. Poor pass rush, slow and under-sized LBs, and a decent secondary that can't carry the load. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chiefs put a 60-burger on this squad next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuddyDark Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 All of these defensive players were playing well when they had Marcell. People don't like it bit it's true. Bill had a formula. Play defense, score 20 points. Win games. McDermott read his own press and believe he was a football god. Well he ain't. He still needs players.

Real McClappy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The D has been toasted 3 weeks straight, I'd start right there actually. The running lanes between the gaps and holes in the secondary are now worse than a Rex Ryan D. What a friggin rough ass day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Other than KW95, who are the D-linemen? Why are LBs covering receivers, and CBs are tackling runners? How can a run up the middle go for 5+ yards EVERY. SINGLE. TIME? How can a RB carry the pile for over 5+ yards? Etc.., Etc., Etc. So many things about this defense that I don't understand.

Wayne Cubed Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 To be fair to the defense, the did stop the first non pick-6 Nat Peterman int. But then, ya know, they still had 3 more to go. The first 20 points came off of turnovers... I mean, yea the defense can only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...its a 3 game franchise record...shocking when you think back to how bad the D was under Wannstadt when Gailey was here that one year...

JPP Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It was the always the defence since we let the jets gassed us for like 200 yards and than NO for another 300 yards.....everyone well just some here thought you change the QB and majico!! we will win again.......same problems...today just started with the INT's on like every drive in the 1st half......sheesh.....put frigin Taylor in and fire Dennision would be a good thing and maybe scheme to our QB's positive traits instead of trying to make him into a pure pocket passer (which he is not)......there is no other option right now......and i dont and never will buy into the stupid theory of losing games and blowing a season for the draft..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is the most points the Bills have allowed over three games in a season since the final three games of 1976, when they gave up 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclepete Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 5 interceptions is a real problem. But I agree, the D is a larger issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) The problem is that NO side of the ball is playing well---or even a PART of one side of the ball... They can't stop the run, they can't cover, they can't get off the field on 3rd downs, they can't get turnovers, they can't force a punt, they can't pass protect, they can't throw the ball downfield, they can't punt, they can't block on special teams... The only good thing they are doing somewhat OK is run blocking for McCoy and that is spotty and covering kicks on special teams. And Hauschka... And that's not going to win many games...I don't care WHAT league you are playing in Edited November 20, 2017 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otagoyellow Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 It's just mind-boggling how quickly we've moved from hope to despair. This defense appeared dominating to start the season. The whiplash is startling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 12 hours ago, Domdab99 said: they do, but this defense is way worse This is becoming reminiscent of the Wanny defense that gave up 52, 45, and 50 points in the same season. Granted, not all in consecutive weeks, but every week showed how bad the run defense (and pretty much the entire defense) was. Wanny & Chan kept insisting they had the right scheme, despite the opposite being blatantly obvious. They were gone after that season. 11 hours ago, BuffalOhio said: How many receivers were running free all over the field on EVERY SINGLE PLAY? They can't cover ANYBODY. Now, I wasn't terribly upset with having Keenan Allen on my fantasy team, but yikes. I saw this while at the Tampa game - receivers are finding soft spots all over the place and everyone is WIDE open. It's almost like the opposing offense knows exactly what the defense will be doing on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
