With the QBs we have, just apply pressure and wait for Nate to throw you 5 picks. AJ burned someone last year playing man coverage, but he was throwing to another AJ..... But AJ green is a monster. I have no input for Allen yet. As far as shady goes, I play him like belicheck played Thurman in our first super bowl. Let him have yards up the middle. Don't let him out side. 15 carries 135 yds 1 TD.....5 catches 55 yards.....great defense on Thurman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSpeed Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'd drop everyone into coverage even my D-tackles. Have all my CBs play at least 15 yards off the line, and make sure I am totally set way before the ball is snapped so that the Bills O has a comfortable amount of time to see what I was doing. Hey I'm a Bills fan and I never said I was a good DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 A 3/4 defense with a strong nose might give the Bills offense problems. I am well aware that it is a passing league, but if I were an opposing DC, I would try to take away the run from the Bills, and weak guards might make me able to do so. I would try to force them to throw and then come after the qbs with blitzes. This is what I fear will happen. The Bills, with Bruce, Bryce and company had a GREAT defense but as great as they were, they would sometimes get tired because the offense was just that bad. If the Bills can find some way, ANY way to field a strong, effective OL, this team has the potential to be fairly good. If not, we are done. Jmo.

BillsBytheBay Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thurm and Bill have both spoke about it. Bill knew you can't stop Thomas. So he didn't try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make them cough ip the ball and put it on the ground. Utilize your James Harrison-s or your Von Miller-s to apply pressure. ? That Sir, is one fantastic avatar!!!!!! Welcome to TSW!!!

I agree stats don't mean much but Thurman was MVP that game. Belichick didn't dictate anything.

What does this mean? Football is a physical game....how do you play unphysical? I'm hoping most of this is sarcasm because it can't be serious. Covered every cliche 100% Sarcasm sir!

The Red King Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I stand by my answer. And it's not pessimistic, as I happen to think Buffalo can indeed beat it. But the original question was simply how would you defend against Buffalo...people are answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
