The Defense is good, can we agree they are not all time great....


Recommended Posts

As were the Monsters of the Midway or the 2000 Ravens and the Bills can not win every game 17-13?

 

Today we saw Miami almost beat them and if not for a bad Int at the goal line (and subsequent 98 yard drive) and a bad fumble the Bills again play to their competition.

 

This trying to control the clock and game between the 20's is a dangerous recipe and the Bills need to know how to score in the high 20's.

But the D in fact did its job and stopped Miami from blowing the game wide open. I will say that Milano was missed out there especially against the run. How can you defend against a QB who is letting it rip within 2 seconds of the snap. Fitz did what he does and it propelled Miami to the near upset. You think there was some secret D play that would have stopped those passes?

No one in their right mind compared this year’s Bills D to the 2000 Ravens. In the current NFL, they can put a team in great position to win a lot of games. They’re winning while the offense is still figuring things out. There are worse things that could happen.

Miami had scored 42 points prior to today & seemed pretty competent on Offense (on the road no less) against a Defense that had some here going on and on about as the best in the league.

One week overreaction?   Okay  

 

Who called them the 85 bears or 00 Ravens btw ?  ??????

Many were calling them the best in the 2019 NFL (or top 3)......

 

And McDermott coaches the Offense as if they are and can win every game 14-10..

Yeah bye weeks can kind of screw up things...they won. There are no style points. Its a week to week league.

The Bills defense is pretty good, one of the better units in the NFL. They had an off day by their current standards. They will never be confused with the ‘85 bears or the 2000 Ravens.

Nfl.com had them ranked #2 behind the pats based off stats before today.   

 

They were probably stating facts

Not really an excuse, but Miami receivers caught a lot of contested passes, and passes that weren’t that great. 

The Bills still don’t have big, strong, mean, fast receivers.  Duke isn’t fast, but he’s got most of those other characteristics covered. He needs more targets (assuming he’s healthy).

I do wish they would blitz more, and be more creative when they do.

So do I, but it’s just not in their defensive philosophy. An elite DE  obviously helps  the rush and it’s their main weakness , as well as LB depth.
