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. Was that the score today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This is a dumb thread created by a poster that’s made other dumb post-game threads. I commend the consistency at least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Milano is back next week I'd feel better if at least one of the backups was a guy who had played some LB in the league or something but Stanford and Maurice Alexander are career special teamers and Thompson is a UDFA from last year who is probably following that same path. Small nitpick for sure, but it would be nice to have one guy at the position you knew could step in and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Simply not enough short fields. They make stops more than your average bend but don't break defense. Which makes the yards per game stat look good. But just forcing punts isn't good enough. Need more turnovers, sacks, and occasionally score some points by the defense. How did Baltimore win in Seattle? Defense scored two touchdowns. I know that is not the norm, but Jets were beating Bills for most of the game due in no small part to a pick 6. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more first downs being given up a game if thet can get a few turnovers early that lead to points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a bills fan I am thrilled all our starters across the defense are actually talented vs our many years of 8 talented and 3 hacks- so don't get greedy.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 5 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: No it wasn’t. It was a perfectly executed ST play to take advantage of our ST unit being out of position. Just like Micah Hyde took advantage of large gaps he saw open in the Dolphin kickoff line. How often does Micah Hyde's TD happen? How often does a blocked punt for a TD happen? Not often and is usually attributed to a gross error/freak play. 1 minute ago, John from Riverside said: Can we agree that the game has also changed since that time because the nfl wants more pints more ezcitement Looks like you've had a couple of pints...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Our defense is excellent in this years NFL. Doesn’t matter where they rank historically. PS: We were missing one of our best defense players today in Milano. PPS: Vaunted Bears defense was lit up by Saints team with no Brees or Kamara. It’s the NFL, guys are paid to score on the defense too. So I’m not worried a fired up Fitz got some scores on us.

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.. So do you think they only try to score 2 TD's a game? I think we threw 3 deep passes today, we connect on those and that's 21 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Title is more clear, but I don’t think many on the board were putting them in the all time great category. Not a ton to complain about defensively thus far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, these things are credited to the defense or not? Or are you saying the defense got lucky and it wasn't their talent that resulted in these game changing plays? Hey everyone, if not for the defense holding the other four teams we've beat to fewer points than us and making plays that mattered, we'd be 0-6. Man they suck making all those lucky stops. What a bunch of posers. I want them to get INTs and force fumbles only when it doesn't matter and we're up by 3 scores. Then we'll know they're a legit D!

The NFL has gone off the deep end with trying to stress offenses, superstar QBs, rules over protecting the offensive player, etc. Defense has nearly become an afterthought; it's being played only because it is one of the three phases of the game.

In the 4th quarter, nursing a 10 point lead, he ran three running plays through the middle of the line (and punted) rather than trying to get a 1st down and add more points when there theoretically was enough time for Miami to get back into the game. Miami scored a TD to bring the lead to 3. We were fortunate that Hyde recovered the on sides kick and scored to put a dagger in Miami. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This defense needs a big time edge rusher to take the next step imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably haven't been in the lead late in the game that often until this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 2 hours ago, ScottLaw said: Yep. I hate the conservative nature of the team, but that’s all McDermott. Is there a team you love more? Are you mad we are not 6-0, or that we are 5-1 and should have won by more? Not being snarky, but we just see things differently. I’m happy to win, will see where we need to be better, and hope for the best going forward. At 5-1 you will not get anything that sounds like complaining from me. I will admit to what we do wrong and where we missed, but I’m not “hating”. For the most part, this is working! (And a year ahead of schedule in my mind, but with a fortunate schedule.) BTW - Is that conservative nature part of launching all those long balls? Because I wish we would cut that by half, at least. We need to get better at it to justify doing it so often.
