But that's a two way street.  A couple of forced 3 & outs of the Eagles in the 3rd quarter would have gone a long towards keeping the D fresh. 

It would have, but the Eagles game was largely about offensive failure for the Bills. They got the short field they need after a takeaway on STs and turned it over on downs. You’re not beating many teams in the NFL scoring 13.

not sure but 

 

the Sean Taylor game, the Bills took advantage of 1 play . 

 

December 2, 2007- Rian Lindell hits a game-winning field goal to keep the Bills' playoff hopes alive against the Redskins. This was Washington's first game after the tragic death of Sean Taylor.

 

 

 

 

 

I remember this game.  Interesting to note that the Bills had some pretty good skill players back when Edwards played.  I think it's fair to say that Lee Evans & Fred Jackson are more explosive then anyone on the current Bill's O.

I disagree.  It contributed for sure but to me our defensive letdown was the main reason we lost that game.  The Bills are built to win more 13 - 10 games then they are to win 34 - 31 games.

 

No doubt failing to score after the fumbled punt was a big deal.  But it's not like we got the ball in the red zone.  it was at the Eagles 44 as I recall. 

 

And it's fair to say that the Eagles 1st TD right out of halftime was as big or even bigger momentum changer then Allen's fumble right before half.  And the Eagles last 2 TD drives probably ran off almost 14 minutes in TOP costing the Bills at least 2 offensive possessions.

 

That's why for the Redskins game the most important thing is for the Bills Defense to get back on track.  We can't give Washington the kind of long time consuming drives that we yielded to BOTH the Eagles & Dolphins.  And if Haskins is QB it's on the D to force TO's on the Redskins side of the field.  Our offense needs all the help it can get and after 7 games it's only received the ball in the opponents red zone ONCE.

I think I would say that the 2007 team's top players were better, but that this team has better depth. I'm not worried about Kroft jumping out of the back of the endzone to catch a ball.

How Worried Should the Buffalo Bills Be about the Washington Redskins?

1182568127.jpg.0.jpg

 

the defense is the real story. Even with the loss last week, the Bills are still #3 in the league in yards allowed, and #5 in points allowed. Jordan Poyer, TreDavious White, Micah Hyde, and Levi Wallace form one of the more formidable defensive backfields in the league. Meanwhile, pass-rush specialist Jordan Phillips and old friend Lorenzo Alexander key a unit that has remained stout, even in the wake of Kyle Williams’ retirement at the end of 2018.

 

How Worried Should They Be?: Not too worried. I doubt many Redskins fans had the Bills game circled as one of the tougher ones on the 2019 schedule back in August. Yet, here we are.

 

The Bills’ defense makes them a legitimate playoff contender. They gave the Patriots their toughest game of the season by far. They’re less potent offensively, but that hasn’t mattered most weeks.
