Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 28 minutes ago, whatdrought said: Wrong. We were the second best defense in the league last year. We have the pieces, there is no reason it can't be ironed out. (That's not a guarantee it will be, but to say its behind is just too soon.) We did lose 3 key pieces up front and perhaps our replacements are not “up to” the same tasks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 2 or 3 moves away imo. After today, I am more worried about Bass than the defense. I dread that first game that comes down to needing him to make a FG to win at the final gun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think timing is the issue there. Besides, as good as Lawson and Phillips were last year- their success was widely because of the backend and the LB’s being so dang good. Once the back 7 get where they need to be, the front 4 will show up more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) 51 minutes ago, Bills fan since 87 said: To quote the GOAT Chris Jericho "Drink it in maaaan!" CBS graders for today: Bill's A "The Bills' decision to trade for Stefon Diggs is continuing to look like one of the most brilliant moves of the offseason. Although Josh Allen had another great game, a big reason why he looked so good was because of Diggs, who caught six passes for 115 yards. As for Allen, he continued to play like an MVP candidate, throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. The Bills offense was so good in this game that it wasn't forced to punt for the first time until the second half. Defensively, the Bills are finally starting to get healthy and it's definitely showing on the field. The defense came up with two key turnovers in the second half that helped seal the win. Any Bills fans who were in Vegas to watch this game might want to make sure they bet on their team to win the Super Bowl before leaving town.

The seahawks defense is worse than ours. Ravens just got destroyed by the chiefs and have a RB playing QB who has proven he can't win a big game. Is there one Superbowl contender this year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have enough weapons to hang with KC and Baltimore. And that is why I advocate for a trade now to help the defense get after the passer.

Its at least plausible to believe the bills could win a shootout against a team like kc now so that's definitely a good feeling lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Rk_Bills86 said: Based on how the rest of the league is playing - we are 100% playing at a level to be considered SB contenders. That being said - it is very clear that we need: 1) Another Star LB if we're going to have a 3rd on the field that often - or get the hybrid safety/cb/lb freak of nature 2) A BIG DT to each up space and double teams 3) Figure out of CB situation 4) How to get pressure on the QB with our 4man run and how to NOT get ripped on every single blitz.... because it's getting to be an issue. But man.... for this to be our only problems (outside of needing to put teams away instead of leaving a sliver of a chance to come back) is just a great feeling. We should be noticed. 1) Did we have 3 on the field very often? I didn't notice it. 2) We already have when Starr is back 3) Maybe it's Norman, but can easily find a potential high end starting as a rookie CB even if drafting #32 4) Agree we need to be better at putting pressure on the QB. This one could be the hardest to fix as not sure you can get a future super star pass risher drafting low nor do teams let really good ones go as a FA and not sure we could afford to sign one if there was one available.
