FireChans Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2020.htm A quarter of the way through the season and the Bills D is 20th in yards allowed, 17th in points allowed, all while being 6th in starting field position. Thank god the Bills offense is 5th in points and 4th in yards, despite being 28th in rushing yards. McD's masterplan to get Josh Allen his first MVP is succeeding so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17islongenough Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I think that second half in Vegas is going to be the defense we get going forward. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been fairly solid in first half of games. The lack of passion rush hurts them when teams are on comeback mode...that needs to be fixed...but otherwise classic bend but don't break.

Marv's Neighbor Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Is Frazier feeling any heat? If they let him go, would Sean just step in, or name a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It will improve as time goes on. Lots of new faces on the D Line. However, this doesn't really matter. Teams win super bowls ranked worse on D than we are right now. It's all about the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like the Heat Daboll was supposed to be feeling coming into this season? Preseason just ended and they are rounding into form. Norman helps and we have to address the pass rush for sure.

Locomark Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 None of those stats matter. What I care abiut is that they need to continue with that Vegas game effort of forcing turnovers and fourth down stops. That’s what wins in the big games. Yards allowed means squat.

Yeah the problem is they actually let the other team come back. Dolphins, Rams, even the Raiders for a little while there, all got back into the game after trailing by 2 scores. The defense was saved by Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things. You should be worried about the defense. They're playing at a below average level. This defense with last year's offense doesn't reach the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I haven't seen a snap all season 😕 I've been following on the board here during games. Is it all three lvls of the D or where are the problems coming from ? The last few yrs the D bailed them out quite a bit. How is there such a big swing ?

They also had a phenomenal 1st half vs Rams . They just need to put together 4 quarters. And I thought they'd be dominant with the continuity. Milano being injured is going to hurt. I was in the Gameday thread for the 1st half vs LV and Edmunds was getting ripped apart. Many saying he regressed big time. Anyone care to expand on that? I know he was out of position a couple of times in the pass game but I thought it was more on the DL giving Carr all day , in the 1st half. Curious why ppl specifically thought Edmunds was an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds again taking bad angles. Run Dis interesting and has been all year. They are stout one play and then get gashed for 10+ on another. That seems to fit the narrative of not getting to their run fits and playing bad angles. Even White has given up some yards and a score or two but the opposition has mostly targeted Levi and Taron. Milano when healthy has been great. Hyde and Hughes have been as well. That said, the pass rush got better in the second half last week. The run D got better. And they forced two fumbles - one a strip sack. If I'm Beane I still try to add an edge pass rusher especially with Milano out for some time. 4 hours ago, FireChans said: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2020.htm A quarter of the way through the season and the Bills D is 20th in yards allowed, 17th in points allowed, all while being 6th in starting field position.

Add an edge pass rusher and give the DL rotation a bit more time to come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
