Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Bills had communication issues on defense earlier in the year. Glad they got it all worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey152 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I think the early season concern over the defense, while warranted at the time, was overblown in hindsight. Half the D line was new, they’d lost the two biggest defensive leaders to retirement in back to back seasons, both the starting linebackers were hurt (and the backups were banged up, too), and something was clearly up with tre early in the season. guys got healthy, the dline started figuring it out, and Jerry Hughes became a leader along with Jordan Poyer. They look far more like themselves, and in some respects maybe even better...they finally have a complimentary offense that can force teams to be more one-dimensional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Frazier and McD really have improved the defense and deserve all the accolades they are getting. The one major improvement that we've seen in the last few games is an ability to adjust on the fly. The defensive coaches have finally figured out how to adjust to what they are seeing in game. Last night was an awesome display by the defense and especially impressive considering that Newton's (and the Pats only) TD came directly as a result of the refs missing a flagrant hold on Mario Addison that allowed Newton to escape. Just have to figure out a way to defeat Mahomes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
