PaoloBillsFanFromItaly Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 A lot of times our defense stopped Indi offense for no gain or minimum gain on first and second down only to get torched on 3rd and long. Discuss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Definitely not what you like seeing after they have been so good in recent games at getting teams off the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Definitely very disappointing third down defense today. They can't expect to keep winning if they are giving up that high of a 3rd down rate. Josh Allen carried the win with his playmaking ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnCoke11 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 No pass rush at all.. Rivers will find an open man sitting back there in a clean pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 They kept blitzing unsuccessfully on 3rd down. The couple of times they did stop them was 4 man rush and coverage behind it. If you blitz a guy as experienced as Rivers and don't get home he will find the open guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 There's not much to discuss. The d has been doing this for years. This year, it hasn't been as noticeable because the offense has been good enough to overcome the deficiencies of the defense. This didn't happen in the KC or Titans game, and it almost bit them today. They need some major league coaching to go further in the playoffs.

Brennan Huff Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The defense was awful today. No pressure on rivers, receivers were wide open all day, poor tackling, etc. Thankfully the Colts beat themselves on several posessions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Let’s be honest... the D had been at best average for the greater part of the season... Need to find some front 7 players in the draft, but finding a true difference maker at 28 is going to be tough.. In Beane we trust .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Re the defense more generally, they did a nice job on Taylor. Amazingly, it was Hines who gashed them late on those draws. Hines was an impressively slippery back— was really impressed by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second half drive Colts TD drive drove me nuts. They just wouldn’t stop blitzing someone on third down and long, and Rivers is good enough to find the TE sitting down in the zone. It left Tre’ hanging out to dry. Rivers is good at that, and Frazier should have known better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching isn’t the issue we need better players up front just look at our DLine jerry hughes is long in the tooth Ed Oliver is a 2 year player and next year is big for him time to step up. Mario Addison getting old butler is a bust from the panthers quinton Jefferson never really was that guy to cause havoc Harrison Phillips is out there because we have no choice. We have to revamp this hole unit next year. We will go as far as Allen will take us and I hop that rookie running back Williams can bring some juice if he gets a go.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Too much zone and giving receivers free release off the line of scrimmage was a bad approach. Tackling today was also poor. Dropping Hughes into pass coverage didn't fool anyone. After it didn't work, why repeat it multiple times? This was a below average game by Milano and Tre White.

Solomon Grundy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Covering a good TE seems to be a weakness for the team. Hopefully this is something they can recognize and fix. Ebron, Jonnu Smith, Tonyan, Kelce, Mark Andrews, Njoku/Bryant are all possible matchups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I just kept seeing 3rd & 7, 3rd & 8, 3rd & 10 getting converted by 1 yard. So frustrating not to mention 3 ignored delay of games. We have to do better on our pass rush. I know we don't have a marquee pass rusher but we better find one soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre definitely blew his assignment on one of those late TD's. He doubled a wr to the center of the field on a post pattern and left the streak all alone.
