Played safe which was exactly what they’ve been doing vs KC. Difference in this one is the offense put up 38 points. Everyone on defense did their 1/11. Poyer and Hyde played under control all game. They really never had to switch up. Difference was the Dline was able to generate enough pressure and hold against the ground game. Last year against KC in the regular season they were gaining 7-8 yards a clip on the ground and it was making it far too easy to just grind the game out. This time they weren’t able to get that so they had to dink and dunk against the secondary and it caused issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has called a master plan to outwit the best players in the business. Can he do it one more time next week in Nashville. I mean we've done it the two games proceeding the last Titans game.

The Bills did not have Tre White, Levi, Milano, Moss or John Brown in that game and Josh had an injured shoulder. Our starting corners were josh Norman and cam Lewis. Andre Roberts started the game at WR. Just a much different team now. And as you said, the Bills typically beat the Titans Edited October 11, 2021 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm still not sure if I'll every truly be a fan of the 'bend but don't break' style of defense that this team runs, but at least for now they have found the right ingridients to be the best defense in the NFL. The question is whether or not it's sustainable through 17+ games. Either way I certainly see Frazier get another HC opportunity after this season comes to a close for the Bills, SB or not.

I am not particularly worried about losing him. I hope that he becomes a Dick LeBeau and stays with us as long term elite DC. In His defense he had Christian Ponder as his quarterback.. and went to the playoffs with him once He was baddddd Not even journeyman quarterback status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it was anything but vanilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 15 hours ago, Buffalo716 said: Guarantee they love him. He is a man they can respect He's like having a second head coach on our team... Week in and out you could see it in the preparedness It's all the little things.. dictating the game where he wants it to go.. not where the offensive coordinator wants it to go Leslie is hardly ever in a situation where he needs to get drastic.. he's hardly ever playing catch up... He dictates what the offense does.. not vice versa He's a master at combining coverages and hiding them.. and playing the sticks Best defensive coordinator we've had here since Wade.. Schwartz was good and I liked him but his defense had little Gap integrity which hurt in big moments Leslie's defenses are never out of gap Yup...he seems like a tough coach but also one that cares about his players and wants to put them in the best position to help them succeed...like AJ Klein last year...he realized they were not using him properly and made some adjustments to his assignments and Klein has become very valuable to this defense... Steady hand that steers the ship and keeps them in the right headspace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallmark of a McDermott and Fraser defense is every player is put in the best chance to succeed Which flies in the face of tremaine Edmonds to outside linebacker because McDermott and Frazier always put their players in their best chance to succeed If McDermott didn't think Tremaine was his mike , he would have moved him a year ago Edited October 11, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems so serious and reserved most of the time but has cracked a few times now when things go well, like when he was running down the sideline stride for stride with a Taron's pick-6 vs Baltimore last year. Bet his players love him. I saw that smile. I don't recall ever seeing him like that before. He's a tremendous coach. I'm sure Houston would like a do over in last years coaching search.

I don't think 'bend but don't break' defenses lead the league in turnovers and fewest points allowed or are top 3 in rush and passing yards allowed. That's not much bending there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We send blitzes, just not against the Chiefs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
