Can we discuss our premium defensive draft picks?


McBean

Recommended Posts

Epenesa, Rousseau, Basham, Eddie O..

 

Butler and Addison signings. 
 

What happened today can’t happen whenever you’ve spent this much on that side of the ball. To make things worse, we have neglected our offensive weapons.
 

I’m not going to freak out over today. It was ugly. I still think we go deep into the playoffs, but very disappointing seeing us get bullied like we were today folks.

We designed our team to kill quarterbacks. That's what they're good at. When we have mosnter RBs, especially with no Star, we simply can't compete. 

But we aren’t good at killing QBs. Seems like none of these guys are good at applying pressure consistently

I tend to agree for as much credit as Beane gets, if he doesn’t hit on Allen this team would be terrible. They are way to finesse of a team on both sides. 
 

I get that to an extent that the game has become more finesse but man they get worked by teams that have any physicality.

OP…don’t even get me started on this. People don’t wanna hear it, even if it’s true.

Number 1 defense across the board entering today.  Suddenly now its terrible according to this thread while cleverly over looking that we were missing 2 critical players on defense in Edmunds and ESPECIALLY Star (against a run dominant team) and also continuously shot ourselves in the foot on both sides of the ball with bad penalties and turnovers?

 

Today was way more about not having our size in the middle of the field, dumb penalties, and dumb mental errors.

Believe they had the highest pressure rate in the league heading into today’s game.

I don’t buy into pressure too much. We watch the games every week. Are the bills really effective at rushing the passer? I’d say no

Come on man…we put a lot of stats up against crap teams. It doesn’t take a genius to see that.

They didn't even put up a fight, sorry 2 guys going down and it crumbles... Ok, then the depth is atrocious, either way it points to coach/ GM

I don’t think the Bills go deep in the playoffs. I really don’t believe they will even make the playoffs.

 

A win against a struggling at the time Chiefs team, the Fish twice, Jets, Texans and Washington.

 

The Bills are a paper tiger that need a lot of work.

All 3 of you need to pay more attention when Star is on the field.  He is substantially more important than you are giving him credit for, and it shows on the field and on the stat sheet for this defense.

They actually are good at getting pressure, by whatever metric they use to define that, but they definitely don’t “kill QB’s”.  
 

Bizarre issue they’ve had since McDermott/Frazier took over the defense.   They generate pressure but struggle getting home.
