Nextmanup Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) "Wasn't good enough at all today, and it starts with me" is literally how MCD just opened his post-game PC. 😭 McD criticized team tackling today. "Gotta win your 1-on-1s." McD refusing to comment on the loss of STAR today. "I'll only talk about the guys who are here."

GunnerBill Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Because they don't trust their LB depth I think is the answer. I said all week I thought it was a game for more base personnel but once you don't have Edmunds do you have to look and say "Taron is just a much better player than Dodson or Andre Smith"? It is a tough call. They did try some base formation in the 2nd Qrtr but it was with Taron essentially just playing as the Will. Not having Edmunds hurt today and limited their flexibility. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no star player. Maybe Rousseau or Boogie or AJ can develop into one, but there's no guy on the field showing them how to get it done.

Rew Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The run defense in nickel has been decent this year. Coaches underestimates how much the loss of star and Edmunds would mean to our nickel effectiveness. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, might have seen more 3 LB sets had Edmunds been available. But I don't understand playing Nickel against 2 TE sets on 3rd and short and goal line. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Our pass rush has been so weak, at this point I say drop the whole d into coverage. I'm joking, but i definitely think the defense needs to blitz more. Getting pressure with the front 4 is not working very well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evian Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) The Mcdermott/Frazier defense has always been soft. If you have a power running game you can slice through it like butter. The Titans and Colts just dominated the Bills. The Patriots will likely do the same. If we meet Cleveland in the playoffs they will do the same. It has been a problem for years.

TampaBillsJunkie Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Why not got 5-2-4 in this package and put some size on the field. The only true threat was Taylor and we should have been stout up front to stop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to be so deep on the line. Why not use it. They might pop a few big plays here and there, but this would limit those 10 yd runs he kept gouging us with and the Colts don't have the horses at WR or TE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I was asking the same question. But Taron Johnson has to be able to cover Taylor better on that 1st half TD pass - imagine what Taylor and Hines do to LB coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Funny thing was, we knew from the opening drive what they were gonna do and they did it for the whole game. It ain’t working, try something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 In the end Indianapolis just has better players. The only hope was Allen and the offense scoring at will. On to New Orleans. The season and McD's career will be decided next Monday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only true threat was Taylor and we should have been stout up front to stop him. They did some of that last year as an adjustment in San Fran after their first drive. Played Edmunds on the edge and went to a tight bear front. I do think Tremaine being down was huge today. Not saying it is the difference between a win or a loss but it mattered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
