Punching Bag Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Question will Bills give them incentives they would have earned if they made it. A number of players will be getting bonuses out of that special bonus fund based on playing time and inversely proportional to salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Their sack stats took a bump today too. They were already the top 3rd down defense.... but today should put them way clear in that category as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I know the jets were missing their wideouts but let’s not gloss over how dominant our defense was today that was an elite performance even opponent adjusted 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 When I think about the other teams in the playoffs I think the Bills play the best complimentary football. Their offense and defense have the ability to make game changing plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Ed Oliver really came on strong during the second half of the season...if Rousseau develops and takes a nice jump next year our Defense could be scary.

AlfaBill Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m not sold on the D. I think they played a crappy jets team who had a lot of starters out. I believe this D is a over average. They do play better with a lead, no matter how small. Hopefully they continue to stop the run and get after the QB. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to NFL defenses in today's game, all teams can have their moments opponents can put up numbers on them at times but this thread is about the year not today only. Every other team gave up more points and yards this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a good portion of this without a very expensive db, white! Jackson has been really solid. Would never rethink the white deal as he has so many intangibles. But maybe it affects further signings ,esp Wallace as Jackson is still on his rookie deal. Levi could be expendable next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said if we are playing a team like KC, and we’re down late in the game, do you trust this D to get a stop? I don’t.

That is probably because your perception of what is possible on defense in the NFL of 2021 is out of whack. Dominant defense is impossible to play. There hasn't been one since the LOB broke up in Seattle in about 2015. The best you can do in the league now is play restriction defense. And the Bills play that exceptionally. 3 hours ago, AlfaBill said: That’s probably true ( I wasn’t old enough to watch football in the 70s ;)). That said if we are playing a team like KC, and we’re down late in the game, do you trust this D to get a stop? I don’t. No, probably not. But there isn't a defense in the NFL I would trust in that situation because the NFL doesn't want a stop there. It wants a score. Watch the end of that Raiders and Chargers game. The game is heavily slanted in favour of offense now. If you are one score up against a top 10 Quarterback with 2 minutes to play and they have the ball you lose about 90% of the time. That is the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
