TPS Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 There was one play in the 4th Q where someone came flying up the middle and nailed Stafford just as he threw a pass, but unfortunately there was no replay.

True that. At that time most people on this board didn't want him resigned, saying that his 9.5 sacks were "coverage sacks" so they don't count. AND he was asking too much... but yet, most people also thought that paying Lawson $13M+/ year was acceptable. Which is what Miami ended up paying him for his 1 year of service. Lawson - 13M/year - 4 sacks in Miami Phillips - 10M/year - 2 sacks in Arizona Butler - 13M/ 2 years - 0 sacks, and he was horrible for us. Yeah, it 100% would have been better to keep Phillips for that price. I'll take 10M/year for his 9.5 "coverage sacks" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 the best stat of the nite was when Stafford came off the field on very last possession with McVay on the field and he said "I cant throw the ball"....a good-solid defense gets better...Von Miller is who Beane, McD and Frazier thought he would-could be...elite on both sides on the ball... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Brown Eye Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Let's not exaggerate, they did blitz, one of the replay's during the game even keyed in on a bills blitz by Milano maybe that was picked up by the center. They just did not have to solely rely on the blitz to generate pressure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 All of this was great to see, but what made me the happiest was they did it and didn’t have to sell out to stop the run. That line consistently swallowed ball carriers in the backfield or for no or minimal gain. We haven’t had a line that was able to do that so far in McD’s tenure and it has been the fundamental aspect that has been lacking. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just did not have to solely rely on the blitz to generate pressure. Do a little research before spewing what you think happened. "The Bills' seven sacks were the most allowed in McVay's tenure with the Rams, who lost two starters from last year's offensive line and attempted to replace them internally. Miller came through, but he was just one contributor on a night when Buffalo didn't even need to blitz once to keep Stafford in check."

I do agree with you on Shaq, who received a huge offer We totally shouldn't have gone after Vernon Butler, but that was before the Bills became destination #1 in the NFL and they had to throw money at (former Panthers) to get them here. But yeah, he was a crap signing from the get-go, not as cumbersome as Lotulelei but still.

stevewin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Ha just posted in post-game thread didn't see this. It's exactly McD's dream scenario - pressure with front 4 coming in waves. The depth is ridiculous - Oliver goes down and not a beat lost. Shaq, who wreaked so much havoc in pre-season, inactive. Also - just got the feeling whatever 4 are on at any point - they are not going to get pushed around. Grown-a$$ men. A physical edge that has been missing for a while. Will be real interesting to see how Henry likes our new Dline next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips was a total bust with Arizona and got $18.5M gtd. Butler got $9.3M in guarantees. He was atrocious in a muddled role 2021(after taking a pay cut, which almost never works as a motivating tactic).

Both Phillips and Butler(and Star Lotulelei and Trent Murphy and on and on) were grossly overpaid. But let's not get revisionist with Phillips...........he was a total no-buy-in, non-factor in Arizona.........he was signed to be a run plugger in their 34 front and made no attempt to do that job. The Bills know he plays run D like he's 250# gap shooter and not his listed 350# or so.........so they just let him be a penetrator and that's why they've been the ones to get the most from him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
