Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 He’s definitely better for Ed Oliver. Wow, what a different player. He’s dominating. If he keeps this up his contract is a bargain. 12 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeerie Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Frazier was the problem all along, in my opinion. He coaches scared. The bigger the game, the worse the defense.

Negative minded people say every year that the Bills “haven’t played a good offense yet”. We make good offenses look bad.

GunnerBill Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 McDermott is one of the best defensive minds in the league. So that isn't a surprise.

Eastport bills Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Watching this game, you wonder why Sean allowed Frazier to run the defense for so long. He was so timid and passive. Sean brings pressure, is aggressive and has the personnel using their athleticism. The thought of Miller, Floyd and Rousseau pinning their ears back with the ferocious play of Oliver and the other tackles in the middle gives fans confidence that unless you’re coming with elite O-lines, we’re going to dominate like the last 2 weeks. Next week, against Miami, will be a good barometer of how good we are. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 We will k ow more after next week. We must get hands on Hill every Play, no free releases and double him.

It would’ve been a weird look to move on from him but I think 13 seconds led to same bad feelings and the Bengals games was the nail in the coffin.

billieve420 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Lot of people were like it is the same defense which is true. However, play caller has made a huge difference bet no one misses Frazier now. Beginning of the year I would settle for middle of the pack defense if we were making more impact plays and causing turnovers. Will definitely need some next week with the track team they have built over in Miami. Edited September 24, 2023 by billieve420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 They attack. That's the difference. There are some QBs that will carve you up given enough time, and those are the QBs that shredded us. Bend but don't break only went so far. This D is savage, and good things happen when you begin to rattle a QB. We saw it today. It's not just the stats, it's how we got there. Next week will be a huge test. Right now it's starting to look like an irresistable force hitting an unmoveable object. ...and Von Miller is still looming on the horizon. >.> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 The D does look a lot better. Next week will be a huge test.

You make a good case for why they kept him, but he got dumped by 4 separate teams where the defense ( his strength supposedly)didn’t distinguish themselves as being quality. We actually made him look better than he deserved with talented personnel. I’m glad we put him in the rear view. 12 minutes ago, somnus00 said: Yet we always heard people saying that Frazier was running the defense that McDermott wanted.

thenorthremembers Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Like what I've seen so far but only three games in. Frazier liked to play bend but don't break which is frustrating to watch sometimes but it often led to top 10 defenses. What I'd love to see is a defense that doesn't bend and break in the playoffs.
