Giants had 65 yards to go with 0 timeouts with about 1:30. And tampa had 80 yards to go with 0 timeouts in 20 seconds lol. Those aren’t “stops “ to me They had the ball and needed to score to win, and the defense didn't let them lol. Why are you trying to change the definition? If the defense tackled Russell Wilson and the Broncos ran out of time, that wouldn't be a stop? When Josh and the offense couldn't get out of bounds vs the Dolphins last year to kick a field goal, the Dolphins defense didn't stop us, we just ran out of time? What? What is your definition of a "stop?" They have to get the ball back for the offense to go victory formation at least once? What about putting them in a position to miss a field goal? Is that a stop?

34-30 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 To be fair..not many teams get that stop. If a team needs a FG to win/tie in the modern NFL, there is a greater than not chance they're going to get the attempt. Whether its on their own, or aided by officials/calls, the ball is getting moved. Great defense in the NFL doesn't mean what it used to. (though the trend of defense/run game seems to cycling back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A “stop” isn’t objective. There has to be lots of context to it. Fine you want to argue the giants one was a stop? I will disagree but ok. The clock and no timeouts had more of a factor than the bills defence making plays in my opinion. the bucs one was not a “stop”… 80 yards to go with 20 seconds on the clock with 0 timeouts. What defence would actually piss that away? It was even amazing Tampa got off a Hail Mary and should have had 1st and goal from the 1 from a missed PI call. Giants one? Fine I get your argument but I’ll disagree. Bucs one? That is not a “stop”. Edited November 15, 2023 by BillsFan130 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times it’s been hard to watch and it’s infuriating….That being said, more then once this offense has kept grinding and gotten us the lead late, only to watch the Defense on skates and blow it. It’s not just this season, it’s EVERY season with McDermott….overall we end up with good statistics defensively but we never make a stop in a big spot. If we are in a situation where momentum is changing and we need a quick 3 and out to get the ball back, the other team moves it on us every single time. No exceptions. If we get up in a game and need a stop to win…they go down the field and score every time. If we aren’t turning people over, we don’t make stops. This coach has no clue how to get firm in a big spot. 13 seconds was the reveal to the world but it’s been happening on a smaller scale from day 1. If we aren’t turning a team over, we don’t stop them. Every third down, guys wide open. Every short yardage situation, no resistance…constant penalties in back braking spots. This defense looks good on paper but when you need them to step up, never happens It’s because his bend but don’t break conservative defense that he’s employed since he’s been here. Then he does something like he did last night and 2 blitzes in a row to get burned and he won’t blitz again for 5 more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A catch or a pass interference ,as you should well known we are highly prone to, is a loss. Games don't get much closer than one play that sends you home with a W or L. it's a textbook definition of "a stop". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, ok if you want to count that Fine even though I disagree because I am factoring in context. But yes you have a legitimate argument for that one You also said the bucs one is a “stop” which by rule, technically you’re “right”. But it once again doesn’t factor in common sense and context. (80 yards to go in 20 seconds with 0 timeouts..) Where’s the line here? If a team gets the ball on their own 1 yard line with 1 second to go and the defence “stops them”, would that count as a stop in your mind? Or does it make more sense to use context and common sense?

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 This defense is the same every single time we need it. Every single time we need a stop it’s a guarantee they are scoring. Even if you fire McDermott tonight it’s not fast enough. This defense cost us a Super Bowl and now we missed the playoffs in the most wide open year in forever. Absolutely sickening and inexcusable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bermuda Triangle Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 what will all of the defense apologists have to say this week? Read a thread here earlier today in which a poster said that on THREE occasions this season, the offense has scored a TD with under 2:00 left, to take the lead. The Bills are 0-3 in those games. That's hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Every year from the Texans loss on has been about the defense letting down in big spots. We have wasted an all time offensive window because our defense in invisible when it matter. Somehow, inexplicably the 1 year our defense wasn’t the causes of our season ending was 17.

Toyo321 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) McD is a one trick pony and personally he only knows zone coverage. He has cost us so many games going to this Zone deep protect crap that it is beyond belief. He sucks as a head coach and as a Def. coordinator. There is nothing game changing with anything he brings to this D side of the ball. I am also done with Poyer and Hyde, their mistakes this year are un F***ing believable.
