How Good is Joe Brady?

They also allow opponents to go long drives, consuming clock, keeping yardage down and putting JA on the bench.  

 

 

Here is a list of all of the defenses in NFL history that did not allow opponents to go on long drives, consume clock, keeping yardage down and keeping the QB on the bench:

 

1.   Null

 

 

None. All of them do this. Every one.

 

The Bills defense isn't great. Far from it. But it's also not as awful as many on here would have it. If you can find stats ranking how many long drives defenses allow, it might well be worth talking about. But with no particular way of quantifying this, it's really more of a way of saying that you don't like it.

 

They do need to improve the D.

 

But the problem was mostly the offense last night.

He had to return it. If he lets it land in the field of play (which it would have) and bounce into the endzone, they get the ball at the 20. Really, the only plausible chance they had was a kick return for a TD. That was highly improbable, but more probable than going 80 yards in ~20 seconds with no timeouts.

It was tough decision either way but no use of time gives you a chance of 2 plays if you get out of bounds instead of the one that was left. 
 

Like you said, the TD on kick off was improbable so why not give yourself a chance at 2 plays you can have the better probability of executing? We didn’t need to go 80 yards. It would have been a FG to tie. I like the odds better at getting 2 chunk yard plays and a long FG rather than a return on the kick off or having to Hail Mary 70/80 yards or alternatively risk the lateraling. 
 

Bigger picture, it should have never come down to that. Josh said it best in his post game pressure… “Piss Poor”

Fwiw.. I’m not super interested in hearing that we need a WR1 to see how good Brady is. 
 

I think we need a WR upgrade and would be all in for a WR1, if available, but giving Brady a WR1 means he has the best QB in the league, a Top 3 OL, Top 4 RB, Top Tier TE Room and what would be an upper third WR room with WR1, Shakir, Palmer and Coleman. 
 

OF COURSE he should be a beast with all that.  
 

And given the issues on our Defense seem systemic and numerous… WR1 seems to be the best way to mask the issues this team has.  Because the Defense likely needs a CB2, LB, S and potentially another piece on the DL.  No way we can address all that.

You don't.

 

More, the defense is 17th in points allowed and at least before week 5 they were 9th in yards allowed.

 

Using "can't stop a nosebleed" to refer to a team that is 9th ... well, it's just ridiculous.

 

But even if it wasn't so silly ... no, you just don't, not with a team that was 4 - 0 when you wrote this. And the three offensive turnovers were the reason we lost even though the defense didn't play great either.

 

 

It's all hypothetical but if it continues and ends with how the defense has looked in the playoffs under McDermott 

 

I think you find out

 

I'm not even anti McDermott, I'm very pro continuity and a joe Brady promotion would bring that

 

What if in this situation joe Brady says if promoted he is bringing Steve spanglo?
