10/13/2025 Bills at Falcons - 1st half game thread

[boyst]

But he's a defensive genius!!!!!

 

But but...

We are hurt

We have no safeties

He's not the DC

We have old CB...

 

Bills fans who make excuses like this live in a vacuum. Every team is made up similar to us and doesn't constantly blow it

[BillsFan130]

Here comes our usual offensive lawl after the first drive. Happens basically every game

It’s impossible to make excuses for the defense anymore.  
 

Defensive minded head coach

Tons of draft capitol 

Multiple FA focuses. 
 

All equal bottom tier defense.  It’s on everyone 

Tons of FA money too.

 

McDermott is destroying this team

[H2o]

If we go 3 and out here, we're in trouble 

[ImpactCorey]

The Panthers shut this team out.

[sven233]

I hate to say it because he's been really good for us for a long time, but TJ is on a downward trend.

 

And when you couple that with Rapp and Tre in the secondary, and throw on top of that no pass rush, it's a recipe for disaster.

 

Also.....it would be nice if we had a WR like London.

[HappyDays]

Atlanta came in ready to shut down the run. Keep passing downfield. We will need 30 in this one to escape with a tight win

Don’t. It’s 100% the defense as usual 

[JBI$111]

Swiss cheese defense per usual McDummy, you and Babich suck! The always used and rarely effective soft nickel and soft zone!!!

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

Did they practice this week?
 

[Success]

Did the announcer call McD one of the best defensive  minds in the game?

What’s worse is that the FO is good with how awful their safeties are.  

And WRs, and CBS, and they are awful picking DL and yet that's where they use the most assets

[BRH]

The run on first down to get to the end of the quarter was so predictable

[The 9 Isles]

The Bills might not be that good.

I can’t wait to see people on here blame anyone but McDermott for this train wreck of a defense. Same ***** every season.

We have to throw in Beane & scouts crappy drafting as well. We have a bunch of meh players on defense. 

[rajinka]

I remember when we were atleast good in the red zone. Mahomes will probably put up 49 on us

It's not too early to tell with Bishop. He sucks. 

[JMM]

McDermott having to tell Cole where to line up. Seriously?????

[White Linen]

We've given Sean too many resources for this to be the defense.  Teams have figured him out or something.  It's broken and now we're a dumb, unprepared team far too often too.
