3rd and 12 soft zone automatic first down followed by a long run for TD

 

Standard for this D 

If we had taken a timeout before the third down it would have been just vintage McDefense.

3rd and 12 and we play prevent 🤣

[Iverwig]

This defense sucks! Babich or not if it’s this bad and the HC is a defensive coach he’s to blame as well. 

[colin]

Same ish, different pile.

 

Sixth straight year of prime Allen and no ability to stop explosive runs.

[Psautcsk]

3rd and 12. Wide open receiver sitting down in the zone.

[wppete]

At what point to coaches start getting fired? If McDermott won’t do it then maybe he is the one to go.

[Bray Wyatt]

Our linebackers are the reason for that run, no where near the play

Wide open too. Why are they so bad on 3rd down?!

Soft zone!!! Every fi'n time.

[Kelly to Allen]

The third down defense just sat in a zone. Wtf. Then run defense looks like trash. Like come on guys

[Juice_32]

We need new LBs, lots of new LBs

[BananaB]

Both TDs Bosa crashes inside. He might be the worse edge setting DE the league’s

It was great to see, but honestly that's just NFL WR level play.  Taking 0 off the pitch improves is a lot!

Well…maybe I’ve already had too much to drink and am easily excited. 

[Kirby Jackson]

Honestly, fire McDermott. 3rd and 12 can’t be as easy as 3rd and 1. That soft zone is disgusting. 

[JerseyBills]

Bernard and Milano are atrocious 

 

Really didn't expect to be saying this

[EssexBill]

It wouldn’t be the bills if they didn’t allow a 30+ yards TD run. 
 

Hopefully a double dip now and some defensive adjustments in the second half like they did against Atlanta and Carolina

Nice block in the back on poyer and yes when you see the numbers 21 that is a block in the back ref

Like Poyer would've made a play anyways. There was no way he was catching the runner. My grandma runs faster than him

I’m more pissed about the 3rd and 12. McDermott and that soft ***** zone on third and long. We give at least one up EVERY GAME. He must go.

What is he so scared of?? Even if you play aggressive and give up a long TD your precious defense is off the field…
