Billsfan1972

Of course they did. They played lights out and this is the problem here, people don't want to admit some pretty obvious issues. We can all agree that Allen is not himself, but all expect him to bounce back (because if he doesn't this team is toast). Yesterday they did a good job on Chubb, but Cleveland botched a FG, didn't convert in the redzone, Bills got lucky on a bad snap (fumble) and stopped them on 4th down. I more then anyone want the defense to play better, but hard to watch. BTW look at what other Defenses did yesterday Balt, NYJ, NE, Dallas, Washington.... When we have needed the Defense to come up big vs. NYJ & Minn, they did not.

Look in the mirror. This board is full of people. I'm pointing out observations I have. We all know there are injuries. But be honest the defense has been bad. Tired of but but but....

No it doesn't......😉 Not the point. People here love to take sides and the apologists for McD continue to always double down. I have no crusade at all, I just point out facts and it is pretty obvious that the defense has not done the job when called upon. The Bills are 7-3 & yes we know Allen really has been really out of sorts of late, but the defense was as much or more to blame then Allen vs. NYJ & Minnesota.

Won last time out. It was a joke, but the fact he looked decent last time was concerning.

Or 86 yard td runs?

Better answer would be "Bring on the Bills"

Thought I'd resurrect this since I went dark since the Vikings game. Yes a win vs. Cleveland, but they are garbage, but Brissett, Pickett, Wilson & Cousins all gashed the Bills. Only some timely plays saved the Bills in many cases.

And Dallas went into Minnesota and allowed 3 points...... Yea I get injuries, but they have been meh to bad of late. Quit grasping at straws.....

That was the point. He made plays when needed, completed 72% of his passes and made big plays, including a game winning 86 yard drive. But more then competent vs. the Bills defense.

Jets scored 3 today however vs. the Bills walked up and down the field. Yes 20 points but TOP they manhandled the Bills. No way Wilson should have done that vs. them.

After a week not looking at the board, this was the first thread I saw and yes they have not been good. Think I started one a while ago and was told how wrong I was. They are hard to watch. Every QB torches them (though points may not always be scored) and allowing everyone to look good. They make some big plays plays & stops, but that masks that overall they've been weak and cost them the Minnesota & NYJ games.

Got to love Cousins

No pressure all game

And if that bogus phantom hold wasn't called that cost the Bills 37 yards (27 yard pass completion turned into a 10 yard loss) that last drive, I think the Bills score and the discussion is that Allen threw two bad Ints and I don't mention the defense (though it's in the back of my mind).😝

It was eff'ing Zach Wilson dictating the pace of play and marching them down the field. Sorry not acceptable.

Always excuses. Long clock killing drives take the air out of a team. They didn't pressure for theist part and allowed dink and dunks and 72% completion %.

And yes that changed the entire tenure of the game. But to me the non-hold on Dawkins the final two-minutes sealed it. Two plays, both cost the Bills 35 yards field position and one 7 minute of game time.

They picked up 18 yards on first & 20 and then imploded.

Not disagreeing, but the Defense was not good vs. the Jets is my point. Yes they allowed only 20 points but allowed Wilson & the Jets to control the ball & clock, which I'm convinced is the reason for Allen's second pick after sitting on the sideline for a 9 minute drive. BTW you forgot to mention the phantom hold on fist down (finally watched the replay and absolutely no hold) and Diggs caught the ball inside the 50.

Allowing Zach Wilson to go up-and-down the field in time consuming drives to me that's being gashed. Again it's not how many points they scored it's the fact that they controlled the ball for so long.

Again allowing the Jest these dink & dunk drives lies on the coaches, but some here take it personally when they are mentioned (especially McD). Regardless the Bills were not particularly sharp vs. Balt, Miami second half vs. GB and the Jets. Sorry this team should be scoring 40+ a game, but the opposition now has the blueprint, which is time consuming drives and keep Buffalo's Offence off the field and then they panic and want to score.

And most gave them the pass because they were up in the game was never in doubt. However versus the Jets inexcusable.

And holding the ball for 7-8 minutes drives does not have a negative effect on the team? Asking for a friend

Allowing long, time consuming drives, whether points or not, put the offense in a hole. Really Wilson & the Jets picked apart the Bills Defense. That's a bad look. I posted this thread like yesterdays, because little has been made of the Defense being gashed the last 6 quarters. Can only imagine Belichek looking forward and Mac Jones doing the same.

Again no one wants to blame the Defense. They have allowed offenses to gash them. Yes Allen has had a bad 6 quarters, but when the Defense allows Wilson (really Chad) to grind out 7-8 minute drives, that is not great. This is the new blueprint vs. the Bills, keep the offense off the field and yes when they finally get on the field that get Antsy (Allen & Dorsey) and want points. Surprise, always defending the Coaches.
