Excellent points! Sad to say that most of the fans just don't see this, and keep asking what is wrong with the defense. Before Yesterday Jerry Hughes one sack, Kyle Williams one sack, Marcell Dareus one sack, Mario Williams three sacks in seven games. After yesterday Jerry Hughes getting two sacks he now has three sacks, and nobody else had a sack. Kyle Williams isn't Pat Williams, and one is a space eater while the other is a quicker, faster gap penetrator. The same thing with Dareus, as the team didn't spend a #3 overall pick on the guy hoping he is a pure gap controller. If you ask a DE that weighs 254 lbs to constantly take on a 300+ lb OT, and perhaps be chipped by the TE, RB he won't ever get to the QB. Because that same thing is happening on the other side to the heavier 292 lb DE. That wide nine defense put Hughes, Mario on the outside of the OT's shoulder which gave them a faster path to the QB, and made the offense spread out. Thus leaving wider gaps in the line, and when the LBers stepped up to plug those gaps pre snap the O linemen don't know who is coming and who isn't. This scheme clearly allowed the defense to get more pressure on the QB more often while also helping the secondary because the QB was forced to make reads faster, and get the ball out faster. Thus forcing the QB prone to making more mistakes.

Whaley still has his warts, and winning sure does hide them well. The more the team wins the less fans will look at the mistakes, and there have been many mistakes. Should the Bills somehow make the playoffs this season I doubt anyone will listen to anyone saying anything negative about the man.

This is what I think about, because I'm not looking forward to that Patriots game in two weeks. Especially If Ryan runs that same soft coverage scheme with the DB's 10 yards off the line. Even Fitz with his quick release is a concern. 16 first downs passing to Tallywhacker! Currently the Bills are #15 overall in total defense, but still 22nd against the pass. 27th in sacks, 29th in sack percentage. Rex Ryan says he isn't worried about sacks, and yet those pressures, hurries, hits are all so important to how well a defense does. When the team doesn't get pressure on the QB it causes so much more problems for the secondary, and means they have to stay in pass coverage longer. Considering how bad the Bills are this year in getting pressure on the opposing QB it just shows me how good a job Gilmore, Darby, Robey are playing this year. What really bothers me is that this years defense really could have been so special in the right scheme.

Whats worse is when you actually break down those first downs. Rushing they had 6 first downs Passing they had 16 first downs By penalty 7 first downs The Bills 13 penalties for 93 yards.

No need to apologize because I think a lot of us fans are very disappointed in this years D. I get a sinking feeling on how Ryan is going to give the Jets a whole lot of bulletin board material this week, and what the teams defense will look against the Patriots in two weeks.

So true. I know I was expecting real greatness from this years defense, and it caught me thinking that this years defense could be one of the best all time, like the 85 Bears with his father Buddy Ryan as DC, Or the 2000 Ravens with Rex as the D line coach. If Schwartz can get to #4 in the NFL in total defense, and #1 in sacks. Then Rex Ryan and his blitz happy Jets scheme like it was under Pettine then it should be even better. Rex Ryan stating before the season that this is the most talent he has ever had on a defense. This years defense is frustratingly mediocre, and I would have never thought that Ryan would be the type of defensive coach that forces players to fit his system rather then focus on what his players do best. At this point Schwartz is making Ryan look mediocre

This is exactly what Rex & Roman stated they would do with this years offense. 20 passes, and 35+ runs. Tayor 11 of 12 for 154, and the RB's 36 rushes for 266 yards rushing. What was so great about today's offense was the passing yard per pass was 10.3, and yards per rush was 7.4. I gotta tell ya I loved this style off offense! That deep bomb to Sammy was a thing of beauty!

This next game really is a playoff game to see who gets that WC spot. 5-4 vs 5-4 OR 4-5 vs 6-3, and the next game for Buffalo is at current 8-0 NE! The Jets next game is at current 3-5 Houston

Now that the Bills FO can see what a really good OG in Richie Incognito can do for a team you think they will change their minds about drafting an offensive linemen with a first round pick? Man, i hope the Bills find a way to resign him.

seriously funny, great nickname

Not what I'm hearing from LaCanfora in the NFL today earlier today. This! who said he is done in SF

Man, did he ever. Sammy 8 receptions 168 yards, 1 TD Woods 1 target 0 yards

Bills ripped Miami up today with all those returning injured players.

Robert Woods 1 Target, 0 catches Woods is the decoy today

Roman, nowTHAT's why you don't let Tyrod run it!!

hahaha Rex telling Roman to stop having Tyrod run it He heard you guys!

Hope the offense continues to look this good the rest of the year

Jerry Hughes BLITZ!

Tallywhacker 300 yards passing

Not after giving up 21 pts to Jags so quickly

Bills better get him some help against Suh

& KARLOS !!

McCoy, Tyrod, and SAMMY!
