Offense #2 in the league in rushing, and with 4 rushing TDs. Karlos Williams with 2, Dixon & Taylor with one each. The #1 offense in rushing TD's. #4 in offensive points, and # 16 in offensive yards. (Whoda thunk it)? Defense #24 in points against, 28th in yards allowed. 32nd in passing attempts, 32nd in passing yards allowed. #1 in rushing attempts, and #2 in rushing yards allowed.

OK Yolo I give up. What does PTBS mean? I've heard of PTSD. Please Text Back Soon? Pirates of The Burning Sea? Programmable True Bypass Switcher? Pine Tree Branch Station? Persistent Turn Based Server? Parking Transit Benefit System? Permanent Total Body Shimmying? Persistent Toxic Bioaccumulative Substances? Post Traumatic Brain Syndrome? Problematic Toy Bull Scheisse? Anyway, I'm not worried about the Bills secondary this week if the Bills play like they did against the Colts. If the defense plays like they did against the Patriots, and drop Kyle Williams into coverage or have Jerry Hughes covering Jordan Cameron then it could be a long day for Buffalo. The bigger concern is if the Miami defense stacks the box the entire game, and neither the Bills QB or OC can figure out a way to defeat it.

That's not what I said at all. In fact i mentioned "The Bills are 28th overall on total defense, 31st in pass defense, 2nd in the NFL in rush defense all for obvious reasons." Those obvious reasons were that the Patriots threw it 59 times while rushing it only 15 times. In your post you stated, "your looking at Rankings after 2 games ?????", and as I stated those rankings matter. Its not my fault Rex Ryan had his head up his posterior for the New England game. Lets hope he goes back to what worked against the Colts for this upcoming Miami game

Defensive struggle 10-17 with one team starting to drop like flies after the 4th quarter

Yep. I agree. This makes perfect sense! In the movie dumb, and dumber to one of the boys pretended to be catatonic for 20 years just to fool his friend into wiping his butt for so long.

gotta a player who plays CoD, and will let his play on the field do his talking for him !! Man, I hope Ryan doesn't out think himself again this game

Rankings matter no how many games are played. If the Bills were the #1 defense in the NFL after two games then I'm certain I'd be reading a lot more about it here. Many Bills fans were predicating the Bills having the number one defense this season, and it can't be anything other then disappointing to see the Bills near last so far. The Bills are 28th overall on total defense, 31st in pass defense, 2nd in the NFL in rush defense all for obvious reasons. 14th in sacks with only 4 after leading the league the last two years, and below is a big reason why. Will the Bills finish the year with these stats, doubtful. But then if Ryan keeps dropping his D linemen into pass coverage game after game it could get worse. A good coach understands what his players do best, and then puts them into position to achieve that. Dropping Kyle Williams into pass coverage instead of rushing the passer is a ridiculous way to utilize one of the leagues best DT's. Same thing with Jerry Hughes being asked to cover Gronk, and both things actually happened last game.

Neither actually,I think its going to be a defensive struggle this game. While Taylor is currently lighting it up in fantasy points I tend to stay away from Bills players because I always think they will do well, and once I start them they usually don't.

Yep. once the QB sees the defense move up closer to the line to stack 8/9 in the box. Just go to a spread offense with 3-4-5 WR's, and run slants to Sammy or Woods, or draws to Shady. The defense will need to go nickle or dime to cover the extra WR's, and that's where the miss match begins for the run game because now they have a DB covering the RB's instead of a LBer. What got me with Marrone / Hackett is when the defense stacked the box they went to a max protect package with extra TE's. Anyway, I still can't figure out why the Bills don't use Sammy in a lot of screen plays, as he was so good at that in College.

From Joe Buscagula All-22 review on Tyrod Taylor. 26) QB Tyrod Taylor "The blue print of how to stop Taylor is now out, and it’s on him to prove teams he can overcome the latest defensive scheme against him and regain some success for the team. On the first drive of the game, Taylor through short passes for yards after catch, and was able to use his legs. The drive resulted in a touchdown, and then the Patriots adjusted. They decided to take the short throws away from Taylor, kept eight-to-nine players in the box to take away his mobility, and dared him to throw it deep. Really, the Bills quarterback was just hesitant to do so, as it’s evidenced by the two tweets below: As the game went on, the Bills had to sling the ball around, and the Patriots backed off their game plan with the contest — at that point, at least — well in hand. Taylor will see a similar defense against the Miami Dolphins, and now it’s on him to correct the problem. If he doesn’t, it could very well be a festering problem. It’s still a bit too early for that, though. http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-all-22-review-grading-bills-vs-patriots While Taylor did struggle, there were still some positive takeaways from the game, especially when the Patriots built up a lead and allowed Taylor to have more time in the pocket. While this may not seem like much, Taylor showed plenty of arm talent which will be critical to the Bills' success moving forward. http://profootballspot.com/index.html/nfl/afc-east/buffalo-bills/buffalo-bills-all-22-review-week-2-vs-patriots-r12858/ Just the highlights will tell the story and notice how many the Patriots are sending after the score is 37-13. Pats rushed only four on the Woods TD, and only rushed with three on the Taylor run for a TD. Then the Pats defense only four on the Watkins TD. The Patriots changed their defensive game plan in the 4th QTR,and only rushed 4, and sometimes 3 while sending more into coverage. They stopped stacking the box with 8/ 9 /10 which gave Taylor more time in the pocket. http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/0ap3000000534033/Patriots-vs-Bills-broadcast-highlights

I honestly have no idea why Ryan stayed with that lame dropping in to coverage the entire game. Jerry Hughes on Gronk, and Kyle Williams dropping into coverage... I seriously doubt he will be foolish enough to think that Tallywacker is as big a threat as Brady and not blitz. Then knowing that the Dolphins O line could be missing Brandon Albert,and their TE's Cameron, Sims are not 100%. Then more good news is Cameron Wake had a hamstring issue, and RB Lamar Miller has had a bad ankle. I look for the Bills defense to go nuts on the Phins QB just like they did against Luck. I'm more concerned about the Bills getting their run game going to help out Taylor.

That going for it on fourth down at the 48 definitely came back to bite him in the ass That Patriot defense just isn't all that good, they are ranked 31st in the NFL right now. Re watch the game, and you should notice that after the start of the 4th qtr the Patriots never came after Taylor with more then four, and thus went into a prevent type defense, and that almost bit him in the ass too.

I don't think the NE defense is really all that good as they are currently ranked behind Buffalo at 31st. Then if NE can shut down the Bills O for three quarters by stacking the box with nine, ten defenders with Wake, and Suh. It could be really rough going for Buffalo if they don't figure out a way to move the ball against a stacked box. Penalties on Buffalo again. The heat in the 4th quarter 88+ degrees with 75% humidity wearing out the players. It used to be back in the late 80's-early 90's with Rusty Jones the Bills players looked in more shape then the Dolphins were. We will see this game.

I agree with the article. Ryan tried to change up his defensive scheme and it blew up in his face. I think the Patriots took their foot off the gas pedal in the fourth quarter on both defense and offense at 37-13 thinking they had the game well in hand. In a playoff scenario I could see the Patriots ending that game 50+ to 13. Anyway, the only thing I can think of is that Ryan didn't trust his secondary to get the job done against Brady, and he must have thought that he couldn't get a rush on Brady quick enough to deter those 1.7 sec releases. So instead of blitzing, and running the confusing alignments that the Bills used against the Colts. This game the Bills sometimes rushed only three D lineman, and had guys like Kyle Williams, Jerry Hughes dropping into coverage. This to me is insane as you never ask players to do something they are not designed to do. C'mon, Jerry Hughes covering Gronk is such a mismatch Belichick must have been beside himself laughing. All Ryan needed to do was watch how the Chiefs demolished Brady, and the Patriots last year in week four. Brady is just like any other QB in that if you hit him enough he will get out of rhythm, and make mistakes. In this game I was hoping Jerry Hughes would get a few personal fouls from late hits on Marsha, and that aint gonna happen when you are rushing only 3 or sometimes 4 D linemen being blocked by 4 or 5 O linemen. The Patriots knew they needed to help those three rookie O line players so they kept a TE, RB in to help block. Those Pats rookies were never really challenged all game from what I saw. In this game I came away with a few thoughts. The Bills offensive line is in serious trouble if the Patriots can stack the box like they did and completely shut down the Bills offense. Incognito is a stud at LG, but that one position can't help enough when the rest of the line plays poorly. The Patriots defense is not very good and mostly benefited from good coaching, and a good scheme. Sadly Buffalo was out coached on both sides of the ball for a lot of this game. This game I would have thought that Ryan, and his defense would have been licking their chops at the thought of getting to Brady thru the three rookies on that offensive line. I also thought Greg Roman would be testing that revamped Patriot secondary without Revis Island. That #4 overall defense from last season is now ranked 30th! So very disappointing!
