Yea London had nothing to do with today, last week, and likely the Jags games itself.

*sigh* Bills MUST acquire a capable replacement for DaQuan Jones, whose DT position responsibilities are different than Ed Oliver’s.

There must be some NTs on the market who, at the least, can eat double teams.

If you have 2 competent DTs in the middle, all is fine.

I think this is just a defense thread. Let’s keep it defense.

Of Puna, Settle, and Ford, only Ford has been a solid NT in the NFL. He has been a massive disappointment so far in this scheme. You can only “coach up” so much. Seattle hasn’t been reliable since day one, and Phillips is 340 but plays 290 and always seems to be falling down. Tell me where I’m telling lies.

The DT depth is awful and the Puna Ford gamble did NOT pay off.

Hopefully I can get this in before this thread gets buried. Bills had their backup 1T and 3T today, and the guys backing them up are a practice squad player and a guy who had been inactive. The lack of NT was detrimental to the DL, you could see it start when Jones went out but losing Oliver was the kiss of death. Poor DTs + small LBers results in what we saw today. I love our small LBers too, but this defensive performance was predictable. All the talk of the offense, but Bills MUST bring in a legitimate NT by the trade deadline.

And a brutal drop

Jordan Phillips is an ok 1T, Settle is garbage. 3T is a massive weakness, it’s super important to the defense and we have no one.

The Puna Ford gamble was a massive miss right now, this team is toast without another NT.

Bills need to make a notable move at NT. Ford, Settle, and Phillips are rotational guys only. Vickers is garbage.

Where do I sign? Ken Dorsey Offense is clearly a bad fit for Josh Allen.

What did people expect with Phillips and Settle? We knew the DL would struggle today.

We’ve seen Allen throw picks on that route combo before…

I noticed Diggs in the slot, makes me wish we had 2 consistent outside guys.

They have had pretty mediocre QB play. If BB can get a decent QB I think they are competitive again.

Brown tripped, and there were 2 other fights going on.

I meant when we have a healthy Matt Milano as well.

I think not having Jones and Oliver will cause trickle down effect and we may be surprised by the level that the defense struggles, but I think the offense takes care of business. 34-21 Buffalo.

I hope so! I love Taron Johnson, but I think the coaches would love the opportunity to sub Dorian Williams in for Johnson on some situations.

He was like 26-26 before the game, he’s fine. Just saw the video of Allen breaking the huddle before the game last week. I’m so happy there is still someone yelling “I love you Josh Allen” in a high pitched voice 😂 Cole Beasley would be proud.

It’s like a high impact hug. You’ll feel pretty good after. This is my hug technique recommendation.

I think, without Oliver, you see a dip in the overall performance of the defense. Ford, Settle, and Phillips do not demand double teams, which will have a negative impact on the DEs on passing downs and LBers on rushing downs. If the DEs are being hemmed up, that creates problems with our secondary which isn’t all that athletic. That is the trouble I was talking about, there is a path that the Empire could take advantage of our DT depth. Not saying we lose, we just won’t have the defensive performance we are all expecting potentially.

What kind of turf are they using?
