This is freaking embarrassing. This D can't stop anything

2 TDs and a FG in 3 possessions. Only 3 possessions in the half! What does that tell you about the defense? Do your part!

You would think with the offense just chugging that the D would contribute something. I'd be embarrassed as a defensive player to look at my offense in the locker room. They flat out suck right now.

This D is difficult to watch

Man, I'm really trying to be optimistic when it comes to this defense but they are not getting it done. Sure you can say they only gave 6 points so far but they look underwhelming.

The D will give them plenty of time to look at.

I kinda miss the designed. QB runs

On the bright side, the defense is getting the offense plenty of rest.😒

What an effin catch!!👍

Looks like the only way this defense gets in the backfield is if someone blows an assignment.

Cautiously optimistic. Which version are we getting? Bright side will be if he returns to "Carolina" form in the scheme he excels in and has a resurgence. Dark side will be if he reverts to his "Washington" form and gets toasted frequently and eventually injured. Hopefully he pushes Levi to be a better player.

PUSH. Tie goes to the OP🤣

There are a few players on the squad currently that are raising concern, to me at least. Harrison Phillips is getting pushed around way too much, probably not 100% yet. Levi Wallace, but not totally his fault. When an All Pro is on the other side you're gonna get picked on, especially if you're not starter material. Jerry Hughes (0 sacks and 1 assist in 3 games) YIKES! Trent Murphy (1 sack and 0 assists). Edmunds is not the least of my worries, he still shows flaws. But he's a freak athlete and very young learning a demanding position. There's more promise than concern when it comes to him. He will still have a place here if the whole MLB thing doesn't work out.

Darnold is no Josh Allen.

I know right! Talk about making yourself "flame proof". 😆 Good post though OP. I'd love to see the team make a push for Snacks Harrison. I'd even give Earl Thomas a call to bolster our Safety position.

I'm a little more concerned about the Raiders. Titans and Bears are the weakest 3-0 teams out there. Titans have barely, and I mean barely beat the Broncos, Jags and Vikings on a last second FG. Bills offense is much stronger than any of those.

Poyer has been absolutely playing with fire since his extension. Dawkins has played well also . Love seeing guys earn it.

Gotta be honest. I was a bit embarrassed when they did post game interviews and were speaking with Kroft. I did not recognize who he was. I had no idea what this kid looked like. He hasn't really stood out in any way outside of the injury report since signing here. Good for him though, he played well.

Seattle's defense has been worse than ours. They've been absolutely awful.

Baldy really puts together a great review and the end zone camera views are incredible. Really gives you the QBs perspective and shows the precision of those beautiful throws. Oh and Baldy, Kelly retired in 96 not 86. All good though, keep those reviews coming

Currently The Bills are ranked 16th. Ahead of teams like Seattle, Dallas, GB, Saints and Houston. The D's shortcomings can't be singled out by any one specific player. It's a team sport and the unit is only as good as its scheme and how the scheme is executed. It's always 11 vs. 11. The players will eventually get on point but the coaches also have to put them in position to succeed.

I mean the OP is not exactly wrong and if you think the D just had a bad day you'd be sadly mistaken. This has become all too common since Houston last year. The D has needed the the O to bail them out this season. That is not sustainable.

Surprises: 1. Daboll's playcalling, but to be fair he probably needed Josh to improve and an infusion of talent before it could happen. 2. Gabriel Davis. 4th rounder playing well beyond his raw rookie status. 3. The NFL. The fact they were able to save this season during the pandemic with barely a hiccup is remarkable. Disappointment: 1. Overall Defense. The regression is shocking. 2. The dreaded 3rd Quarter woes continue. 3. Inability to finish teams off. No killer instinct.

Combination of many things. 1. Injuries 2. Scheme and defensive playcalling 3. Still not stout enuff up front. 4. No consistent QB pressure 5. Lack of CB depth opposite Tre 6. Lackadaisical (especially 3rd qtr) 7. No killer instinct, need to put teams away.

When the D is on the field as long as these guys have been and you're not getting to the QB or causing TO's you're gonna get tired. Tre like every other elite DB works best when he only has to cover the route that's being run. Once the freelancing starts the advantage goes to the receiver. They have to get consistent pressure.
