Man, not looking good in the secondary. Hyde hurt, now Wallace, Norman, and Marlowe out.
Anyone with a pulse will have to play. We might have to pull a Seattle and blitz all game long and hope to get to the QB enough.
Yeah, was there anyone who thought the Bills would run so little? Even in heavy passing attacks teams run more often than that. So yeah, I think everyone was surprised that the Bills ran so little. Bills fans were certainly surprised. So I don't get why people are attacking his comment.
"Playing not to lose" is the appropriate approach sometimes.
We can't be so rigid. Being too aggressive when you really should drop into coverage will burn you. Each game and each down of football requires a unique approach.
I do like it when our defense is aggressive, but there are times (like earlier in the year when we blitzed Fitz over and over and he picked apart the defense) that I want to bleeding to stop and the defense to change their approach. I feel like the team needs to be very nimble. One aggressive approach will not get it done.
Belichick has made plenty of good trades over the years. And he takes the "sunk cost" mentality and moves on from players that don't work out quickly. But his drafting has always been below average. Now, part of that may be he is always drafting so low.
He seems to neglect certain positions, though, like WR and RB.
