Did you value the Lions win? It was basically against a 2nd team defense. Same with the 49ers. But we really don't talk about those things. We only talk about when it impacts us. When the reality is we aren't even that banged up compared to other teams. I doubt we have been historically but the idea has been allowed to build for so long now. It's just what our fans go to. Yesterday I remember in the game day thread a guy saying the defense sucks and then another guy saying, well, we have 4 starters out! It's almost January. Who doesn't have 4 starters out?

Since week 8 this defense is the worst in football from an EPA standpoint without turnovers. With turnovers we rank 26th.

We constantly overestimate the impact of injuries on us vs other teams. It's just what we do. It's a nice way to justify why things did or didn't happen how we expected and it always works because the actual impacts can't fully be measured and nobody has the time to research the context with other teams.

It's in this thread about 6 posts down

Sure about that?

In EPA they rank 4th and we rank 15th. Since week 8 they rank 3rd and we rank 26th. I'm harsh on the Bills and not them because our defense is trash. Houston's is not. Not very complicated. I don't have to selectively pick games (which ironically you're actually doing in this post).

They're in the top 5 in just about every defensive metric advanced or otherwise and news flash, you dismissing something doesn't mean its actually dismissed nor it's even logical. You're talking about wins and losses as a way to discredit the defense they play then undermining it;s contribution to the games to somehow align with your argument which is very bizarre to be perfectly honest. Allen had the worst game of his career against them. Goff the worst game all season.

I have observed Jay Skurski a lot over multiple years, with multiple binoculars, and while all of this sounds rather creepy, I can confirm Jay Skurski was in fact irritable.

I just don't think we take those games as seriously as the Jets and Dolphins and they certainly do. We seemed to handle them better post Brady when they were actually competitive.

I like the subtle neck roll look

They have one of the best defenses in football. 77 for 133, average of 197 yards, 7 TD and 10 INT's vs Allen, Love, Tua, and Goff. Lowest pass completion % in a game since 1970, setting the record twice in the same season. Just because KC played them well doesn't invalidate some really elite games they have had against good teams

Agree, its the whole "not lose your mind part". Imagine needing to really trust or believe in somebody seconds after an extreme emotional outburst? How could you maintain confidence in that moment? Not about crying.

This is what you listen to when you fall asleep isn't it? Ya it is....Sicko

I call him Mr. Phil Hanson and he watches the game in the living room with me

I agree, It upset my pet bull

What is the value of a middle aged linebacker that didn't play for a season? I'm sure that is what you got flack for.

He will be a top 10 guy eventually

This is the blue print against Josh as far as slow contain the edges. Controlled rush.

It's funny how much McD talks about complimentary football. The defense is not capable of complimenting the offense.

What is your point? This is like the 700th time in this iteration of the Bills we came out without a pulse. You think we have 4 straight games of high intensity football against good teams?

Week 2

Patriots offense is looking more like the Bengals with how they’re playing. We can’t hold up against short accurate passes and power football.

Off a big game we come out flat. Never saw this movie before

Rookie QB or a Greg Roman offense that we have owned vs a Bengals QB who is 17 for 17 on opening drives vs us with 3 TD. Gee..... Well, the Rams defense is 27th.
