Would you also like to bet?

Enlighten us.

He loses one on one battles. Let me rephrase: he never wins one on one battles. Playmaker my foot.

Wanna bet?

And the 21 year old with 111 yds and 2 TDs showed the 10 year vet how leaders behace

YES

Wanna bet?

Because you like the team and enjoy football? Why would anyone post on the internet about this team?

The only place some of them should have been deployed is Siberia. I'm talking about the likes of John DiGiorgio, John Corto, Jeff Posey, Angelo Crowell, Nick Barnett, Kelvin Shepphard, Bryan Scott, Reggie Torbor, Akin Ayodele, Keith Ellison...I have to stop. I'm sorry. This is a very depressing list.

LB's have been a liability for this team for a decade. That's not an exaggeration. 2014 was the lone exception. Can we may be start calling that what it probably was: a fluke?

Dareus would be a monster @ 3-4 DE and Bryant has been playing very well the past few weeks.

Dude, for the last week I have been wondering how much of an impact Harris has had. I too think it would have been huge. Where's WR? If you're 7th...is that really a need? Or at least a priority>

Well, there's no chance they're sticking with the 4-3 but that doesn't mean they go through a re-build. Really, the only missing piece is a NT. Which is a shame, because lord knows those guys don't grow on trees. Mario can actually be a great 3-4 DE, convincing him of as much...well, that's the hard part. KWilliams is the oddman out, however. But LB's with Bradham gone and with Brown, Lawson and Hughes really only need one more pass rushing OLB. And, as we always knew, safety is a big need for this team, with or without AW back. There will definitely be some shuffling in the offseason, but I think it's unfair to characterize it as a rebuild.

That's the whole point. I hope you don't mean to criticize AW. The real takeaway is the leadership vacuum left in the locker room upon Fred's departure.

Tight end number one? Sorry, I stopped reading right there. NT S MLB RT QB OLB That's the correct order.

Um...the whole argument is whether the defense is mediocre because of his coaching or because of external factors. Just because you found somebody on PFT (lol) that says it's all on him, that does virtually nothing to move the needle.

The defense is not ruined. The argument rages on due in large part to horse **** hyperbole like that. You know which defense this year's is better than? Every Bills defense since Dick Jauron save last year. That includes 2013. Get some perspective.

Hired Roman and went after Tyrod. There are many other things, but let's begin by filling your pre-supposed vacuum with something we (presumably) all agree on,

First off, that's not true. Second: If there's one thing Internet message boards are known for, it's their preference for reasonable, thoughtful analysis over knee-jerk emotional outcry. Any remotely intelligent person would take your observation as a compliment.

??

I'm not saying that injuries are the sole cause. I'm countering the notion that coaching is the sole cause.

It's also worth noting that Trapasso's number doesn't count IR'd Gilmore and AWilliams and KWilliams, so make that six more, and go ahead and add-in Bradham for this Sunday. That puts us at 36 missed starts for the defense, which is inching dangerously close to THREE TIMES AS MANY MISSED DEFENSIVE STARTS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. Please stop arguing that Rex ruined the defense from last year and we know this because the personnel is identical.

dude, come ON, that is CATEGORICALLY false. how many times do we have to post the same damn thing: Spikes, gone Searcy, gone AWilliams, injured week 2 KWilliams, missed the last 10 games Bradham's been out @ChrisTrapasso Perspective: In 2014: #Bills D starters missed total of 13 games due to injury. In 2015 thru Week 14: #Bills D starters have missed 29 games http://twitter.com/C...445403626115073 People keep saying defensive personnel is a carbon copy from 2014, that's simply not true. So if that's what your argument is based on, it tells me everything i need to know.

Mario and Kyle, yes. Bradham, may be. The rest you made up.

Who said anything about blowing up the roster? No, I don't agree that game day management cost any games this year. KC scored on six consecutive drives. Challenging a catch in the first quarter wouldn't have changed ****. I haven't changed the subject nor my argument...for nine years on this board. I won't tell anyone they don't have the right to be upset. But if you're pissed that he changed things, that's a bit shortsighted. There's this very strange misconception that by saying the coach isn't solely to blame for what's happened this year, that means I'm happy with how the year turned out. Very strange indeed. How come a decade's worth of players on two separate teams had no issues learning his scheme? Why won't somebody address that fact?
