Jerry Jabber Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2014/12/15/defense-hasnt-allowed-passing-td-in-a-month/ "The Bills held Manning without a touchdown for the first time in 51 games, then held Rodgers, the league leader in touchdown passes to no scoring throws Sunday, but that’s been the case for Buffalo’s the defense the past four weeks now. Buffalo did not allow Michael Vick or Geno Smith to throw a touchdown pass back in Week 12 and Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel could not reach the end zone through the air either, though Manziel had a rushing score. Ryan Tannehill is the last quarterback to throw a TD pass against the Bills back in Week 11. In fact Tannehill’s two passing TDs in that Week 11 game are the only two passing touchdowns allowed by Buffalo since midseason. Opposing quarterback have not thrown a touchdown pass on the Bills in six of the last seven games." This is very impressive. I felt going into the season that the defense could be better under Schwartz than it was under Pettine. IMO, I feel the defense is getting better as the season goes on. I’m glad to see the secondary stepping up, especially Gilmore. Gilmore struggled at times during the season, but has been playing great as of late.
Jerry Jabber Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 “Can we finally give Gilmore his props?” Yes, I will. I was hard on him earlier this year as others were (including the guys on WGR). But Gilmore has stepped up his play and has been very impressive as of late. I hope he can keep it up.

K-9 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Imagine if we still had Byrd. We could have held teams to less than zero TD passes in a month. GO BILLS!!!
