billykaykay Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I thought for sure he was going to get called on PI on the play where he hit the guy at THE EXACT MOMENT the ball touched him One of the best timed hits I have ever seen CBF The refs let them play last night. What a more enjoyable game when you don't have to scan the field for yellow after every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Secondary is now the strength of the defense. LB's are the weak link, and Rex's scheme if just not getting the most out our expensive front 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point here! I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs every time we make a good play in a game. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 @RyanTalbotBills Ronald Darby: Defensive Rookie of the Year Frontrunner http://www.scout.com/nfl/bills/story/1611368-ronald-darby-frontrunner-for-droy #Bills I just looked at Peters numbers. In 8 games, as opposed to Darby's 9, he's had at 60% completion rate as less than 50% for Darby. A 101.7 QB rating against, vs. 51.5 for Darby. Seven, seven, seven touchdowns allowed by Peters as opposed to zero by Darby. Yet Peters is getting more DROY votes. It's staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) we Bills fans really do have something to get excited about with this secondary! They look better each game. Having Leo back is sweet too. wow Gilmore and Darby wow. Rex and Thurman must be delighted. Edited November 14, 2015 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo guys get no respect......it has to do with the small market perception of most of the country. Thats why its so sweet to beat the Jets in NY...or anytime for that matter. You can say with 100% certainty that Gilmore's progress was not close to as fast as Darby's. He was very inconsistent his first two years, whereas Darby has been the model of consistency this season. Add to that the fact that Gilmore was aided by a far superior safety tandem of Byrd and Searcy and you get a better picture of the incredibly quick growth of Darby's game.

Saxum Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Best part of the college scouting staff who saw Karlos Williams who the staffing department saw as key sign in latter half of draft but no one even else even interviewed; I know he had some unsubstantiated baggage but I think part of it was switching from defense to offense.

The Bills had that luxury with McCoy already as their main guy. I don't think they even anticipated he would assimilate so quickly - when he looked the part in TC I think that mostly led to Fred's eventual exit.

John from Riverside Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I am just gonna go ahead and say it I think Darby has become our best corner.......and that is no slight to Gilmore who I absolutely think should be resigned. Because the bills dont flip their DBs when WR's change their assignment.......Darby gets his fair share of lining up against the gronks....the marshalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In only his second pro game. MNF will be fun because I have zero expectations of winning yet Rex has more options on D this time than last IMO.

With Leo back and looking good it will be hard to pick on our corners even one on ones. pretty stoked about this game honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I still like to keep football simple...and I still think this is the way u beat the patriots - Long time consuming drives moving the chains with points at the end - Force Brady to throw short.....tackle immediately......get him off the field on 3rd down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 When you force Brady to throw short, have Darby, McKelvin, and Gilmore play at the LOS. Really jam them and with Gronk put a second guy to bracket him like they did against Gonzalez in ATL a couple of years ago. The defensive line now gets 4 seconds to get to Marsha and hammer him!!!!

Sounds good, but they will try to confuse the situation with rub (pick) plays and bunch formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
