3rdand12 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I agree with dried meat that the secondary is a big problem.... Maybe the problem is the way this defense is built... all that $$ on DL and they "cannot" get home because of weaknesses in the back. That's on Rex/Whaley then. maybe what we are learning is that the secondary is more important than the DL overall When Rex had his great defenses he had elite CBs, LBs and safeties and 1 great DT Bills have an elite secondary. But the drop off from the ones, Williams and Graham, has been an issue. Rambo and Duke have nearly screwed the team more than once. For shame. Edited October 11, 2015 by 3rdand12
TheFunPolice Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I think McKelvin's return is going to help a LOT
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I think McKelvin's return is going to help a LOT How exactly? He won't play in the slot, and I don't think they'll take Darby off the field. Yea, having him back will be great for depth and a veteran presence. But I don't think it will help A LOT

But Rambo and or Duke need to improve in the mental aspect and quick..
Deranged Rhino Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 They did!!!' Absolutely. The D was fantastic today.
OldTimer1960 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Yes, they weren't perfect, but did hold Tenn. to 13 points. I expected the offense to struggle without McCoy, Williams and Watkins and they definitely did. I am a bit disappointed that Robert Woods wasn't more involved. I think he is very good, but either he didn't get open or Taylor wasn't seeing him.
TheFunPolice Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Awesome job by the D! A win is always nice!

But yeah , the passing game was not there until the huge dime to Hogan. Reminded me so much of Minnesota last year.

BADOLBILZ Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 They did!!!' They started off shaky but got very good and made the rookie look like a rookie in the second half. People are going to b*tch about the offense but the D was not doing a good job getting off the field early and that allowed the Tacks to keep pinning the O back so the lack of production on offense was due in part to the D giving up a TON of small but productive plays. The D was going to have to dominate today because the RB's on this team are just terrible and the receiving corps is being exposed as 1 #1 and a bunch of nice 3's, when push comes to shove. Tenn really played it close to the vest....they punted inside Bills territory 3 or 4 times.....and it ended up costing them. Looked like the D cleared up some of their communication issues.
billsfan89 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 The D was very good, a little bend don't break in the first half but they constantly kept them from scoring only yielding the one field goal. The second half they gave up the lone TD on a short field and a field goal on a long drive. But the Defense kept the team in the game making the big plays. They got the turn over on the last drive but they also stood fairly strong esp when you consider how the offense was doing zero in the first half.
Lurker Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Marcus Mariota was 1-of-7 with an interception passing 10+ yards downfield Sunday. Since going 5-of-5 on such passes in his debut, Mariota has completed 41.9% attempts thrown 10+ yards downfield. (Per ESPN Stats and Info.)

YoloinOhio Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 If only he could play Tampa Bay every week of the season. haha. He's a good player but film is a b*tch. My lasting image of him before today was Joey Bosa grinding his shoulder into the ground in the national championship game last year. Glad it stays that way.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Awesome job by the D! A win is always nice! Wait I thought our over paid DL wasn't putting up enough stats, and now you care we won? Don't worry, the Broncos are leading the raiders.
T master Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The D saved this game today hands down ! The offense was asleep through out the game until the end ...

Like Tannehill......this may prove to be Mariota's weakness. The proliferation of the short passing game in college has created some situations where some highly regarded QB's are making it all the way to starting NFL jobs before teams know if they can accurately deliver the deep ball. How good TT can become is uncertain but it's no small thing that he throws the deep ball fairly well.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 It was said over and over that the Bills D was getting tired playing so much, but I think the Titans O-line also wears down having to defend them so long. Our line played better late, I think, because the Titans O-line got tired.
YoloinOhio Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 @hsimon62: #Bills D held Titans to 1 TD and 2 FG's on 11 drives. (TD came on drive start at Bills 39) 3.5 yards per carry and 179 pass yards.
