Domdab99 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 We are looking at a historically bad defense for the Bills. Has any Bills team given up this many points in 3 successive games? 34, 47, and 54 points given up...granted, some of it was due to TOs, but holy cow, this defense is a sieve. Watching the Chargers' backup RB get a ten-yard running start before being touched is not good. Poor pass rush, slow and under-sized LBs, and a decent secondary that can't carry the load. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chiefs put a 60-burger on this squad next week. 1

Domdab99 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Posted November 20, 2017 they do, but this defense is way worse
LEBills Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 No today it was the offense. Our defense sucks too, but today it was the turnovers that got us.
Jasovon Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 surely not! welcome to the land of the sane

The D was awful today, stop one play please. And O, score some points, Shady was on it for a few plays... Edited November 20, 2017 by Heitz
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 They both suck badly. Both needs major improvments
CuddyDark Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 All of these defensive players were playing well when they had Marcell. People don't like it bit it's true. Bill had a formula. Play defense, score 20 points. Win games. McDermott read his own press and believe he was a football god. Well he ain't. He still needs players.
BillsFan130 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 They are historically bad the past 3 weeks
Real McClappy Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 The D has been toasted 3 weeks straight, I'd start right there actually. The running lanes between the gaps and holes in the secondary are now worse than a Rex Ryan D. What a friggin rough ass day

Gray Beard Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Other than KW95, who are the D-linemen? Why are LBs covering receivers, and CBs are tackling runners? How can a run up the middle go for 5+ yards EVERY. SINGLE. TIME? How can a RB carry the pile for over 5+ yards? Etc.., Etc., Etc. So many things about this defense that I don't understand.
Teddy KGB Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Looks like the Buffalo Bills. The drought continues with no end in sight ?
Wayne Cubed Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 To be fair to the defense, the did stop the first non pick-6 Nat Peterman int. But then, ya know, they still had 3 more to go. The first 20 points came off of turnovers... I mean, yea the defense can only do so much.

No...its a 3 game franchise record...shocking when you think back to how bad the D was under Wannstadt when Gailey was here that one year...
JPP Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 It was the always the defence since we let the jets gassed us for like 200 yards and than NO for another 300 yards.....everyone well just some here thought you change the QB and majico!! we will win again.......same problems...today just started with the INT's on like every drive in the 1st half......sheesh.....put frigin Taylor in and fire Dennision would be a good thing and maybe scheme to our QB's positive traits instead of trying to make him into a pure pocket passer (which he is not)......there is no other option right now......and i dont and never will buy into the stupid theory of losing games and blowing a season for the draft..... 1
PastaJoe Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 This is the most points the Bills have allowed over three games in a season since the final three games of 1976, when they gave up 130.
unclepete Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 5 interceptions is a real problem. But I agree, the D is a larger issue.
