They're fourth in yards per game, even though the offense has serious trouble staying on the field. More amazing is that they're 16th in points per game, even though they've had games where the opponents seemed to be scoring in the NBA-range.

Madd Charlie Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Think about how much the defensive starters have been on the field this year with the horrible offence. Also consider that the Bills were well aware that they play the Pats at home on Monday and i'm sure they wanted to give their best players a little bit of a break.

Expand Don't you think you attribute some of that to our offense not scoring? The Colts could have racked up 600+ yards if they needed to. The defense is definitely feast or famine.

IgotBILLStopay Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 they were having success blitzing Luck in the first quarter. Wonder why they apparently went away from it. I think the first TD drive by the colts followed by the Clay turnover completely unnerved the Bills.
freddyjj Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 White and Hyde (both nicked coming in) were rested late in game opening the door for Dontae Johnson and Rafael Bush to get more snaps

I don’t plan to rewatch the game to find out that’s for sure. Once was more than enough

If it was when the game was out of hand, then it would make sense that certain, key players were taken off the field in favor of getting them some rest and other players some experience. Expand Makes tremendous sense to consider this context - would be nice to confirm. Either way, if they tinker during garbage time I'm fine with it. To be honest, the rest of the season is all but garbage time right now, so I'm more amenable to tinkering to see what works and what doesn't for given scenarios. Maybe even try new coverages/disguised coverage schemes. If our offense isn't going anywhere, might as well use the season to really find out what this D is made of, as well as develop our rookies on both sides of the ball.
