Stank_Nasty Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 is there anyway we could preface this whole thread with "total yardage" defense. its pretty clear they aren't the top "overall" defense.

Expand There you go, Stank. Although, I can't believe this thread is even still a thing. This was very much more of a Fall NFL season thing, as opposed to a Holiday or Winter one.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Too bad they could shut down 11 and 9 play scoring drives led by a rookie QB they didn't sack or even hit for the entire game yesterday. 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 when you say number two ...... is it the "stinky" two? Just as I was thinking the D was bringing the heat .... the f ing Jets scores the leading TD.

Expand This year i think the key is we need balance which is why I am really against taking a defense player with our first pick next year give me a trade down then offensive player or jonah or little or harry or metcalf or Deebo in the 2nd

Miami had under 200 yards total offense, Jets under 300 and Lions barely over 300. That's nowhere near gashed that's actually well below average...

I was just pointing to what the poster was trying to convey. Three mediocre QBs waltzed down the field late. Doesn’t show on the stat line but two resulted in losses which show in that meaningful standings list. Really? Points are the barometer of the game? What a concept.....
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Bills D is still a mirage. Good but not the #1 D in the league. The numbers look better from playing on short fields due to some putrid special teams and offensive play.

We are definitely playing a bend not break d but to me we dont look dominant like the numbers suggest

So when your poor tackling ST lets an opponent start on the 40-50 yd line or even in your territory, the D is giving up less yards than if the opponent had to drive 80+ yds to score. With all of Peterman and Anderson's INT's in their own territory, this D has had a lot less yards to defend before giving up points. The Bills are 15th in the NFL points allowed. These stats don't account for sacks, turnovers and red-zone efficiency, only yards. Yeah we haven't given up a lot of yards, but this Defense has not created enough INT (13th) , Sacks (23rd) Fumble Recoveries (11th) or game changing plays (0 DEF TD- tied for last in the league ) to win games like Chicago, Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston, Denver, Minnesota, Seattle, who I would say all have considerably better defenses and teams that the Bills. Just for kicks the Bills DST in fantasy football is 22nd. They may keep us in some games, but they haven't really won any either. We need to get better in all three phases to be a consistent playoff team.
