Billsfan1972 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 The Bills Defense is good, not great and this continual play it close to the vest and between the 20's eventually is exposed. And vs. a 3-4 team at home. Lot's of lessons learned and hope the Coaching Staff has some answers. Luckily the next 4 games are all very winnable. 3

buffalo2218 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 They were great, then after the bye week, they became sloppy. In this case, having a great defense ended up being a detriment. Daboll relied too much on our D, and today we paid for it 1
whatdrought Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 I'm not sure what this means... If the defense plays the way they have to date, we win this game. Defense isn't everything, but it wasn't anything today. 3 2

Bronxbomber21 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 The play calling needs help that changed the whole game.... The 3rd down sweep was a game killer then throwing on 3 street downs after gore had like 3 stright runs for 7 yards a clip 1 3

whorlnut Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 We need to focus more on offense. This is 2019. 1
GreggTX Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Our defense is marginally above average and our schedule has been as easy as it gets. That's the truth of it. White is good, but not great. The same goes for Hughes, Poyer and Lorenzo. Hyde is very good, but not elite. The rest of the defense could very easily be replaced with no loss.

Not sure if I am ready to downgrade them just yet.
CaptnCoke11 Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Wait.. I thought the board assured me the defense would carry the team to the promise land?
BITE ME Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 The Bills Defense is SOLID. The Bills Offense is ATROCIOUS. 1

You can't expect the defense to be lights out for the full 60 minutes. So the offense was to blame for the first half meltdown. Then when the Defense shat all over themselves out of the third, the Offense bailed them out and put us back in it. After that, the Defense looked horrible and the offense followed suit. It was a team loss completely, but if the D had played to their level, the offense likely would have found a way to get it done. 3

It’s not all about defense, but I’m really not sure that’s the lesson I take watching this game. Our D got gashed badly. Blown out. If you want to win against any decent team you have got to be able to stop the run up the middle on D If you want to win against any decent team you have GOT to be able to get off the field any time you have them pinned 3rd and >10 3
Dr.Sack Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Let’s remember the Eagles strengths are our greatest weakness. Big DL first team to stop our run game, and their OL dominated in the 2nd half and wore down our DL. We know other teams will try to replicate this formula.

Beast Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) The Bills have an a excellent defense that had a bad day. Hell, the 85 Bears even had a couple off days. The offense looks putrid. That’s the storyline. Edited October 27, 2019 by Binghamton Beast 2

OK, we lost a game and 5 - 2, let's not fall into TBD panic and drama looking for scapegoats, it happens and we are only half way through the season - why does the "coaching staff" needs answers? How about we just got beat! Just now, Binghamton Beast said: The Bills have an a excellent defense that had a bad day. Hell, the 85 Bears even had a couple off days. Not allowed on TBD, win them all or face attack! 1

Our current running game is a 36 old RB. Other teams use rookie RBs. Shoot...our rookie RB seems to crush it every time he gets a chance. But can't hurt a HOfers feelings.
