jkx2 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Ziggy Ansah is still out there and is a quality pass rusher who for the right deal I'd like to see the Bills sign.

Defense gave up 28 points and it could have been 31 or 35 if Dolphins go for FG or don't drop a TD pass(though he may not have crossed the line). Bills were losing to Dolphins in 4th quarter with a defense that could not get off the field. No pass rush with just four guys. Oliver had a nice hustle sack after falling to the ground and Poyer had a nice blitz sack. One turnover in two games. They won't beat better teams without a pass rush and forcing turnovers. The Bills had Bruce Smith when they traded for Bennett. This team finally has an offense to compete. Go get a difference maker on defense. Well, THIS games’ stat line reads: TEN QB hits and THREE sacks. You may finally be correct about something. You HAD to have watched a different game. Yet again, you’re making a fool of yourself. Consider posting less. Better to be though a fool than to start typing and remove all doubt. 4 1

I pointed out two of the three sacks you mentioned in your stats. Since you are a moderator I suspect you will not get any points assigned to you for calling another poster a fool. If I did that to you I would get banned for 5 days. Inappropriate behavior that will not be addressed.

He cited my history of warnings showing I "clearly don't care about the rules" when my last warning was over a year ago. I'm the one who doesn't care about the rules when he gets to go around calling people fools under the shield of being a mod. I can only assume he's having a bad week and is lashing out.

Big Turk Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 11 hours ago, Ethan in Portland said: This offense can make a deep playoff run. This defense lacks a pass rush and is average to below average in causing turnovers. 13th last year and only one turnover in 2 games so far. It's time for Beane to go all in and give up some draft capital for a pass rusher. There are several teams that have no future in 2020. Find someone that can play a hybrid DE/OLB. This doesn't make any sense. Fitz was getting rid of the ball very quickly today most plays. Doesn't matter who you got he wasn't going to get sacked much. We got 3 today. One was a coverage sack where he had nobody to throw to. 1
ghostwriter Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I think Addison should line up at RDE and Hughes at LDE. They were both getting immense pressure when they were lined up at such. I do think we could use more talent at EDGE, as it should be a high priority in next year’s draft but for now I think that minor adjustment could pay dividends. And who knows what we got in Epenesa, I still think he’s a great prospect with a bright future.. Epenesa developing into a star is still a distinct possibility. No doubt a prospect like Mack, Bosa or Garrett would take our defense to an elite level..so OP in the end I suppose I agree with ya...we’ll just have to wait n see..
Buffalo_Stampede Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 We get pressure by scheme. I think McDermott likes that. Everyone does their 1/11.

We were missing two of our best players on defense. Fitz is no dummy. To me the key was the offense stepping up to earn a win for a change. I like a lot of what I saw. We won, we are 2-0 with 2 wins in division, and I’m HAPPY! . Yup, it’s as if it wasn’t known by everyone that we had two starting linebackers out injured... well it appears everyone but Ethan... Go Bills!!!
mjt328 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 The pass rush was very good on Sunday. As was our coverage on the back-end. As Bills fans, I know it makes us upset. But Ryan Fitzpatrick was fantastic yesterday, and there really wasn't much we could do about it. The pressure was there most of the game. Fitz was just getting his throws off anyway, and they were extremely accurate. Miami's receivers were making contested catches, regardless of how well our defenders had them blanketed. And when we brought pressure, Fitz quickly found the soft spot left in the zone coverage. The loss of Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano is going to get most of the blame this week. And I have a feeling Levi Wallace will also face plenty of criticism. Don't be surprised if people start saying our defense has taken a step back. But we should know better than anyone. Sometimes this just happens when you play against Fitz. There will be games when he looks absolutely unstoppable. A week later, he will go back to being a turnover machine. We ran into Fitz on the wrong day (for us). Fortunately, our offense was up to the task. 1
SCBills Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Definitely did not come away from this game thinking we need more pass rushers. DL was fine. Fitz was good Fitz. We all should’ve seen it coming after he threw for 3 picks against NE. He got the ball out FAST.... and abused Levi and our two missing pro-bowl linebackers. Edited September 21, 2020 by SCBills
Don Otreply Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Last season Fitz made Belichicks vaunted defense suffer a loss in a must win game, it’s Fitz, it happens...we won the game, moving on.. Go Bills!!!

It really showed me how unique Edmunds is. I will watch the all22 when it comes out but my instinct was there were 3 or 4 of those big completions over the middle - at least a couple to Gesicki and one to Isaiah Ford that don't even get thrown if they have to get over / around Edmunds.
TroutDog Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Generally speaking, this thread is silly. I do find it interesting that many who said we shouldn’t pay Milano and consistently point out any mistakes made by Edmunds that they are now preaching, ‘We need our starters back!’ 😃 It seems many look at individual plays and make a would-be personnel decision based on that as opposed to looking at their entire body of work.

BigBuff423 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 The Bills invested in DE and DL, the larger issue is the CB depth with Wallace not playing all that well so far and Norman on IR, hopefully for just one more week. The absence of Edmunds and Milano was noticeable in the passing game yesterday even though Dodson did well overall, but the larger concern is CB IMHO.
