artmalibu Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Allen had a tough stretch in the second half. A fumble, two 15 yard penalties, and two sacks that lost about 30 yards. The defense gave up 3 quick scores. I dont blame the coaches for that. The coaches put the players in position to be successful, and the players almost blew it. 1

We are getting destroyed in the second half. Look around the NFL today. Vikings blew a huge lead. Atlanta blew another big lead. We played a potential playoff team today and won. Theyve run up and down the field on everyone so far this season. Our defense has holes. Its a concern. Not sure what MCD could have done better to stop the rams the second half. Our DL was losing the battle at the LOS badly. Its a personnel issue imo not a coaching issue.

I loved seeing Diggs yelling at the team on the sideline too.

It's much easier to make half time adjustments than it is making in-game adjustments. I agree. The coach isnt out on the field. I think players lose mental focus with big leads and if you play a good team like the Rams thats dangerous. Our defense was absolutely gassed second half
HOUSE Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I would have fired them all Thursday for waiving Jason Croom 1

billsfan89 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 This team had a 25 point lead fairly quickly cut to 18 when the Rams went back down and scored. There was then a turnover (on a bogus call) that the Rams cashed in on which cut the lead to 11. Then the offense does a good job mixing the run and pass getting the ball into Rams territory before a bad penalty and turnover by Josh get the Rams the ball at their own 35. By then the Rams were rolling with momentum and deep in Bills territory. The offense put the defense in a bad position and the defense didn't respond. I don't know if they should have been running the ball that much more because Josh was effectively moving the ball they just got a bad call against them and a sloppy play by Josh.
par73 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I'm alarmed by the play of the defense. The Bills were very lucky to get that PI at the end of the game. 1

That's not going to help a defense against an elite offense.

Bills had no answer for their ground game and McVeigh kept asking Goff to throw. 4th down call was dumb. 4 minutes ago, LeGOATski said: Just like the Rams were lucky to get that INT call and momentum change in the 3rd.

The defense made three decent plays all game - Milano sack, the Wallace pick, and the 4th down stop(decent coverage but bad pass by Goff too). They gave up 3rd and 11 and 3rd and 8 when it mattered. 1
aristocrat Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 The pats always had that early year screw up. From here it will be interesting to see how the team plays. This is trying to find it’s identity.

I'm sorry Ethan but I'm just happy with the win. This whole thread is premature to me. I'll enjoy the win and "worry" about next week later. My original post was sarcastic.
DuckyBoys Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 defense gave up 500 yards and a 28-3 lead Until further notice we dont have a defense lead team anymore Were in for a world of hurt with power run teams We also still cant run between the tackles consistently Bad weather comes they better get this stuff ironed out 3 2

MAJBobby Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 This defense is vastly over-rated. But glad we have an offense that can just outscore you if needed. 2

The "luck" you mentioned went both ways. I guess you were trying to use luck as an excuse, but it's clearly not a valid one.

I said the PI call was a gift in the moment but when I saw the replay I agree it was a good call. It could have gone the other way. If that call was against the Bills we would be screaming the WR initiated the contact all the way down the field. The INT call was nuts. Not sure what they saw on the field to even call it an INT and certainly did not see a replay that showed Kroft losing possession of the ball to the DB.
