You do realize one of the definitions of mojo, is just to have an exceptional ability, good luck or success The Bill's defense definitely had their best success in the season in the second half. It Doesn't have to be a year long thing, today it clicked

That offends people I don't think anybody is ignoring we beat the Jets. But holding any professional quarterback to 5 yards passing and a half is really good I don't care who you are, that is a successful second half
BillsMafi$ Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Jets just became the jets . Bills D is still disgusting 1
bobobonators Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Unfortunately it was more the Jets sucking than the Bills doing anything great. That being said they did at least improve. They did their job. Thats all you can ask. 1
Roundybout Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 We started rushing 5, including corner/safety blitzes from Johnson and Poyer. Where was this earlier?? 1
HappyDays Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Probably not a popular take but we got our mojo back because we played the Jets. The same issues we've had all year were still there. But it turns out you can blitz Darnold a ton and he doesn't know how to handle it. Hopefully this game gives them some confidence back but they are still going to be a below average unit this season. Edit: After reading the thread this is a very popular take, carry on.

Buffalo716 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Literally some Bills fans don't deserve a winning team lol We won because our kicker kicked six field goals and people want him cut. We held an NFL offense to five passing yards in a half and people are trashing our performance defensively There are only 32 NFL teams in the world and the Jets are one of them, and I'd be willing to bet they don't go 0-16. They're going to beat another NFL team Edited October 25, 2020 by Buffalo716 3

Darnold is one of the worst QBs I have ever seen against the blitz. We all out blitzed him a ton and got free stops because of it. That strategy isn't going to work against QBs that have a clue what they're doing or offenses that can run the ball. The LBs were still a big problem today, I'm not going to ignore that gaping hole because we shut down an awful roster with awful coaching.

The issue is too many homers are just happy to win. 1

There's a long way to go On this singular day, they had their groove back. Especially in the second half. The Jets best drive of the day was in the first quarter and they were desperate. But the Bills absolutely had their best performance all season I don't care who it came against it's an NFL team, and it's something to build on which is key 3 1

Either the Jets imploded, or we did something drastic to fix our issues. Frazier finally brought the heat on early downs

I don't disagree with a lot of what you said But I know that every player in the league is talented, and they're all playing for their future. And on any Sunday any team could win This was the opposite of a game the Bills lost for the last 20 years. We would go up 10-0 and then sputter out for the last three quarters We're finally the team taking charge when the game matters
Alphadawg7 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Did we get our Mojo back or did Jets just be the Jets. That is a legit question. This is a game we should have dominated, but didn't. 1
hondo in seattle Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I played flanker in high school a few decades ago. I recall one particularly productive game. I scored a long TD on a pass play - taking a short slant across the middle to the house. I added 2 more long TDs on end- runs. I even blocked a punt! I was a shining star that game. Too bad it was just a scrimmage against our own woeful JV squad. I never achieved anything like that in a real game. Opposition matters.

NewEra Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 While I don’t think our defense is “fixed”, we did look like an entirely different defense in the 2nd half. did McD take over play calling? Sure looked like it to me. There’s been very few times, this season, where I’ve seen us like up 7-8 guys at the LOS to disguise our pass rush/blitz packages. I think I saw it more times today than I had all season combined. 4
