Why are people always talking pass rusher?

Man two punts from the number 1 defense? Wow look out 85 Bears  

Look what Allen did to the number 2 defense Super Wildcard weekend. Star QB’s on fire and with a good offense, can be hard to stop for any defense. Allen and Mahomes just made that quite clear at the end of the season.

Okay you remember the Jets game last year in the New Jersey when in the first half we let Sam Darnold run up and down the field against us we could not stop him all of a sudden the second half was different we’re in the first half we did not sack Darnold but in the second we sacked him 6 times and did not give up a 1 down.

 

Yes. They made some adjustments. I expect McDermott and Frazier were both involved in that. Frazier still called the plays. 

 

Your premise seems to be "every time we played well it had to be McDermott calling plays" with zero to back that up.

Yeah after McDermott is drawing plays in his hand to show Frazier what to run.

I don’t remember that, sounds like conjecture. I have to imagine there was some collaboration between minds and not just McDermott dictating to Frazier. 
 

Do you have anything specific to point towards to show your point?

I'll be coming back to this thread after the game tonight and tell you how important pass rushers are.

[Buffalo03]

Have you not seen our pass rush? Or lack thereof I should say?

If you wanna base your opinions off one game, sure. Remember Tennessee had a heck of a pass rush against Cincinnati a few weeks back. That worked well for them, right?

Everybody including ESPN was talking about it.  I watched it live.

McDermott has pulled the playbook precisely once in 5 years.

I think I know what game you're referring  too, the 2018 home opener against the chargers as McDermott openly admitted it.

 

But How do you know that MCD hasn't pulled the playbook from him more out of curiosity?

 

I think with all the head coaching rumours swirling around Frazier the last couple years, I don't think MCD would openly say he pulled it from him again, as he is rooting for his friend to get a head coaching job. (Which would be a bad look on Frazier, if MCD said he pulled the playbook)

 

Not saying you're wrong, I think it's just hard to tell. (unless you actually have proof, Which you may)

Mahomes had a clean jersey the whole game.  There was no pressure and racked 12 in sacks yeah a majority of them came against the Jets and they have a franchise Qb.

 

And so did Allen - both for the same reasons: They managed to escape pressure that 95% or more of QBs could never escape.

 

When Allen does it to other defenses, he is amazing...

When Mahomes does it to our defense, Frazier sucks...

Its the superbowl. This game matters a little bit more than most. Bucs won the big one last year with an insane pass rush too.

It doesn't mean the defense or offense for either team shows up in the way they want or they typically do. A team can have a great pass rush and never get pressure at all, or a team with an average pass rush can end up with pressure and sacks all game long. In that way, it is just like every other game ever played. That whole, "On any given day..." thing. If it wasn't, then every Super Bowl would be the greatest game ever played.

The Rams had the #1 defense in 2020. Gave up 32 points and 500 yards in a loss to Aaron Rodgers in the division round last year. 

 

In 2019 the Patriots had the #1 defense and gave up 200 yards rushing to the Titans in a loss in the wild card round.

 

We have good coaches. They made a couple bad decisions in the playoffs. They deserve criticism, but be better Bills fans. You don't fire a coach like Frazier over that. We don't even know what happened.

 

What happened ?? We lost !!!

Meanwhile…..the bengals had 42 sacks….same as us. Not to mention, their D as a whole, wasn’t nearly as good as ours.  Our coaches hung our D (and the rest of the team) out to dry when it mattered most.    That’s why we aren’t playing.  Not lack of a pass rush.  Maybe lack of a pass rush when it mattered most….but our pass rush was the majority of the season.

You have stumbled upon the concept of halftime adjustments.

[Dablitzkrieg]

Because it is common sense.  Look at your 2 superbowl teams.  Look at their pressures and sacks compared to the Bills.  That's why we are home watching this game today and not playing in it.

The issue with the Pats defense is the same as ours - it's predicated more on scheme and coaching than on talent. Compared to defenses like the Rams and Bucs which have a bunch of elite talent. If you want to stop elite QBs, you need a pass rush that can convert pressure into sacks. Judon was playing really well for the Pats early in the year but after his bout with covid he fell off a cliff. That's why they had no answer for Allen, and it's the same reason we had no answer for Mahomes. The Bengals pass rushers were able to get their hands on him. It made a big difference.

No this is the truth and the truth hurts lesile.

 

Regardless of my feeling on Frazier, you're just looking for attention. I'm going to start charging you for it.
