Can we talk about how 2 teams in a row ran it down our throat...

[Rc2catch]

This wasn’t as big an issue earlier in the season because the offense was firing and the D could stay aggressive. We’re not seeing the offense playing well and the defense certainly hasn’t been as aggressive on the line. They were dominating the line for quite some time there. Might have been better off running 5 defensive linemen today and just having edmunds out there. Without Rousseau that probably don’t work though, someone has to be able to drop in coverage occasionally. Rousseau is probably the best run stuffer on the team and his loss was felt. Still inexcusable someone should be able to step up considering the draft capital and free agency money spent.

wtf are you watching?

Edmunds may have had as many tackles today as the entire 8 man DLine rotation combined.

Lol yea 8 yards down the field. Look I’m not a edmunds hater, but the guy isn’t good at run support.

If you watched the game you would know that is a ginormous pile of horseshlt.

It's hard to be Edmunds agnostic. He's got a very evangelical fanbase.

Rookie corners 

 

2 new safeties 

 

No Milano 

 

A rookie LB started for him

 

Rousseau hurt in 1st half.  
 

Im stunned we only allowed 20

 

Their kicker made his 50 yarder. 
 

 

This game was going to be a slog.  Allen played bad and we lost.  
 

There will not be a running game to bail us out when he’s bad.

 

Because the RBs are average and the online is very average.   

This game was not going to be a slog going in, everyone thought the Bills offense would kill them.  Josh sucked, hindsight, it was a slog.  The thought that it would be one going into the game is horseshit.

If you can't see that he's clearly having the best season of his career by far, that is a "you" problem.

The line was clear, this is histrionics.

Thead titles that start with "can we talk about" irritate me more than the subject matter the posters want to talk about.  Not sure why.

 

Anyway it's no secret the Bills defense is a finesse defense.  That shouldn't matter as much if Allen isn't throwing ints every other posession.

Anyone know how much time Rousseau needed to miss today?  Aside from the other injuries, wondering how much that may have further contributed to our stopping the run issues.

We were up 14-3 and let the Jets cram the ball down our throats.

And josh threw a pick giving the jets the ball right back in scoring position. Easy running situation with little stress on wilson cuz its an automatic feild goal at worst.

The pick was thrown at 14-10, not 14-3.  

[Eastport bills]

Without Hyde, Poyer and Milano, the pressure is on the front four to be stout. Unfortunately our young secondary can’t take good angles and tackle well. Now we’ll see just how good Frazier and our other defensive coaches are.

[mrags]

Bad tackling team. Has been forever

You can complain about rookie corners all you want, but is that hurting teams like the jets and Seahawks?

Still at no point was wilson or the jets pressured to abandon the run. Never got out of their game plan, run the ball grind the clock, quick short passes.

you said:

 

Offense scores and goes up early forcing teams to abandon the run, and make qbs like wilson/ tannehill beat you with his arm.

 

the Bills scored to make it 14-3.  The Jets, who had very little going on offense to that point, marched 75 yards to make It 14-10, with only 12 of those 75 yards coming on the ground.

Two reasons, Bills rookies suck and their scheme sucks.

That is great.

Yup.  It's going to be a problem when the weather turns.
