He is probably still much higher on Eddy than me. I think Ed Oliver had the greatest season of his career last year. I thought, at points, he was utterly dominant. Unfortunately, none of those points came in the postseason, so here we are again. Maybe he will show up someday. He didn't play well vs KC in these playoffs. But he was by far our best defender in 13 seconds. And he was for most of last year. If guys wanna judge him off that one gake go ahead. He was below par. No disagreement. But he is in the second tier of DTs in the league 3 1 Quote

Ok so the defense, bereft of dline talent, ends up 4th in regular season sacks due to schematic brilliance vs bad teams...largely thanks to McDermott's schematic aptitude...which unfortunately only works vs bad teams as shown by their postseason implosions... This really what you're going with lol 1 Quote

Plays well against bad teams with bad OL/bad QB/a team that can't beat our coverages, sometimes very well (9 sacks vs Sam Howell). Gets routinely beat against teams with good OL. Gets whipped by team with great OL. The Bills haven't had an SB caliber DL since 2014, and I firmly believe that. 2 Quote

Yup. I guess I must have missed his team getting destroyed in the AFC championship game. And then completely botching a simple kickoff and mismanaging a defense with .13 seconds. Oh, and then I must have missed the shellacking by the Bengals at home. And then again a loss against the Chiefs this past year. So if we have such a great coach you would think we’d have won even a few games against good teams. After all, we can beat the chiefs and create a pass rush against Mahomes in the regular season, but can’t seem to do it in the playoffs. Quote

As did you talking about fans and their beloved and/or lovable coach as if you were back in 3rd grade. McD needs to get them over the hump. All are in agreement. Edited March 24 by oldmanfan Quote

But he is in the second tier of DTs in the league I do because that's when he's paid to show up. I would annihilate Allen if he was having no-show efforts in playoff losses. You can nitpick tiny things about him, you cannot deny he earns that gigantic paycheck (and cap hit) in the last game of the season every season. Unfortunately, he's basically the only one. 3 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Ok so the defense, bereft of dline talent, ends up 4th in regular season sacks due to schematic brilliance vs bad teams...largely thanks to McDermott's schematic aptitude...which unfortunately only works vs bad teams as shown by their postseason implosions... This really what you're going with lol Yeah, they are basically bullies. It's why when we had 3 AllPros on the backend in 2020, we still got smoked by KC. McD can coach up dudes like Levi Wallce to hang in the NFL and not be terrible vs the Nick Sirianni's of the world. But Levi Wallace is gonna lose to Travis Kelce/Tyreek Hill and Andy every time, even if he got possessed by the Night Train. 1 Quote

YAY!!!! 🤮 At some point eyerolls are all they have l ft😂😂 I guess the question in relation to the thread then becomes- how many first round defensive picks do we need on the defensive line to make it work for McDermott, and if Beane can't identify them properly anyway what's the point of wasting it? 1 Quote

I am not arguing for more 1st round resources spent on the DL. They have shot their shots. They have to make it work. 1 1 1 Quote

And free agent after free agent to bolster his line to get his job done. But again, you make a point, if they are this bad at identifying talent on the DL then maybe they need to rethink their strategy 1 1 Quote

No more. They wasted enough capital as it is. Pray Rousseau is more than potential and Epenesa takes steroids. Offense x 1000 going forward. Let's try to win 38-35 over trying to win 21-17. We may still lose, but I'm 100% on board with pivoting strategy. We don't have the horses and beating our heads into the wall trying to get them picking #28 and later every year ain't gonna work.
