I mean do you think they would have stopped them?   They just sped up the inevitable?

As I said earlier, the blocked punt probably helped us.

[stlbills13]

I mean very simply somebody needs to make a huge play on defense. This is the 4th time I've posted that in 30 minutes

Imagine if our D forced 1...ONE...punt up to this point in the game?

Expand  

You'd think that would be possible against at team ranked like 26th in 3rd down conversions. But nah

[VaMilBill]

The good news is this shows how much our team needs Allen in terms of MVP. Because otherwise this game would be way over. 
 

that being said. I don’t know how the d gets a stop

go man to man with zone over top

Honestly, just go man to man and blitz constantly.

 

High chance of being burned, but they’re going to score anyway - might as well make it quick.

 

Or you might get a turnover.

Of course if is scheme. Stafford has been the best QB in the league against zone this year. I hoped McDermott/Babich would know that and change their tendencies. Stupid me... Hopefully it is just a "we don't want to show our playbook in a regular season game against an NFC opponent" kind of strategy. But the defense looks this bad every year in our losing playoff game so this is giving me a really bad feeling of deja vu.

Kupp and Nakua have made highlight reel plays over and over. Our guys are in position they’re just getting beat 

[ImpactCorey]

Defense has been best when rushing Stafford.  Bring the heat.

1yrd rushing TD stolen from his running back again. Allen really get a lot of cheap ones doesn’t he?

What are you on about?

Stafford has been completely in the zone, will he cool off?

Expand  

Not if we don't hit him. This isn't new or different for Stafford. He's been this guy his whole career.

[Playoffs?]

Ha - Anyone else think that throw to Shakir was picked off for a second, just like Hyde’s pick against the Pats in the cold playoff game?

McDermott seriously needs to take over the play calling here. 

Expand  

 

It's his defense.  I am not sure it would look much different.  This is the same soft zone we have played since he got here.

[KOKBILLS]

The Punt block looming large now... Not that the Rams would not have driven 80 yards in 6 plays anyway... But it was an easy 6 plus 1...

Not even close...

That game had multiple turnovers. The defenses on both sides made plays. 

This game no defense has shown up

Expand  

 

Yeah, well ours hasn't shown up at all WORSE! So there!

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Allen, trying to put the team on his back! Good way to start the 4th.....Need a big stop on this drive. 

[Nephilim17]

Good to hear Rasul's back.

Or didn't have a blocked punt for a score ............... and somewhere after this point in the game forced a punt.

Your were right all 4 times

[Nihilarian]

It would be nice if the Buffalo defense stepped up once in a while in this game.
