How many guys are out?

 

Most or all would have played if it was a playoff game. Feel they are being “rested”.

Expand  

Lions kicked the hell out of the Bears today.  They have major injuries all over their defense.

I know we're decimated along the Secondary and at LB. But Dear Lord the past 2 weeks and the beginning of this game has been atrocious Defensively.

 

I was ready to excuse the Rams full strength Offense all playing the games of their lives and then the #1 Offense in Football running through us. But if we can't get a stop against the Patriots, even in the shape we're in? We got problems.

[Danger Mouse]

tackling has been a problem all season. rapp's the only one who has been making them.

Spector 100% would not be playing in the playoffs…he honestly might be worse somehow than aj klein was in the playoffs last year and AJ was terrible 😂

It’s not the playcalling it’s the basic philosophy - and it’s all McDermott

Expand  

We've seen this philosophy work very well, it's ill timed defensive calls and players missing assignments.

 

But im not at all for matching up man to man with Spector or Bishop.

Tipping your hat to a rookie making quality throws isn’t anointing anyone lol

Dude folks were saying this kid is going to be an issue for a long time after one TD throw was my point.   
 

Get over yourself 

[Ralonzo]

Let's see if there's any open receivers on any play this series.

It’s been bad for weeks

[stevestojan]

Going forward, if we don’t score 45, we lose. 
 

The defense is non-existent.

Cam Lewis should be bagging groceries at your local Wegmans.

Beane thanks for all those great trade deadline moves.  Once again did nothing to help the DL except bring back a couple stiffs. 

Those draft picks do nothing to help Josh win it this year

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

This is what we get for wearing the patriots uniforms!!!

But he has the positional flex that defensive coaches love - to be a piteous victim at boundary corner, nickel, or safety.

Expand  

I know you're being sarcastic but - just because a guy isnt good enough to start anywhere doesnt mean hes flexible to be mediocre everywhere on the field

[Toomstone.Part.Duex]

Spector is a$$ 

[PonyBoy]

Win or lose this game, the defense, with an alleged defensive minded head coach will be the deterrent to winning a Superbowl.

 

[sonyab1974]

Nice catch Knox!!!!

[TheFunPolice]

What's the competitive or strategic advantage of having a defensive head coach whose defenses are bad?
