I hear you but this is what I'll say:

 

Game against the rams the argument was. "Rams were on a heater, there's nothing we could have done as they are unstoppable when they are healthy ". They have had 1 TD in two games since that bills game

 

Then against Detroit the argument was: "Injuries and game script allowed Detroit to score a lot of points". To a certain degree yes, but 42 points given up is horrible in any circumstance and the offence  needed to keep scoring or they would have lost 

 

And now I'm hearing the injury excuse from yesterday from others.

 

We got to stop making excuses for this defence and call a spade a spade -The bills defence has been pathetic the last 3 weeks

Yeah, like I said, not meant to be an excuse. They (Rams) gave us their best shot and our defense was not good enough to handle it. Their offense has not played at that same level of intensity since our game.  I am hoping that we can stop other teams "best shot" going forward, because that is all we will see in the playoffs.  

 

But make no mistake, I agree that having to outscore other teams, because our defense can't stop their offense, is not a winning strategy in the playoffs.

This entire mess is on Bean's hands.  We have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent on D because he pissed it all away with some ridiculous contracts and also players they should have let go but decided to have them resigned.  Have you ever watched our corners play???  They cant even break up most pass plays on a consistent basis.  We have no dominant talent at all on this D in the secondary that makes impactful plays on a weekly basis.  They are so far off the ball they have no chance at covering the opposing RB,TE or WR's to keep them from getting 10 yards or more on most plays every time the other team passes the ball.  We have no speed at corner or S and FS.  The tackling on the field has been horrendous by all the players.  Every single good team in the playoffs will be a challenge for us to beat.  We will have to play almost perfect game when on offense to overcome this fiasco of a D that we have right now.  

 

Watching this D play is a real OMG moment.  You can't believe you just saw that happen on the field, every possession of the ball by the opposing team is 50-50 crap shoot that it goes for big a play now.

I wonder about the inconsistencies on this defense. One week they crush the opponents running game, the next two weeks they get bashed. One week the pass rush and pressure is awesome, the next it disappears. That tells me the talent is there, so is it preparation or motivation?

I think a little of both. This week I think they held guys out and took the Pats too lightly. I'm also worried about the weather. I think we have a lot of guys on D that can't handle it. Thankfully I'm seeing 45 for Sunday. As far as coaching goes, I'm tired of coaches who can't evolve, be innovative or want to be ahead of the curve....specifically the McFrazier scheme.

 

It's always on one side or the other. We finally turned that corner on O starting with Dabol, but it seems like Frazier came back to coach D. The whole "try to get pressure with 4 is B.S and just grade school math unless you got the apostles up front.

Babich is a Grade B coordinator with a Grade B roster, and it shows. The D would probably rank #16 of the 32 teams.

 

The smashing success of Allen obscures the fact that the Bills are rebuilding this year, rebuilding the D at least.

We could have Buddy Ryan coaching the defense, wouldn’t matter if we are working with talent like this

My post was not just about this game. It's about the defence as a whole in 2024.

Spector has barely played this season.

 

And played exactly 0 defensive snaps against the rams 2 weeks ago when Sean Mcvay did laps around Babich and McDermott

He doesn’t seem to have a good grasp of how to design blitzes and when to call them.

I hate the delayed blitz, guy starts 6 yards from the line of scrimmage and usually arrives a step or two late.
