But outside of that stat, Leslie had better DVOA. Sean’s D folded in key moments against the Eagles, Bucs, Broncos, Pats, Giants, Chiefs. And 2 of those losses were partially the result of a mistimed blitz. There were significant injuries on D in both 2023 and 2022. Defensive DVOA 2023 Record: 11-6 Defensive DVOA Rank: 12 Vs.

That is where the big meaningful difference is. Leslie got opponents off the field on 3rd down. McDermott less so and Babich is bottom 4 or 5 in the league at it. The other interesting thing in those numbers above is how consistent the Bills are at taking the ball away. Between 17 and 19 INTs and between 10 and 11 fumble recoveries. We are slightly down on INTs this year but slightly up on fumble recoveries. That should be slightly concerning too because while I have seen the Bills raking at balls this year as a point of emphasis more than I can ever remember and that plays a part in forcing fumbles there is still an element of luck with recoveries and the bounce of the ball. Essentially where they are perfoming best in turnovers is where the level of randomness is highest. 1 Quote

My issue with him were the playoff failures McDermott was a little hard to judge last year in the playoffs as they were down to their 5th string linebacker who was coming out of retirement Edited December 29, 2024 by BillsFan130 Quote
