The Defesne is in Trouble

So is proper grammar apparently as "Defesne" now passes as Defense  😂

I respect Sean and I believe he creates a winning culture and the players give maximum effort. Unfortunately he comes from the defensive side of the ball and our defense continues to be the weakest unit especially come playoff time. Now the question is if Sean’s strength is not complimentary in  supporting Josh and our arguably top 5 offense, why keep him. His game day decisions are not impressive and his personnel choices have been less than stellar(Elam, Miller, Jones, Phillips, Jefferson, Spector) Even Epenesa, Milano are not making enough difference making plays. If Sean  loses to Baltimore in the divisional round or KC in the Conference Championship,  Bills fan should demand a change.

I just assume it was the French way of spelling, like the name Dufresne.

You spelled Sean wrong. Defense was ranked #1 and #2 in 2021 and 2022 under Leslie.

How'd they do in the playoffs?  That's all that matters.

 

2021 = Sean's :13 blunder.

2022 = Sean's rookie OC put up 10 points vs Bengals.

#1 based on beating up cupcakes in the regular season.

2021 - A great defense isn't giving up 42 points to any team (especially when there were zero turnovers by the offense to give a short field), and definitely isn't allowing the game tying score in 13 seconds.

2022 - A great defense isn't giving up 31 points to Skylar Thompson or giving up 27 points at home in the Divisional round.

The scheme of this defense plays well in the regular season, and gets obliterated in the playoffs. This has been true since the corpse of Philip Rivers was one or two passes from upsetting us in the Wild Card.

 

 

I think I understand better now. You fundamentally disagree with Sean's defensive philosophy regardless of coordinator. Sean blew :13 when he took over play calling but with a top ranked D it shouldn't have been that close anyway. It's hard to compare the 2022 season in the playoffs because of the near-death of Damar – sucked the life out of the whole squad. 10 points on O vs Bengals isn't going to cut it with all the D injuries we had.

 I must admit I didn't think much of Andy first time I laid eyes on him; looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over. That was my first impression of the man.

 

Hey that Shawshank quote works for our defense too! I mean our "defesne"!!
