Bending and breaking.

Is that bad? That seems bad. 😬

The defense has been consistently bailed out by turnovers, which likely is not sustainable. Playoffs are almost here which is where the lack of dudes on the Bills D always rears its head. Hopefully one year we won't be entirely reliant on Allen to be a superhero in the playoffs 🤞🏼

Their defense will hold them back from winning it all. They practically have to score 35+ a game to win.

And that’s why it’s unlikely that this is the year. I hope that they prove me wrong. 🤞

What do you think is driving this? Scheme, execution, guys failing to cover in man, consistent soft spots in the zone, lack of pressure, etc?

A multitude of things which is what makes it a hard fix. Tops for me would be predictability/lack of complexity in coverage, lack of one on one wins in pass rush, and coverage not marrying with the pass rush. Then throw in opponents making a play and down & distance variations

That's ok, Mahomes is famously bad in "gotta have it" situations like 3rd downs...

They desperately need Beane to hit on some D lineman. They've drafted, signed, and tried to retool that unit almost every year and it's always an average unit at best.

I feel like for the last few years our 3rd down defense has been awful.

But despite that they’re 2nd in the AFC.

I’ll take it TBH, a W is a W
