Ive come to peace with the fact that we could easily be 1 and done. I really hope next season we have a faster more athletic defense.

Depends on who we are playing.

The Bills are honestly one of the worst matchups for us, honestly. Lots of short passes that keep our offense off the field, that our defense gives up in spades.

TJ Yates will not have as much success. Terrified of pretty much anyone else though.

I did some counting up last week, and came to the conclusion that, of the 30 or so defensive players you have in camp, who you actually think could play next year (i.e. not just camp bodies), there should only be 13 back from this current team.

That means you need to find, in free agency and the draft, 17 defensive players who you genuinely think could play on D next year.

Of those 17, in order to have a simply "league average" defense, you need to find 6 new starters (2 CB's, 1 S, 2 LB's, 1 DL) who are "league average"

The chances of that happening are somewhere in the 5-10% range, (you'll maybe find 1 league average rookie starter from the draft, if you're lucky, and we're not going to spend $80m on D in free agency to get the other 5 players) so, in reality, this defense is going to be bad for at least another 12 months.

Oh, and we're one and done in the playoffs this year

i can see a pats jets match up...with the way the pats play...would not be thrilled..just look at today..against the bills LOL

i have come to terms with being 1 and done as well...D is worse that last year and brady and the pats don't play well in the playoffs anymore

This has been the year of breaking streaks. I'm hoping that includes our playoff streak as well.

Not really that nervous cause I've already excepted that this team is soft, the defense is horrendous, they're offense is one-dimensional and predictable at times, and they'll be one and done as usual.

for those who come in saying they aren't nervous because the pats will do what they did today if they fall behind..that doesn't happen against good teams


hopefully they get their asses chewed out up until that playoff game
