Well that Pats secondary just made Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Peyton Manning. So ummm, save us Talib? LOL
You don't think reputation and history is the only think keeping bill his job? That's exactly made mike keep his job for so long.
That's the comparison i was trying to make, but it came out wrong.
.... Their front seven is easily in the top half of the league in terms of talent -...
.
Or maybe they aren't
Don't forget there are 3 of the 7 that are inexperienced.
How many times do we see QBs with 4, 5, 6 seconds ?
Maybe it is scheme or maybe some of them just aren't strong enough
to win their one on one battles. Jones one on one taken out and
LBs not getting off blocks is not scheme. Sometimes they are
good and sometimes they are awful. No consistency.
I have to agree. Jones is a rookie who, let's not kid ourselves, isn't JPP (yet). Nink, Love and Cunningham are all below-average NFL players IMO. Hightower isn't there yet. He and Spikes are well below average in dropping into coverage. But you have to live or die with these guys for the rest of the year, so that's why I liked the Talib move so much. Yes, these guys are good at stopping the run, but that doesn't help the secondary much. Even having RB studs like Spiller and Jackson, the Bills choose to basically bypass our strength and get them out in the flats on screens and pass plays as opposed to a straight up running attack. Good game plan.
I think BB and Patricia have done an okay job with the personnel they work withing with given that the secondary is below average as well.
Baloney. Love and Ninko are above-average, Cunninhamnis improving.
It's the NFL. Teams have bad days. The Bills have always given us problems. And if you think our defense looked bad, JPP and the Giants' fearsome deafened got shredded yesterday. It happens.
Obviously this defense hasn't been bad for only one game. I'm not trying to sugar-coat it. But the front 7 HAS been good, so I throw this game out as a bad game for them. And I'm not willing o judge the secondary until Talib gets worked in to the mix.
I agree yesterday there was plenty of blame to go around.. we did not take away the run, stupid penalties. The Bills had 35 first downs..
Jackson, Spiller and Chandler had 13 catches for 151 yards.. that is on the LB's.. Hightower was invisible and for the most part the front seven was manhandled by the Bills.
We lost the time of possession.. 33 to 26 minutes.

The defense is getting a lot of heat for yesterday and rightfully so, but it's not fair to mock this thread before Talib 1) plays and 2) the defense has a few games with him under the belt.
One player can make a world of a difference, and it could be possible that most of the guys that played awful yesterday are not as bad as they were yesterday. Heck maybe even Chung comes back and makes a difference or Gregory just wasn't ready either to contribute. Likely or not it's just way too early to declare defeat, or victory for that matter if they were to come out and dominate next week.
What're we...2-7???
The flat out SQUEALING that I'm reading here is hysterical.
Anybody reading the whining, whimpering, and bleating, hereabouts, would think we're riding a 6 Game losing streak and haven't seen the PlayOffs since 1427!!
What a bunch of Pansies!!
Winning doesn't stop you discussing issues within the team. You think Bellichick goes 'well we won so thats one more week I just turn a blind eye to any problems'? Of course not. Fans have a reason to be worried.
I've been one of those who, over the last to to three years, has been hopefully optimistic it was a 'transition' period. Well it's one long transition period.
There are issues on this team that will need fixing. Hopefully, with TFB, he will buy as some more time to do that fixing. I can live with it whilst we're winning but I won't be living with it if this continues and effects us long term.
I'm getting to the stage where I can see the talent on this team but can't see it being utilised. That's a concern.
