Such a defeating feeling when you just know your defense won’t ever make a play.

Odds D gets a stop? Seems like a guaranteed 5 min drive for a FG, minimum.

That was guaranteed

With Milano out we refuse to blitz and even when healthy we rarely do. Aikman kept saying both teams blitzed a lot, he's insane.

I honestly thought I’d be ok with a good offense and a bad defense, as you can win with that and there’s a ceiling for your team if it’s the other way around.

I didn’t anticipate a bottom 5 defense through 6 weeks. This is absolutely soul crushing. I don’t even feel confident in any game anymore. The defense is absolutely brutal.

 

[NineOneSeven]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that without Allen playing like Jesus we have lost 2.

That’s not fair for him either.

step the damn running game up and the defense has to wake up and play with some goddamn balls!

 

[Orangeman]

Sean, your defense is embarrassing...just FYI

 

[syrBossHogg]

I still think this team is good, but it's not great

Thank goodness the Pats don’t have the invincibility cloak anymore and the division is up for grabs.

I agree with the recalibration. Playoff hopeful now, but that’s about it. We need to take a flamethrower to this defense in the offseason.

What kills me more that the defense is the offense...... gotta do more than this. Didn’t do shiz in the second half

 

[Orangeman]

I would take the Jets defense right now, they seem to care (against all odds)

Yep I think this game is more on the offense. Terrible opening drive, missed FG, INT at the end, plus a couple more inconsistent drives

 

[Toga]

John Brown - 4 targets / 0 catches. He ain't right.

 

[pattycuse]

Isn’t it fabulous to have our college team, coached by an offensive guru, unable to score points while our pro team has a defensive minded coach and can’t stop anyone? Freaking Exhausting.

Agreed. This game, in a vacuum, was more on the offense. You have to score to beat the Chiefs and our Offense was a mess, led by Allen, who was not even remotely up to the bright lights of going up against the best on national tv.

Given the offense is what has carried us to a 4-2 record, while the defense is one of the worst units in the NFL, clearly the aggregate view of the season drives the anger towards the defense. And rightfully so... they seem hopeless at the moment.

How much are we paying Trent Murphy to not even make the gameday roster?

For all the good Beane has done, he basically used his entire “Get out of Jail” free card on the blasphemous management of the DL this offseason.

Yep don't get me wrong, the defense has issues. Edmunds is bad, Milano can't get on the field, and the D-line can't generate the pressure they've been paid to make. But tonight showed me how inconsistent the offense is and they've been building that unit up for a while now. No more excuses for Allen, he's got the O-line, he's got the WRs. Time to start putting up points against everyone.

 

[Orangeman]

Whats the deal with star.. can he wake up mid season and realize Covid isn’t really that big a concern at this point?

Nope - once you opt out, that’s it

Yup. Allen and the offense were elite at 4-0.. Struggled against Tennessee, but I thought he played fine. Unfortunately, I thought that was his new floor. Sadly, he still has a game like this in him.

 

[longislandcuse]

I will say... it feels good that I’m not immediately resigned to WC competition watching now...

That being said... the Bills might want to start asking around to any, and everyone, with DL available for trade. I can’t be 100% sure, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the Pats might try to run it on us in 2 weeks.

We don’t have to be reckless with trades, but it seems pretty clear that this DL will be majorly overhauled in the offseason anyway. The outs in certain players contracts are there for a reason.

 

[Orangeman]

Bills should take the ball, try to score and go for two each time...only way having watched that D

 

[NineOneSeven]

Bad games happen, look at Rodgers yesterday. And Goff. Honestly even Murray struggled tonight with accuracy but had a couple long passes and obviously his legs. Point is he is not going to be superhuman every game and as I’ve said, it is unfair to need him to be.

He is far down the list of issues that have surfaced the last two games imo.

the weather also did not help.

I don't ever expect Allen to play like Mahomes week in and week out, but I think he can do better than 14/27 122 yards passing. And yes, the WRs had a few bad drops tonight but Allen had his most inaccurate game this season. One or two better drives changes the outcome of this game IMO.

Missed Brown for a wide open TD.

Missed Singletary for a first down into scoring position, at least.. Potentially could have scored.

Missed Beasley on a short crosser for a first down.

Had some drops and Brown clearly isn’t able to truly play rn, but Allen was bad, and missed a lot of big throws.
