Bills only gave up 98 yards on the ground against Oakland. 3 successive games with less than 100 yards given up on the ground to start the season. Hell of an improvement over last year.

That is great!! I watched the game at the bar and it certainly seemed like a lot more than that!

The D still needs to look at those runs off LT where Schobel was taken out every time. Oakland started to eat us up over there. Shore that up and we are looking great. Tell me the Jags aren't regretting their decision on Stroud just a bit.

The Bills adjusted and they were just fine.

The D is excellent.

The pass D is just as impressive. If POZ would have got a finger on their one lucky pass we would have only given up like 72 yards passing. That would have put us at 126 yards passing per game. That would make us the 2nd ranked D. overall behind Baltimore.

I guess we will have to settle for 4th.

Yes yes sure rankings are all nice and all, but the most important stat for me is 3-0. If we go 19-0 I could care less if our D gives up 400 yards a game.

it's amazing what one player can do to a middle of a defense, stroud is a beast.

Agreed. Even when he isn't in at the end of the play he takes out two or three blockers to allow someone else to make the tackle. Amazing addition to the team.

are you forgettting that defensive and offensive rankings are better than wins and losses?

I'm surprised he's not been back telling us all how the Dolphins are now the greatest team in history.

If we gave up 400 yards for 2 of 3 games, we lose...

The best improvement is our red zone defense...

These guys have proven to be effective on a weekly basis...
