All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Arizona can be excused as the D was on the field for a long time in that game
they don't get excused for sucking. They were on the field longer by their own doing from the start of the game to the very end.
This D is in danger vs. teams that have great short to medium range passing since we tend to play underneath the LB'ers because we are more concerned about preventing big plays.
so much for those amazing third down percentages we had after the first four weeks.
The Bills still have a pretty amazing 3rd down percentage. 33%, for 3rd place in the league. The Bills don't have to face an offense with the pure ability of the Chargers or Cardinals for the rest of the season, so the numbers should return to their previous levels.
There are plenty of other impressive stats to take from that game:
No sacks allowed
3 takeaways, no giveaways
Held the Chargers to 72 yards on the ground
Edwards 25 of 30 for 261 yards, 1 TD and 0 INTs.
Keep looking on the bleak side, I'm sure some day you'll be able to say "I told you so", because the Bills will certainly lose a few more games before the end of the season, but this Bills team is for real and is going to the playoffs.
i think the 3rd downs are also due to us modifying our secondary for the McGee injury. We can't leave leodis on his own yet. And we still need a guy over the top. it leaves a lot underneath. and our LB's are needed in blitz's to get pressure. At least that's how it came off to me in the cards and chargers games.
i honestly think in the next 3 weeks our front 4 are going to be more effective. Particularly against the weakened Pats Oline.

I hardly ever look on the bleak side and do not run around with an 'I told you so attitude'. I'm nbf not Op.
When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

It's your fault. you gave OP a reason to take a shot at our team after a win vs. a good team (i'm sure Op will find a way to talk down the chargers after gettting beat by the lowly bills) .

It's that wonderful Cover Two defensive scheme. I ****ing hate it, the only thing worse was Jerry Gray's defensive schemes.

It really works as long as we are getting penetration from our DT's. Vs. the cards Stroud and Williams disappeared. They showed up vs. the chargers. I think we need to play every 2 weeks.
Two of the top offenses in the league will do that to you.
Agreed, but if we are going to make any kind of a run in the PO's and call ourselves PO contenders we need to fix it because we will probably encounter them again on the way to the top.
