So far NO. 1 rush D and 8th in total D. Looking bad for Trap, OP and Fletch.

Re: NICE

The longest run against us is 16 yards? Wow. What a change from last year!

Re: NICE

I told you all, Schwartz would have a GOOD run Defense.

NO sitting on the fence or backtracking by me.

Re: NICE

Before calling people out, wait to see where we are at the end of the year. Or, even after NE hangs 42 on us next week.

Re: NICE

The Bills have faced 2nd and sometimes 3rd string RBs in a lot of games this season. I don't think NEs running game is anything to write home about, but Belicheat always seems to have a plan for this team.

San Diego
Houston
Detroit
Miami

I agree to a certain extent but , already know that all your whining was all for nothing. We may not have as much sacks under Schwartz but we are not giving up franchise runs which happened under Pettine.

I feel your reservations since this team has crapped the bed over the past 10 yrs in these types of games coming up against NE, but 42? No way that happens..but a loss certainly might....

Like I said elsewhere, I was concerned about the D having to learn a third system in 3 years. Also, Schwartz's defensive rankings over his career have been decent but not great.

So far, it hasn't been an issue. Let's hope I was wrong and that trend continues.

Hyperbole aside, I still expect a loss. They probably won't get 42 but they'll probably get 30. We are averaging 1.4 offensive TD's a game and have yet to score more than 29. Granted, NE's D isn't as good as Detroit's or Houston's this year, but I still don't see our O being able to keep pace with theirs.

Only way Marsha leaves this game alive is if they have the same gameplan they did last night. He's going to have to get the ball out quick.

Re: NICE

5th in scoring defense. I'll take that.

I think 16 YPC was our avg last year.

Re: NICE

BTW, so far the bills are tied for the lead in sacks as well.
