    Bills Defense Reminds Me of the BC Era

    (Before Cornelius)

    I remember sitting up in the cheap seats at Rich, watching our D get picked apart with the running game & short, underneath passes.

    Does anyone remember the mid to late 80's Bils D ?

        I don't think it'll be that bad. We've got some talent, it'll just take some games for them to come together. They won't be great, but should be middle of the road

          The one thing I do like is that they are starting to make some plays. At least if they can get some take aways our offense can be on the field.

            Whatup Thurm!!

            Yes, this is a big play defensive scheme so it is high risk, high reward. I think that they need to learn how to play a little bit of percentage defense also, though I like their aggressive nature.

                This is reminicent of the OJ era where we had the high powered offense and Jim Cheyunski at MLB.

                  As long as they keep generating turnovers we'll be fine.

                    That's the key...turnovers. They have generally been scaring me the last few weeks but when they create turnovers, it doesn't seem as bad. Our defense in 1993 wasn't super but it got the job done with...you guessed it......turnovers. I think we led the league in takeaway-giveaway ratio.

                        At least they are making plays. I think we were dead last in the league last year in takeaways. We have to be up there this year.

                            Minnesota is a tough team to beat. Thanks to special teams 21 points resulted from it if you included the long punt return last week. They came up big in overtime last week also. I do not have the confidence in them like I do the offense but I want to give them a little more credit. The Jets offense came into week 1 on all cylinders flying after preseason and the Jets have not recovered from Buffalo keeping them in check. Unfortunately Buffalo plays a lot of high powered offenses early in the season so statistically they will appear worse then they are for the first 5 weeks.

                              We all agree that out D is not the best, but they do create turnovers, they have been getting to the QB, and they are young with only one way to go and that is up. Iam telling you by midseason they will be even better, and I know we dont want to think about next year right now, but wait till next year, with a little help in the FA field and a little more experience, and growth this group will be a force to recon with
