This is the second week in a row that a bottom-feeding opposing offense has been able to move the ball on the Buffalo so-called "elite Defense" while the starters were in the game.
Last week a 1-dimensional Bears offense with Chutch under center was able to put up over 90 yds rushing in the 1st half with 2nd and 3rd string RBs and without any type of passing game what-so-ever, and a QB that was first demoted and then cut by the team.. this week against the Lions, League Joke Jeff Garcia was able to put together an impressive drive before being put out after a 30 yd scramble and even his backup was able to have success against our 1st Defense.
The question has to be asked if this defense with holes at DE, and DT will be able to carry the load until the young-un JPL comes around or is finally replaced by Holcomb.
Maybe the pressure needs to be taken off of the Defense by replacing JP with someone who can be more of a caretaker with the offensive unit and won't make the rookie mistakes. If the staff tries to force the JP issue the team may struggle to a 1-3 start, where if Holcomb is allowed to run the show until JP comes around this top 5 defense and top STs units are good enough to ride to a 3-1 start to the season meanwhile the young QB gets the practice reps he never got last year due to his injury.
It has become apparent that JP needs more time and this is why we brought Kelly to Buffalo, as an insurance policy.
