We all know this defense has been hit with injuries hard (Poz, Simpson, Denney, Hargrove (suspension), Ellison, Wire, Webster, Youboty and McGee have all missed time and are either starters or key reserves).
But look at this. I will list the teams the Bills have played and list two numbers. The first is the points allowed by the Bills. The second is the average points per game scored by that team. In every game this season, the Bills have held the team under their average (although Pittsburgh is pretty close).
Denver - Scored 15, Average 17.0
Pittsburgh - Scored 26, Average 26.3
New England - Scored 38, Average 41.4
New York Jets - Scored 14, Average 17.4
Dallas - Scored 25, Average 32.4
Baltimore - Scored 14, Average 17.7
Jets - Scored 3, Average 17.4
Not an indicator of a great defense, but when one considers the injury issues, people should be at least consider it a decent performance, imo.
