The defense was totally worn out. Blowing wind.

Re: THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
Looks like Kamara, Ingram and Ram might be back. That's a plus. But I really have little faith in this team right now.
They gotta pull themselves out of a hole. A big one. |

Re: THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
A couple of early sacks, stopping the run, MAKE TACKLES, a quick pick six in the first quarter, and the Dome will be ON FIRE. Then we can can talk about Kamara and Ingram all night in LIVE CHAT.

Re: THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
The offense has been stagnant. The defense is not as good as they thought they were.
We had some early season success but this team is not good. They're gonna have to come alive. |

Saints turns the ball over next possession on downs giving the Bills the ball on their own 46. Defense holds Bills to a field goal. The Saints offense manages 11 yards on their next possession giving the ball back the Bills once again. The Saints defense picks off Josh Allen on the possession. The Saints offense stalls after three plays and the special teams attempted a bad fake punt giving the Bills excellent field position once again. Starting at midfield the Bills work the ball down and Allen is picked off once again. Siemian kneels on the ball to end the half.
Now tell me what the defense did so bad on the Bills early drives. They were put in bad situations by the offense and special teams and held them to 157 total yards and 10 points in the first half. |

Re: THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
I don't do live chat. Tried it once and hated it. Nothing but constant *****ing and moaning. I'd rather sit and watch closely. But, I'll be back in Section 229 watch in person again.

Re: THURSDAY NIGHT IS ON THE DEFENSE.
Yet he had FOUR tackles on that first drive. I don't remember a missed tackle. He was barely able to get a hand on Knox on that play. That wouldn't qualify as a missed tackle. He came into the game as the NFL's 2nd ranked safety according to Pro Football Focus. Kevin Byard was 1st.
