Just because you don't remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen though. He read the play well and ran at Knox, then just tapped his Jersey slightly.

I've included some pictures of the TD.
First picture, Marcus squaring him up to tackle.
Second picture, Marcus grabbing dust.

He got faked out. It happens. Doesn't bother me.

Even Demario gets beat, juked, or misses a tackle sometimes. Like AG said it happens. The kid is still a top 5 free safety all day everyday

I don’t see anything wrong with pointing out issues the defense has. Philly ran it down their throats. They couldn’t hold lead against Atl and NY. They aren’t getting much QB pressure and, when they do, they don’t contain the QB well. It was fantastic that they held Buff to 10 first half points. But it wasn’t a dominating performance. For the most part Bills drove from drive 1 and D couldn’t stop them but for the Ints. And the Bills scored on drive 1 of the first half and drive 1 of the second. Don’t want to hear the “tired” excuses. Offense sucked big time. Defense was average.

Agree completely. See the ravens and Trent dilfer. Am avg offense that used ball control with a dominant defense.

Oh don't forget how our DBs do their little hand shake and dance when we're getting the **** kicked out of us in the 4th quarter with no chance of coming back. But hey...they did their job and batted a pass or had good coverage and have to celebrate all cute like a bunch of ****in losers. Lol.

No, Philly didn't run it down our throats. Josh Allen ran it down our throats the two RBs averaged 2.9 YPC.

You don't rush and contain a QB at the same time. If you sack him he is contained, if you fail to sack him he is gone. It is one or the other with very different approaches. Pressure and containment do not go hand in hand.

I'm not expecting much from the team this week or the rest of the year to be honest. Next year however has a different feel to me as usual. Hope springs eternal!
