Thank you defense.... seriously.

I thank the defense, because without that play yesterday's game would have been even harder to take. I hate they played such a great game and then we lost it (in that way). I know it was Buffalo, but that D was lights out. I haven't seen a D like that in a while from this squad. We were missing Davis but we still came out hitting. Beason, Peppers, Harris, on point. Hollis Thomas is nasty. I think if we get a decent HC in here our defense can be fine.

I can't believe our defense kept them to like 150 yards or something total and we had 450 and lost.

Hates off to Meeks.

Yeah, the defense looked really good out there. Hollis Thomas has been a huge help, and having Harris back has been huge, too.

I just wish we had a semi-competent offense that didn't constantly put the defense in bad shape. I want to know how many of the other teams' points have been scored off of turnovers. I would think it has to be something like 70%.

It's a shame that we have to waste away such a good defense because of our horrible offense. It's not even fair to the defense to continue to play Jake.

The defense played great, however I was getting pissed with all those defensive timeouts we were burning. For awhile there, substitutions looked sloppy, and fat linemen were running 4.4 40's to get off the field before the ball was snapped. Some of the coaching on defense was ugly, but the players flat out got after it. That hit by Harris was timed perfectly. And the safety was an all-out bum rush to the end zone.

If you want to sum up this team over the last 4-5 years, it's that we can't get the offense and defense to fire at the same time.

They definitely weren't the problem today.

But I still wished they would play tougher when jake turns it over. I know it's not a fair criticism but look at the turnovers versus other drives. First turnover, Bills get it on the 7, first rush = stuffed, second rush = waltz in?

Second turnover from the 27 this time. 5 plays, touchdown.

Third turnover, this time in their territory. First play? 50 yard bomb by ryan fuging fitzgerald.

The defense needs to realize that with jake at the helm they are going to have to come off the bench after a short rest and in a difficult situation and play hard-nosed. On the drives where we punt or where they recieved the kickoff we look like Baltimore. After turnovers we look like Tampa.
