I hope that this younger team will avoid the injury bug and have a stronger season. I’m really excited to see this team in action! Go Bills! #BillsMafia🎉

If we can miss those season ending injuries I think we'll be top 10 defense.

We're def better than the Defense we had on the field in the playoffs over the past 2 seasons. We had a Championship roster but they were all hurt along with their backups. Bernard played hurt in the playoffs and Milano was down most of the year. As for the cornerbacks...Douglas played hurt in the playoffs and Tre was gone for 2 years. Benford was playing hurt too if I remember correctly. I like Rapp, but he plays so recklessly that he hurts our own guys.

Benford and Bernard missed the divisional round and Douglas played hurt. And we were on short rest because of the storm. Just a total disaster.

The bills are always hurt on defense come playoff time nothing is gonna change.

Great video. Obviously we don't have Douglas if White doesn't get hurt. I wish that was mentioned more when White is described as some big loss. Appreciate everything White gave us but that was an upgrade. I'd still feel more comfortable with a quality depth piece there but no need to rush on that. Elam will either earn that trust in July and August or he won't. Luckily that's a free agent pool that is still pretty deep for this time of year.

I know we promoted from within, but a major factor could be having new coordinators on both sides of the ball. Sometimes a little bit of a scheme change can unlock players, or we could see growing pains from the increased responsibilities of the young coaches. It will be interesting to see what happens

Totally agree! Not to mention a few new position coaches for the D

Jones, Vonn and GROOT Healthy helps. Milano back helps even if he isn’t 100% and plays a role. Love Epensa back, need to push him! We need another Vet CB, go get our 1st pick back, Gilmore for $4-5mil/1yr. Still have $6 mil of Josh salary that can make that up.

The DE position is a concern. I could see the Bills trying to land someone good via trade around the deadline. Maybe they'll be fine using other position players to blitz.

@erivej 19 күн бұрын

I call it slight downgrade up front, slight upgrade at LB, push in the secondary. Upside is that the team is younger and faster. I really am liking that Browning can kick too. If he can hold, might be a good thing.

@bignorm8586 19 күн бұрын

Yes I think we did improve our defense we are younger and we are faster and stronger than previous years I think we're going to have less injuries this year too

On paper, the defense should be better than last season. But maybe not as good as ‘21

One thing that everyone has forgotten, and never talks about is Kingsley Jonathan has been used in preparation for every game by mimicking their opponents number one pass rusher. That’s a very unique talent.

@jcZo23 19 күн бұрын

LoL it's far from unique, every team does this & they clearly don't think he's good due to the lack of play time

After years of zero 1st rd draft picks at WR or OL & an absorbent amount of DL picks & signings they still suck & completely disappeared against KC yet again.. a mediocre unit at best like the WR core

@truvski1043 19 күн бұрын

When you have a top 3 scoring offence for 4 years whats a 1st round wr going to do? The season has ended due to defensive injuries of course there going to try bolstering the defense. Glad youre not a GM.

@jcZo23 19 күн бұрын

@truvski1043 what's it gonna do? B3 better than Gabe Davis & actually beat KC in the playoffs that's what it will do, Allen is this teams sole relevance, ya put elite pieces around him

@truvski1043 19 күн бұрын

@jcZo23 you're talking like diggs wasn't good, cook wasnt good Shakir wasn't good Cole beasley wasn't good John brown wasn't good, Knox and Kincaid aren't good, josh didn't just run down the field for 75 yards every time they scored for the last 4 years. You're mad we didn't use a late round 1st on a wr that would possibly be a number 2 and be able to fill the same role as Davis while Davis is still on a rookie contract.

@truvski1043 Diggs wasn't good in the playoffs ever cuz he's all they had & the rest clearly weren't good enough

@@jcZo23 so diggs has 300 yards every game?
