**** game it looks like. just tuning in at half

[Cactus Jack]

Fire Norton!


7 sacks. But you can't blitz everyone all the time. That's just stupidity.

That 3rd & 16 sequence is unacceptable

Dunbar needs to be immediately released...he alone is the primary reason Buffalo keeps scoring...pathetic defense

It's Norton & the coaches. They've gotten pressure (7 sacks). But you can't bring the House on every down. Or you will eventually get burned for it.

That was a bomb. 3 TO's by Russ. Killer.

f this game. Wilson looks awful

f this game. Wilson looks awful

Aside from the turnovers, I thought he played well. Threw for almost 400 yards. The TO's we're the killer.

Dunbar played worse!





Jamal Adams is grading out as a bottom tier Safety. The scheme is a **** mess.

I think in the offseason we learned Dunbar is an idiot, Flowers should not be in the NFL, Shaquille is hurt...

I'm not sure what to make of Diggs this year and I think Adams is fine but the scheme sucks...So IS it Norton or Pete's D? I would assume Pete isn't calling every single coverage, but overall the philosophy has been crap. Are we seriously unable to try more cover 2 tampa even if we can't man up?

Now that we look like we can blitz, does Adams need to have to be a linebacker? We are basically playing like a 4-4 with prevent secondary. what the hell is that?

Flowers struggles in coverage. He's better in Press. But he's just not good enough to see the field. Rumor is Dunbar has played with an injury. Is that an excuse? Or is he being utilized incorrectly (Scheme)? Because he's graded out very good in previous seasons.

Diggs has struggled. He played well towards the end of last year. So, what has changed? Adams has been injured & should improve. But he shouldn't be as bad as he has been in coverage (Scheme).

They've gotten worse every year under Norton. They're way too vanilla & play the same coverages for the most part (Don't disguise), so teams know how to attack beforehand. Will often play either super aggressive (like we saw against Buffalo at times) or go ultra conservative. A recipe for disaster.

With Flowers locked on to the shallow route to his side and thinking there was no other vertical threat, there was no one in his deep third zone to be able to play the over route. The result was an easy touchdown.

You can even see the deep-middle safety (Quandre Diggs) looking back in disbelief after the play. Clearly a mistake was made.

3rd-and-16 came with the Bills leading 27-20 in the 4th quarter. The Seahawks would end up bringing a 0-Blitz. Quinton Dunbar (bottom of the screen) played with so much cushion, though.

The Bills were able to throw a quick WR screen for an easy 33 yards. I like the decision to be aggressive and bring a 0 blitz here. I don’t like having your cornerback play with 15 yards of cushion, especially on the edge of field goal range on 3rd-and-16, where the offense would be more than happy to take an easy 8-yard gain and kick a field goal to go up by two scores. The cushion invited that throw and left the injured Dunbar on an island.

Bad coverage. Bad tackling. Blown coverages. Bad decision-making. The Seahawks had a problem on defense in Buffalo. And quite frankly, they’ve had one all season.
