    ...Number 1 defense Miami!

    now I don't believe that we will be number one at the end, but I do hope we will be in top 10.

    I was so going to post about this, but I figured it won't last long.

    That being said, we should have a pretty strong defense this year. If they play like they did on Sunday for the rest of the year, top 10 is definitely possible.

    If we're still number 1 after next week, I'll be impressed. Buffalo doesn't have a damn clue on offense. Still, it was encouraging for a couple reasons: 1) We got a ton of pressure and 2) We had maybe 3 missed tackles (?)

    To tackle that well against the likes of Spiller and Lynch is impressive. Gotta continue that next week.

    I've been saying all offseason that the D was an easy fix with the addition of Nolan and Dansby. I saw scheme as the biggest issue. Last year we were top 5 at stopping third down conversions. Usually that correlates with being a very good defense. Our issues were big plays given up and the lack of turnovers generated. Just changing the scheme to use a true FS would eliminate about half of those big plays. Adding a faster coverage LB (Dansby) would eliminate another 25% - 30% of those big plays. I stated several times that those two changes alone were enough to make us a top 15 defense. If we added a play making FS then we were easily a top 10 defense. Clemons hasn't shown those ball hawk tendencies, but he's at least limiting the mental errors that killed us last year.

    Now all this has to be tempered b/c it was Buffalo, but I haven't seen anything to alter my offseason belief that we will at least be a top 15 defense.

    Fair enough. They arent good. But we played them there last year and did not dominate them. So, I see improvement.

    And if a bad team sucks you are supposed to dominate them. We did. I dont know what else we can ask for.

    They arent good and we did all we could do.

    If we are going to temper our emotion because the Bills offense sucks, lets acknowledge then that our offense played a pretty decent defense. They may not be the Ravens, but they are better than the Colts.

    And although the Bills offense is pretty bad, I wouldn't put them as the absolute worst in the NFL. Think about the Rams, Bucs, Browns, Raiders, Chiefs, Redskins... there are a lot of crap offenses that were allowed to do more this week than the Bills.
