We have the worst tackling team in the NFL. Week after week we give up crazy yards after contact. So many times we will have the QB or RB in our grasp for a loss or short gain and they somehow get 7 yards out of it. And then at the end of the game when we know they are gonna run it but we still surrender 6 or 7 yards a play, that crap aint gonna fly in the playoffs.
Just goes to show how important Williams and Spillane are to our defense because no one else seems to be able to make a play
Funny you say that because to my eye we have one of the best tackling teams in the NFL
Didn't Carlton Davis missed his tackle/sack on Allen and even allowed him to gain yardage passed LOS. That was infuriating.
Yes exactly, plays like that happen multiple times a game, free blitzer on the edge or corner and they run right at the QB and try to arm tackle and whiff.
Or the multiple times when we had Cook surrounded at the LOS and he walks forward for 6 yards
I get its frustrating but profootball reference tracks missed tackles and we have the fewest missed tackle in the entire NFL.
Other teams have guys that get paid too. James Cook already had almost 1600 yards coming into todays game. Josh Allen won MVP last year for a reason. You arent going to stonewall opponents on every single play.
Defense overall was horrible today, but tackling is way down the list of issues this team has.
Since Milton Williams went down weve allowed opposing offensive lines to win in the run game and all year long weve struggled to get much pressure off the edge. Spillane was a major missing piece this week as well. Have to hope those guys are able to be back at 100% for the playoffs because if not, playoff teams will pick us apart.
