Whistle past the graveyard all you want, but this defense has been pretty fucking awful recently to close out games.

Do you think they’re going to play this poorly in the playoffs?
They’re obviously not as good as last year, but this is the first game in however long that they’ve given up 30.
That doesn’t mean 30/game is the new normal

No. 30 points will be an outlier. Far more concerned with them giving up potential game tying or winning drives 3 straight games now.

Yup. Earlier in the year we were nails at that, and now it seems like teams can just go right down the field late in the game when they have to have it.
I said this last week against the Broncos when a rookie QB comes in and makes the plays he has to put them in position to win. And everyone was all "wE OnLY alLoWEd 14 PoinTS" and I said...."yeah but that's ignoring the real issue."
That real issue was Josh Allen yesterday and the fact that we couldn't stop him when it mattered.
40 drop backs. No sacks. This defense is having issues too.
