So for me it appears that statically we are better than last year. Also considering we have been worse on offense. I wonder how the turnovers and negative plays look. Frankly the defense has improved this year and has consistently put the offense in positions to take control of games, just what this coaching staff wants. They aren't perfect but they have improved. What more can you ask for given the situation? Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately they aren't and it is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment

They need to get better even if our offense was working like it was supposed to, but they are taking the steps that they need to take along the way. 1 Quote Link to comment

SFW Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The top Defenses in the country points allowed are OSU Penn St Iowa Wisky This conference is not an out score them conference. We are allowing 29.1 a game and 31.3 last year. Its clear to see where the problem lies. If Frost doesn’t make a change at DC he won’t be around in year 5. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Unfortunately I think we have to. Once you get going on that upward spiral its hard to come down. What Diaco didn't tell us was it was an upward spiral to points allowed. Quote Link to comment

So on the scoreboard the defense has improved a few points the last 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment

They finished 9-5 in 2006, and 5-7 in 2007, and he was fired. But boy, did he improve the number of points per game they scored. Your pointing out the above is what most would call a moral victory. You do know when the other team scores more points than you, you actually lose a game, right? 3 Quote Link to comment

Chinander only controls what happens on the defense whereas Bill Callahan was in control of the whole team. What were the defensive numbers like those years under Callahan? I bet the points per game allowed got worse. The offense isn't why Bills team had a worse record in 2007. Ppg allowed 2006-19.2 Ppg allowed 2007-37.9 Ppg 2018-28.6 Ppg 2019-26.3 But yea its all the defense and chins fault. Come on man Quote Link to comment
