My random thoughts Ryan Van Denmark - Looked OK, a strong performance in the run game and OK performance in the pass rush. Pretty good for what is a backup swing tackle. D-line just got gashed in the ground game this is just looking like a lot like last years defense - I know reinforcements are coming with the PED Twins and Ed Oliver and there's always the trade deadline where a decent player could be added but either this team is holding back for the playoffs or this just isn't quite the defense we need. This defense was put in a bad spot sometimes by the offense and they made the big plays when needed but the running game defense was an issue. Cole is up Rapp is down - Cole obviously had a very big play on the Philly special INT but even beyond that Cole had another solid game. Cole after a bad week 1 has been trending in the right direction. I thought Rapp while not tragic wasn't very good either. I think if I am looking at a move on defense maybe replacing Rapp and moving him back into a more "Big Nickel" role might suit him better. Bills ground game overall on offense seems to be chugging along - Saints defense ain't good but it isn't bad. Bills pass protection while not bad seemed worse than it was due to the relatively high volume of 3 sacks but the pressure rates and other metrics were still good for the o-line down a starter. Offense put the defense in some bad field positions and the defense actually didn't do bad. WR's/TE's were OK, it's all been very solid but unspectacular thus far just have to hope Kincaid and Keon keep developing and the team gets reliable production from Palmer and Shakir plus the rest. Overall it is human nature to not get up for a game like this but the Bills gotta open up 3 score leads on some of these games just like they did against the Jets. If the Bills come out so/so against the Pats they could get got in that game...

This is how you do it!

I watch them as well. Have been for decades. I meant who are you to criticize someone for posting something as obvious as Tre's fall from Pro Bowl player to JAG. He plays too far off the line to be effective most of the time. The TD to Waddle last week was because of his poor play. I love the guy, but he's fallen off tremendously and has become a liability to the secondary, any non-Homer can see it. He makes the occasional 'big play' but overall, he's a backup CB, at best. Mahomes will target him a dozen times when we play the loathsome Chiefs and it'll be ugly.

I’ve seen Terrell Bernard make plenty of game changing plays.

Dump McDermott for Coach Saunders. Git'r done.

that's been the case for 5 years. How many championships do we have? Yeah it might be a problem.

Ted Cruz, 2013, the Shutdown that propelled him into the White House. Remember?

McDermy and the Babich posse will be out coached in this one. Here's some additional data to support our sorry run defense. Henry had 169 on the Billls Babich run defense. The next three games Henry was held under 60 yards per game. Saints had 189 yards on the ground. I believe the Bills D is giving up an average of roughly 140 a game. Look for Pats to run the ball up our sorry A D and quick passes. McDermy and Babich will react at some point in the 4th quarter. Stay the course, stay the process, review the film. Pats not scared of our D. We'll be burning our storm front jerseys after this one. Hope I'm wrong but McDermy and Babich have not shown me anything to change my thoughts. On the positive side, we're not worse than the Ravens D.

Also led the league in punting average for 5 years!

Whiffs all over the place yesterday. I assume the players will be seeing a lot of film that makes them groan. Hopefully, they can fix it.

💯

I think the general feeling is more about the volume of individuals, as opposed to any single skill set. The combination of Oliver, Milano, Hoe, Ogun, and Hair were all supposed to be starters or significant contributors. When you are out 5/15 top defenders, 5/15 are regressing, and the last 5/15 are meh to begin with you are in a bad spot. There is no silver bullet in here, but it will likely be better.

I think this is the result of playing a lot of zone and rushing four. Somehow, when they play Lamar, they've learned to rush with discipline and keep him contained. Other teams, I think they turn the lineman loose a bit more, which means there are gaps for the QB to escape. It's part of the reason the Bills' rush defense numbers are bad.

A shutdown hits the lowest-paid workers first, NOT Congress. Federal contractors, TSA staff, and janitors lose paychecks while elected officials still get PAID. Funny how that works. https://x.com/FluentInFinance/status/1972653718475546739

Yes it was not delivered well… again Little Ben appears sensitive .. he doesn’t have the talent he had in Detroit and he’s shocked he’s not able to overcome it.. realizing he’s still brilliant of course

A person who watches the games.

Lots of us already know it is,

@BillsFanNC, @Big Blitz, and @B-Man ought to be proud for their tireless work infecting America.

Are Ed and Milano definitely back for the Pats? Any chance we see Hairston?

Excellent write up Shaw66, you hit the nail on the head as usual, always a great read, thanks,

Is it almost as if the party not in power likes shutdowns? Should we imagine that?

Who are you?
