Green Lightning

Mahomes may not feast on our safeties, only because our CBs will be a bus ride off their receivers, giving him 10 yards a pass play. The plan is to exhaust his arm.

We've gone from "everybody eats" to "everybody sucks" pretty quickly. I do wish Beane would get over the Keon bust and trade for a legit threat WR, but there's got to be more to this. DC'S are wise to us, Josh is not being Josh, and Brady has no answers other than hand the ball to Cook or screens to Shakir.

Regardless of who plays at CB, if they start a play in the same zipcode as the receivers they cover, we just may get off the field now and again.

Bizarre. I think I'd rather say it was a shotgun snap!

If it were to happen, I think both would need to go out together. But let's be serious. Given the tire fire that is the Sabres and Terry won't move on Kevyn in 6 years, McBeane is going nowhere.

I don't know, just being a smart ass, but I couldn't think of how else he could do it!

Likely should wear his helmet when practicing shotgun snaps.

Yup, so some on the board hope we make the playoffs and pray nobody runs on us. Seems like a plan. This D is broken. We have mini-me LBs who can't stay on the field, clueless safeties, average but slow CBs and a DLine that just can't close out the deal. Throw in abysmal tackling and a DC who has the CBs 15 yards off receivers and you have our defense, which cannot stop the run or pass but hopes the other team makes a mistake along the way.

Chiefs are playing great D now and just beat the Lions. We cannot beat any team with an even or winning record. The Bills are a hot mess of small, slow, average players who can't stay on the field. Right now I would favor the Pats winning the division.

Billsy fumble away their control of the AFCE!

Can't argue that.

This is on Beane. Pays a lot for midling talent and only Josh and Cook are bonafide threats. Refuses to draft or acquire speed at wideout and has mini-me LBs that cannot take a 17 game pounding. Our secondary is dreadfully slow. The D line is always clise but seldom finishes. Let's see what retreads he comes up with in the bye week. So, who can this team beat? All the teams we beat had a losing record. Any team with a few wins, we lose.

Well you don't have either. No #1 seed and a flawed team chasing the Pats in the AFCE.

D is awful. No receiver that creates separation. Brady's bone head calls and face it, Josh was awful. Bad day for the MVP.

Remember when we talked about the #1 seed? What a joke.

Perpetually injured. Time to go. The mini-me LBs era needs to be over with.

Agree. We basically play a prevent defense, continually 12 yards off the receivers, we give up easy underneath yardage because our DBs are too slow and the pass rush seldom gets home. The D is based on making other teams drive the field and hope they make a mistake. And it works, if the O puts up 30+ points a game. Issue is, great teams with great QBs that we meet in the playoffs will chew up that D. This Defense makes every game, regardless of the quality of the opponent, a white knuckle game in the 4th quarter.

Win is a win. But this D is just the same as last year's D. Can't get off the field on 3rd and long and can't get the QB on the ground. Our DBs are slow and D line just can't get home. Groot disappeared. Bosa and Walker balled. Finally, thank God for Bernard!

The Speed Bumps

Valid.

I realize it's just pre-season game one, but I was disappointed nobody with the ones or twos got home. Where I am at on the D is show me. Just get off the field on 3rd and long actually put the QB on the turf. Haven't seen it for several seasons and didn't against the Giants. And while hope springs eternal, hope alone is a bad strategy. Let's see if the latest effort to address the D line actually works. It's show us time.

Ditto. Looks like the same D to me. Not a lot of pressure and giving up 3rd and long. Watching the Jets D line now and they are pushing Green Bay all over the field. I expected more pressure from our revamped D line.

He was explaining in the huddle about Galileo proving heavier things do not fall any faster than lighter things. It was brilliant.

Solid. I am in Rochester and it was a kick to see it. The best was Josh talking Galileo.
