Bleeding Bills Blue

Where's our pass rush. So far only the weird blitzing has resulted in any pressure

We didn't blitz on the final drive - mario and hughes didnt cover on the final drive. They just didnt get any pressure. How do you blame rex for that?

This isn't an excuse for Rex, but has anybody else noticed that when we DO rush our front 4, they don't get pressure? Mario, Dareus, and Hughes - aren't getting it done. What changed in a year? I'm not sure - but all 3 of them are playing worse than a year ago.

To be fair, Miami couldn't beat them either

miami also lost to the jags... in case anybody is counting.

Disagree with you. We're built to play with anybody. We haven't been healthy, and have dug ourselves into some early holes. We have a bye week at a pretty good time. Time to get healthy, and start correcting the errors. Not saying were going to win out or anything, but i don't see why the bills can't hover around .500. The difference between 7-9 and 9-7 isnt THAT big.

I for one am sick of the lack of continuity that we have had with regards to GM and HC over the last 15 years. We've let some wear out their welcome, and others have flat out quit. Firing a coach who has been mildly successful in this league because our BACKUP QB decided to have an absolute meltdown in the 2nd quarter, doesn't make sense to me. Firing the GM of the most talented roster we have had in a decade because our backups aren't good, doesn't make sense. But hey, if you want to bring in another marrone, gailey, jauron, donahoe, brandon (can you believe that this guy was our GM for a time?)... more power to you. Those are the types who would be willing to take TPs money and dive on this grenade. I agree that what is going on right now is bad, and I'm not in denial. But I guess I just believe in giving the guys a chance to do something with our roster over a couple of years, or right the ship this year. Not a what, 5 game stretch of the season when we are decimated with injuries. As for the actual "execs", I really hate Russ Brandon. Hopefully his football decision making has been fully removed, because he doesn't know a thing.

Then it's on Pegula. He owns the team, he should be charging the batteries... give me a break.

We sucked, but the sky isn't falling. We've had 2 coaches quit on us in the last 15 years. Multiple other bad coaches and horribly unqualified gms. If we fire Rex, I don't want to know who wants this job. We'll end up with someone like a Caldwell or philbin...

Yes. He had the flu, and it was a fluke. We won on a punt return.

He rushed his four all game long and they did nothing. That's what everyone wanted. Our linebackers miss their gaps and give up big runs, but that's on the play caller? Are u kidding me?? There was an ill timed blitz, but we had a 4th down stop on the goal line, a pick 6 and almost won a game we were down 24. When do we hold players accountable for playing badly??

Except where he railed off 40 seconds of time and gave up a td to gronk. That might have been the single dumbest thing I've ever seen

What the hell was bowles plan at the end of this game? Lose 40 seconds and don't call timeout. And kick a field goal down 10? A mess.

In fact... I thoug Rex did an excellent job keeping his guys in a blowout game. Execution at the end wasn't great, but he let the d line loose like everyone wanted and we played fairly well. Romans calls at the end there were the biggest coaching issue I have.

What about this game today falls on Rex? Explain cuz I'd love to hear. We throttled their offense all game, and our qb gave this one away. But let's keep blaming the coach.

Graham pulled up clutching his groin on the td play. But instead of the game on the line 4th and 15 it's 1st and 10 from the 25 or whatever. That call just... Killed me.

It can switch for us in the same way as it did for them can't it? Gotta get the locker room back

Miami is an example of what could happen. Baltimore is also an example... It can go well or poorly just like that. Rex is right, dig in and get back to work. Don't dwell on it, just gotta dig in and keep at it. Some big games coming up, gotta battle.

They still should have fired marvin lewis years ago. He's a lousy coach.

Another of those - Theyre in hurry up, we can't line up, we dont know what to do.... EVERYONE BLAME EVERYONE

I don't think that there was even a route there other than "beat the guy 1x1". Dalton will see where you go - fade, slant, quick out and just throw accordingly.

With our injury situation, i would take mccoy over alonso. Only way we do well is if mccoy does well this week.

Rambo did nothing on the play but back pedal. he assumed it was a corner fade and didnt even watch eifert to see what he was doing.

Agree with this for the most part. The scheme isnt necessarily bad - the complicated nature of it is allowing quick snap and no huddle to get free plays when were confused. That's on Rex to simplify it, and use it when needed. If you aren't getting any pressure, go with exotic blitz looks. If you can get pressure with the front 4, dont bother lining up in those gaps, give the linebackers the extra steps so they can stay with their man. The biggest problem is the D seems to have difficulty lining up in a man coverage defense believe it or not. The linebackers keep getting caught up in traffic and PA, and the safeties seem slow.

They also have to want to coach the bills. Its a short list.
