  1. It was obvious on the field.  The man should not have been out there.   The Bengals were way wrong playing him.  I hope the NFL fines them a million bucks and takes away a few draft choices as well.  I  feel terrible for Higgins the man, he was taken advantage of big time.

    4 fumbles (2 lost) in the last 2 games. Someone make me feel better and tell me this will not be an issue going forward. Please.

    I recall this was a problem his first year.  He is moving back to his old tendency.

    Did Hairston play today??  I don't think I saw him a single time

    He was in there some but didn't hit the stat sheet.

    i saw him once. I didn’t see Hancock at all. Would love to know the snap counts. 

    Check Joe B in the athletic who gives that data

    After this game, the Bills may be dead last in run D. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Outside of Hoecht and Oliver, the rest of the D is for the most part healthy. 
     

    After ten games in, what needs to change? Is the run game D issues the DL or LB? The secondary looks somewhat better but that soft zone on 3rd and long has to change. It’s embarrassing watching the Bills D consistently giving up easy 3rd and long conversions.

     

    Pass rush is lackluster and there is no one that is even remotely consistent enough. Far too often the pass rush is neutralized. We are not a very good blitzing team either. 
     

    Would love to hear other’s thoughts on how this D improves down the stretch?  There is no calvary coming so unless we plan on winning every game in a shootout something has to change!

    I don't think Bernard is healthy, he is having trouble running.  Chasing Mayfield, he was slowwww.  Has had a bad ankle all season.  Others are somewhat dinged too.  I would not go with for the most part healthy.  Look at the injury report and see who played.

    I agree with your assessment of both. Torrence to me has been steady in his career but far from great or elite. I would definitely think he replacement with an average G either through a higher end draft pick or mid level free agent. 

    I don't think h e has missed a game.  Duribility is a factor not noted in this comment.  Helps bring stability to the line w that ability to stay healthy.  He will get  paid elsewhere imho.

  6. appears to me that Allen is being instructed not to run sometimes.  He did not run once in the first half against Miami, seemed to be leashed.  They are trying to make force JA into the role of pocket passer. they let him run in the second half. He needs to go when he smells an opening, and is hanging in to long.  They are messing w his style.  This doesn't in any way oppose the argument the the wideouts are weak as a group.  shakir is fine, after that not much.  Coleman is big, not fast, and unreliable.  He snagged one td yesterday and had another one he couldn't get to on the deflection.  Those contested balls were supposed be his thing, but that isn't working out.

  7. Unfortunately, he will be gone.  Economics will dictate that as cap availability will be a problem.  He will get twice what the Bills can pay.  Its a pleasure to see him for one season through.  He has good attitude, and likes the organization.  He is not going to pass on an extra 10-15  million  to enjoy the Bills culture. His brother and he have  been driven by their father to maximize their pro income.  Nick even sat out the back end of his last college season OSU so he didn't risk injury.  Folks from that culture will be dollar driven.  I am not complaining, it is their right to optimize in their favor, just observing what seems to be going on.  So, JB, give all you have this year.  You are likely one and done here ala Terrill Owens a generation ago.

    This game was an eye-opener.  It was Cole Bishop’s coming out party and also showed what a boost Mad Max can bring.  Bishop had 4 huge PBUs and was always in the right place.  Max had the speed to stick with Worthy on an early deep ball, and obviously had a great pick.  I realize there were a few “busted” coverages but as @Simon noted they are still trying to piece things together and it was obvious the communication was lacking at times.

     

    I believe the ideal “starting five” moving forward is clearly Benford/Hairston/Taron/Bishop/Hancock, with Poyer repping in occasionally.  Those guys need to play together continuously and get that communication level where it needs to be, and it could turn what has been a horrible weakness since last year into a sudden strength.

     

    On to Miami!

     

    I suspect Poyer is coaching on the field to help the newbies do right.  That is OK, in fact, inspired thinking.  Poyer is physically less than he was, but, he knows the back end of McD's defense and I understand why he is here now.  I guess Hyde could have done this last year, but his physical problems were more serious I think.

    Is it possible that Poyer makes him a better player? 

    Absolutely.  Old pros teaching young pros on the field of play!  In the field  I worked in, we always paired an experienced guy the a newby to help them to learn to perform.

    2024 Rapp would be a big loss

    2025 Rapp, this is the best possible thing

     

    Hopefully whatever was wrong with his knee contributed to the decline and he'll be back to 2024 version next year ... in a depth role.

    He had a two year contract.  He may just be gone.

    Coleman: I’m truly baffled by how such a big guy never comes back for the ball. On one of the plays where Josh threw a near-interception, Coleman went out for a shallow curl route. He stood there waiting for the ball which let the Carolina DB make a break on it. He needs to move towards the ball and box people out. 

    Yeh, coming back to the ball is both football and basketball sound.  since Coleman has background in bb too, it is surprising he is not  coached up this point.  Your comment to dead on.
