I thought he was poked in the eye or a bloody nose. I didn’t flip out. I thought he’d miss a few plays and come back in.

I agree regarding Benford. He should travel with Wilson wherever he goes. Last week, the Bills defense ran a 4-3 base defense on 17 of the 51 defensive plays. Maybe you want a higher % than that but if the LBs don’t tackle better (Milano and Bernard) if won’t make any difference. Those guys need to play better. It’s that simple.

Allen was on fire in this game. He looked like he was in complete control of the offense and on top of his game. The ball spot on his slide was absolutely terrible. There was also a terrible spot of a dump off throw to Shakir deep in Bills territory. The second and third offensive series for the Bills was trash play calling. Just way too conservative and predictable. In games like these, need to have urgency on every possession.

That was a great drive and then they ***** the bed. Too many mistakes

Watching that game last night made me appreciate Matt Milano even more. How many times did Hurts burn the Cowboys with his legs for a TD or a first down?

I believe Codrington is first to be cut when a roster spot is needed. He can’t play defense.

Aah. Did not know he’s 29. Bummer

Wilkerson did look good. I was thinking he was this year’s Tyrel Shavers. PS this season and hopefully a breakout next offseason. Hopefully they can keep him around.

Some nicknames are well earned.

I’ll take your word on all these stats. I think Jerry Ostroski summed up the game in the most accurate way. In summary, he said you had 2 teams approaching the game in two different ways. The Bears playing at home trying to change the culture and win the game. The Bills already established team were trying to evaluate their players. Last night’s game was important for some Bills players trying to make the roster. I will say I have some concern at Safety.

You’re right about Hardy. He is buried on the depth chart. Iirc Couch was dinged up in practice earlier in the week. Don’t know if he was in the joint practice with the Bears.

To me, it looked like the Bills were trying to evaluate bottom of the 53 roster spots the entire game. As you pointed out above, some good individual performances and too much bad.

Last year, the Bears crushed the Bills in preseason. The Bears ended up firing their coach and sucked. The Bills won the division, Allen got MVP, and they lost to the Chiefs in the playoffs again. Last night says nothing.

Anything is possible but I highly doubt they cut him now. It would draw much more criticism by the fan base and as McD pointed out - they don’t know what they have with him. The Safety room is a real concern - Rapp has trouble staying healthy, Hamlin is a marginal player at best, apparently Forrest is terrible, and Cam Lewis is not ideal size. Starting to believe Beane makes a move in acquiring a safety around cut down day. Either a trade or sign a cut down guy. Heck, they may even bring back Poyer since he knows the system.
